UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Plaintiff, 

 v. 

LEROY ALBERT LEWIS, 

ROY ALBERT LEWIS, 

Defendants. 

Case No.: CR 05 00638 SI 

STIPULATED CONTINUANCE 

AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

REGARDING SENTENCING 

HEARING AND HEARING ON 

GOVERNMENT’S MOTION FOR 

DEFENDANT TO PAY 

ATTORNEY’S FEES AND 

EXPENSES 

 

The defendant Roy Albert Lewis has been working diligently to cooperate with the 

IRS and to prepare for both the deadline to submit materials to Probation (currently set for 

November 28, 2006) and the sentencing hearing (currently set for January 12, 2007). 

Despite Mr. Lewis’s best efforts, he has not yet been able to make as much progress as he 

had hoped on these tasks due in part to the failure of an accountant retained to assist him to 

provide service on a timely basis and Mr. Lewis therefore respectfully requests that this 

Court grant a short continuance of the sentencing hearing from January 12, 2007 to 

February 23, 2007. 

Additionally, Probation has informed counsel that the January 12, 2007 sentencing 

date would place a significant burden on their office to get the PSR finished timely on the 

current schedule. Counsel has conferred with Lynn Richards, the Probation Officer

assigned to this matter, and she has represented that any extension on the PSR/sentencing 

hearing deadlines would be welcome. Ms. Richards is in agreement with moving the 

sentencing date to February 23, 2007. 

Thus, Mr. Lewis respectfully requests on behalf of himself and Probation that the 

sentencing hearing be continued from January 12, 2007 to February 23, 2007. This would 

make objections to the PSR due on January 29, 2007 and Sentencing Memoranda due on 

February 16, 2007. Additionally, Mr. Lewis respectfully requests to move the hearing on 

the government’s Motion for Defendant to Pay Attorney’s Fees and Expenses from January 

12, 2007 to February 23, 2007 since this motion is tied to sentencing related issues. 

The government has no objection to continuing the sentencing hearing and the 

hearing on the government’s Motion for Defendant to Pay Attorney’s Fees and Expenses. 

The government is available on February 23, 2007, to attend these hearings. 

Finally, both parties respectfully request that if the Court grants this request that the 

Court also document the exclusion of time from calculations under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 

U.S.C. § 3161, from January 12, 2007 through February 23, 2007.

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CASE NO.: CR 05 00638 SI 

The Court hereby finds and holds as follows: 

1. Mr. Lewis understands and agrees to the exclusion of time from calculations 

under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, from January 12, 2007 through February 23, 

2007, based upon the need for Mr. Lewis to have additional time to cooperate with the IRS 

and prepare for both the deadline to submit materials to Probation and the sentencing 

hearing, as well as for Probation to adequately prepare a PSR. 

2. The attorneys for Mr. Lewis join in the request to exclude time under the Speedy 

Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, from January 12, 2007 through February 23, 2007, for all the 

above reasons, and believe the exclusion of time is necessary for Mr. Lewis to have 

additional time to cooperate with the IRS and prepare for both the deadline to submit 

materials to Probation and the sentencing hearing, as well as for Probation to adequately 

prepare a PSR. The attorneys for Mr. Lewis further believe that the exclusion is in Mr. 

Lewis’s best interest and further agree that the exclusion under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 

U.S.C. § 3161, should be from January 12, 2007 to February 23, 2007. 

Given the above circumstances, the Court finds that the ends of justice served by 

excluding the period from January 12, 2007 through February 23, 2007, outweigh the best 

interests of the public and Mr. Lewis in a speedy trial under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3161(h)(8)(A) & (B)(iv). 

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that: 

• The time from January 12, 2007 through February 23, 2007, is excluded from 

time calculations under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161. 

• The sentencing hearing is continued from January 12, 2007 to February 23, 2007. 

• Objections to the PSR are due on January 29, 2007 and Sentencing Memoranda 

due on February 16, 2007.
