UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. VAGE KARAPETYAN, Defendants. v.
Rachael E. Stewart, Esq. Counsel for Vage Karapetyan Edward Veronda, Esq. Assistant United States Attorney Counsel for the United States of America
Rachael E. Stewart, Esq. Counsel for Vage Karapetyan
Edward Veronda, Esq. Assistant United States Attorney Counsel for the United States of America
STIPULATION TO CONTINUE REVOCATION HEARING (THIRD REQUEST)
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Edward Veronda, Assistant United States Attorney, and Vage Karapetyan by and through his attorney, Rachael E. Stewart, that the Revocation of Supervised Release Hearing currently scheduled for July 27, 2023, at the hour of 9:00 a.m., be continued for a period of sixty days, to a date and time convenient to this Court.
This stipulation is entered for the following reasons:
1. The Defense requires additional time to process the discovery and review all aspects of both the revocation and the potential new case. The potential new case is tied to the revocation, and the Defense needs additional time before proceeding with the revocation hearing.
2. Defense Counsel has spoken with Assistant United States Attorney Edward Veronda, and the Government agrees to the continuance.
3. Defendant Vage Karapetyan is out of custody, and he agrees to the continuance.
4. The additional time requested herein is not sought for purposes of delay.
5. Denial of this request for a continuance would deny the parties sufficient time to prepare for the revocation hearing, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
6. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the pending Stipulation of counsel, and good cause appearing therefore, the Court finds that:
1. The Defense requires additional time to process the discovery and review all aspects of both the revocation and the potential new case. The potential new case is tied to the revocation, and the Defense needs additional time before proceeding with the revocation hearing.
2. Defense Counsel has spoken with Assistant United States Attorney Edward Veronda, and the Government agrees to the continuance.
3. Defendant Vage Karapetyan is out of custody, and he agrees to the continuance.
4. The additional time requested herein is not sought for purposes of delay.
5. Denial of this request for a continuance would deny the parties sufficient time to prepare for the revocation hearing, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
6. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The ends of justice served by granting said continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defense, since the failure to grant said continuance would be likely to result in a miscarriage of justice, would deny the defendant sufficient time and the opportunity within which to be able to effectively and thoroughly prepare for the revocation hearing, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
ORDER
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Revocation Hearing scheduled for July 27, 2023, at the hour of 9:00 a.m., be vacated and continued to the 29th day of September, 2023, at the hour of 9:00 a.m..
