STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE
BENCH TRIAL
Date: January 24, 2013
Judge: Hon. Carolyn K. Delaney
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between the parties through their respective counsel, Ashwin Janakiram, Assistant United States Attorney, and Linda C. Harter, Chief Assistant Federal Defender, attorney for RACHELLE SEELIG, that the Court continue the January 24, 2013 Bench Trial and set this case for Bench Trial on February 21, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
Ms. Seelig is charged in this case with two counts, both are Class B misdemeanors. The Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §3162 et. seq. does not apply to this case. See 18 U.S.C. §3172(2). The current trial date was set by stipulation between the parties.
The ends of justice are best served by allowing a continuance in this matter. Ms. Seelig is attempting to resolve multiple legal issues in multiple courts in California and does not intend to fail to appear in any court. She is unable to obtain a continuance on the state court matter. A denial of the continuance in this matter would require her to choose between failing to appear here or in state court.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH SCHLESINGER
Acting Federal Defender
