STIPULATION TO CONTINUE STATUS HEARING (FIRST REQUEST)
JAMES,C. MAHAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
It is hereby stipulated and agreed, by and between Jason M. Frierson, United States Attorney, through Jim W. Fang, Assistant United States Attorney, and Jawara Griffin, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for defendant Sonia Hita, that the status hearing in the above-captioned matter, previously scheduled for January 25, 2023, at 10:30 a.m., be vacated and continued until a time convenient to the Court, but no earlier than 60 days from the current setting.
The continuance is necessary because government counsel will be in trial for another matter for the entire week beginning January 24, 2023. Moreover, Probation represented to the government that despite defendant having been ordered to attend in-patient treatment at the revocation hearing, she only very recently begun that treatment, and has finally tested negative for marijuana only since about a week ago. As such, the parties agree that additional time is necessary for defendant to show compliance with the Court's order-this will give defendant another chance to prove the sincerity she showed at the revocation hearing. Accordingly, the parties agree to continue the currently scheduled status hearing from January 25, 2023, to a date convenient to the Court, but no sooner than 60 days from the current setting.
ORDER
Based on the pending Stipulation of counsel, and good cause appearing, IT IS ORDERED that the status hearing in the above-captioned matter, previously scheduled for January 25, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. is vacated and continued until March 29, 2023, at 10:30 a.m.
