STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER; CONTINUING STATUS
CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME
Date: November 4, 2011
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Judge: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel, JASON HITT, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and COURTNEY FEIN, attorney for SOURAPHA CHANHKHIAO, that the status conference hearing date of September 30, 2011, be vacated and the matter be set for status conference on November 4, 2011, at 9:00 a.m.
The reason for this continuance is to allow defense counsel additional time to review the discovery, consult with her client, examine possible defenses, and continue investigating the facts of the case. Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree that the time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from the date of signing of this order through and including November 4, 2011, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A)and (B)(iv)[reasonable time to prepare] and Local Code T4 based upon continuity of counsel and defense preparation.
Respectfully submitted,

ORDER
UPON GOOD CAUSE SHOWN and the stipulation of all parties, it is ordered that the September 30, 2011, status conference hearing be continued to November 4, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. Based on the representation of defense counsel and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. It is ordered that time up to and including the November 4, 2011 status conference shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code T-4, to allow defense counsel reasonable time to prepare.
