STIPULATION CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE; ORDER

LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, Chief District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and through the parties through their respective counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Dawrence Rice, Counsel for Plaintiff, and Assistant Federal Defender Peggy Sasso, Counsel for Defendant Ralph Perez Garza, that the status conference currently scheduled for June 18, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. be continued to Monday, September 24, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. before the Honorable Lawrence J. O'Neill.

On May 30, 2018, Ralph Garza graduated from the Salvation Army in-patient treatment program. See Exhibit A. Defense counsel represents that Mr. Garza has elected to remain at the Salvation Army and enroll in their after-treatment transitional programing where he will reside in their sober living home. It is defense counsel's understanding that Mr. Garza will be able to remain in the Salvation Army's sober living home for up to six months. Mr. Garza's Probation Officer, John Green, reports that he has been in contact with Mr. Garza following his graduation and confirms that Mr. Garza is doing well and is in compliance.

The reason for the continuance is that the state case on which the alleged new law violation is based is continuing to be litigated in state court and resolution of the matter appears to be at least several months out. Because Mr. Garza is doing well, continues to reside at the Salvation Army on his own initiative, and is in regular communication with his Probation Officer, the parties agree that in the interests of judicial efficiency the resolution of the pending petition should be continued to permit resolution of his pending case in state court.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
