RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.
The parties appeared before the Honorable Richard Seeborg for a status conference on April 17, 2018. The government is continuing to produce discovery to defendant. Counsel for defendant Franco is reviewing the discovery, and needs additional time to assess the case. At the parties' request, the Court set the matter for change of plea on June 26, 2018 at 2:30 p.m. The parties stipulated, and the Court ordered, that time between April 17, 2018 and June 26, 2018, be excluded for effective preparation of counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
The parties further stipulate, and ask the Court to find, that the requested continuance and exclusion of time are in the interests of justice and outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
SO STIPULATED.
For the reasons stated, this matter is continued until June 26, 2018, at 2:30 p.m. The time between April 17, 2018 and June 26, 2018, is excluded from the running of the speedy trial clock for effective preparation of counsel under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). Failure to grant the continuance would deny the defendants' counsel the reasonable time necessary to prepare, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
