or in the alternative, prepare pretrial motions, and to 

otherwise prepare for trial.

such action outweigh the best interests of the public and 

the defendant in a speedy trial.

O R D E R 

 UPON GOOD CAUSE SHOWN and the stipulation of all 

parties, it is ordered that the September 24, 2015, status 

conference hearing for NEMESSIS ROSENDO VENEGAS only be 

continued to November 5, 2015, at 9:30 a.m. Based on the 

representation of defense counsel and good cause appearing 

therefrom, the Court hereby finds that the failure to grant 

a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel 

reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking 

into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court 

finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting a 

continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and 

the defendant in a speedy trial. It is ordered that time 

beginning from the parties' stipulation, on September 18, 

2015, up to and including the November 5, 2015, status 

conference shall be excluded from computation of time 

within which the trial of this matter must be commenced 

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

§3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code T-4, to allow 

defense counsel reasonable time to prepare. 

 IT IS SO FOUND AND ORDERED this 18TH day of September 

2015.
