STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS
CONFERENCE HEARING; ORDER OF
DENIAL
Dated: May 20, 2013
Judge: Hon. Lawrence J. O'Neill
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 May 13, 2013, may be continued to May 20, 2013, 8:30 a.m.
Defendant is housed in Lerdo, defense counsel would like to review recently-filed declarations with the Defendant, and due to bus space availability defense counsel could not schedule an attorney interview prior to 5/13/13, the date for the currently-scheduled status conference. The requested continuance will conserve time and resources for both counsel and the court. Assistant United States Attorney Kathleen Servatius 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.

United States Attorney
