UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CHRIS CINDY PENA, Defendant.
ORDER
PAUL G. GARDEPHE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The initial conference for Defendant Chris Cindy Pena, previously scheduled for August 31, 2021, is adjourned to September 9, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. The conference will proceed by telephone.
The parties are directed to dial 888-363-4749 to participate, and to enter the access code 6212642. The press and public may obtain access to the telephone conference by dialing the same number and using the same access code.
Upon the application of the Defendant, by and through her counsel, Martin Cohen, and with the consent of the United States of America, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Kaylan Lasky, the time from August 31, 2021 through September 9, 2021 is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), in the interests of justice. The ends of justice served by the granting of this continuance outweigh the interest of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial, because it will permit continuity of defense counsel.
SO ORDERED.
