Opinion
BENJAMIN B. WAGNER, United States Attorney, TODD D. LERAS, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Sacramento, California.
OLAF HEDBERG Attorney for Defendant DONG PING HUANG
STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING SENTENCING HEARING
TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff United States of America and Attorney Olaf Hedberg, Counsel for Defendant Dong Ping Huang, that the sentencing hearing date of June 20, 2013, be continued to July 11, 2013, at 9:30 a.m.
The request to continue the sentencing hearing is made for several reasons. Defendant is a Cantonese speaker. An interpreter is therefore required to prepare for all hearings in this matter. Defense counsel is currently in a state court trial and requires additional time to prepare for the sentencing hearing. The government has no objection under the circumstances to the requested continuance.
Defendant has previously entered a guilty plea. Continuing the sentencing hearing therefore has no bearing on time considerations under the Speedy Trial Act. Olaf Hedberg has authorized Assistant United States Attorney Todd D. Leras to sign this stipulation on his behalf.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
The sentencing hearing set for June 20, 2013, is continued to July 11, 2013, at 9:30 a.m.
