STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR FILING OF MOTIONS IN LIMINE
JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.
This case is presently set for a pretrial conference on January 20, 2017 and for jury trial on March 6, 2017. The Court's Standing Order for All Criminal Cases and Local Criminal Rule 17.1-1 set forth certain deadlines associated with the pretrial conference date. Specifically, in light of the pretrial conference date, the local rules require the submission of a pretrial conference statement by January 13, 2017. The Court's standing order requires the submission of the parties' proposed voir dire questions and jury instructions by January 13, 2017 and the submission of motions in limine by this Friday, January 6, 2017.
Counsel for the Defendant has advised counsel for the Government that she is nearly positive that Mr. Duarte will elect to forego his right to a jury trial and instead plead guilty in this case. However, Mr. Duarte is in pretrial detention and his counsel does not anticipate being able to visit him and confirm this wish until at least Friday, January 6, 2017. In the event Mr. Duarte confirms he wishes to plead guilty, the parties intend to immediately file a stipulation asking the Court to vacate the trial date and instead set the matter for a change of plea at the time presently set for the pretrial conference.
In light of the foregoing, and in the interests of judicial economy and conservation of government resources, the United States hereby requests that the Court extend the deadline for the filing of motions in limine from January 6, 2017, to January 11, 2017, and the deadline for any responses thereto to January 17, 2017. Counsel for the Defendant, Linda Fullerton, concurs in this request.
Respectfully submitted this 4th day of January, 2017.
[PROPOSED] ORDER
In the interests of judicial economy, and for good cause shown, the deadline for the filing of motions in limine in the above-captioned cause is hereby extended through and including January 11, 2017. If a party wishes to file a written response to a motion in limine, any such response must be filed by January 17, 2017.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
