STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE
STATUS CONFERENCE AND TO EXCLUDE
TIME PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL
ACT
Date: August 9, 2012
Judge: Morrison C. England, Jr.
It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United States of America through Todd Leras, Assistant U.S. Attorney, defendant NHUNG THI VU, by and through his counsel, Matthew C. Bockmon, Assistant Federal Defender, defendant HUNG NGOC PHAM, by and through her counsel, Dina Santos, defendant CUONG THOI LONG, by and through his counsel, Mark Reichel, defendant THUY THI TRAN by and through her counsel David Fischer, and, defendant DIEP HOANG VU, by and through his counsel, Erin Radekin, that the status conference hearing date of Thursday, July 19, 2012, be vacated and a new status conference hearing date of Thursday, August 9, 2012, at 9:00 a.m., be set.
The reason for this continuance is because proposed plea agreements for each of the defendants are forthcoming from the government, and defense counsel will need additional time for consideration of the plea agreements and consultation with the clients once they are received. The Court is advised that all parties concur with this request, and have authorized Mr. Bockmon to sign the stipulation on their behalf.
It is further stipulated that the time period from the date of this stipulation, July 17, 2012, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, August 9, 2012, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv)and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare], and that the ends of justice to be served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial.
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL BRODERICK
Federal Defender

ORDER
For the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties, filed on July 19, 2012, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the status conference currently scheduled for Thursday, July 19, 2012, be vacated and that the case be set for status conference on Thursday, August 9, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, for the reasons stated in the parties' July 19, 2012, stipulation, the time under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded from the date of this stipulation, July 17, 2012, through and including August 9, 2012, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code T4, due to the need to provide defense counsel with the reasonable time to prepare.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
