STIPULATION TO SET BENCH TRIAL, BRIEFING SCHEDULE, AND HEARING DATE FOR UNITED STATES' MOTION TO TRANSFER

KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

STIPULATION

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendant, by and through defendant's counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. By previous order, this matter was set for a trial confirmation hearing on August 30, 2017 and a jury trial on September 29, 2017. ECF 30.

2. On August 14, 2017, the United States moved to dismiss counts eight and nine of the Superseding Information, leaving only Class B Misdemeanors in the case (counts one through seven). ECF 31.

3. Given that only Class B Misdemeanors remain in this case, the United States intends to move to transfer this case back to the Redding Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, which is the Division to which the offenses of counts one through seven were originally assigned. See Case No. 3:16-MJ-00016-CMK (E.D. Cal.). The defendant intends to oppose that motion.

4. By this stipulation, the parties jointly move to vacate the jury trial scheduled on September 29, 2017. The parties also jointly move for the Court to set the following briefing and hearing schedule on the United States' anticipated motion to transfer. The parties also jointly move for the Court to tentatively set a bench trial in this case on October 23, 2014, with the understanding that the Court will vacate the bench trial if it grants the United States' motion to transfer.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Court adopts the parties' proposed briefing and hearing schedule and vacates the jury trial scheduled for September 29, 2017. Further the Court sets a tentative bench trial on October 23, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
