Furthermore, for the reasons set forth in the parties' stipulation, the Court finds that the interests of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The Court further finds that the extension of time would not adversely affect the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal cases.
THEREFORE, FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN:
1. The date of the arraignment for defendant Efrain Valentin is extended to April 20, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. before Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney.
2. The time between April 13, 2023, and April 20, 2023, shall be excluded from calculation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
