withdrawal of the motion by the defense; that the date currently 

set for judgment and sentencing on June 10, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. in 

Case No. 2:09-CR-0097 MCE be set instead at that date and time 

for arraignment and entry of plea in related Case No. 2:10-CR0180 MCE; and that a consolidated judgment and sentencing 

hearing in both cases be set for August 12, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. 

Counsel for both parties so stipulate and the United States 

Probation Officer assigned to this matter, Officer George 

Vidales, joins in the parties’ request regarding setting a new 

consolidated sentencing schedule. 

On March 24, 2010, Eric Clawson was convicted by jury 

verdict with interference with a federally protected activity in 

violation of 18 U.S.C. §245(b)(2)(F). (Case No. 2:09-CR-0097 

MCE; “the civil rights case”) On April 2, 2010, counsel for Mr. 

Clawson filed a motion for judgment of acquittal or, 

alternatively, for new trial. The hearing on the motion was 

continued by stipulation to May 27, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. 

On May 10, 2010 the government filed an Information 

charging Mr. Clawson with a violation of mail fraud, under 18 

U.S.C. §1341 and with criminal forfeiture. (Case No. 2:10-CR00180 MCE; “the mail fraud case”) Also on May 10, 2010, the 

government filed a request that the Court relate both cases 

against Mr. Clawson. The Court ordered both cases related on 

May 18, 2010. Mr. Clawson has not yet been arraigned on the 

mail fraud case. 

On May 11, 2010, defendant Eric Clawson and his counsel 

signed a global consolidated sentencing agreement and waiver of 

appeal in the civil rights case/plea agreement regarding the 

Case 2:09-cr-00097-MCE Document 139 Filed 05/27/10 Page 2 of 7

mail fraud case. The document was signed by AUSA Carlberg and 

filed in both the civil rights and the mail fraud case on May 

19, 2010. 

As part of the global sentencing and plea agreement on file 

in both cases, Mr. Clawson agrees to withdraw his motion for 

judgment of acquittal or for new trial in the civil rights case, 

Case No. 2:09-CR-0097. Mr. Clawson hereby withdraws the motion 

and requests the Court vacate the hearing date currently set for 

May 27, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.

The parties also stipulate and request that the Court 

continue the judgment and sentencing currently set in the civil 

rights case for June 10, 2010 at 9:00 a.m., to August 12, 2010 

at 9:00 a.m. for consolidated sentencing proceedings in both the 

civil rights and mail fraud case. Rather than vacating the June 

10 date, the parties also stipulate and request that the Court 

permit an appearance on June 10, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. for formal 

arraignment and entry of plea in connection with the mail fraud 

case. 

Finally, the parties stipulate to and request the following 

consolidated judgment and sentencing schedule in both cases: 

Proposed Presentence Report disclosed to counsel no later 

than: July 1, 2010

Counsel’s written objections to the Presentence Report 

shall be delivered to U.S. Probation Office and opposing 

counsel no later than: July 15, 2010 

Presentence Report to be filed with Court and disclosed to 

counsel no later than: July 22, 2010

Further, the parties also stipulate that, in accord with 

the above sentencing schedule, any sentencing memorandum shall 

be filed with the Court and served on opposing counsel by 5:00 

p.m. on August 5, 2010, seven calendar days in advance of the

thereto shall be filed with the Court and served on opposing 

counsel by 3:00 p.m. on August 9, 2010, three calendar days in 

advance of the date requested for judgment and sentencing. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
