CAROLYN K. DELANEY, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between McGregor W. Scott, United States Attorney through Christopher Hales and Stephen Cody, Assistant United States Attorneys, counsel for Plaintiff, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Jerome Price, counsel for Defendant David Crawford, that the status conference scheduled for April 25, 2019
This continuance is requested due to Defense counsel unavailability. The government has no objection to this request.
Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from this order's date through and including April 11, 2019, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(4), (h) (7) (A) and (B) (iv) and General Order 479, Local Code T4 and upon need for continuity of counsel, defense preparation, and 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.
The Court, having reviewed and considered the stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation in its entirety as its order. The Court 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.
The Court orders the time from the date the parties stipulated, up to and including April 25, 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)(4), (h)(7)(A) and(B)(iv) and General Order 479, (Local Code T4).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
