ORDER
Based on the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties filed on April 18, 2013, and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the status conference currently scheduled for Friday, April 19, 2013, be vacated and that the case be set for Thursday, May 9, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, for the reasons stated in the parties' April 18, 2013, stipulation, the time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded during the time period from April 16, 2013, through and including May 9, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A)&(B)(iv) [reasonable time to prepare] and Local Code T4.
