AMENDED STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME

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

It is hereby stipulated and agreed between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendants, Will Nunez and Rene Corral, that the status conference scheduled for February 12, 2016, may be continued to April 15, 2016, at 9:00 a.m.

The parties continue to review discovery provided to defense counsel. There is extensive audio and video evidence to review. Counsel need additional time to review discovery and to pursue investigation before the case is further scheduled. The parties therefore agree that the status conference should be continued to April 15, 2016, and ask the Court to order time excluded under the Speedy Trial Act through that date in order to afford necessary time for effective preparation. The parties agree that the interests of justice to be served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of Mr. Nunez, Mr. Corral, and the public in a speedy trial, and ask the Court to order time excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (b)(iv).

Respectfully Submitted,

ORDER

The status conference is continued to April 15, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial for the reasons stated above. Time is therefore excluded from the date of this order through April 15, 2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
