STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO SET STATUS CONFERENCE ON MARCH 14, 2013
KANDIS A. WESTMORE, Magistrate Judge.
The defendant, JOHN LEE COBB, represented by Joyce Leavitt, Esquire, and the government, represented by RODNEY VILLAZOR, Assistant United States Attorney, appeared before the Court on February 22, 2013 for a bail hearing and arraignment. The parties represented that discovery had been produced to the defendant, and the Court set the matter for a status conference before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on March 14, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Both counsel requested that time be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act between February 22, 2013 and March 14, 2013 because defense counsel needs the time to review discovery and conduct her own investigation.
Based upon the representation of counsel and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time between February 22, 2013 and March 14, 2013 would unreasonably deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The Court further finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the time between February 22, 2013 and March 14, 2013 from computation under the Speedy Trial Act outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time between February 22, 2013 and March 14, 2013 shall be excluded from computation under the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
ORDER
Based on the reason provided in the stipulation of the parties above, the Court hereby FINDS that for adequate preparation of the case by all parties, and in the interest of justice, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), an exclusion of time is warranted under the Speedy Trial Act. Based on these findings, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the hearing is continued until March 14, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. before U.S. District Judge Gonzalez Rogers, and time is excluded until March 14, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
