Discovery in this case includes thousands of pages of documents,

intercepted wire communications, and numerous audiotapes and

videotapes with corresponding Spanish and English transcripts. For

these reasons, all parties agree that the current trial date and

trial confirmation hearing date should be vacated, that a new trial

date of November 5, 2007 and a new trial confirmation hearing date

of October 18, 2007, at 9 a.m. should be set, and that time should

be excluded under the Speedy Trial Act between the date of this

order and November 5, 2007 for defense preparation. Undersigned

government counsel has confirmed with the Courtroom Deputy that

these new dates are available on the Court’s calendar. 

Accordingly, the parties jointly request that the current trial

and trial confirmation hearing dates be vacated, that a new trial

date of November 5, 2007 and a new trial confirmation hearing date

of October 18, 2007 at 9 a.m. be scheduled, and that the time from

the date of this order to and including November 5, 2007, be

excluded under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

§3161(h)(8)(B)(iv) and Local Code T4 for defense preparation and

based on a finding by the Court that the ends of justice served by

granting a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and

defendants in a speedy trial.

Respectfully submitted,
