STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE
STATUS CONFERENCE TO JANUARY 31,
2013, AT 9:00 A.M.
Judge: Hon. Morrison C. England
THE PARTIES STIPULATE, through counsel, Jean Hobler, Assistant United States Attorney, and Michael Petrik, Jr., attorney for James Stewart Richards, that the Court should vacate the status conference scheduled for January 10, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., and reset it for January 31, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.
Counsel for defendant requires further time to review discovery and to consult with Mr. Richards. Counsel also requires more time to present mitigating evidence to the government during plea negotiations.
The parties further stipulate that the Court should exclude the period from the date of this order through January 31, 2013, when it computes the time within which the trial of the above criminal prosecution must commence for purposes of the Speedy Trial Act. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by granting Mr. Richards' request for a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and Mr. Richards in a speedy trial, and that this is an appropriate exclusion of time for defense preparation within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) (Local Code T4).
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL BRODERICK
Federal Defender

For the reasons stated above, the Court also finds that the ends of justice served by granting defendant's request for a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
