STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE SENTENCING

DALE A. DROZD, District Judge.

To the above entitled District Court and the attorneys for the parties:

Please take notice that the parties in the case have agreed to continue the sentencing date of the defendant JOSEPH ALVAREZ ("Mr. Alvarez") from the currently scheduled date of July 9, 2018, to the new date of September 17, 2018, at 10 a.m., in Courtroom 5 of the above-entitled Court, in the Fresno Division, before the Honorable District Court Judge Dale A. Drozd. The continuance is on the grounds that both parties agree the case will not be ready for a sentencing hearing until the newly stipulated date. Mr. Alvarez is going on six months in his residential treatment program at the Fresno Rescue Mission. The standard course of treatment, if permitted to run its course, will involve six more months of residential treatment and, following that, six months of treatment in a transitional living facility associated with the Fresno Rescue Mission.

The parties agree that the continuance here is reasonable, necessary, and in the interests of justice.

For the reasons stated above, the parties stipulate as follows:

1.That Mr. Alvarez's sentencing date be continued from the currently scheduled date of July 9, 2018, to the new date of September 17, 2018, at 10 a.m., in Courtroom 5 of the above-entitled Court, in the Fresno Division, before the Honorable District Court Judge Dale A. Drozd.

ORDER

Good cause appearing, the sentencing hearing as to the above named defendant currently scheduled for July 9, 2018, is continued until September 17, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. in courtroom 5 before District Judge Dale A. Drozd.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
