STIPULATION TO CONTINUE MOTIONS SCHEDULE; ORDER

DALE A. DROZD, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULED by and through the parties through their respective counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Laura Withers, Counsel for Plaintiff, and Assistant Federal Defender Peggy Sasso, Counsel for Defendant Martel Moreno-Garcia, that the current motions schedule may be rescheduled as follows: Defense Motions to be due on or before February 12, 2019; Government Response to be due on or before March 5, 2019; Defense Reply to be due on or before March 11, 2019; Hearing on the motions to be held on March 25, 2019. This hearing is set before the Honorable Dale A. Drozd, United States District Judge.

The reason for the request is that defense counsel is currently out of the office on sick leave. The parties agree that the delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded until March 25, 2019, in the interests of justice, including but not limited to, the need for the period of time set forth herein for effective defense preparation, defense investigation, and plea negotiation purposes pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and 3161(h)(7)(B)(i) and (iv). The parties further agree that the ends of justice served by taking this action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

ORDER
