HOWARD D. McKIBBEN, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Dayle Elieson, United States Attorney, and Jared Grimmer, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Rene L. Valladares, Federal Public Defender, and Sunethra Muralidhara, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for Mitchell Anthony Hooks, that the Sentencing Hearing currently scheduled on July 19, 2018 at 9:00 a.m., be vacated and continued to a date and time convenient to the Court, but no earlier than thirty (30) days.
This Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
1. Undersigned counsel was just re-assigned this new case.
2. Undersigned counsel will be out of the district on June 17 — July 1, 2018.

5. The parties agree to the continuance.
This is the first request for a continuance of the sentencing hearing.
