Date: February 7, 2012
Time: 9:15 a.m.
Judge: Hon. Lawrence K. Karlton
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel, MICHELE BECKWITH, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and COURTNEY FEIN, attorney for OSCAR GONZALEZ-OSNAYA, that the status conference hearing date of January 24, 2012, be vacated, and the matter be set for status conference/change of plea on February 7, 2012, at 9:15 a.m.
The reason for the continuance is the government's counsel will be engaged in trial on the currently scheduled date.
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 January 3, 2012 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.
Respectfully submitted,

ORDER
UPON GOOD CAUSE SHOWN and the stipulation of all parties, it is ordered that the January 24, 2012, status conference hearing be continued to February7, 2012 at 9:15 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 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 February 7, 2012 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.
