Stipulation to Continue Government Response to Defense Motion to Suppress (ECF #23) (First Request)

CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney, and Jared L. Grimmer, Assistant United States Attorneys, counsel for the United States, and Brenda Weksler, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for defendant MICHAEL STEVEN SANDFORD, that the government's response date for the defendant's Motion to Suppress Statements (ECF #23) currently set for September 9, 2016, be continued for two weeks. The parties are currently in plea negotiations and seek to resolve this matter. If a plea is agreed to between the parties it will eliminate the need for a response to the motion and will conserve resources of the government and this Court. This is a joint recommendation of this Court by both parties.

This is the first request for continuance of a response date filed herein by Counsel.
