The United States of America, through its counsels of record, Benjamin B.

Defendant's attorney requires additional time to consult with the defendant regarding sentencing recommendations and the Memorandum in Aide of Sentencing that has been submitted to the court.
Parties agree that time should be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), and Local Code T-4 - reasonable time to prepare and for continuity of counsel. The parties agree that time be excluded under this provision November 12, 2015 to and including December 3, 2015.
/s/ Jason HittORDER
The Court, having considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. Based on the stipulation of the parties, the Court finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and defendant continuity of counsel. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and that the time from the date of the stipulation, November 12, 2015, to and including December 3, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
