STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE, AND TO EXCLUDE TIME PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.
STIPULATION
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and through his counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for status on February 19, 2015.
2. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to continue the status conference until March 26, 2015, and to exclude time between February 19, 2015, and March 26, 2015, under Local Code T4. Plaintiff does not oppose this request.
3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a. The Government has represented that the discovery associated with this case includes approximately 3, 850 pages. Additionally, over 7, 000 pages of discovery has been provided by the Government in two related cases (U.S. v. Mysin, et al. (Case No. 2:11-CR-00427-LKK) and U.S. v. Beknazarov, et al. (Case No. 2:12-CR-00051-MCE)), and Mr. Hansen needs time to review that discovery, as well.
b. The parties need additional time within which to negotiate a plea agreement.
c. Counsel for defendant believes that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny him the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
d. The Government does not object to the continuance.
e. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.
f. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. section 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of February 19, 2015, to March 26, 2015, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) [Local Code T4] because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at defendant's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
4. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must commence.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
