On January 20, 2015, Mr. Peterson was sentenced to 26 months imprisonment and 36 months supervised release; any applicable fine was waived but he was ordered to pay a $100.00 special assessment. He was ordered to surrender by March 17, 2015 by 2:00 pm to begin his term of imprisonment.

At a follow-up appointment, Mr. Peterson's physician emphasized to him the need for focused physical therapy for an anticipated duration of 6 more weeks and reviewed with him the need for care with respect to infectious disease exposures in the first 3 months following a total joint replacement.
I, William E. Bonham, the filing party, have received authorization from AUSA Justin Lee to sign and submit this stipulation and proposed order on his behalf. PTS Officer Ryan Garcia has been informed and has no objection to the proposed extension.
Accordingly, the parties stipulate and request that Mr. Peterson's self-surrender date be extended to Monday, June 1, 2015 by 2:00 pm.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Mr. Peterson's self-surrender date, currently set for Tuesday, March 17, 2015 by 2:00 pm, is extended to Monday, June 1, 2015 by 2:00 pm.
