Brian F. Russo (018594) Attorney at Law Phoenix, Arizona Attorney for Defendant Anthony Para
MOTION TO CONTINUE SENTENCING AND ORDER
COMES NOW the defendant, by and through his attorney, Brian F. Russo, and hereby moves this Honorable Court for an order continuing the sentencing currently scheduled for January 24, 2007, for a period of thirty days based on the following reasons.
The defendant has not conferred with the Government concerning sentencing recommendation. Based upon the Government's recommendation the defendant may need to prepare and file a response if necessary. Also, defendant may need additional time to acquisition certain documents.
Counsel attempted to contact Assistant United States Attorney Thomas Mazzucco concerning the continuance requested herein. Unfortunately, Mr. Mazzucco was unavailable for his position.
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, defendant respectfully requests the sentencing be continued for a period of thirty days.
It is expected that excludable delay under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A), (B)(i) and (h)(1)(f) may result from this motion or from an order based thereon.
Based on the foregoing Motion to Continue Sentencing, having no objection by the United States Government, and for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the sentencing be continued to the 21st day of February 2007, at 2:30 p.m. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that excludable delay under Title 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(8)(A) will commence on January 24, 2007 for a total of 28 days.
