Attorneys for Defendant ROY ALBERT LEWIS 

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 (1) HEARING AND 

DEFENDANT’S REPLY ON 

MOTION FOR JUDGMENT OF 

ACQUITTAL OR FOR NEW 

TRIAL; AND (2) SENTENCING 

HEARING 

 

Due to the trial and pre-planned vacation schedules of counsel for both parties as 

well as the anticipated completion date of the Presentence Report (“PSR”) and briefing 

thereon, the undersigned counsel for plaintiff United States of America (“the government”) 

and defendant Roy Albert Lewis (“defendant”) respectfully request that this Court grant a 

continuance of (1) the hearing for defendant’s Motion for Judgment of Acquittal Pursuant to 

Fed. R. Crim. P. 29 or for New Trial Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 33 (“Motion for New 

Trial”); (2) the due date for defendant’s reply brief on the Motion for New Trial; and (3) the 

sentencing hearing. 

Currently, hearing on the Motion for New Trial is set for September 8, 2006 with the 

defendant’s reply brief due on September 5, 2006. The sentencing hearing is set for 

October 27, 2006. Counsel for both parties respectfully request that these dates be

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CASE NO.: CR 05 00638 SI 

continued for the following reasons: 

Government counsel Edward E. Russo is previously committed to pretrial 

preparation meetings with witnesses in Riverside, California on September 8, 2006, which 

presents a conflict with the currently scheduled hearing on the Motion for New Trial in this 

case. Mr. Russo is set to be in trial on that matter, United States v. Shollenburg, CR-03-

018-RSWL (C.D. Cal.), until an anticipated date of late November 2006. Robert J. 

Livermore will also be unavailable during this time period. 

As previously reported, on September 11, 2006, defendant’s counsel, Michael J. 

Shepard, is scheduled to begin trial in United States v. McCall, No. CR-00-0505-MJJ (N.D. 

Cal.). Mr. Shepard anticipates that the McCall trial will be completed by early December 

2006. Defendant’s other counsel, Megan Dixon, will be out of the country from next week 

until early October. 

Additionally, Probation has informed counsel that the October 27 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 her office is currently overwhelmed 

with work and any extension on the PSR/sentencing hearing deadlines would be welcome. 

Ms. Richards is in agreement with moving the sentencing date to early January, but is not 

available the first week of that month, and has suggested that January 12 would be the best 

date for her. That date would also work for counsel for both parties. 

Therefore, counsel jointly HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE and respectfully 

request that the Court extend the post-trial briefing and hearing schedule as follows: 

o The Motion for New Trial hearing be continued from September 8, 2006 to 

December 8, 2006. 

o The due date for defendant’s reply brief for the Motion for New Trial be 

continued from September 5, 2006 to September 7, 2006.1

 The government’s response to defendant’s Motion for New Trial is due on Friday, 

September 1, 2006, which is on the eve of the Labor Day holiday weekend. The current due 

date for defendant’s reply brief is Tuesday, September 5, 2006, which is the day

and Sentencing Memoranda due on January 5, 2007.
