RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.
This case is next on the Court's calendar for March 27, 2018 for a change of plea hearing. The parties are in discussion regarding a possible resolution in this case and require the additional time of one week. The parties agree and jointly request for the case to be put over to April 3, 2018 for either a change of plea hearing or trial setting date. The parties agree and jointly request that the time between March 27, 2018 and April 3, 2018 be excluded in order to provide reasonable time necessary for the effective preparation of counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The parties agree that the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
For the reasons stated above, the Court continues the case from March 27, 2018 to April 3, 2018 and finds that the exclusion of time from March 26, 2018 to April 3, 2018 is warranted and that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The failure to grant the requested continuance would deny effective preparation of counsel, and would result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
