Opinion
Case No. CR 07-00409 SBA.
July 21, 2008
ORDER
Before the Court is the parties' stipulation requesting a continuance of the status hearing currently set for July 22, 2008. The parties stipulate that good cause exists to continue the hearing to September 9, 2008 because the government has received an additional discovery request from counsel for defendant Reynoso.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the status hearing set for July 22, 2008 is continued to September 9, 2008 at 9:00 a.m.
It is further ORDERED that the time between July 22, 2008 to September 9, 2008 is excludable under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) and (B)(iv). The Court finds that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial because the failure to grant the continuance would deny counsel for the defendant and the government the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
