STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR., Senior District Judge.

The United States of America, through its counsels of record, Mc Gregory W. Scott, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California, and Jason Hitt, Assistant United States Attorney, and defendant Sherlyn Charles, through her attorney, Ronald Peters, Esq, hereby stipulate and agree that the sentencing scheduled for September 21, 2018 at 9:00 am shall be continued to October 26, 2018 at 9:00 am.

Defendant needs additional time to prepare a Memorandum in Aid of Sentencing primarily addressing 3553 factors.

Accordingly the defendant agrees that a Local Rule T-4 exclusion would be applicable.

Parties agree that time should be excluded pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), and Local Code T-4 — reasonable time to prepare and for continuity of counsel. The parties agree that time be excluded under this provision September 21, 2018 through October 26, 2018.

ORDER

The Court, having considered the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. Based on the stipulation of the parties, the Court finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny defense counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and defendant continuity of counsel. The Court specifically finds that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the interests of the public and that the time from the date of the stipulation, September 21, 2018, to and including October 26, 2018.

It is so ordered.
