STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE THE STATUS CONFERENCE

PARTIES TO THE LITIGATION
The parties to this litigation, the Unites States of America, represented by Assistant United States Attorney, Michael Damien McCoy, Assistant U.S. Attorney and the defendant Mario Nunez, SR., through his attorney, Ron Peters, hereby agree and stipulate that the current date for the status conference in this case, Tuesday, August 6, 2013, is hereby vacated and can be rescheduled for Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at 9:45 a.m. in Courtroom #6, before the Honorable District Court Judge, John A. Mendez.
Defense counsel will meet with Mr. Nunez and an interpreter to finalize the plea agreement.
ORDER
The Court, having considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. Based on the stipulation of the parties, the Court finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and defendant continuity of counsel. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and that the time from the date of the stipulation, August 6, 2013, to and including August 13, 2013.
It is so ordered.
