ORDER TO
CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, it is hereby ordered that the September 12, 2011 Status Conference be continued to October 3, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. I find that the ends of justice warrant an exclusion of time and that the defendant's need for continuity of counsel and reasonable time for effective preparation exceeds the public interest in a trial within 70 days. THEREFORE IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that time be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h) (7) (B) (iv) from the date of this order to October 3, 2011. IT IS SO ORDERED.
