STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE DISPOSITION HEARING

WILLIAM B. SHUBB, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Phillip A. Talbert, United States Attorney, through Cameron Desmond, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for Plaintiff, and Heather Williams, Federal Defender, through Assistant Federal Defender Jerome Price, attorney for James R. Martin, that the disposition hearing scheduled for [Current Hearing Date] be vacated and reset for October 30, 2017 at 9:00 a.m.

On August 14, 2017, Mr. Martin entered an admission to Charge 1, 2 and 4 of the Petition (Docket #256). By this stipulation, the parties jointly move for a continuance of the disposition hearing to October 30, 2017, to allow defense counsel additional time to prepare and submit a response to the government's sentencing memorandum (Docket #269). Defense counsel previously sought a continuance due to an urgent personal matter requiring him to be out of the office for several days. This leave has interfered with counsel's ability to review the government's memorandum, filed October 10, 2017, and effectively present a response by the current hearing date. Given counsel's unavailability, October 30, 2017 represents the next best date for the parties.

ORDER

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, the Court, having received, read, and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, grants the request for a continuance. Because the suggested date is not convenient to the court, the disposition hearing is continued to January 8, 2018, at 9:00 a.m.
