DEFENDANT'S STIPULATION FOR CONTINUANCE OF STATUS CONFERENCE; AND ORDER
STIPULATION
Plaintiff, United States of America, by and through its counsel, Michael Anderson and defendant William Lavy, by and through his counsel, David D. Fischer, agree and stipulate to vacate the date set for status conference, September 6, 2011 at 9:30 a.m., in the courtroom of the Honorable John A. Mendez. The parties agree that the case may be set for further status conference on October 11, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. This stipulation has been reached because defense is still conducting investigation in this case and because the defendant is still recovering from surgery that took place on June 22, 2011.
The Government concurs with this request.
The parties further agree and stipulate that the time period from the filing of this stipulation until October 11, 2011, should be excluded in computing time for commencement of trial under the Speedy Trial Act, based upon the interest of justice under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) and Local Code T4, to allow continuity of counsel and to allow reasonable time necessary for effective defense preparation. It is further agreed and stipulated that the ends of justice served in granting the request outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request the Court adopt this proposed stipulation.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
