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 January 4, 2019, be vacated and that the matter be re-set for status conference on January 11, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.
Counsel have conferred and this continuance is requested to resolve the remaining count and place this matter in a posture for sentencing. A bit more time is needed to work out the final details and defense counsel has been hindered by an illness over the holidays which has delayed consultation with the defendant.
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, January 2, 2019, up to and including January 11, 2019.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
The Stipulation of the parties is hereby accepted and the requested continuance is GRANTED. This matter shall be dropped from this court's January 4, 2019 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on January 11, 2019.
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 January 2, 2019, through and including January 11, 2019.
