JUDGE: Hon. Lawrence K. Karlton
It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United States of America through MICHAEL ANDERSON, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and defendant, HERNAN RAMIREZ-RAMIREZ, by and through his counsel, MATTHEW M. SCOBLE, Assistant Federal Defender, DANIEL VARGAS SALINAS, by and through his counsel, GILBERT ROQUE, that the status conference set for Tuesday, September 20, 2011, be continued to Tuesday, October 18, 2011, at 9:15 a.m.

It is further stipulated that the time period from the date of this stipulation, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, October 18, 2011, 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) & (B)(iv)and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare].

ORDER
Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. It is hereby ordered that the presently set September 20, 2011, status conference shall be continued to October 18, 2011, at 9:15 a.m. It is further ordered that the time period from the date of the parties' stipulation, September 15, 2011, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, October 18, 2011, 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) & (B)(iv) and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare].
Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
