STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE AND ORDER THEREON
Judge: Hon. Anthony W. Ishii
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel, IAN GARRIQUES, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for plaintiff, and ERIC KERSTEN, Assistant Federal Defender, counsel for defendant Eliodoro Guzman-Arreguin, that the date for status conference in this matter may be continued to February 13, 2012, or the soonest date thereafter that is convenient to the court. The date currently set for status conference is January 30, 2012. The requested new date is February 13, 2012.
The parties are currently engaged in plea negotiations. This continuance is requested to allow additional time for negotiations to continue, and for Mr. Guzman-Arreguin to consider the anticipated revised plea offer.
The parties agree that the delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded as necessary for effective defense preparation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv). For this reason, the ends of justice served by the granting of the requested continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
