STIPULATION AND ORDER RE:

CONTINUANCE OF STATUS CONFERENCE

AND FINDINGS OF EXCLUDABLE TIME


DATE: April 11, 2013

JUDGE: Hon. Morrison C. England

ZACHARY M. JONES, by and through his counsel, DENNIS S. WAKS and the United States Government, by and through its counsel, MATTHEW G. MORRIS, Assistant United States Attorney, hereby agree that the status conference set for February 7, 2013, be continued for a status conference hearing on April 11, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.

This continuance is requested because counsel for the defendant requires additional time to obtain and review discovery, continue our investigation, and to interview our client and other witnesses.

Counsel and the defendant agree that the time from the date of this order through April 11, 2013, should be excluded in computing the time within which trial must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, §3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) and Local Code T4. [reasonable time to prepare].

The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

Respectfully submitted,

ORDER

Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Based on these findings and pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, the Court hereby adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. Time is excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced beginning from the date of the stipulation through and including April 11, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare] and Local Code T4. A new status conference date is hereby set for April 11, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.
