Honorable Jose L. Linares
United States District Judge
Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Courthouse
Dear Judge Linares:
We represent the defendant in the above-referenced action and write to request that the Court postpone the status conference currently scheduled for March 7, 2013.
As the Court is aware, the undersigned counsel has moved before the Honorable Esther Salas, United States District Judge, to consolidate the above-referenced matter with two related matters. See State of New Jersey v. Deleon, 2:13-cr-0079 (D.N.J. Feb. 14, 2013) (Dkt. # 3). That motion, which may moot any further proceedings in the instant action, has a return date of March 10, 2013.
Accordingly, in order to promote judicial economy and prevent a waste of attorney resources for the State of New Jersey and the United States of America, it is respectfully requested that the Court postpone the status conference scheduled for March 7, 2013, until such time as Judge Salas decides the motion to consolidate. Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL J. FISHMAN
United States Attorney
