Form and entry consented to: Mary E. Toscano Assistant U.S. Attorney Candace Hom, Assistant Federal Public Defender Counsel for defendant Duval Moore
Honorable Cathy L. Waldor
ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE
This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Mary E. Toscano, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendant Duval Moore, a/k/a "Cool Shoes" (Candace Horn, Assistant Federal Public Defender, appearing), for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter for a period of 60 days to permit defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation in this matter and to allow the parties to engage in plea negotiations, and the defendant and his counsel being aware that the defendant has the right to have this matter presented to a Grand Jury within thirty (30) days of his arrest, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161 (b), and no continuances having previously been granted by the Court pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(A), and the defendant having consented to the continuance and waived such right, and for good cause shown,
IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:
(1) The parties request an opportunity for sufficient time to engage in plea negotiations, which would render any grand jury proceedings and any subsequent trial of this matter unnecessary; and
(2) Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial.
IT IS, therefore, on this ____ day of May, 2012,
ORDERED that this action be, and it hereby is, continued for a period of sixty days from May 4, 2012 to July 3, 2012; and it is further
ORDERED that the period from May 4, 2012 through July 3, 2012 shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974.
