It is hereby stipulated and agreed to between the United

States of America, through KENNETH J. MELIKIAN, Assistant U.S.

Attorney, and the defendant, RONALD HOPKINS, by and through his

counsel, ROCHELLE BARBOUR, Assistant Federal Defender, that the 

motions schedule be modified to continue the due date of the

government’s opposition brief from January 19, 2007, to January

26, 2007. This would necessitate a continuance of the

defendant’s reply brief from February 9, 2007, to February 16,

2007. The hearing date of February 23, 2007, should not be

affected. 

The reason for this requested continuance is that, upon the

U.S. Attorney’s Office, this case was reassigned to Assistant

U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Melikian yesterday. AUSA Melikian

obviously would not be able to file the government’s brief on its

current due date of today. 

AUSA Melikian will make every effort to file the

government’s brief by January 26, 2007. If he is unable to do

so, the court will be notified on or before that date, and a new

briefing schedule and hearing date will be proposed. 

 Accordingly, the parties request that the government’s

opposition to the defendant’s motion be filed by January 26,

2007, and that the defendant’s reply to that opposition by filed

by February 16, 2007. The parties further request that a hearing

on the defendant’s motion, as well as a status conference, be

held on February 23, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. 

DATED: January 19, 2007 Respectfully submitted,

 McGREGOR W. SCOTT
