ORDER
WILLIAM B. SHUBB UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court heard from Defendant Mario Gonzalez, counsel for the defendant, and counsel for the government at a status conference held in this case on June 6, 2022. At that hearing, the defendant requested to continue the status conference in this case until July 11, 202, and the defendant moved to exclude time through that date under Local Code T4. Specifically: The defendant needed additional time to conduct investigation concerning his case, to review additional discovery, and to resolve certain discovery issues. Based on this information, the Court found that it would exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to Local Code T4. See Dkt. No. 91.
Based on this hearing, and for the additional reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court finds that the interests of justice are best served by continuing the status conference to July 11, 2022, and excluding time through that date, and that those interests outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the defendant's motion to exclude time is GRANTED; and
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that time shall be excluded from the speedy trial time calculations from June 6, 2022 through July 11, 2022 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) and Local Code T4.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
