EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.
With the agreement of the parties, and with the consent of defendant Vicente Cruz, the Court enters this order confirming the exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b), from September 27, 2017 to November 15, 2017. The parties agree, and the Court finds and holds, as follows:
1. Mr. Cruz agrees to an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv) to provide reasonable time necessary for continuity of counsel and effective preparation of defense counsel, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
2. The Court finds that, taking into the account the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases, these grounds are good cause for excluding time. Given these circumstances, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by excluding the period from September 27, 2017 through and including November 15, 2017, outweigh the best interest of the public and Mr. Cruz in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A).
3. Accordingly, and with the consent of Mr. Cruz the Court: orders that the period from September 27, 2017 through and including November 15, 2017, be excluded from the Speedy Trial Act calculations under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A).
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
