JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Phillip A. Talbert, United States Attorney, through, Ross Naughton Assistant United States Attorney, attorneys for Plaintiff, Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender, Noa E. Oren, attorney for Osvaldo Hernandez, Olaf Hedberg, attorney for Hector Gonzalez, Dina Santos, attorney for Noe Baeza-Bravo, and Clemente Jimenez, attorney for Vidal Gonzalez, that the status conference, currently scheduled for August 29, 2017, be continued to October 10, 2017 at 9:15 a.m.

Defense counsel is still reviewing discovery, including video and audio files. Defense counsel require additional time to review discovery with the defendants and pursue investigations.

Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded of this order's date through and including October 10, 2017; 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.

Counsel and the defendants also agree that the ends of justice served by the Court granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

ORDER

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, the Court, having received, read, and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefore, 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 October 10, 2017, 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 August 29, 2017 status conference shall be continued until October 10, 2017, at 9:15 a.m.
