STIPULATION TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING; DECLARATION OF ERIN M. SNIDER

LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, Chief District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Vincenza Rabenn, counsel for plaintiff, and Assistant Federal Defender Erin Snider, counsel for defendant Andrew Adam Gomez, that the sentencing hearing currently scheduled for December 17, 2018, be continued to January 7, 2018, at 8:30 a.m.

The defense is requesting this continuance because defense counsel is currently preparing for a jury trial scheduled to begin on December 11, 2018. See Declaration of Erin Snider. Defense counsel recently learned that additional investigation is needed before sentencing in this matter and, given her current schedule, she is unable to devote the necessary time to such investigation before the current December 17, 2018 sentencing date. Id.
