STIPULATION AND ORDER TO VACATE THE TRIAL CONFIRMATION HEARING AND JURY TRIAL AND TO SET A CHANGE OF PLEA
Date: March 21, 2013
Judge: CAROLYN K. DELANEY
The United States Attorney through his respective counsel, ASHWIN JANAKIRAM, Special Assistant United States Attorney, and LINDA C. HARTER, Attorney for TARUS STARKS, and Certified Student Attorney, JAMES P. ROBERTS, hereby stipulate to vacate the trial confirmation hearing set for January 24, 2013 at 9:30am and to vacate the jury trial scheduled for February 11, 2013 at 9:30am.
Accordingly, the parties jointly request that a change of plea be scheduled for March 21, 2013 at 9:30am before Magistrate Carolyn K. Delaney.
Time is to be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(b)(iv) (Local Rule T4) as the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Defense counsel needs additional time for preparation to resolve this matter without a trial.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH SCHLESINGER
Acting Federal Defender
