STIPULATION AND ORDER
CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE
The parties request that the status conference in this case previously set for September 27, 2011, be continued to October 4, 2011 at 9:15 a.m. They stipulate that the time between September 27, 2011, and October 4, 2011 should be excluded from the calculation of time under the Speedy Trial Act. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice are served by granting the continuance so that counsel may have reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). The parties stipulate and agree that the interests of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. §(7)(B)(iv).
