Counsel for Ms. Hampton requests that the Court continue this matter to a date that is compatible with the Court's calender, but not less than thirty (30) days from the presently scheduled sentencing hearing date, to allow undersigned counsel to mentor and assist an Assistant Federal Public Defender at his first oral argument before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in the case of US v.

Undersigned counsel has conferred with Assistant United States Attorney Sandra Moses, and she has granted counsel for Ms. Hampton the liberty of advising the Court that the government has no opposition to this request.
WHEREFORE, for the above and foregoing reasons, it is respectfully prayed, in the interest of justice, that this Honorable Court enter an order continuing the sentencing hearing in this matter presently scheduled for Friday, October 5, 2012, to a date compatible with its calender, but not less than thirty (30) days from the present hearing date.
