STIPULATION TO CONTINUE 

STATUS CONFERENCE, AND ORDER 

THEREON 

PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Counsel for the Defendant has just received supplemental discovery from the 

Government. Counsel for the Defendant needs significant additional time to organize, 

investigate, and prepare this case. Therefore, it is requested that the Status Conference set for 

August 10, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. be continued to September 14, 2006 at 10:00 a.m.. I have spoken 

to the prosecuting AUSA, Samuel Wong, who has no opposition to this request. In fact, he has 

agreed that I may sign his name to the request.

Plaintiff, United States, and Defendant, John Ballard, through their undersigned counsel, 

hereby stipulate and agree that the Court may re-set the date for the Status Conference from

2006, the new Status Conference date, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(8)(B)(iv) and Local Code 

T4 in order to give Counsel for the Defendant reasonable time to prepare.

I concur in the above requests to vacate the status conference now set for August 10,

Dated: July 25, 2006 /s/ John Ballard

ORDER

Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court 

hereby finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defendant's counsel 

reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due 

diligence. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such 

continuance outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 

Based on these findings and pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, the Court hereby 

adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: July 25, 2006
