Case No. 1:12-CR-00420-DAD-BAM

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO CONTINUE 

SENTENCING; ORDER

Judge: Hon. Dale A. Drozd

Defendant John Alan Williams, through undersigned counsel, hereby requests that the 

sentencing hearing currently scheduled for December 5, 2016 be continued one week, to 

December 12, 2016. The defense has conferred with AUSA Brian Enos regarding this motion. 

The government takes no position, either for or against Mr. Williams’ request. The parties agree 

that the court may rule on this motion without any hearing.

Mr. Williams resides in the small, rural town of Canyonville, Oregon. He has been 

travelling to court by Greyhound bus, but his family would like to travel with Mr. Williams and 

be present at sentencing. The family car is in need of repair and Mr. Williams is in the process of 

installing a new transmission. He is uncertain whether the repairs will be completed in time to 

allow his family to accompany him at the currently scheduled sentencing date. Mr. Williams 

requests that this short continuance be granted to permit the presence of his family.
