STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between McGregor W. Scott, United States Attorney, through Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Howard Delgado, attorney for Plaintiff, and Federal Defender Heather E. Williams through Assistant Federal Defender Mia Crager, attorney for Asan Durana Hayes, that the status conference, currently scheduled for March 14, 2019, be continued to May 30, 2019 at 10:00 a.m.

The reason for the continuance is that the defense counsel needs additional time to review the discovery with her client and continue with an investigation.

Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded of this order's date through and including May 30, 2019; pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A)and (B)(iv)[reasonable time to prepare] and General Order 479, Local Code T4 based upon continuity of counsel and defense preparation.

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

Time from the date the parties stipulated, up to and including May 30, 2019, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and(B)(iv) [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] and General Order 479, (Local Code T4). It is further ordered the March 14, 2019 status conference shall be continued until May 30, 2019, at 10:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
