CONTINUANCE ORDER
This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (by Michael Martinez and Zach Intrater, Assistant U.S. Attorney), and defendant Andrew Auernheimer (by Tor Ekeland, Esq.) for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter to pursue plea negotiations, and the defendant being aware that he has the right to have the matter brought to trial within 70 days of the date of his appearance before a judicial officer of this court pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(c)(1), and as the defendant has consented to such a continuance, and two continuances having been previously granted, and for good and sufficient cause shown,
IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:
1. The parties are preparing for trial in this matter, and are reviewing documents and preparing witnesses;
2. The grant of a continuance will likely conserve judicial resources;
3. Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS, therefore, on this __ day of June, 2012,
ORDERED that this action be, and it hereby is, continued from the date of this Order through and including October 1, 2012; and it is further
ORDERED that a trial schedule shall be set by the Court; and it is further
ORDERED that the period from the date of this Order through and including October 1, 2012, shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7).
