Date: February 26, 2020

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Judge: Hon. Jeremy D. Peterson

The parties, through their respective counsel, Susan St. Vincent, Acting Legal Officer, 

counsel for the government, and Benjamin A. Gerson, Assistant Federal Defender, counsel for the 

defendant, Martha Melgoza, hereby stipulate and jointly move this Court to continue Ms. 

Melgoza’s review hearing from February 26, 2020 until April 28, 2020. 

On March 6, 2018, Ms. Melgoza was sentenced by the Honorable Michael Seng to pay 

$390 per month to the California Franchise Tax Board towards unpaid fines then suspending her 

license. She was also ordered to complete DMV classes at Kingsview. Judge Seng’s sentence 

included a suspended sentence of 20 days in custody, permanently suspended on March 6, 2019.

The undersigned defense counsel, having spoken with Ms. Melgoza at length, believes Ms. 

Melgoza is in compliance with her obligations to the Franchise Tax Board and Kingsview. 

However, as of the instant stipulation there have been delays in gathering the necessary 

documentation for the court. The undersigned has discussed the issues with government counsel
