Counsel for Defendant BELL
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER TO CONTINUE SENTENCING
Current hearing date: May 7, 2013
Proposed hearing date: May 21, 2013
1. On January 29, Mr. Bell pled guilty to one count of theft of government property. His sentencing date was set for May 7. 2. Defense counsel has since learned that she will be out of the district for work on May 7. In order to assure that Mr. Bell's lawyer is present during his sentencing hearing, a critical stage of his proceedings, it is necessary to continue his sentencing. 3. According to the Court's calendar, the Court is not available the following week on May 14. Therefore, the parties request that Mr. Bell's sentencing hearing be re-set for May 21. 4. Mr. Bell is out of custody, so a continuance does not prejudice him in any way.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
MELINDA HAAG
United States Attorney
