MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE

Date: February 27, 2007

Time: 2:00 p.m.

Court: The Honorable Joseph C. Spero

The parties hereby stipulate and request as follows;

1. On January 30, 2007, this Court continued sentencing in the aforementioned

matter;

2. On or about February 6, 2007, defense counsel communicated with Dr. Rosenthal

and indicated that the Court required a report from the treating doctor by February

27, 2007. Dr. Rosenthal indicated that she needed to consult with her supervisors

and would return the telephone call;

3. On or about February 9, Dr. Rosenthal called defense counsel and indicated in a

telephone message that she had consulted with her superiors and she needed a

Court order to write and release the report. This was the first time defense

counsel had heard that Dr. Rosenthal needed a Court order to write and release a

report;

4. On February 12, 2007, defense counsel filed a request for a Court Order directing

Dr. Rosenthal to write and release the report;

5. On or about February 13, 2007, defense counsel faxed and mailed the Court order

to Dr. Rosenthal;

6. On or about February 20, 2007, Dr. Rosenthal called again and indicated that she

was finished with the report, but that she needed an address to mail the report. At

that time, she also indicated that she needed Mr. Gate to sign off on the report. 

This was the first time defense counsel had learned of this requirement;

7. On or about February 20, 2007, undersigned counsel left a message for Mr. Gate

to call his treating physician, and reminding him of the sentencing on February 27,

2007. Mr. Gate responded the same day, and said it was the first time that he had

heard of the sentencing, and that he could not arrange travel to come to San

Francisco February 27, 2007;

8. Because defense counsel has been in trial, she cannot remember what day and

time she initially called Mr. Gate regarding the new sentencing date. As such,

defense counsel assumes responsibility for not letting Mr. Gate know about his

new sentencing date three weeks in advance;;

9. USPO Sara Black called Dr. Rosenthal today, February 26, 2007. According to

USPO Black, Dr. Rosenthal is faxing the report to San Francisco today;

10. When defense counsel called AUSA Tracie Brown about this stipulation, she

learned that Ms. Brown received a call from counsel at the VA Clinic that the

report was mailed to a “Ms. Portman” last week to the attention of the Office of

the Federal Defender. To date, defense counsel has not received the report;

11. The parties thus stipulate and jointly request that tomorrow’s court appearance,

February 27, 2007, be treated as a status conference; that the Court waive Mr.

Gate’s appearance, and that the parties discuss the report prepared by Ms.

Rosenthal and determine whether or not the Rosenthal report provides the Court

with adequate information for the Court to meaningfully exercise its sentencing

authority prior to Mr. Gate’s travel to San Francisco.
