STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE; ORDER
Judge: Hon. Lawrence J. O'Neill
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective counsel that the status conference in the above-captioned matter now set for August 5, 2011, may be continued to August 19, 2011, at 9:00 a.m.
This reason for the continuance is to permit further negotiation and investigation. Counsel reviewed the offer with Ms. Duran-Valdez and because Ms. Duran-Valdez is terminally ill, she needed more time to review it before signing. As Ms. Duran-Valdez is currently housed at Lerdo, counsel also provided medical records and information to the U.S. Probation Officer. We are exploring whether to set for trial, plead, or proceed with current offer.
This continuance will conserve time and resources for both parties and the court.
The parties agree that the delay resulting from the continuance shall be excluded in the interests of justice, including but not limited to, the need for the period of time set forth herein for effective defense preparation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A), (B)(ii), and (iv).
