Case No. CR.S-11-176 JAM
STIPULATION AND ORDER
Date: February 21, 2012
Time: 9:30 a.m.
Judge: Hon. John A. Mendez

17

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their

18

respective counsel, MICHELLE BECKWITH, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney

19

for Plaintiff, and COURTNEY FEIN, attorney for MARIA GUTIERREZ-BLANCA, that

20

the status conference of February 7, 2012 be vacated and the matter be set for status

21

conference on February 21, 2012.

22

The reason for this continuance is to allow defense counsel additional time to

23

consult with her client and to allow the parties additional time for settlement discussion.

24

Complex issues regarding the pre-plea advisory pre-sentence report had to be resolved

25

before the parties could move forward with these discussions. Based upon the foregoing,

26

the parties agree that the time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from the date

27

of signing of this order through and including February 21, 2012 pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

DANIEL BRODERICK
Federal Defender

UPON GOOD CAUSE SHOWN and the stipulation of all parties, it is ordered that
the February 7, 2012, status conference hearing be continued to February 21, 2012, at

12
13

9:30 a.m. Based on the representation of defense counsel and good cause appearing

14

therefrom, the Court hereby finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case

15

would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking

16
17

into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be

18

served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the

19

defendant in a speedy trial. It is ordered that time up to and including the February 7,

20
21

2012 status conference shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial

22

of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §

23

3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code 26 T-4, to allow defense counsel reasonable

24

time to prepare.
