STIPULATION AND ORDER
CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE
AND EXCLUDING TIME
Judge: Hon. William B. Shubb
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendant, Reginald Bowers, through their respective attorneys, that the status conference scheduled for February 11, 2013, may be continued to March 18, 2013, at 9:30 a.m.
An agreement to resolve the criminal charge pending against Mr. Bowers is imminent but the proposals under discussion have yet to be finally reviewed or approved within the U.S. Attorney's Office. To afford time to complete their negotiations, the parties agree that time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded through March 18, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH SCHLESINGER
Acting Federal Defender

ORDER
The status conference is continued to March 18, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. For the reasons set forth above, the court finds that the ends of justice to be served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and therefore excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act through March 18, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
