STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
AND EXCLUDE TIME
Date: March 26, 2013
Judge: Hon. John A. Mendez
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between plaintiff, United States of America, and defendant, Cem Kiyak, that the status conference scheduled for March 26, 2013, may be continued to May 14, 2013, at 9:45 a.m.
The defense continues its review of the evidence. Counsel has also retained an immigration expert for research and advice about the possible immigration consequences of various resolutions - a matter of considerable importance to the defense because the Kiyaks have a child with special needs. The expert is expected to continue her work through April. The parties agree that additional time is needed before the case may be resolved or further scheduled. They also agree that the interests of justice to be served by a continuance therefore outweigh the best interests of the parties in a speedy trial, so that time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from the date of this order through the status conference on May 14, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
Respectfully submitted,
BENJAMIN B. WAGNER
