McGREGOR W. SCOTT, United States Attorney, KENNETH J. MELIKIAN, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Sacramento, Ca.
SUMMARY ORDER
This case came before the court on October 4, 2005, for a status conference. Plaintiff United States of America was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Melikian. The defendant appeared, in custody, with Attorney Randall G. Knox.
The parties requested that the status conference continue to November 1, 2005. The parties indicated that they are still negotiating a package disposition which would also include a case against the defendant in the Northern District of California. The parties further stated that they expected a Rule 20 transfer of that Northern District case to the Eastern District, but that the authorities in the Northern District needed additional time to approve the disposition. The parties, including the defendant personally, further agreed that time should be excluded through November 1st from the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to local code T4.
ACCORDINGLY: This matter is set for a status conference on November 1, 2005, at 9:30 a.m. Additionally, time is excluded through November 1, 2005, from computation under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to local code T4 ( 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv)), in order to afford defense counsel reasonable time to prepare his case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
