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 and Defendant Zachery Bastien, through their respective attorneys, that the status conference presently set for July 12, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., be continued by the Court to September 6, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. Defense counsel is requesting the continuance to allow the parties to negotiate and finalize the terms of a proposed resolution, for defense counsel to continue research regarding the potential consequences of the recently enacted First Step Act upon any sentence imposed in this case, and to 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 Mr. Bastien 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 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.
The government does not oppose the defense 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 54). No additional finding is necessary regarding exclusion of time.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Khasigian authorized Attorney Todd D. Leras via telephone call to sign this stipulation on his behalf.
