    MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF SENTENCING HEARING

      Stacy Higa, by and through counsel hereby respectfully moves this

Honorable Court for a brief continuance of the sentencing hearing in his

matter presently scheduled for January 13, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. EST, to either

February 2nd, 3rd, 7th or 11th at the same hour now scheduled.

      The reason for the request is to allow counsel to be present with Mr.

Higa during the video hearing.

      Counsel will be required to travel by air to be present with Mr. Higa

for his sentencing. Hawaii has been undergoing very high COVID infection

numbers since January 1 due to the holidays. The level just announced

today is a State record. See

      Counsel is hesitant to travel next week due to the high COVID

counts. My client understands the situation and concurs in this request.

      Further, I have conferred with Ms. Goemaat and she does not oppose

a brief continuance until either February 2nd, 3rd, 7th or 11th at the same hour

now scheduled.

      DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, January 6, 2022.
