Attorney for defendant 

RUDY TAFOYA

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

RUDY TAFOYA,

Defendant.

No. 14-CR-00193-GEB

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE

Date: March 4, 2016 

Time: 9:00 am 

Judge: Hon. Garland E. Burrell, 

Jr.

Defendant, Rudy Tafoya, through his undersigned counsel, and 

the United States, through its undersigned counsel, hereby agree 

and request that the change of plea hearing currently set for 

Friday, March 4, 2016 at 9:00 am be vacated and reset for Friday, 

April 22, 2016 at 9:00 am. 

A continuance is necessary to allow defense counsel 

additional time to evaluate the case and hold discussions with 

his client and the Government regarding the plea agreement 

provided by the Government.

The parties further stipulate that the failure to grant a 

continuance in this matter would deny counsel reasonable time

necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the 

exercise of due diligence; that the ends of justice served by 

granting this continuance outweigh the best interest of the 

public and the defendant in a speedy trial; and that time should 

be excluded from the computation of time within which trial must 

commence under the Speedy Trial Act from March 4, 2016, up to and 

including April 22, 2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(A) 

and (B)(iv) and Local Code T-4, to allow defense counsel 

reasonable time to prepare.

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

authorization from AUSA Justin Lee to sign and submit this 

stipulation and proposed order on his behalf.

Accordingly, the defense and the United States agree and 

stipulate that the change of plea hearing for defendant Rudy 

Tafoya should be reset for Friday, April 22, 2016 at 9:00 am.

ORDER

The change of plea hearing currently set for Friday, March 

4, 2016 at 9:00 am is vacated and reset for Friday, April 22, 

2016, at 9:00 am. 

I find that the failure to grant such a continuance would 

deny counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, 

taking into account the exercise of due diligence. Accordingly, 

the time within which the trial of this case must be commenced 

under the Speedy Trial Act is excluded from March 4, 2016, up to 

and including the date of the new status conference, April 22, 

2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local 

Code T4. I specifically find that the ends of justice served by 

granting this continuance outweigh the best interest of the 

public and defendants in a speedy trial within the meaning of 18 

U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv) and Local Code T-4. IT IS SO 

ORDERED.
