STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER
TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
Date: February 17, 2012
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Judge: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr.
The parties request that the status conference in this case be continued from January 20, 2012, to February 17, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. They stipulate that the time between January 18, 2012 and February 17, 2012 should be excluded from the calculation of time under the Speedy Trial Act. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice are served by the Court excluding such time, so that counsel for the defendant 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). Specifically, defense counsel needs additional time to review discovery with the defendant, to continue investigating the facts of the case, and to negotiate a resolution to this matter. 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).
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL BRODERICK
Federal Defender
