STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING
GLORIA M. NAVARRO, Chief District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Telia U. Williams, Esq., counsel for the defendant, Leonardo Chavez Morales, and Brandon Jaroch, Esq., Assistant United States Attorney, that the Sentencing Hearing currently scheduled for February 16, 2018 at 10:00am, be continued to a future date no sooner than sixty (60) days after the schedule date and on a date and at a time convenient to the Court.
This Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Counsel for Mr. Chavez-Morales is in the process of commissioning a Spanish-language translator to translate the proposed Pre-Sentencing Report (PSR) into his native tongue so that he can read it himself, and make any corrections: The pre-sentencing report is lengthy and more time is needed in order to complete the translation and correct any errors.
2. The undersigned Assistant United States Attorney has no objection to the continuance.
3. The defendant is in custody and does not object to the continuance.
4. This is the first request for a continuance of the sentencing date.
ORDER
FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the Stipulation of counsel, and good cause appearing therefore, the court finds that the Stipulation by and between the United States and Leonardo Chavez-Morales is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Counsel for Mr. Chavez-Morales is having the current plea agreement translated into the defendants native language and more time is needed to accomplish this task.
4. The parties agree to the additional time.
5. This is the first request for a continuance of the sentencing date.
6. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.
For all of the above-stated reasons, the end of justice would best be served if Defendant's sentencing was rescheduled.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Sentencing Hearing currently scheduled for February 16, 2018 at 10:00am, be continued to Friday, April 20, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 7C.
