v.
DUSTIN CASSADY, Defendant.
Case No. 2:11-cr-00044-JAM
ORDER CONTINUING THE STATUS CONFERENCE HEARING AND
EXCLUDING TIME PURSUANT TO THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT
For the reasons set forth in the stipulation of the parties filed on January 30, 2012, and for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the status hearing set for January 31, 2012, be vacated and that the case be set for a status conference on March 13, 2012, at 9:30 a.m.
The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting the continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Accordingly it is ORDERED that, for the reasons set forth in the parties' stipulation, the time between January 31, 2012 and March 13, 2012, be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), and local code T4, due to the need to provide defense counsel with reasonable time to prepare.
