UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CARLOS MANUEL BETANCES LUNA MERA, Defendant.
ORDER
KIMBA M. WOOD UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
A control date for the next conference is set for September 20, 2019.
The parties have asked for a control date for the next conference, because the parties are in discussion about a possible disposition short of trial.
The Court excludes the time from today until September 20, 2019, from the running of the Speedy Trial Act clock pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The Court finds that the granting of such a continuance best serves the ends of justice and outweighs the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial because the parties need this additional time to discuss a disposition of this case short of trial.
