Attorney at Law
Attorney for defendant,
AARON POTTS
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR CONTINUANCE OF
STATUS CONFERENCE AND FOR EXCLUSION OF TIME
Counsel for the government, Jill Thomas, and counsel for defendant Aaron Potts, Timothy E. Warriner, hereby jointly request that the status conference now scheduled for January 20, 2012, be continued to February 24, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., and that time continue to be excluded to February 24, 2012 for preparation of counsel (Local Code T 4; 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv)). Exclusion of time is requested as time continues to be needed for counsel to review and evaluate the pre-plea presentence report and written plea agreement, to meet with the client, who is housed in the Butte County Jail, concerning the pre-plea report and plea agreement, and to continue plea negotiations with the Government. Additionally, defense counsel is currently in trial in a Sacramento County murder case. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
Respectfully submitted.
Tim Warriner, Attorney for
Defendant, Aaron Lamar Potts
Jill Thomas, Assistant United
States Attorney, for the Government
