STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS
CONFERENCE AND ORDER THEREON
REQUEST DENIED: TRIAL SETTING SET
Date: May 20, 2013
Judge: Hon. Sheila K. Oberto
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel, MIA A. GIACOMAZZI, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for plaintiff, and JEROME PRICE, Assistant Federal Defender, counsel for defendant Roman M. Duran-Alvarado, that the date for status conference in this matter may be continued to May 20, 2013, or the soonest date thereafter that is convenient to the court. The date currently set for status conference is May 13, 2013, before the Honorable Lawrence J. O'Neill. The requested new date is May 20, 2013, before the Honorable Sheila K. Oberto.
The reason for this continuance is that we anticipate Mr. Duran-Alvarado will not change his plea. The requested continuance is with the intention of conserving time and resources for both parties and the court.
The parties agree that the delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded as necessary for effective defense preparation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv). For this reason, the ends of justice served by the granting of the requested continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
