STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR
CONTINUANCE OF PRELIMINARY HEARING
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Benjamin B. Wagner, United States Attorney and Kimberly A. Sanchez, Assistant U.S. Attorney and Dale Blickenstaff, attorney for Esther Walker, that the preliminary hearing set for September 30, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. be continued to October 7, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. The parties have been engaged in further investigation that may result in a disposition of the matter negating the need for a preliminary hearing, but need additional time to complete that investigation. Thus, the parties agree that pursuant to F.R.Crim.P. 5.1(d), the 14 day time limitation set forth in F.R.Crim.P. 5.1(c) will be extended to permit scheduling of the preliminary hearing on October 7, 2011, which takes into account the public interest in prompt disposition of the case.
For the reasons set forth above, the parties respectfully request that the preliminary hearing scheduled for September 30, 2011, be moved to October 7, 2011 at 1:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
BENJAMIN B. WAGNER
United States Attorney
KIMBERLY A. SANCHEZ
