STIPULATION AND ORDER
CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE
AND EXCLUDING TIME
DATE: April 23, 2013
JUDGE: Hon. Lawrence K. Karlton
It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United States of America through TODD LERAS, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and defendant OSCAR GOMEZ GORIBALDO by and through his counsel, BENJAMIN GALLOWAY, Assistant Federal Defender and defendant EVARISTO ARREOLA-VENTURA, by and through his attorney, DINA L. SANTOS, that the status conference set for Tuesday, March 26, 2013, be continued to Tuesday, April 23, 2013, at 9:15 a.m., for status conference.
The reason for this continuance is to allow defense counsel additional time to review discovery with the defendant, to examine possible defenses and to continue investigating the facts of the case.
It is further stipulated that the time period from the date of this stipulation, through and including the date of the new status conference, April 23, 2013, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv)and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare], and that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH SCHLESINGER
Acting Federal Defender

ORDER
Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. It is hereby ordered that the presently set March 26, 2013, status conference shall be continued to April 23, 2013, at 9:15 a.m. It is further ordered that the time period from the date of the parties' stipulation, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, April 23, 2013, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv) and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare].
Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
