SEVENTH STIPULATION TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING
KENT J. DAWSON, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and through Nicholas A. Trutanich, United States Attorney, and Daniel J. Cowhig, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and defendant GILBERT R. ROUSSEAU, by and through his local counsel, John Benedict, Esq., that the Sentencing Hearing currently scheduled for currently set for Tuesday, August 13, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. be continued until a date and time convenient to the Court not sooner than 6 months from the current setting.
This Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Lead counsel for defendant ROUSSEAU, James Henderson, Sr., passed away. Attorney Henderson had appeared in this matter pro hac vice, with Attorney Benedict as local counsel. Defendant ROUSSEAU desires to be represented by the Federal Public Defender's Office, or if that office has a conflict, via court appointment.
2. Further, defendant ROUSSEAU requires additional time to fulfill his commitments under the plea agreement.
3. Defendant ROUSSEAU is at liberty, having been released on a personal recognizance bond with conditions. The United States is not aware of any substantive violations of the presentencing release conditions imposed by the Court.
4. Defendant ROUSSEAU agrees to this continuance.
5. Denial of this request could result in a miscarriage of justice.
6. This is the seventh request to continue the sentencing hearing.
7. The parties seek this continuance in good faith, not for the purposes of delay.
RELIEF REQUESTED
For the reasons stated above, the parties request the Court vacate the sentencing hearing in this matter currently set for Tuesday, August 13, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. be continued until a date and time convenient to the Court not sooner than 6 months from the current setting. A proposed order is attached.
