1. The Government has provided a plea agreement to the defendant; additional time is needed to finalize the entry of the plea.

2. The defendant is in custody and agrees with the need for the continuance.

3. The parties agree to the continuance.

4. Additionally, denial of this request for continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice.

6. The additional time requested by this stipulation, is allowed, with the defendant's consent under the Federal Rules of Procedure 5.1 (d).

This is the eighth request for a continuance of the preliminary hearing.
