STIPULATION AND ORDER VACATING
DATE, CONTINUING CASE, AND
EXCLUDING TIME
Date: October 17, 2011
Time: 8:30 a.m.
Judge: Hon. Shubb
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney HEIKO COPPOLA, Counsel for Plaintiff, and Attorney Dina L. Santos, Counsel for Defendant SALVADOR GARCIA MONDRAGON, and Attorney Gilbert Roque, Counsel for Defendant FABIAN PINEDA SANCHZ; Attorney Clemente Jiminez, Counsel for Defendant TOURINO GARCIA MONDRAGON, that the status conference scheduled for August 12, 2011, be vacated and the matter be continued to this Court's criminal calendar on October 17, 2011, at 8:30 a.m., for further status.
This continuance is requested by the defense in order to permit further diligent examination of possible defenses, further client consultation concerning available courses of action, and review of discovery. Although some investigation has been done by the defense, a significant amount of investigation remains to be performed that will impact whether the case proceeds on to trial.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 et. seq. be tolled pursuant to §
3161(h)(7)(A) & (B)(iv), Local code T-4 (time to prepare), and that the ends of justice served in granting the continuance and allowing the defendant further time to prepare outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
The Court is advised that all counsel have conferred about this request, that they have agreed to the October 17, 2011 date, and that all counsel have authorized Ms. Santos to sign this stipulation on their behalf.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
