Stipulation to Continue Sentencing — No. 1:23-cr-00219 (Dkt. 197, E.D. Cal.)

Summary

A four-page Stipulation to Continue Sentencing with order, Document 197, filed 07/13/26 in United States v. Jia Bei Zhu, Case No. 1:23-cr-00219, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, signed by defense counsel Anthony Capozzi and Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph Barton and Arelis Clemente. The parties agree that sentencing set for August 24, 2026 be continued to October 26, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. before Judge Dale A. Drozd in Sacramento, because the Probation Office needs more time for the presentence report and defense counsel has a trial and leave. The agreed schedule runs from a draft report by August 31, 2026 and informal objections by September 14, 2026 to the final report by October 5, 2026, formal objections by October 12, 2026 and replies by October 19, 2026. Judge Drozd so ordered on July 10, 2026.

21            The parties agree that the sentencing in this case scheduled for August 24, 2026, should

22     be continued until October 26, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., before the Honorable Dale A. Drozd in

23     Courtroom 4 of the Sacramento Federal Courthouse. The Probation Office has informed the

24     parties that it needs more time to finish the defendant’s PSR. Defense counsel has also informed

25     the government that he has a trial in another federal drug case scheduled to begin at the end of

26     July 2026 that will likely proceed as scheduled and that he is then going on pre-planned leave in
27     September 2026. Therefore, he needs more time to prepare for the sentencing.
