United States of America v. Gilbert Flores

The opinion of the court was delivered by: Judge: Hon. Lawrence J. O'Neill

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 GILBERT FLORES, JR.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto and through their respective attorneys, that the status conference/review hearing in the above-captioned matter now scheduled for May 6, 2011, may be continued to May 13, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. This continuance is requested because counsel for Mr. Flores is scheduled to be out of her office on the date now set for hearing and will not be available to appear in court. Additionally, the continuance will provide the parties additional time for finalization of plea negotiation prior to hearing. The requested continuance will provide continuity of counsel, will serve the ends of justice and result in economic use of time and resources and will conserve time and resources for all parties and the court. Assistant United States Attorney Brian Enos does not object to this request.

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.

ORDER

Good Cause exists. Time is hereby excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
