STIPULATION AND
ORDER TO CONTINUE
SENTENCING HEARING
The parties hereto, by and through their respective attorneys, stipulate and agree that the sentencing hearing in the instant action, currently calendared for April 8, 2013, be continued to April 15, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. in the courtroom of the Hon. Anthony W. Ishii.
The continuance is based on the defense's need for additional time to prepare for sentencing. Due to logistical challenges due to Mr. Flores-Ruiz' housing at the Lerdo facility, defense counsel was not able to review the probation report with him until March 27, 2013
The additional time will afford defense counsel an opportunity to discuss facts provided by Mr. Flores-Ruiz with the probation officer, who is on vacation this week. In addition, the requested continuance will afford defense counsel sufficient time to file a timely sentencing memorandum.
The parties also agree that any delay resulting from this continuance shall be excluded in the interest of justice pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§3161(h)(1)(A). Interests of the defendant outweigh the interests of the public with the good cause finding.
