UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MINDY RUBLOWITZ
JONATHAN ROMANKOW Assistant U.S. Attorney JEROME A. BALLAROTTO, Esq. Counsel Defendant Kristin Jacobs
Honorable Douglas Arpert
ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE
This matter having been opened to the Court by Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Jonathan W. Romankow, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendant MINDY RUBLOWITZ (Jerome A. Ballarotto, Esq., appearing), for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter; and one continuance having previously been granted; and the defendant being aware that she has the right to have the matter presented to a Grand Jury within thirty (30) days of the date of her arrest pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. § 3161; and the defendant through her attorney having waived such rights and consented to the continuance; and for good and sufficient cause shown,
IT IS THE FINDING OF THIS COURT that this action should be continued for the following reasons:
1. Plea negotiations currently are in progress, and both the United States and the defendant desire additional time to enter a plea in Court, which would thereby render trial of this matter unnecessary.
2. Defendant has consented to the aforementioned continuance.
3. The grant of a continuance will likely conserve judicial resources.
4. Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7)(A), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial.
WHEREFORE, on this 24th day of September, 2012;
ORDERED that the proceedings in the above-captioned matter are continued from September 14, 2012 through November 13, 2012; and it is further
ORDERED that the period between from September 14, 2012 through November 13, 2012 shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974.
