JOHN MICHAEL VAZQUEZ, District Judge.

This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Credg Carpenito, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (by J. Stephen Ferketic, Assistant United States Attorney), and defendant Vemon Jordan (by Linda Foster, Esq.), for an order granting a continuance of proceedings in the above-captioned matter, from the date this order is signed through and including December 31, 2018, to permit the parties and the Court the reasonable time necesssuy to prepsire for sentencing; and the defendant being aware that he has the right to proceed to trial within 120 days of his cirrivad in the receiving State (the District of New Jersey) under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act("LADA"); and two prior continuances having been entered; and the defendant, through his attorney, having consented to the continuance in open court; and the United States having no opposition; and for good and sufficient cause shown:

IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:

(1) The failure to grant a continusince would deny counsel for the defendant and counsel for the Government the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation for sentencing, taking into account the exercise of due diligence;

(2) The grant of a continuance will likely conserve judicial resources; and

(3) The defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance.

IT IS, therefore, on the 18th day of September, 2018;

ORDERED that this action be, and it hereby is, continued from the date this Order is signed through Decemer 31, 2018.
