IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their 

respective counsel that the sentencing hearing currently scheduled for July 18, 2016, may be 

continued to August 1, 2016 at 8:30 a.m., or the soonest date thereafter that is convenient to the 

court. 

The government has agreed to recommend that Mr. Thomas be sentenced to a term of 

imprisonment at the low end of the advisory guideline range; however, the PSR recommends that 

Mr. Thomas be sentenced at the high end of the range. The AUSA assigned to this case will be 

out of the office on the currently scheduled sentencing date, and will not be available until 

August 1, 2018. Mr. Thomas requests that this matter be continued to allow the assigned AUSA 

to be present at sentencing.

The parties agree that the delay resulting from this request shall be excluded in the
