STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING DATE TO OCTOBER 28, 2016

JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

The above-captioned matter is set on August 26, 2016 before this Honorable Court for sentencing. The parties jointly request that the Court continue this matter to October 28, 2016, at 9:30 a.m., for sentencing.

On May 27, 2016, Mr. Zeigler pleaded guilty to a superseding indictment, and he is scheduled to appear before the Court for a sentencing hearing late next month. The defense needs additional time with the presentence investigation process and requests a short continuance. Because of defense counsel's vacation schedule in June, the probation office was unable to complete Mr. Zeigler's interview until mid-July. In addition, the defense needs time to obtain mitigation records to provide to the probation office for the report. For these reasons, the defense requests additional time for the presentence investigation process.

The parties agree that it is appropriate to continue this case until October 28, 2016. Defense counsel contacted Jessica Goldsberry who is the probation officer assigned to this case. Ms. Goldsberry supports this continuance and is available on October 28, 2016. Finally, because Mr. Zeigler has pleaded guilty, the parties are in agreement that the Speedy Trial Act does not apply.

ORDER

Based on the reasons provided in the stipulation of the parties above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the sentencing hearing date of August 26, 2016 is vacated and reset to October 28, 2016, at 9:30 a.m.
