Opinion
BENJAMIN B. WAGNER, United States Attorney, MATTHEW SEGAL, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Attorney for Plaintiff.
KYLE R. KNAPP (SBN 166597), ATTORNEY AT LAW, Sacramento, CA, Attorney for Defendant MATTHEW ROBERTS.
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING CASE AND EXCLUDING TIME
GARLAND E. BURRELL, Senior District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY stipulated between the United States of America through its undersigned counsel, Matthew Segal, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for plaintiff, together with Kyle Knapp, attorney for defendant MATTHEW ROBERTS that the previously-scheduled status conference, currently set for December 6, 2013, be vacated and that the matter be set for status conference on December 20, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
This continuance is requested to allow defense counsel additional time to further review the discovery, analyze the forensic evidence and the loss amounts in this matter. Also, there have been significant plea negotiations underway that hopefully will work a resolution by the next court date.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the ends of justice served by the granting of such a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act should therefore be excluded under 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7)(B) (iv), corresponding to Local Code T-4 (to allow defense counsel time to prepare) from the date of the parties' stipulation, December 5, 2013, 2013 up to and including December 20, 2013.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
ORDER
The Stipulation of the parties is hereby accepted and the requested continuance is GRANTED. This matter shall be dropped from this court's December 6, 2013 criminal calendar and re-calendared for status conference on December 20, 2013.
Based on the representations of the parties the court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is excluded from the time of the filing of this stipulation on December 5, 2013 through and including December 20, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
