UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CARLOS MENDEZ-BARTOLON, Defendant.
ORDER CONTINUING MOTION HEARING/TRIAL SETTING
Jinsook Ohta, Judge.
On December 7, 2022, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Continue the Motion Hearing/Trial Setting currently set for December 9, 2022, to January 20, 2023. For good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS the joint motion to continue [Dkt. 17] and sets the Motion Hearing/Trial Setting on January 20, 2023, at 10:30 a.m.
For the reasons set forth in the joint motion, the Court finds that the ends of justice will be served by granting the requested continuance, and these outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. A change of plea hearing and immediate sentencing on a misdemeanor charge is set for December 13, 2022 before Magistrate Judge Karen S. Crawford.
Accordingly, the Court finds that time from December 9, 2022, to January 20, 2023, shall be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(G), (h)(7)(A).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
