STIPULATION TO CONTINUE TRIAL (FIRST REQUEST)
THE HON. BRENDA N. WEKSLER, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between The United States of America, through Imani Dixon, Esq., Assistant United States Attorney, together with Daniel Hill, Esq., counsel for defendant Peter Rocha, that the trial currently scheduled for February 7, 2023 at 9:00a.m. be vacated and set to a date and time convenient to this Court, around 90 days from the current trial date.
This stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. The Defendant is out of custody and does not object to the continuance.
2. Defense counsel needs additional time to conduct investigation in this case to determine whether there are any pretrial issues that must be litigated and whether the case will ultimately go to trial or be resolved.
3. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.
4. The additional time requested by this Stipulation is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
5. This is the first request for a continuance of the trial.
ORDER
Based on the stipulation and good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that trial in the above-captioned matter currently scheduled for February 8, 2023 at 9:00 a.m., be vacated and continued to May 24, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.
