STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL; ORDER
Fed. R. Crim. Proc. 48(a)
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, through their respective attorneys of record that pursuant to Rule 48 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and by leave of the Court endorsed hereon, the government requests dismissal with prejudice of Count 4 of the Criminal Complaint; a violation of 36 CFR 2.34(a)(3)- Disorderly Conduct - Unreasonable Noise.
On July 18, 2012, the parties submitted a Stipulation to Waive Appeal Rights in Exchange for Dismissal of Count 4 to Magistrate Judge Seng. Docket Number 30. Judge Seng denied the order without explanation. Docket Number 31. A request for dismissal may be made after conviction and sentence. United States v. Weber, 721 F.2d 266, 269 (9th Cir. 1983). Further, when the defendant consents to a request for a dismissal, the request should be granted unless the dismissal is "clearly contrary to manifest public interest." Id. at 268.
Respectfully submitted,
