STIPULATION TO CONTINUE REVOCATION HEARING AND CONSOLIDATE CASES

JAMES C. MAHAN, District Judge.

It is stipulated and agreed to by and between Federal Public Defender Rene L. Valladares and Assistant Federal Public Defender Sylvia Irvin, counsel for Richard Joseph Chase, and United States Attorney Dayle Elieson and Assistant United States Attorney Daniel Cowhig, that the above-referenced cases should be consolidated for the setting of the Final Revocation Hearings at the same date and time as the Sentencing Hearing currently scheduled before District Judge James C. Mahan on January 11, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., See Case No. 2:18cr-00250-JCM-NJK, ECF No. 8.

This stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:

1. Petitions for Warrant for Offender Under Supervision were filed on May 31, 2018, in Case No. 2:16-cr-171-GMN-CWH (ECF No. 30), and on June 22, 2018, in Case No. 2:10-cr-568-GMN-PAL (ECF No. 74).

2. The Petition in Case No. 2:16-cr-171 (ECF No. 30) alleges three allegations against Mr. Chase, and the Petition in Case No. 2:10-cr-568 (ECF No. 74) alleges two allegations that are the same as the first two allegations in Case No. 2:16-cr-171. Final Revocation Hearings on the Petitions currently are scheduled for October 9, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. before District Judge Gloria M. Navarro. See Case No. 2:16-cr-171 (ECF No. 49); Case No. 2:10-cr-568-GMN-PAL (ECF No. 92).

3. On October 2, 2018, in Case No. 2:18-cr-00250-JCM-NJK, Mr. Chase waived indictment and entered a plea of guilty pursuant to a plea agreement to one count of felon in possession of a firearm. See Case No 2:18-cr-00250 (ECF Nos. 4-8). District Judge Mahan conditionally accepted Mr. Chase's guilty plea and scheduled the sentencing hearing for January 11, 2019. ECF No. 8.

4. At the end of the hearing, the parties advised that they would like to consolidate the sentencing hearing and revocation hearings. Id. The consolidation of the three cases will allow the parties to serve both the interests of justice and judicial economy. Consolidation will also allow the Court to impose sentence in all three matters on the same date, avoiding unanticipated or unintended complications in the later sentence computations by the United States Bureau of Prisons.

5. The parties respectfully request that the three cases be consolidated and there be one hearing on January 11, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., before District Judge Mahan.
