YVONNE GONZALEZ ROGERS, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties to this action, that the status date in this case with respect to Jesse Yang, currently scheduled for Thursday, February 14, 2013, at 2:00 p.m. before Honorable Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, may be continued to Thursday, March 7, 2013, 2013, at 2:00 p.m. for status. The reason for the request is that the status date was originally scheduled for February 7, 2013, at 2:00 but was re-set to February 14, 2013 due to the unavailability of the Court. Unfortunately, defense counsel is unavailable on February 14, 2013. In addition, counsel for Mr. Yang recently received computer discovery which was copied by the government onto hard drives provided to it by defense counsel. Counsel for Mr. Yang provided the computer discovery to it's own expert within the last couple of weeks and their review is ongoing. A continuance to March 7, 2013, will enable the defense expert to continue with it's review of the computer data and the additional time may provide for a more informative status appearance. The parties therefore stipulate that the time from February 7, 2013, to March 7, 2013, should be excluded in accordance with the provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(b), (h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) for continuity of counsel and adequate preparation of counsel so that defense counsel can be present at the appearance and the expert can continue with its review of the computer discovery.
I hereby attest that I have permission of the parties to enter a conformed signature (/s/) for all signatures within this e-filed document.
GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the status date for Jesse Yang, currently scheduled for Thursday, February 14, 2013, at 2:00 p.m. before Honorable Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, is hereby continued to Thursday, March 7, 2013, at 2:00 p.m. for status.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the time from February 7, 2013, to March 7, 2013, is excluded in accordance with the provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(b), (h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) for continuity of counsel and adequate preparation of counsel so that defense counsel can be present at the time of the hearing and the expert for Mr. Yang can continue with it's review and examination of the computer discovery.
The Court finds that there is good cause and that the ends of justice served by the granting of the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy and public trial and the failure to grant the requested continuance would unreasonably deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account due diligence.
SO ORDERED.
