STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE
GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR., Senior District Judge.
It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between plaintiff United States of America, on the one hand, and Defendant Zachery Bastien, on the other hand, through their respective attorneys, that the status conference presently set for May 17, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., be continued by the Court to June 14, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., to allow defense counsel to review with his client a proposed resolution offer provided by the United States, research the potential consequences of the recently enacted First Step Act, and respond to the client's questions about the First Step Act's impact on sentencing options available to him, and to otherwise prepare Mr. Bastien's matter for a potential change of plea hearing.
This case involves, among other allegations, that both defendants participated in a conspiracy to structure monetary transactions (18 U.S.C.§ 371) and actual structuring of monetary transactions (31 U.S.C. § 5324(a)(3)). The matter is set as to both defendants for a jury trial scheduled to begin on January 21, 2020, with a Trial Confirmation Hearing set for December 6, 2019. This stipulation does not alter those dates.
Defendant Bastien's matter is set by itself for a status conference on May 17, 2019. Mr. Bastien's counsel is requesting continuance of the status conference. The government does not oppose the request to continue the status conference. Time under the Speedy Trial Act has previously been excluded, up to and including, the January 21, 2020 trial date (ECF Entry 55). No additional finding is necessary regarding exclusion of time.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Samuel Wong has reviewed this stipulation and authorized Attorney Todd D. Leras via email to sign it on his behalf.
