JOINT STATUS REPORT RE: TEEN CHALLENGE PROGRAM; EXHIBIT A; REQUEST TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE OR WAIVE APPEARANCE; ORDER
DALE A. DROZD, District Judge.
Defendant Carmen Garcia, by and through her attorney of record, Assistant Federal Defender Megan T. Hopkins, and counsel for the Government, Assistant United States Attorney Laurel Montoya, hereby submit the following status report regarding Ms. Garcia's progress at the Teen Challenge program in Bakersfield, CA.
Ms. Garcia entered the Teen Challenge program on November 1, 2018. It is a 13-month program, with optional extension as determined necessary by program staff. It is anticipated that Ms. Garcia will remain at the program's facility until completion in December 2019. Amanda Lejeck, the induction and outreach coordinator for the Teen Challenge program, provided this counsel with a letter confirming Ms. Garcia's current residence and full participation in the Teen Challenge program on February 20, 2019.1
In the letter, Ms. Lejeck writes that Ms. Garcia has shown "tremendous growth" at the program, and is one of their "best students." Ms. Garcia has completed the group study coursework and is transitioning to the next phase of the program. In light of Ms. Garcia's progress in the program and ongoing participation, the parties request that the status conference in this matter be continued to August 5, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. for a further status report regarding Ms. Garcia's progress in the program. Alternatively, should the Court prefer to hold the hearing as currently scheduled, the parties agree that Ms. Garcia's personal appearance at the status conference currently set for Monday, March 4, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. should be waived, so that she need not absent herself from the program in order to attend the hearing.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED. The status conference currently scheduled for March 4, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. is hereby continued to August 5, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Defendant need not appear at that hearing if she is still residing at the program and participating as directed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
