STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Benjamin Wagner, U.S. Attorney, through Matthew Morris, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Matthew M. Scoble, attorney for STEPHEN WOOD, that the status conference scheduled for September 17, 2015 be vacated and be continued to November 5, 2015 at 9:00 a.m.
Defense counsel requires additional time to review discovery with the defendant and pursue investigation, as well as continue negotiations toward a non-trial disposition.
Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from this order's date through and including November 5, 2015, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(A)and (B)(iv)[reasonable time to prepare] and General Order 479, Local Code T4 based upon continuity of counsel and defense preparation.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, the Court, having received, read, and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the parties' stipulation in its entirety as its order. The Court specifically finds 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 the ends of justice are served by granting the requested continuance and outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.
The Court orders the time from the date the parties stipulated, up to and including November 5, 2015, 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)(A) and(B)(iv) [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] and General Order 479, (Local Code T4). It is further ordered the September 17, 2015 status conference shall be continued until November 5, 2015, at 9:00 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
