STIPULATION AND
ORDER CONTINUING SENTENCING
HEARING
Court: Four
(Hon. Lawrence J. O'Neill)
Defendant Megan Balod pleaded guilty on January 25, 2010 to the Information filed in this case. Sentencing is currently set for
October 21, 2011, at 9:00 a.m.
This case is related to the pending case U.S. v. David Crisp, et al. (No. 1:11-cr-0026 LJO), which the Court has designated as complex. The present case concerns transactions or events related to the scheme and artifice to defraud mortgage loan companies and federally insured lending/financial institutions that is charged in U.S. v. David Crisp, et al., and it is anticipated that Ms. Balod may be called as a witness in that case.
To allow additional time for Ms. Balod to fulfill her obligations under the plea agreement in this case, the parties hereby stipulate and jointly request that the Court order that the sentencing hearing in this case be continued for six months, from Oct. 21, 2011 to April 20, 2012, at 9:00 a.m., or the earliest date thereafter that is convenient to the Court. The parties further stipulate and jointly request that the Court extend the deadline to submit informal objections to the Pre-Sentence Report (PSR) to three weeks prior to the continued sentencing date, and extend the deadline to file formal objections to the PSR to one week prior to the continued sentencing date.
Respectfully submitted,
BENJAMIN B. WAGNER
United States Attorney
