STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME

GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.

It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United States of America through LEE BICKLEY, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and defendant, MORDECHAY ALTIT, by and through his counsel, BENJAMIN GALLOWAY, Assistant Federal Defender, that the status conference set for Friday, April 26, 2013, be continued to Friday, June 21, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.

This continuance is requested to allow defense counsel additional time to prepare, to conduct ongoing investigation of the facts, and to work toward resolution of this case.

The parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

Speedy trial time is to be excluded from the date of this order through the date of the status conference set for June 21, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv) [reasonable time to prepare] (Local Code T4).

ORDER

The Court, having received, read, and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. The Court specifically finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.

The Court orders that the April 26, 2013 status conference shall be continued until June 21, 2013 at 9:00 a.m., and that the time from the date of the parties stipulation, up to and including June 21, 2013, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) T4 (reasonable time for counsel to prepare).
