STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.
It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between plaintiff United States of America and defendant Ou Vern Saeteurn, through their respective attorneys, that the status conference set for May 16, 2019, shall be continued by the Court to June 6, 2019, at 9:30 a.m., to allow defense counsel necessary time to review discovery produced by the United States, conduct counsel's independent investigation into the facts and applicable law, interview witnesses, consider a potential pre-trial resolution proposal, and otherwise prepare defendant's case.
This case involves, among other allegations, that defendant participated in a controlled substance distribution operation along with his brother, A Vern Saeteurn, who is charged in a separate related case (Case Number 2:18-cr-212 TLN). Given the need for further preparation time, counsel for Ou Vern Saeteurn requests that time be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and B(iv) and Local Code T4 to allow reasonable time to prepare.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Vincenza Rabenn has reviewed this stipulation and authorized Attorney Todd D. Leras via email to sign it on his behalf.

ORDER
The Court, having received, read, and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its Order. It is hereby ORDERED that the presently set May 16, 2019 status conference hearing shall be continued to June 6, 2019, at 9:30 a.m.
Based on the representations of the parties in their stipulation, the Court finds that: (1) the failure to grant this requested continuance would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence; and (2) the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
The Court hereby orders that for the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which the trial of this case must commence, the time period from the date of this stipulation, May 16, 2019, up to and including the June 6, 2019 status conference hearing, shall be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and B(iv) and Local Code T4 to allow defense counsel reasonable time necessary to prepare.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
