ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL (FOURTH REQUEST)
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Jason M. Frierson, United States Attorney, and Angelica Mamiorstein, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Matthew Cox, Esq., counsel for the defendant Morgan Michelle Lee, that the bench trial in the above-captioned matter, currently scheduled for August 10, 2022 at the hour of 9:00 a.m., be vacated and continued to a date and time convenient to the Court, but no sooner than 30 days.
This stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Defense counsel needs additional time to review the proposed Plea Agreement with the Defendant.
2. Defendant is out of custody and agrees to the continuance.
3. The additional time requested herein is not sought for purposes of delay, but merely to allow counsel sufficient time within which to be able to effectively complete a review of the discovery materials, prepare for trial, and explore a pretrial solution.
4. This is the fourth request for continuance of the trial in this case.

Based upon the pending Stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefore, the Court finds that:
1. Defense counsel needs additional time to review the proposed Plea Agreement with the Defendant.
2. The defendant is not in custody and does not object to the continuance.
3. The parties agree to the continuance.
4. This request for a continuance is made in good faith and is not intended to delay the proceedings in the matter.
5. Denial of this request for continuance would result in a miscarriage of justice.
