Hon. Faith S. Hochberg
CONTINUANCE ORDER
This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Evan Weitz, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendant Shawquore Holloway (Peter Carter, Esq., appearing), for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter through and including August 20, 2012, and the defendant being aware that he has the right to have the matter brought to trial within 70 days of the date of his appearance before a judicial officer of this court pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(c)(1), and as the defendant has consented to such a continuance, and for good and sufficient cause shown,
IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:
1. Plea negotiations are currently in progress, and both the United States and the defendant desire additional time to finalize a plea agreement, which would render trial of this matter unnecessary;
2. The defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance;
3. Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(h)(8), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
WHEREFORE, on this 30th day of June, 2012,
IT IS ORDERED that this action be, and hereby is, continued through and including August 20, 2012; and it is further
ORDERED that the period from and including June 19, 2012, through and including August 20, 2012, shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(8); and it is further.
