STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME
Judge: Hon. John A. Mendez
It is hereby stipulated and agreed between defendant, Justin Jackson, and plaintiff, United States of America, by and through their attorneys, that the status conference presently scheduled for January 10, 2011, may be continued to February 28, 2012, at 9:30 a.m.
Mr. Jackson was arraigned last month on an indictment alleging offenses occurring in 2009. While the government provided discovery at the end of December, the underlying investigation was lengthy (lasting over two years) and its results complicated. Accordingly, defense counsel seeks additional time to review the discovery and to discuss it with Mr. Jackson, who is in custody. Counsel is uncertain at this time whether defense investigation or pretrial motions are necessary, but hopes to answer those questions over the next two months.
So that the defense may have adequate time to complete its review, the parties agree that the interests of justice outweigh the best interests of the public and Mr. Jackson in a speedy trial, and ask the Court to exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act from the date of this order through February 28, 2012, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
Respectfully Submitted,
DANIEL J. BRODERICK

ORDER
The status conference is continued to February 28, 2012, at 9:30 a.m. The court finds that a continuance is necessary for the reasons stated above and further finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Time is therefore excluded from the date of this order through February 28, 2012, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
