STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Judge: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr.
The parties request that the status conference in this case be continued from August 26, 2011, to September 16, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. They stipulate that the time between August 26, 2011 and September 16, 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 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, counsel needs additional time to negotiate a resolution to this matter and to investigate the facts of the case. 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. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
Respectfully submitted,
