JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.
It is hereby stipulated and agreed between Plaintiff, United States of America, and defendants Wayne York, and Juan Carlos Montalbo, that because counsel for Montalbo is in trial and February 27, 2018 is the next date when all counsel are available to appear, the status conference scheduled for February 6, 2018, may be continued to February 27, 2018, at 9:15 a.m.
All counsel agree that the status conference should be continued to February 27, 2018, 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 the defendants 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), through February 27, 2018.
The status conference is continued to February 27, 2018, at 9:15 a.m.
The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the defendants 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).
