STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between Plaintiff United States of America, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Jill Thomas, Attorney Olaf Hedberg on behalf of Leonard Woodfork, that the status conference scheduled for July 24, 2014 be continued to August 28, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. to exclude time between July 31, 2014, and August 28, 2014, under Local Code T4.
The government has provided a written Plea Agreement proposing resolution of this matter. Defendant has responded with a proposed alternative resolution. The parties anticipate continued negotiations regarding the resolution of this case.
This case stems from a wiretap investigation and the discovery is voluminous. The parties are reviewing that discovery in light of the proposed and prospective resolution proposals. One of the purposes of this review is to determine whether any disputes as to estimated guideline calculations can be resolved. This process includes the sharing of some defense investigation information with the government. Both sides of the case are also conducting further follow up investigation. This investigation impacts the potential sentencing guidelines applicable to Defendant Leonard Woodfork. Lastly, the interaction of the instant matter with a previous parallel matter in Placer County has presented some unique issues that the parties are in the process of resolving. The Government has provided a proposed plea agreement as a result of the negotiations in the matter at bar. Defense counsel needs time to explain this plea agreement to his client.
