ORDER
KIMBA M. WOOD, DISTRICT JUDGE
The parties are directed to appear on February 7, 2019, at 2:45 p.m.
Counsel for the defendant has requested an adjournment of the next pre-trial conference scheduled for January 3, 2019, because the parties are in discussion about a possible disposition short of trial.
The Court excludes the time from today until February 7, 2019, from the running of the Speedy Trial Act clock pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The Court finds that the granting of such a continuance best serves the ends of justice and outweighs the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial because the parties need this additional time to discuss a disposition of this case short of trial.
