Stipulation and [Proposed] Order For Continuance
GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney Amanda Beck, counsel for Plaintiff, and Assistant Federal Defender Timothy Zindel, counsel for Jose Lara-Morales, and Jeffrey L. Staniels, counsel for Defendant Marco Avila-Benitez, that the status conference currently set for April 8, 2016, be vacated, and that this matter be continued until May 20, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. for status conference.
In support thereof the court is advised that counsel for Defendant Lara-Morales continues to prepare various aspects of the defense for his client. The court is further advised that Government counsel and counsel for Mr. Avila-Benitez are engaged in on-going discussions of a proposed non-trial disposition which cannot be completed by April 8, 2016. Counsel believe that negotiations will be concluded and a non-trial disposition will be presented to the court for its consideration on May 20, 2016.
On this basis the parties believe and the court is requested to find that the requested continuance is reasonable, that the interests of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the interests of the defendants and the public in a speedy trial, and that time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et. seq. should be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). Local Code T-4.
ORDER
The attached stipulation of counsel is hereby GRANTED. The status conference scheduled for April 8, 2016, is VACATED, and this case is continued until May 20, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. for status conference.
The court finds that the reasons cited in support of the requested continuance justify the request and that the interests of justice furthered by granting the continuance outweigh the interests of the defendants and the public in a speedy trial.
Time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded between April 8, 2016 and May 20, 2016 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), Local Code T-4.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
