STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE OF STATUS CONFERENCE; EXCLUDE TIME

JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.

The parties stipulate, through respective counsel, that the Court should reschedule this case for status conference on July 17, 2018, at 9:15 a.m.

Defense counsel requires additional time to review discovery, to examine possible defenses, and to continue investigating the facts of the case. Additional time is necessary to confer with client about how to proceed with case.

For these reasons, counsel and the defendant agree that the Court should exclude the time from the date of this order through July 17, 2018, when it computes the time within which trial must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7), and Local Code T4.

Counsel and the defendant 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

The Court, having received, read, and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, adopts the stipulation in its entirety as its order. The Court specifically finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.

The Court orders a status conference on July 17, 2018, at 9:15 a.m. The Court orders the time from the date of the parties stipulation, up to and including July 17, 2018, excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§3161(h)(7), and Local Code T4.
