STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE
GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney Jared Dolan, counsel for Plaintiff, and Jeffrey L. Staniels, court appointed attorney for Defendant Simeon Gregory and Steven B. Plesser, Attorney for Terrance Smalls, that the above case be vacated from this court's December 13, 2013, calendar, and that it be continued until January 24, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. for status conference.
The court is advised that material progress has been made in reaching a non-trial disposition in the case as it pertains to Ms. Gregory. Current discussions are focused on specific sentencing related terms. Counsel for Mr. Smalls joins this request in order to continue his defense preparation.
The court is requested to find that this continuance is reasonable, that the interests of justice served by granting it outweigh the interests of the defendants and of the public in a speedy trial, and that time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(b)(iv), Local Code T-4.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
ORDER

It is so ordered.
