McGREGOR W. SCOTT, United States Attorney, MARIANNE A. PANSA, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Attorney for Plaintiff.

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE AND ORDER THEREON
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel, MARIANNE A. PANSA, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for Plaintiff, and ERIC V. KERSTEN, Assistant Federal Defender, counsel for Defendant Savino Garcia-Lopez, that the date for status conference in the above-captioned matters may be continued to February 7, 2006. The date previously set for status conference is January 27, 2006. The requested new date is February 7, 2006 at 9:00 A.M.
The reason for this request is that a negotiated settlement will likely resolve this matter, but additional time is needed for further investigation and discussion of the proposed plea and pre-plea presentence investigation report.
The parties agree that the delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded in the interests of justice, including but not limited to, the need for the period of time set forth herein for effective defense preparation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv).
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED. The intervening period of delay is excluded in the interests of justice pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv).
