STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS
CONFERENCE AND EXCLUDE TIME
Judge: Garland E. Burrell, Jr.
The parties request that the status conference in this case be continued from August 26, 2011, to November 4, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. They stipulate that, for the reasons stated below, the time between August 26, 2011, and November 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 the Court excluding such time, so that both 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).
Counsel requests additional time to conduct an extensive review of defendant's immigration history before deciding how to proceed. However, I will be gone on family medical leave from September 12, 2011 for 5 weeks and will not be available to complete that task until I return. The parties stipulate and agree that the interests of justice served by granting this continuance therefore outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL J. BRODERICK

ORDER
The status conference is continued to November 4, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. For the reasons set forth above, the court finds that the ends of justice to be served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and therefore excludes time through November 4, 2011, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR.
United States District Judge
