 A continuance is necessary to provide counsel with additional time for 

continued case preparation and for ongoing plea and sentencing negotiations. 

 The parties also stipulate that time should be excluded under the Speedy 

Trial Act due to needs of counsel for continued case preparation and ongoing plea 

and sentencing negotiations. Local Code T4 & 18 U.S.C § 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv). 

I, William E. Bonham, the filing party, have received authorization from 

AUSA Richard Bender to sign and submit this stipulation and proposed order on 

his behalf and that defense counsel has authorization from his respective client. 

Accordingly, the defense and the United States agree and stipulate that the 

status conference for defendant, Sheldon Linhares, should be continued until 

Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. The parties stipulate that the ends of justice 

served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and 

defendant in a Speedy Trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).

 ORDER

 IT IS SO ORDERED THAT THE status conference for defendant, Sheldon 

Linhares, currently set for Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. should be vacated 

and continued to Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. 

I find that the continuance is necessary due to the needs of counsel for 

continued case preparation and plea/sentencing negotiations. Accordingly, time is 

excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, due to needs of counsel for additional case 

preparation and ongoing plea/ sentencing negotiations, from May 27, 2010 up to 

and including June 10, 2010 pursuant to Local Code T4 and 18 U.S.C. § 

3161(h)(7)(B)(iv). I find that the ends of justice served by granting this 

continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and defendant in a speedy trial. 

18 U.S.C. § 3161(h) (7)(A). 

Dated: May 26, 2010
