CASE, AND EXCLUDING TIME
DATE: September 29, 2011
TIME: 9:00 a.m.
JUDGE: Hon. Morrison C. England, Jr.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney Paul Hemesath, Counsel for Plaintiff, and Attorneys Clemente M. Jiménez and Julia Vera, Counsel for Defendant LEONEL FAVELA, that the status conference scheduled for September 29, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., be vacated and the matter continued to this Court's criminal calendar on October 20, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. for further status conference. Defense counsel has requested certain information from the government. Further, counsel seeks additional time to investigate the case and negotiate potential resolution.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 3161 et seq. be tolled pursuant to Section 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), (Local code T-4), and that the ends of justice served in granting the continuance and allowing the defendants further time to prepare outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial.

ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED, that the status conference in the above-entitled matter, scheduled for September 29, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., be vacated and the matter continued to October 20, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. for further status conference. The Court finds that time under the Speedy Trial Act shall be excluded through that date in order to afford counsel reasonable time to prepare. Based on the parties' representations, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants to a speedy trial.
