ORDER TO CONTINUE INITIAL APPEARANCE (FIRST REQUEST)

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE DANIEL J. ALBREGTS

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Christopher Chiou, Acting United States Attorney, and Joshua Brister, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Rene L. Valladares, Federal Public Defender, and Heidi A. Ojeda, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for Alexander Wallace Vega, that the Initial Appearance currently scheduled on January 11, 2022 at 2:30 p.m., be vacated and continued to a date and time convenient to the Court, but no sooner than ten (10) days.

This Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:

1. Mr. Vega was ordered released, but one of the surety bond signers has not signed the surety bond yet. Counsel is trying to get the appropriate paperwork signed to effect Mr. Vega's release.

2. At this time, he is still in custody in California and cannot make the scheduled initial appearance.

3. Parties request this initial appearance be rescheduled to allow Mr. Vega's release or for him to be transported to Nevada.

4. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.

This is the first request for continuance filed herein.

ORDER

Based on the Stipulation of counsel and good cause appearing, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Initial Appearance currently scheduled on January 11, 2022 at the hour of 2:30 p.m., be vacated and continued to January 24, 2022, at 230 p.m. in Courtroom 3C before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy J. Koppe.
