STIPULATION TO (1) VACATE BOND HEARING AS MOOT, (2) SET FIRST APPEARANCE DATE BEFORE THE DISTRICT COURT, AND (3) EXCLUDE TIME

HOWARD R. LLOYD, Magistrate Judge.

On December 9, 2014, the parties appeared before The Honorable Howard R. Lloyd, United States Magistrate Judge, for the defendant's arraignment and to consider possible release conditions. The parties jointly proposed a bond of $300,000, to be co-signed by two responsible sureties in addition to the defendant, with $50,000 to be secured by real property. The Court scheduled a further bond hearing for January 8, 2015, with the understanding that this date would be vacated if the bond conditions were met and the defendant released. The conditions were satisfied and the Court ordered the defendant to be released on December 23, 2014.

The parties jointly request that the matter be placed on calendar before The Honorable Beth Freeman, United States District Judge, on February 3, 2015, at 9:00 a.m., for a status conference. The defendant, who lives in Boston, and her counsel, who is in New York, require additional time to review the discovery and to arrange for travel to California. Accordingly, the parties agree that the time between January 8 and February 3, 2015, should be excluded from the Speedy Trial Clock on the following statutory grounds: (1) 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) (ends of justice served outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial), and (2) 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) (failure to grant the requested continuance would deny the defendant reasonable time necessary for effective preparation).

ORDER

At the request of the parties, and good cause appearing therefor,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. The further bond hearing scheduled for January 8, 2015, at 1:30 p.m. is VACATED;

2. This matter shall be placed on calendar before The Honorable Beth Freeman, United States District Judge, on February 3, 2015, at 9:00 a.m., for a status conference. The defendant is ordered to be present.

3. For the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties, the Court finds that the time between January 8 and February 3, 2015, should be excluded from the Speedy Trial Clock on the following statutory grounds: (1) 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) (ends of justice served outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial), and (2) 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) (failure to grant the requested continuance would deny the defendant reasonable time necessary for effective preparation).
