STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING
STATUS CONFERENCE
COURT: Hon. Morrison C. England
Stipulation
The government and defendant NARCO MCFARLAND, through undersigned counsel, stipulate that the status conference, scheduled for February 28, 2013, may be continued to April 11, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. This case involves thousands of recorded wiretap calls and voluminous discovery. As such, the additional time requested in this stipulation is necessary so the defense counsel can continue review of the discovery and conduct investigation.
Further, both parties agree and stipulate that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. As such, the parties agree that time may be excluded from the speedy trial calculation under the Speedy Trial Act for counsel preparation, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) and Local Code T4.
The prosecutor has authorized the defense counsel for Latroy Cunningham to sign this stipulation on his behalf.
