Opinion
STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between defendant, Crystal Russo, through her attorney, Timothy Zindel, and plaintiff, United States of America, through its attorney, Daniel S. McConkie, that the status conference as to defendant Russo, scheduled for February 7, 2013, may be continued to March 14, 2013, at 9:00 a.m.
Ms. Russo and counsel have reviewed additional audio recordings the government provided in discovery since the last status conference. The defense has additional follow-up investigation but counsel intend to meet and confer later this week about resolving the case. In order to complete these tasks, the parties agree that the ends of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded through March 14, 2013, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(g) and (h)(7)(a) and (b)(IV).
ORDER
The status conference is continued to March 14, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, for the reasons stated above.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
