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, February 24, 2015 at 9:30 am be vacated and reset for Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 

9:15 am. 

A continuance is necessary to allow defense counsel additional time to meet with the 

government and defendant regarding ongoing discussions toward a possible negotiated 

settlement. Additional time is necessary due Defense counsel’s present caseload demands 

including a Ninth Circuit appellate brief due as well as preparations for an attempted murder trial 

in the Sacramento County Superior Court that is scheduled to commence on February 26, 2015. 

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 

February 24, 2015, up to and including April 21, 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 continued until Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 9:15

ORDER 

IT IS SO ORDERED. The status conference currently set for Tuesday, February 24, 2015 

at 9:30 am is vacated and continued to Tuesday, April 21, 2015, at 9:15 am. 

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 February 24, 2015, up to and including the date of the new status 

conference, April 21, 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. 

Dated: 

February 20, 2015
