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-JAM 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE 

Defendant, Rudy Tafoya, by and through his undersigned 

counsel, and the United States, through its undersigned counsel, 

hereby agree and request that the status conference currently set 

for Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 9:15 am be vacated and reset for 

Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at 9:15 am as a change of plea hearing. 

A continuance is necessary to allow defense counsel 

additional time to evaluate the case, hold discussions with his 

client, and negotiations with the government toward a potential 

resolution of the charges. 

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 October 6, 2015, up to 

and including October 20, 2015, 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 her behalf. 

Accordingly, the defense and the United States agree and 

stipulate that the status conference for defendant Rudy Tafoya 

should be reset for Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at 9:15 am as a 

change of plea hearing.

ORDER 

The status conference currently set for Tuesday, October 6, 

2015 at 9:15 am is vacated and reset for Tuesday, October 20, 

2015, at 9:15 am as a change of plea hearing. 

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 October 6, 2015, up 

to and including the date of the new status conference, October 

20, 2015, 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.
