WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.
The Government and Mr. Reeves have engaged in, and continue to engage in, substantial pleas discussions and are likely to resolve this matter by way of a change of plea. However, there is still on-going defense investigation. The parties jointly request that the Court VACATE the currently-scheduled November 14, 2013 appearance as to defendant Reeves and re-set the matter for a change of plea hearing on December 5, 2013, at 1:30 p.m., before Your Honor.
In light of the foregoing, the parties jointly stipulate that time should be excluded from November 14, 2013 until December 5, 2013. The parties further represent that granting the continuance is for the reasonable time necessary for the effective preparation of defense counsel, taking into consideration the exercise of due diligence.
Furthermore, the parties agree that the ends of justice served by granting such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant Reeves' in a speedy trial.
This stipulation does not intend to any currently set dates for the co-defendant, Nicholas Liegl.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the November 14, 2013 change of plea hearing for defendant Terrance Reeves be VACATED and re-set for change of plea on December 5, 2013, at 1:30 p.m., and that time is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act from November 14, 2013 until December 5, 2013, under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(B)(iv) and 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
