STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE AND TO EXCLUDE TIME PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.
Defendant PETER KUZMENKO, by and through his attorney, Michael Chastaine, OLGA PALAMARCHUCK, by and through her attorney Michael Bigelow, PYOTR BONDARUK, by and through his attorney, Dina Santos, VERA ZHIRY, by and through her attorney, Matthew C. Bockmon, the United States, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Lee Bickley, hereby stipulate and agree to continue the status hearing in the above-captioned case from Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. to Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
This is a mortgage fraud case. The reasons for this request is to allow defense counsel to review the large volume of discovery and defense counsel are continuing to negotiate with the government to resolve this matter. Additionally, defense counsel Michael Chastaine is unavailable due to another matter.
It is further stipulated that the time period from May 9, 2013, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, August 29, 2013, shall be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act (18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) &(B)(iv) and Local Code T4, due to the need to provide defense counsel with the reasonable time to prepare, and that the ends of justice to be served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
ORDER
Based on the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties filed on May 8, 2013, and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the status conference currently scheduled for Thursday, May 9, 2013, be vacated and that the case be set for Thursday, August 29, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, for the reasons stated in the parties' May 8, 2013, stipulation, the time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded during the time period from May 9, 2013, through and including August 29, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A)&(B)(iv) [reasonable time to prepare] and Local Code T4.
