STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE
STATUS HEARING AND TO EXCLUDE TIME
PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
Date: March 12, 2013
Judge: Lawrence K. Karlton
It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United States of America through JASON HITT, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and defendant, CARLOS ARMENDARIZ, by and through his counsel, LEXI NEGIN, Assistant Federal Defender, that the status conference set for Tuesday, January 8, 2013be continued to Tuesday, March 12, 2013, at 9:15 a.m.
The reason for this continuance is because additional time is needed for defense preparation and for meetings between the parties with the goal being to resolve the case by way of a disposition.
It is further stipulated that the time period from the date of this stipulation, January 3, 2013, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, March 12, 2013, shall be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act (18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) &(B)(iv) and Local Code T4, due to the need to provide defense counsel with the reasonable time to prepare, and that the ends of justice to be served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Respectfully submitted, BENJAMIN B. WAGNER

ORDER
Based on the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties filed on January 3, 2013, and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the status conference currently scheduled for Tuesday, January 3, 2013 be vacated and that the case be set for Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 9:15 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, for the reasons stated in the parties' January 3, 2013 stipulation, the time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded during the time period from the date of this stipulation, through and including March 12, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A)&(B)(iv) [reasonable time to prepare] and Local Code T4.
