I hereby attest that I have on file all holograph signatures for any signatures indicated by a "conformed" signature (/S/) within this e-filed document. Based on the reasons provided in the stipulation of the parties above, the Court hereby

13 FINDS that the ends of justice served by the continuance requested herein outweigh the best 14 interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial because the failure to grant the 15 continuance would deny the counsel for the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective 16 preparation and deny the defendant continuity of counsel, taking into account the exercise of due 17 diligence. The Court makes this finding because defense counsel needs time to review the details 18 of the defendant's previous deportations and research possible defenses. 19 Based on these findings, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the above-captioned matter 20 is continued to September 3, 2008, and that time is excluded from August 13, 2008 to September 21 3, 2008 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§3161(h)(8)(A) and (B)(iv). 22 IT IS SO ORDERED. 23 24 25 26
