STIPULATION RE: CONTINUANCE AND ORDER
Defendants in the above-captioned matter, by and through their respective attorneys, and the United States of America, by and through its attorneys, BENJAMIN B. WAGNER, United States Attorney, and KAREN A. ESCOBAR, Assistant United States Attorney, hereby enter into the following stipulation:
1. The parties to the above-captioned matter agree to vacate the January 23, 2012, hearing date and reset the matter for February 13, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.
This is the earliest available date and time for all parties.
2. The parties stipulate that the continuance is necessitated by the parties need to conduct further investigation, continue plea negotiations and effectively communicate the government's offers to defendants, who are housed at Lerdo.
3. The parties stipulate that time is excludable under the Speedy Trial Act and that the ends of justice served by granting the requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, in that the failure to grant the continuance would deny the parties' sufficient opportunity to conduct further investigation and/or resolve the matter.
Respectfully submitted,
