STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING CASE AND EXCLUDING TIME

LAWRENCE K. KARLTON], District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY stipulated between the United States of America through its undersigned counsel, Michelle Rodriguez, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for plaintiff, together with Kyle Knapp, attorney for defendant Elise Perez, that the previously-scheduled status conference, currently set for August 12, 2014, be vacated and that the matter be set for status conference on August 19, 2014 at 9:15 a.m.

Counsel have conferred and this continuance is requested to allow defense counsel additional time to review a new plea agreement in this case, conduct defense investigation and further review the discovery in this matter.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the ends of justice served by the granting of such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act should therefore be excluded under 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B) (iv), corresponding to Local Code T-4 (to allow defense counsel time to prepare) from the date of the parties' stipulation, August 7, 2014 up to and including August 19, 2014.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Stipulation of the parties is hereby accepted and the requested continuance is GRANTED. This matter shall be dropped from this court's August 12, 2014 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on August 19, 2014.

Based on the representations of the parties the court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is excluded from the time of the filing of this stipulation on August 7, 2014 through and including August 19, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
