Opinion
ROGER T. NUTTALL, NUTTALL & COLEMAN, FRESNO, CA, Attorneys for Defendant, EFREN ABRAHAM LOPEZ.
STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING SENTENCING HEARING
ANTHONY W. ISHII, Senior District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto that the Sentencing Hearing currently scheduled for October 5, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. be continued to December 7, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. before the Honorable Anthony W. Ishii.
The need for a continuance is based upon defense counsel's need for additional time to conduct defense investigation respecting the ongoing collateral and related case which is pending in the Central District of California, and to be able to fully advise the defendant.
Accordingly, counsel respectfully requests that the Sentencing Hearing relative to EFREN ABRAHAM LOPEZ be continued to December 7, 2015, at 10:00 a.m.
The parties stipulate and agree that time can be excluded from October 5, 2015, to, and including, December 7, 2015, based upon counsel's need to be able to adequately represent his client at sentencing, and that the ends of justice outweigh the public's and defendant's interest in a speedy resolution.
Under the circumstances set forth herein, it is respectfully suggested that good cause does exist for a continuance to the hereinabove noted date. Counsel's office has communicated with both Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathleen Servatius and also, Probation Officer Philip Hendley, who have expressed no objection to the instant request.
Under the circumstances set forth herein, it is respectfully suggested that good cause does exist for a continuance to the hereinabove noted date.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
