STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE AND PROPOSED ORDER
PLACE: Courtroom Two
Honorable
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their respective counsel, that the current status conference set for January 23, 2012, at 9:00 a.m., be continued to March 26, 2012, at 1:30 p.m., before the Honorable , United States District Court Judge.
The parties further stipulate and agree that the time between January 23, 2012, and March 26, 2012 be excluded from the calculation of time under the Speedy Trial Act. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice are served by the Court excluding such time, so that counsel for the defendant may have time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). Specifically, plea offers have been provided and plea negotiations continue to be ongoing. Additionally, counsel for defendant Huang is getting ready to start a four week trial and the preparation has been particularly time consuming. The parties are requesting an afternoon setting because defense counsel are traveling from San Diego, Modesto, and the Bay Area. The parties stipulate and agree that the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A).
