AND ORDER

This continuance is at the request of the parties to allow additional time for negotiation and investigation. The requested continuance will conserve time for both counsel and the court.

ORDER
The parties' stipulated request for a continuance of the status conference to June 17, 2013, to allow the parties additional time to achieve a mutually agreeable resolution of this matter is GRANTED. The delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded because the ends of justice served in granting such a continuance outweigh the interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.
Should the parties resolve the case, they shall inform the court so the matter can be reset as a change of plea hearing before United States District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill on June 17, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. If the parties are unable to resolve this matter, the parties shall be prepared to select a trial date at the next status conference. IT IS SO ORDERED.
