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 Fabiana Pierre-Louis, Assistant U.S. Attorney), and defendant Gershon Clark (by Edward c. Bertucio, Esq., attorney for defendant), for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above - captioned matter for a period of 60 days; and three continuance having previously been granted by the Court pursuant to Title 18, United states Code, Section 3161 (h) (7) (A); and the defendant being aware that he has the right to have the matter submitted to a grand jury within 30 days of the date of his arrest pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(b); and as the defendant has consented to such a continuance for a period of 60 days, and for good and sufficient cause shown,
IT IS THE FINDING OP THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:
1. Plea negotiations are currently in progress, and the United States and defendant desire additional time to negotiate a plea agreement, which would thereby render trial of this matter unnecessary; and
2. Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(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,
WHEREFORE, it is on this 8th day of January 2013,
ORDERED that the proceedings scheduled in the above-captioned matter are continued for a period of 60 days from January 3, 2013 through and including March 3, 2013;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the period from January 3, 2013 through and including March 3, 2013 shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974,
