ORDER RESCHEDULING TRIAL

ELAYNA J. YOUCHAH, Magistrate Judge.

On August 20, 2019, parties filed a Stipulation to Continue Trial (first request).

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Bench Trial currently set for Wednesday, September 3, 2019, is rescheduled to Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. in LV Courtroom 3D before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elayna J. Youchah.

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE TRIAL

(First Request)

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Nicholas A. Trutanich, United States Attorney, and Rachel L. Kent, Special Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the United States of America, and Rene L. Valladares, Federal Public Defender, and Katherine Tanaka, Assistant Federal Public Defender, counsel for Defendant, that the trial currently scheduled on August 21, 2019, be vacated and continued to a date and time convenient to the Court, but no sooner than thirty (30) days.

This Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:

1. The parties are researching the viability of entering into a plea agreement. Said plea agreement would obviate the need for a trial in this matter. Counsel for the Defendant will need additional time to discuss the Defendant's options with him.

2. Defendant is not incarcerated and does not object to a continuance.

3. Denial of this request for a continuance of trial could would potentially prejudice both the Defendant and the Government and unnecessarily expend Court resources.

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

This is the first request for continuance filed herein.
