STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING CASE AND EXCLUDING TIME

GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR., District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY stipulated between the United States of America through its undersigned counsel, Roger Yang, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for plaintiff, and Kyle Knapp, attorney for defendant Larry Hampton that the previously-scheduled status conference, currently set for August 24, 2018, be vacated and that the matter be re-set for status conference on November 2, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.

Defense counsel recently picked up this case on behalf of the CJA panel and needs additional time to fully digest what has happened prior to having joined the case. Further, defense counsel is currently engaged in a homicide case in state court. Counsel have conferred and this continuance is requested to finalize investigation, review the discovery and fully prepare to fully resolve this matter or try the case.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the ends of justice served by the granting of such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act should therefore be excluded under 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B) (iv), corresponding to Local Code T-4 (to allow defense counsel time to prepare) from the date of the parties' stipulation, August 16, 2018, up to and including November 2, 2018.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Stipulation of the parties is hereby accepted and the requested continuance is GRANTED. This matter shall be dropped from this court's August 24, 2018 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on November 2, 2018.

Based on the representations of the parties the court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is excluded from the time of the filing of this stipulation on August 16, 2018, through and including November 2, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
