(FOURTH REQUEST)
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
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. Valladares, Federal Public Defender, and Navid Afshar, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for James Allen Govoreau, that the bench trial currently scheduled on December 28, 2022, be vacated and continued to a date and time convenient to the Court, but no sooner than thirty (30) days.
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 fourth request for a continuance of the bench trial.
ORDER
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the bench trial currently scheduled for Wednesday, December 28, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., be vacated and continued to March 8, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., Courtroom 3A. No further continuance will be granted, unless there are special circumstances granting a continuance.
