UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. BRANDON RAY MALONE
RONALD C. SMALL Assistant Federal Public Defender Attorney for Brandon Ray Malone
CHIEF JUDGE HAYNES
MOTION TO CONTINUE PLEA HEARING
COMES NOW Brandon Ray Malone and respectfully requests that the Court continue the plea hearing currently set for Monday, November 26, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. to either Monday, December 3, 2012, or Friday, December 7, 2012. Pursuant to the Court's order, counsel must notify the Court at least three days prior to plea hearing if the defendant does not intend to enter a guilty plea as scheduled, in order to assist with the Court's calendar. (D.E. 16). Counsel would show that, at this time, Mr. Malone intends to resolve his case by way of a guilty plea, but requires additional time to receive and review discovery materials, negotiate with the Government and to discuss a potential plea. For these reasons, it is respectfully requested that the Court reschedule the plea hearing to one of the dates set forth above, or until a date and time convenient with the Court's calendar.
Respectfully submitted,
