TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.
On December 19, 2008, Darence Jordan was sentenced in the above-captioned action. As part of his sentence, the Court denied Mr. Jordan the right to receive federal benefits but ordered their reinstatement upon certain conditions.
On April 4, 2019, Mr. Jordan filed a Notice of Motion and Motion to reinstate his federal benefits. On May 9, 2019, the government filed an opposition to the relief requested by Mr. Jordan.
Based on the issues raised by the government's opposition, counsel for Mr. Jordan needs additional time to obtain certain critical documents and research some reasonably nuanced areas of the law.
Upon consultation with AUSA Jason Hitt, he has no opposition to Mr. Jordan's requested continuance.
Plaintiff, United States, and Defendant, Darence Jordan, through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree and request the Court to re-set the date for the motion hearing in the above-mentioned case from May 16, 2019 to June 13, 2019 at 9:30 a.m..
Based on the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefrom, the Court hereby finds that the failure to grant a continuance of the date now set for the motion hearing in this case would deny respective counsel for both parties reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
Based on these findings and pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, the Court hereby adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order.
