This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Paul J.

IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued from January 30,2013 through June 10, 2013 for the following reasons:

2. Defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance.
3. The grant of a continuance will likely conserve judicial resources.
4. Pursuant to file 18 of the United States Code. Section 316l(h)(7)(A). the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial.
