ORDER TO CONTINUE BENCH TRIAL (FIRST REQUEST)
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Jason M. Frierson, United States Attorney, and Christopher Burton, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Rene L.

This Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Counsel for the defendant needs additional time to conduct investigation in this case in order to determine whether there are any pretrial issues that must be litigated and whether the case will ultimately go to trial or will be resolved through negotiations.
2. The defendant is not in custody and agrees with the need for the continuance.
3. The parties agree to the continuance.
This is the first request for a continuance of the bench trial.
