UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CRISTIAN HERNANDEZ-CARDENAS, Defendant.
ORDER TO CONTINUE PRELIMINARY HEARING
(THIRD REQUEST)
DANIEL J. ABREGTS, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Christopher Chiou, Acting United States Attorney, and Jared Grimmer, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Rene L. Valladares, Federal Public Defender, and Benjamin F. J. Nemec, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for Cristian Hernandez-Cardenas, that the Preliminary Hearing currently scheduled on April 18, 2022 at 4:00 pm, be vacated and continued to a date and time convenient to the Court, but no sooner than ninety (90) days.
This Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Mr. Hernandez-Cardenas has a hearing on a Waiver of Indictment, Filing of Information, Initial Appearance, Arraignment and Plea pursuant to a fast track plea agreement
scheduled for May 16, 2022. The preliminary hearing should be continued past the May 16, 2022 hearing so the parties may receive the benefit of the plea agreement.
2. Defendant is incarcerated and does not object to a continuance.
3. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.
This is the third request for continuance filed herein.
ORDER
