UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. ALVARO MAURICIO BARAHONA LOPEZ, Defendant.


BARRY J. PORTMAN

Federal Public Defender

ELLEN V. LEONIDA

Assistant Federal Public Defender

Counsel for Defendant

ALVARO MAURICIO BARAHONA LOPEZ

ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE OF

STATUS HEARING AND EXCLUSION

OF TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL

ACT, 18 U.S.C. SECTIONS

3161(H)(1)(G); 3161(H)(7)(A); &

3161(H)(B)(iv)

ORDER

GOOD CAUSE HAVING BEEN SHOWN in the stipulation of the parties above, the court hereby orders that the change of plea and sentencing hearing set for December 15, 2011 at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Saundra Brown Armstrong, be vacated and reset for February 2, 2012 at 10:00 a.m..

Based upon the representation of counsel and for good cause shown, the Court finds that failing to exclude the time between December 15, 2011 and February 2, 2012 would unreasonably deny the defendant continuity of counsel. Additional time is thus needed for continuity of counsel. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A); 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). Additionally, the Court is presently considering a proposed plea agreement to be entered into by the defendant and the government. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(G). The Court further finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of the continuance from December 15, 2011 until February 2, 2012 outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy and public trial .

Based on these findings, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the time between December 15, 2011 and February 2, 2012 be excluded under the speedy trial act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(1)(G), 3161(h)(7)(A); and 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
