It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United States of America through TODD LERAS, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and defendant, ULAND LEFRANK COLON, by and through his counsel, MATTHEW M. SCOBLE, Assistant Federal Defender, that the status conference set for Tuesday, October 13, 2011, be continued to Tuesday, December 6, 2011, at 9:15 a.m..

It is further stipulated that the time period from the date of this stipulation, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, December 6, 2011, 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)& (B)(iv)and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare].

ORDER
Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. It is hereby ordered that the presently set October 18, 2011, status conference shall be continued to December 6, 2011, at 9:15 a.m. It is further ordered that the time period from the date of the parties' stipulation, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, December 6, 2011, 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)&(B)(iv) and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare].
Based on the stipulation of the parties 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 for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
