v.

G. STEVEN BURRILL and MARC 

HOWARD BERGER

Defendants.

Case No. CR 17-491 RS

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CONTINUING SENTENCING HEARING

Hon. Richard Seeborg

Sentencing Date: December 4, 2018

WHEREAS, a sentencing hearing was originally scheduled for defendant G. Steven Burrill 

for September 25, 2018, with sentencing memoranda due to be filed on September 18, 2018;

WHEREAS, Mr. Burrill intends to include in his sentencing memorandum information

about sensitive matters not included in his Presentence Report;

WHEREAS, the Government does not oppose Mr. Burrill’s right to present such 

information but is requiring that such information be presented in a strictly confidential manner;

WHEREAS, because the parties believed that (1) additional time was necessary to resolve 

issues that have arisen concerning the sensitive information and the extent to and process by which 

it may be presented to and considered by the Court and (2) permitting such additional time would 

promote efficiency and the interests of justice, the parties stipulated that Mr. Burrill’s sentencing 

hearing be continued to October 16, 2018, or as soon thereafter as the Court’s calendar may

permit;

WHEREAS, the Court thereafter continued the sentencing hearing to October 16, 2018;

WHEREAS, the Court, for the same reasons stated above and upon the parties’ stipulation, 

thereafter again continued the sentencing hearing to December 4, 2018;

WHEREAS, the parties continue to work toward resolving the above-referenced issues,

Burrill can present the aforementioned sensitive information to the Court;

WHEREAS, it is now clear that the appropriate procedures necessary for presenting the 

sensitive information will not be completed by the time of the sentencing hearing to be held on 

December 4, 2018; and

WHEREAS, the parties continue to believe that additional time is necessary to resolve 

these issues and that permitting such additional time would promote efficiency and the interests of 

justice;

THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated and agreed, by and between the parties hereto and 

their counsel of record, that Mr. Burrill’s sentencing hearing be continued to January 22, 2019, or 

as soon thereafter as the Court’s calendar may permit.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
