GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.
It is hereby stipulated and agreed between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendant Will Nunez, that the status conference scheduled for September 23, 2016, may be continued to November 18, 2016, at 9:00 a.m.
The parties continue to review discovery. There is extensive audio and video evidence to review. Counsel need additional time to review discovery and to continue their investigations before the case is further scheduled. The parties therefore agree that the status conference should be continued 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 and the public in a speedy trial, and ask the Court to order time excluded through November 18, 2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (b)(iv).
The status conference is continued to November 18, 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 November 18, 2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
