STIPULATION AND ORDER VACATING DATE, CONTINUING CASE, AND EXCLUDING TIME
JUDGE: Hon. William B. Shubb
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Assistant United States Attorney Heiko Coppola, Counsel for Plaintiff, and Attorneys Clemente M. Jimenez, Counsel for Defendant TAURINO MONDRAGON, and Dina Santos, Counsel for Defendant SALVADOR MONDRAGON, that the status conference scheduled for January 17, 2012, at 9:30 a.m., be vacated and the matter continued to this Court's criminal calendar on February 21, 2012, 9:30 a.m. for further status conference. Defense investigation in this matter is ongoing and requires additional time for completion. Furthermore, counsel seeks additional time to prepare and confer with their respective clients. This request is made as to defendants Taurino Mondragon and Salvador Mondragon only.
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that time for trial under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 3161 et seq. be tolled pursuant to Section 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv), (Local code T-4), and that the ends of justice served in granting the continuance and allowing the defendants further time to prepare outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial.
