STIPULATION TO SENTENCING (Sixth Request)

ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between, the United States of America, through the undersigned, together with Monti J. Levy, counsel for defendant BOBBY THOMPSON, that the sentencing hearing currently scheduled for November 1, 2019 at 10:00 a.m., be vacated and reset to a date and time convenient to the Court but no sooner than 120 days.

This stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:

1. The parties need additional time to determine their positions regarding sentencing, gather and prepare support for their positions, file sentencing memoranda and prepare for argument.

2. The Defendant is currently incarcerated and does not object to the continuance.

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

4. The additional time requested by this Stipulation is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.

5. This is the sixth request for a continuance of the sentencing hearing.

ORDER

The ends of justice served by granting said continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy sentencing, since the failure to grant said continuance would be likely to result in a miscarriage of justice, would deny the parties herein sufficient time and the opportunity within which to be able to effectively and thoroughly prepare for sentencing, taking into account the exercise of due diligence.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that sentencing in the above-captioned matter currently scheduled for November 1, 2019 at 10:00 a.m., be vacated and continued to March 31, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 6C.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
