The opinion of the court was delivered by: Judge: Hon. Anthony W. Ishii

DANIEL J. BRODERICK, #89424 Federal Defender MELODY M. WALCOTT, Bar #219930 Assistant Federal Defender Designated Counsel for Service 2300 Tulare Street, Suite 330 Fresno, California 93721-2226 Telephone: (559) 487-5561 Attorney for Defendant MICHAEL PETTENGER

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE HEARING;

ORDER

Date: January 10, 2011 Time: 9:00 a.m.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto and through their respective attorneys, that the status conference hearing in the above-captioned matter now scheduled for December 6, 2010 may be continued to January 10, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.

This continuance is requested by counsel for the defendant to allow additional time for further defense preparation and to allow the parties additional time for plea negotiation prior to hearing. Assistant United States Attorney David L. Gappa has no objection to this request. The requested continuance will conserve time and resources for both counsel and the court.

The parties agree that time shall be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B) in that the ends of justice served by the continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, since the failure to grant such a continuance would deny counsel for the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
