STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER
CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDING TIME
Date: October 21, 2011
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Judge: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties through their respective counsel, Michele Beckwith, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Douglas Beevers, Assistant Federal Defender, attorney for defendant, VICTOR ORLANDO MUNOZ, that the Status Conference presently scheduled for October 7, 2011 be vacated, and rescheduled for Status Conference on October 21, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.
This continuance is requested to allow the parties additional time to negotiate a fast-track plea toward resolution of the case once the PreSentence Investigative Report has been prepared and reviewed with Mr. Munoz.
To afford time to complete these tasks, the parties agree that the time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from the date of signing of this order through and including October 21, 2011 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) [reasonable time to prepare] and Local Code T4 based upon continuity of counsel and defense preparation.
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL BRODERICK
Federal Defender

ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED. For the reasons set forth above, the court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by granting of such a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and therefore excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act through October 21, 2011.
