STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE
Court: Hon. Morrison C. England
Defendant Imesh Perera, by and through their undersigned counsel and the United States Government, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Todd Leras, hereby agree and stipulate that the status conference previously scheduled for April 4, 2013 be continued until May 16, 2013. The defendant is charged in a five count indictment alleging violations of 21 U.S.C. §§s 841 (a) (1) and § 846 - possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. The government has previously provided a Plea Agreement to the defendant. It includes a factual basis stretching over a period of more than one year and involving numerous intercepted telephone conversations. The defense has requested the government provide some additional information clarifying relevant aspects as to some of the incidents mentioned in the factual basis. The government has agreed to do so. The parties therefore agree that additional time is needed to finalize the terms of the resolution. Therefore, the parties request a status conference date of May 16, 2013 and that date is available with the Court.
The parties agree that time should be excluded under 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h) (8) (i) for defense preparation and under local code T4.
Respectfully submitted,
