STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel, the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and the undersigned attorneys for defendants, that the STATUS CONFERENCE shall be re calendared for April 11, 2019. Defense counsel Reichel starts trial in the Eastern District of California on February 19, 2019, which is expected to last 4 weeks. As well, the parties and all counsel are presently reviewing discovery, investigating matters and engaging in preparation for either motion work or negotiations on the case.

Both defense counsel need the additional time to review discovery, explore potential defenses, and conduct legal research and factual development. Accordingly, all counsel and defendant agree that time under the Speedy Trial Act from the date this stipulation is lodged, through April 11, 2019 should be excluded in computing the time within which trial must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (H)(7)(B)(iv) and Local Code T4 in that the granting of the continuance serves the ends of justice and outweighs the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

Defense counsel Mark Reichel has personally spoken with both defendants and hereby avers to the court that both defendants understand the matters occurring in the case at present, and avers that both defendants personally agrees to the new court date of April 11, 2019 and understands the reasons for the requested continuance.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
