2012-11-08 9 0 Scheduling Order as to Brandon Earl Townsend (USM #71788-065). At counsel's request, Change of Plea Hearing is SET for 11/20/2012 at 11:00AM in Judge Hernandez's Courtroom before Judge Marco A. Hernandez. Based upon his counsel's representations, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(7)(A) the Court finds the ends of justice outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial because the failure to grant the requested continuance is likely to result in a miscarriage of justice (§3161(h)(7)(B)(i)) and likely would deny Defendant's counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence (§3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). Thus, excludable delay is granted until 11/20/2012. Ordered by Judge Marco A. Hernandez. Wording modified on 11/8/2012 and ECF notice regenerated (mr). (Entered: 11/08/2012)
