STIPULATION AND ORDER VACATING DATE, CONTINUING CASE, AND EXCLUDING TIME

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney Cameron Desmond, Counsel for Plaintiff, and attorney Clemente M. Jiménez, Counsel for MARCO CABRERA-SAGRERO, that the status conference currently scheduled for April 19, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., be vacated and the matter continued to this Court's criminal calendar on May 17, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. This proposed stipulation does not apply to co-defendant, Carlos Martinez-Duarte. Defense counsel requires additional time for review of evidence, to conduct further investigation, to prepare for trial, and to confer with Mr. Cabrera-Sagrero. The parties anticipate a change of plea on May 17.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that 1) denial of the defendant's request for additional time would deny defense counsel reasonable time to prepare, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, 2) time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 3161 et seq. be excluded from computation of time pursuant to Section 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), (Local code T-4), and 3) the ends of justice served in granting the continuance and allowing the defendant further time to prepare outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial.

ORDER

The status conference in the above-entitled matter, scheduled for April 19, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., is hereby VACATED and the matter is continued to May 17, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. Based on the parties' representations, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants to a speedy trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
