STIPULATION AND ORDER VACATING
DATE, CONTINUING CASE, AND
EXCLUDING TIME
Date: May 21, 2013
Judge: Hon. Mendez
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney Todd Leras, Counsel for Plaintiff, and Attorney Dina L. Santos, Counsel for Defendant Jose Miguel Cruz-Salcido, that the status conference scheduled for April 23, 2013, be vacated and the matter be continued to this Court's criminal calendar on May 21, 2013 at 9:45 a.m, for further status/possible change of plea.
This continuance is requested by both parties to allow the defense to continue in negotiations with the government, continue the review of discovery, and to conduct investigation necessary for Mr. Cruz-Salcido's defense.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et. seq. be tolled pursuant to § 3161(h)(7)(A) & (B)(iv), Local code T-4 (time to prepare), and that the ends of justice served in granting the continuance and allowing the defendant further time to prepare outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
The Court is advised that all counsel have conferred about this request, that they have agreed to the May 21, 2013 date, and that Mr. Leras has authorized Ms. Santos to sign this stipulation on his behalf.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
