MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between McGregor W. Scott, United States Attorney, through Matthew Yelovich Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for Plaintiff, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Jerome Price, counsel for Robert Portune that the status conference scheduled for March 29, 2018 be vacated and continued to May 24, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.
The continuance is requested to enable defense counsel to continue the fact investigation, discovery review, and legal research necessary to determine an appropriate resolution in this matter.
Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from this order's date through and including May 24, 2018, 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.
ORDER
The Court, having reviewed and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the parties' stipulation in its entirety as its order. It 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 firtjer 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.
Time from the date the parties stipulated, up to and including May 24, 2018, 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 March 29, 2018 status conference shall be continued until May 24, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. before District Judge Morrison C. England, Jr.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
