STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING DEFENDANT'S SENTENCING

RONALD M. WHYTE, District Judge.

The parties, including the defendant, stipulate as follows:

1. The defendant Sheng Qiang ("defendant") is currently scheduled to be sentenced by this Court on April 15, 2013.

2. Defendant's counsel is currently working to make restitution to the victim in this case. Defense counsel needs additional time to resolve this issue.

3. Defendant's sentencing was continued after her husband and co-defendant, Yezhou Zhao, was brought from China to the United States to face the criminal charges in this case. Mr. Zhao is currently before this Court and pled guilty to Counts One and Four of the Indictment in this case on March 4, 2013. Mr. Zhao's sentencing is scheduled for May 28, 2013. Because defendant and Mr. Zhao's cases have common issues, such as restitution, the parties would respectfully request that both defendants in this case be sentenced at the same time.

4. The Probation Office does not object to the continuance requested by the parties. Nor does the Probation Office object to having both defendants in this case sentenced at the same time.

Given these circumstances, the parties request that the Court continue defendant's sentencing from April 15, 2013 through May 28, 2013.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

[PROPOSED]

Having considered the stipulation of the parties and finding good cause, the Court orders that defendant Sheng Qiang's sentencing be continued from April 15, 2013 through May 28, 2013.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
