THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF, v. HECTOR MOTA, DEFENDANT.
Charles A. O'Hara, Attorney for Defendant, Hector Mota Jared S. Maag Assistant U.S. Attorney
ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE
NOW, on this 4th day of January, 2012, the above-entitled matter comes before the Court upon the Motion of the Defendant to continue the plea hearing presently scheduled for December 28, 2011 to a time to be determined by the Court.
The Court examines the files and after reviewing the Motion and being fully advised in the premises, finds that counsel for Defendant needs additional time to further discuss the Plea Agreement with the Defendant. Assistant United States Attorney Jared Maag has no objections to this request for continuance of the plea hearing. The court rules that good cause has been shown that the Defendant's Motion for Continuance of the plea hearing should be sustained.
The Court further finds that the period of delay resulting from the extension granted pursuant to this Order shall be excludable time as provided for in 18 U.S.C. 3161 (h)(7) in that the ends of justice served by granting such continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Defendant's Motion for Continuance of the plea hearing shall be granted and the plea hearing in the above-entitled matter will be rescheduled to the 20th day of January, 2012 and that the period of delay resulting from such continuance shall be excludable time as provided for by the Speedy Trial Act 18 U.S.C.3161 (H)(7).
IT IS SO ORDERED.

United States District Judge
