STIPULATION AND ORDER
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.

The reason for this continuance is to allow defense counsel additional time to review discovery with the defendants, to examine possible defenses and to continue investigating the facts of the case.
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, February 22, 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) & (B)(iv)and Local Code T4 [reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare].
Respectfully submitted,

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 January 24, 2012, status conference shall be continued to February 22, 2012, at 9:15 a.m. It is further ordered that the time period from the date of the parties' stipulation, through and including the date of the new status conference hearing, February 22, 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) & (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.
