STIPULATED ORDER RESCHEDULING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

WILLIAM H. ALSUP, District Judge.

The parties are scheduled to appear before this Court on January 22, 2013, for status. In a Stipulated Order filed November 28, 2012 (Docket 55) and a separate Status Statement filed under seal, the parties advised the Court of a medical issue affecting Defendant Lawrence Goldfarb. Mr. Goldfarb's medical issue persists and it is recommended that he not attend the scheduled status conference on January 22, 2013. In addition, due to the medical issue, the parties have not able to conduct a settlement conference, which the parties had intended to conduct prior to the status conference, as ordered by the Court. The parties are informed that the medical issue shall be resolved within 60 days, at which time Mr. Goldfarb will be available for this case to proceed.

In light of Mr. Goldfarb's medical issue, the parties respectfully request that the Court reschedule the January 22, 2013 status conference to March 26, 2013 at 2:00 p.m., so as to allow the medical issue to be resolved and to allow the parties to conduct the settlement conference prior to the next status conference.

Further, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B)(ii) and (iv), the parties ask the Court to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act from January 8, 2013, to March 26, 2013, due to the complexity of the case and to allow for adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings and due to Mr. Godlfarb's medical issue.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
