STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE TO; ORDER THEREON
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto that the Status Conference hearing currently set for August 25, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. in the above captioned matter and Courtroom, be continued to September 22, 2011at
Defendant is a member of the Tule River tribe, and defense counsel has been communicating with tribe representatives regarding volunteer community service and a mentor program and only recently has made contact with a person who can assist in that regard, but there is paperwork that needs to be completed including a HIPPA form that defense counsel has not obtained. The week prior to the requested continuance date defense counsel is scheduled to be at a State Bar Convention event, so is unavailable on September 15, 2011. The extra time is needed by defense counsel, because there is a bureaucracy that she is dealing with in order to place her client in an appropriate community service program that will also be suitable to the government.
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 interest of justice pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A).
