STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING

LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, Chief District Judge.

TO: THE CLERK OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, HONORABLE LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL AND BRIAN K. DELANEY, ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY:

COMES NOW Defendant, ROBIN LEE, by and through her attorney of record, Virna L. Santos, hereby requesting that the sentencing hearing currently set for January 8, 2018 be continued to March 26, 2018 at 9:30 a.m.

This request is premised upon defense counsel's unforeseen unavailability for good case. Specifically, undersigned defense concluded a month-long trial on December 8, 2017, People v. Joshua Stepp, Tulare County Superior Court Case No. VCF 273216. Due to the length of said trial, defense counsel was unable to review the presentence report with Ms. Lee or prepare any informal and formal objections within the prescribed deadlines. Defense counsel requires additional time to complete these tasks in advance of the sentencing hearing within a timeline that will allow the U.S. Probation Office to respond to objections and prepare a final report. Accordingly, this continuance is unavoidable and necessary.

Undersigned counsel has consulted with AUSA Brian K. Delaney, who has no objection to this request. The parties have agreed to a new sentencing hearing date of March 26, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. for sentencing.

IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The change of plea hearing currently set for January 8, 2018 is hereby continued to March 26, 2018 at 9:30 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
