STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING
STATUS CONFERENCE TO MARCH 12,
2013, AT 9:15 A.M.
Date: March 7, 2013
Judge: Lawrence K. Karlton
THE PARTIES STIPULATE, through their respective attorneys, that the Court should vacate the status conference scheduled for March 7, 2013, at 10:00 a.m., and reset this case for guilty plea and sentencing on March 12, 2013, at 9:15 a.m.
Counsel for defendant requires further time to review the plea agreement with his client, and to confer.
The parties further stipulate that the Court should exclude the period from the date of this order through March 12, 2013, when it computes the time within which the trial of the above criminal prosecution must commence for purposes of the Speedy Trial Act. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by granting defendant's request for a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, and that this is an appropriate exclusion of time for defense preparation within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) [reasonable time to prepare] and Local Code T4.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH SCHLESINGER
