UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JORGE ANTONIO VILLASANO

Frances C. Bajada Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Stanley Counsel for the defendant Jorge Antonio Villasano


Honorable Jose L. Linares


ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE

This matter having come before the Court on the joint application of Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Frances C. Bajada, Assistant United States Attorney appearing), and the defendant Jorge Antonio Villasano (Tom Stanley, Esq., appearing), for an order granting a continuance of the proceedings in the above-captioned matter, and the defendant being aware that he has the right to have the matter brought to trial within 70 days of the date of his appearance before a judicial officer of this court pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(c)(1), and the defendant having consented to such a continuance, and it appearing that the defendant waives such right, 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 are currently in progress, and both the United States and the defendant desire additional time to negotiate a plea agreement, which would render trial of this matter unnecessary; and

(2) As a result of the foregoing, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161(h)(7), the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

IT IS, therefore, on this 18 day of December 2012,

ORDERED that this action be, and hereby is, continued until February 19, 2013; and it is further

ORDERED that the period from the date of this order through February 19, 2013 shall be excludable in computing time under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974.
