STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE
STATUS CONFERENCE TO MARCH 7,
2013, AT 9:00 A.M.
Date: February 7, 2013
Judge: Hon. Morrison C. England
THE PARTIES STIPULATE, through counsel, William Wong, Assistant United States Attorney, and Michael Petrik, Jr., attorney for KENNETH LEE GAZELL, that the Court should vacate the status conference scheduled for February 7, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., and reset it for March 7, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.
Counsel for defendant requires further time to review discovery and to consult with Mr. Gazell. Counsel also requires the time to meet with government counsel regarding the case.
The parties further stipulate that the Court should exclude the period from the date of this order through March 7, 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 Mr. Gazell's request for a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and Mr. Gazell 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) (Local Code T4).
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH SCHLESINGER
