STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING

YVONNE GONZALEZ ROGERS, District Judge.

The above-captioned matter is set on April 18, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. before the Hon. Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers for sentencing. The parties request that the Court vacate this date and reset the matter for sentencing on specially set date of Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 2:00pm.

Ms. Firmeza pleaded guilty to a charge of bank fraud relating to the misrepresentation of income on loan applications for two residential properties. One of the residential properties was sold in foreclosure. The other has been set for trustee's sale at various times, but has never been sold. Ms. Firmeza is now in the process of attempting to effectuate a short sale on that property.

According to Ms. Firmeza's real estate agent, they have completed most of what is required for the short sale and are now just waiting for the bank to complete its due diligence. There is no fixed date by which the bank needs to respond and Ms. Firmeza's real estate agent has informed counsel that the bank could respond in a matter of weeks, or a matter of months. Ms. Firmeza's real estate agent is motivated to conclude the deal and has been diligent about contacting the bank's agent in an attempt to speed up this process.

The parties, including Probation, agree to a continuance to allow Ms. Firmeza the opportunity to complete a short sale of the property — a successful sale could clarify restitution issues that are currently outstanding.

SO STIPULATED.

For good cause shown, the sentencing hearing set for April 18, 2013 is continued to June 12, 2013; at 2:00 p.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
