HON. ROBERT H. CLELAND
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO WITHDRAW
AS COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT
A hearing was held on June 6, 2012 on the "Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for the Defendant" [Dkt #11] by attorney Rafael Villarruel. For the reasons stated on the record by counsel, the defendant and this court, the court will grant the motion. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the motion to withdraw is GRANTED and the Federal Defender's Office is directed to assign an attorney from the CJA Panel to be appointed and substituted to represent Defendant.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the time period from June 6, 2012 to July 6, 2012 shall be excludable from time calculation mandated by the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(H)(7)(A)(B) and 18 U.S.C. § 3161(H)(7)(B)(iv), and that the ends of justice served by this delay outweigh the public's and the defendant's interest in a speedy trial. Upon the filing of the appearance of new counsel, the court will schedule a status conference to set new dates.
