STIPULATION AND ORDER

REQUESTING CONTINUANCE OF

TIME FOR FILING OF UNITED

STATE’S OPPOSITION BRIEF

The parties last appeared before this Court on November 15, 2006. At that time, the Court

denied the Defendant’s motion to Dismiss and set a briefing schedule in this matter regarding the

Defendant’s Motion to Suppress.

In the original briefing schedule, the United States was to file its Opposition to the

defendant’s Motion to Suppress by January 3, 2007. The defendant would file a Reply brief on

January 17, 2007 and the Court would convene a hearing on January 24, 2007. Originally, the

United States agreed to this briefing schedule. 

The United States now petitions this Court for one additional week in which to prepare its

Opposition to defendant Jacob Johnson’s (“Johnson”) Motion to Suppress. The United States

makes this request due to personal and professional considerations.

Since the parties’ last appearance on November 15, 2006, counsel for the United States has

had a medical issue involving a family member requiring time away from the office pursuant to

the Family Medical Leave Act. Government counsel is still involved in assisting with and caring

for this family member. 

 Moreover, counsel for the United States was out of the office from December 22, 2006

through December 28, 2006. On December 28, 2006, government counsel learned that the case

agent assigned to this matter, Special agent Roger E. Roberts (“Roberts”), is out of the state on a

protective detail serving the Vice President of the United States. Robert’s assistance is required

in order for the government to prepare its Opposition. Roberts is expected to return on or before

January 2, 2007. Roberts availability, however, may be further impacted by the fact that

President George W. Bush has declared January 2, 2007, a national day of mourning on behalf of

former President Gerald Ford. It is therefore likely that once Roberts returns to California, he

will remain unavailable as he may be required to assist with this detail.

Mr. Scott E. Morgan, who represents Johnson, has indicated that he has no objection to the

United State’s request for a one week extension of time. Mr. Morgan requested that we maintain

January 17, 2007 as the date by which the defendant will file a Reply and January 24, 2007 as

the date set for hearing. 

On December 28, 2006, government counsel left a voicemail message for Assistant Federal

Public Defender Joshua Cohen. Mr. Cohen’s voicemail message indicates that he is out of the

office through January 2, 2007. As of this writing, government counsel has not heard from Mr.

Cohen.

The parties now agree that the United States will file its Opposition to the defendant’s

motion by January 10, 2007. The defendant will file his Reply to the Government’s Opposition
