THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated by and between the parties, through their respective

must commence under Title 18, United States Code, Section 3161.

The parties respectfully request that the Court vacate the status hearing currently

William H. Green, Esq.

Counsel for Emile Jilwan

On the basis of material submitted to the Court, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance from August 2,

2010, until September 27, 2010, outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendants in a

speedy trial and in the prompt disposition of criminal cases. The Court therefore concludes that

this exclusion of time from August 2, 2010, until September 27, 2010, should be made under

Title 18, United States Code, Sections 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).

The Court vacates the status hearing currently scheduled for August 2, 2010, at 10:00

a.m., and reschedules this matter for a Trial and Motions Setting Conference on Monday,

September 27, 2010, at 10:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
