STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
AND EXCLUDE TIME
Date: February 19, 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 February 19, 2013, may be continued to March 26, 2013, at 9:45 a.m.
The defense met with Customs two weeks ago to review additional seized paperwork; that review raised additional questions, which the parties are reviewing. Additional time is needed to answer these questions before the case may be resolved or further scheduled. The parties agree that additional time is needed to review and resolve the case and 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 March 26, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
Respectfully submitted,
BENJAMIN B. WAGNER
United States Attorney
T. Zindel for T. Pickles

Assistant U.S. Attorney
