13   KAREN CHAPON,
14                  Defendant.
15
16          IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between Jason M. Frierson,
17   United States Attorney, and Jessica Oliva, Assistant United States Attorney, counsel for the
18   United States of America, and Rene L. Valladares, Federal Public Defender, and Brian Pugh,

22          IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the parties, that they

24          IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the parties, that they

 1          The Stipulation is entered into for the following reasons:
 2          1.      The parties are attempting to negotiate a resolution of the case without the need
 3   for trial or pretrial motions. The parties need a short continuance of the motion deadlines to
 4   continue negotiations; however, the defendant needs to maintain her right to file pretrial
 5   motions in the event the negotiations are unsuccessful.
 6          2.      The defendant is not incarcerated and does not object to the continuance.
 7          3.      The parties agree to the continuance.
 8          4.      The additional time requested herein is not sought for purposes of delay, but
 9   merely to allow counsel for defendant sufficient time within which to be able to effectively
10   complete investigation of the discovery materials provided and to adequately consult with
11   defendant in order to determine whether the case will ultimately go to trial or be resolved
12   through a guilty plea.
13          This is the second stipulation to continue filed herein.
14          DATED this 20th day of July, 2023.

10          Based on the pending Stipulation of counsel, and good cause appearing therefore, the
11
     Court finds that:
12
            1.      The parties are attempting to negotiate a resolution of the case without the need
13
     for trial or pretrial motions. The parties need a short continuance of the motion deadlines to
14
     continue negotiations; however, the defendant needs to maintain her right to file pretrial
15
     motions in the event the negotiations are unsuccessful.
16
            2.      The defendant is not incarcerated and does not object to the continuance.
17
18          3.      The parties agree to the continuance.

19          4.      The additional time requested herein is not sought for purposes of delay, but
20   merely to allow counsel for defendant sufficient time within which to be able to effectively
21
     complete investigation of the discovery materials provided and to adequately consult with
22
     defendant in order to determine whether the case will ultimately go to trial or be resolved
23
24   through a guilty plea.

 1                                     CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
 2          The ends of justice served by granting said continuance outweigh the best interest of the
 3
     public and the defendant in a speedy trial, since the failure to grant said continuance would be
 4
     likely to result in a miscarriage of justice, would deny the parties herein sufficient time and the
 5
 6   opportunity within which to be able to effectively and thoroughly prepare for trial, taking into

 7   account the exercise of due diligence.
 8                                               ORDER
 9
            IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the parties herein shall have to and including July
10
     31, 2023, to file any and all pretrial motions and notices of defense.
11
            IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties herein shall have to and including August
12
     14, 2023, to file any and all responsive pleadings.
13
            IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties herein shall have to and including August
14
     21, 2023, to file any and all replies to dispositive motions.
