STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff United States of America, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Todd D. Leras, and Attorney Olaf Hedberg on behalf of Leonard Woodfork, Attorney John Virga on behalf of Navpreet Singh, Christopher Haydn-Myer on behalf of Lovedeep Sidhu, Mark Reichel on behalf of Navjot Singh, Dan Koukol on behalf of Jason Cavileer, and Christopher Cosca on behalf of Ramiro Garcia, that the status conference scheduled for December 7, 2012, be continued to January 31, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.

Plea Agreements are pending for several defendants in this matter. In addition, continuing investigation is occurring because the conspiracy alleged in the case involves voluminous discovery, including telephone calls intercepted during the course of three successive rounds of wiretaps. Counsel requires additional preparation time. The parties therefore request to continue the status conference to January 31, 2013.

For the above-stated reasons, the parties stipulate that time be excluded under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv); Local Code T4 (reasonable time to prepare and continuity of counsel). Defense counsel have authorized Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd D. Leras to sign this stipulation on their behalf.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. A status conference in this matter is set for January 31, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.;

2. Based on the stipulation of the parties, the Court finds that the ends of justice outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendant in a speedy trial. Accordingly, time under the Speedy Trial Act shall be excluded under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) and Local Code T4 (reasonable time to prepare) up to and including January 31, 2013.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
