IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Christopher Baker, counsel for plaintiff, and Assistant Federal Defender Erin Snider, counsel for defendant Jarrod Langford, that the sentencing hearing currently scheduled for September 4, 2018, be continued to October 22, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. The parties further stipulate that the Court may extend the deadline for informal objections to September 24, 2018, and the deadline for formal objections to October 9, 2018.

The defense is requesting this continuance because defense counsel is currently preparing for a jury trial scheduled to begin on August 29, 2018. See Declaration of Erin Snider. In addition, defense counsel has a number of other deadlines in August and September. See id. In light of defense counsel's trial schedule and other deadlines, defense counsel requires additional time to prepare informal objections, formal objections, and a sentencing memorandum. See id.
