EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

MICHAEL GIBSON, 

 Defendant. 

______________________________/ 

No. Cr.S. 13-00180-JAM 

STIPULATION AND 

 ORDER CONTINUING STATUS 

CONFERENCE 

Dated: December 16, 2014 

Time: 9:30 a.m. 

Judge: Hon. John A. Mendez 

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

respective counsel, WILLIAM S. WONG, Assistant United States Attorney, attorney for 

Plaintiff, and RACHELLE BARBOUR, attorney for Defendant, MICHAEL GIBSON, that the 

status conference set for Tuesday, October 28, 2014 be continued to Tuesday, December 16, 

2014 at 9:30 a.m. 

The reason for this continuance is that the government is obtaining a forensic computer 

analysis of the evidence in this case and defense counsel would like to review that evidence with 

the prosecutor. The continuance will permit the completion of that analysis and allow defense 

counsel time to discuss resolution with the government and Mr. Gibson. Also Mr. Wong has 

recently taken this case over from a departing AUSA and the defense needs additional time to 

present mitigation to Mr. Wong and discuss the case with him to explore a resolution. The

parties stipulate that the ends of justice served by the granting of such continuance outweigh the 

interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 

Speedy trial time is to be excluded from the date of this order through the date of the 

status conference set for December 16, 2014, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(B)(iv) 

[reasonable time to prepare] (Local Code T4).

O R D E R 

The Court, having received, read, and considered the stipulation of the parties, and good 

cause appearing therefrom, adopts the stipulation of the parties in its entirety as its order. The 

Court specifically finds that the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny counsel 

reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due 

diligence. The Court finds that the ends of justice to be served by granting the requested 

continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial. 

The Court orders that the time from the date of the parties’ stipulation, up to and 

including December 16, 2014, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial 

of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv) T4 (reasonable time for counsel to prepare). It is further ordered that the 

October 28th status conference shall be continued until December 16, 2014, at 9:30 a.m. 

DATED: October 24 , 2014
