STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS
CONFERENCE HEARING; ORDER
Date : May 13, 2013
Judge: Hon. Barbara A. McAuliffe
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, and through their respective attorneys of record herein, that the status conference hearing in the above-captioned matter now set for March 25, 2013, may be continued to May 13, 2013, 1:00 p.m.
The reason for the request for a continuance is defense counsel will be unavailable and not in the Fresno area at the time of the status conference due to a work-related matter. At the time the matter was set for a status conference, defense counsel was uncertain as to whether he would be needed outside of the Fresno area at the time set for the current status conference. The requested continuance will conserve time and resources for both counsel and the court. Assistant United States Attorney Kimberly Sanchez has no objection to this request.
The parties agree that time shall be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B) in that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, including, but not limited to, the need for the period of time set forth herein for effective defense preparation and continuing plea negotiation purposes.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
