UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF,v.JOSE SANCHEZ, DEFENDANT.
It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between plaintiff United States of America, on the one hand, and defendant Jose Sanchez, aka Juan Madrigal and Miguel Mejia Ayala, on the other hand, through their respective attorneys, that: (1) the presently set July 19, 2010, status conference shall be continued to August 23, 2010, at 10:00 a.m.; (2) time from the date of the parties' stipulation, July 15, 2010, through, and including, August 23, 2010, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(ii) and (iv) and Local Codes T2 (complex and unusual case) and T4 (reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare); and (3) time from the date of the last status conference hearing on April 26, 2010, to July 19, 2010, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this matter must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(ii) and (iv) and Local Codes T2 (complex and unusual case) and T4 (reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare).
The parties note that defendant Jose Sanchez is the same person charged as defendant Juan Madrigal and Miguel Mejia Ayala, in United States v. Juan Madrigal, et al., Case No. 2:09-CR-401 FCD, and District Judge Frank C. Damrell related the instant case to that case on October 15, 2009.
In addition, in the related case, the United States has produced substantial discovery to defense counsel, Gilbert Roque, Esq, and he will need additional time to review the discovery. There have been interviews of both defendants conducted in the Spanish language and those interviews must be translated to the English language; and there is significant discovery to be reviewed by the attorneys and translated through an English/Spanish interpreter for this Spanish-speaking defendant.
Furthermore, Mr. Roque, will need to perform additional work in the instant case as there is additional significant discovery, including approximately 823 pages, five cassette tape recordings, two compact disks, and a videotape, that Mr. Roque will need to review in order to defend his client's interests. Mr. Roque will need to review the transcript of approximately 1,304 pages in the trial of co-defendant Esequiel Quesada Garcia in Case No. 2:02-CR-519 FCD, to help him prepare his client's defense. Again, there will be significant discovery to be reviewed and translated through an English/Spanish interpreter for Mr. Roque's Spanish-speaking client. It is Mr. Roque's desire to attempt to resolve both cases as part of a comprehensive resolution, if possible. Consequently, it is Mr. Roque's belief that the unusual and complex nature of Case No. 2:09-CR-401 FCD spills over to the instant case and renders the instant case unusual and complex.
Also, on behalf of his client, Mr. Roque has requested that the United States Probation Office prepare pre-plea presentence reports to help his client understand the possible ramifications from a guilty plea. It is the understanding of the parties that the Probation Office will soon release the pre-plea presentence report to the respective parties. However, Mr. Roque desires additional time to explain the pre-plea presentence report to his client and the consequences of a guilty plea.
Finally, both the United States and Mr. Roque on behalf of his client agree that at the last status conference hearing on April 26, 2010, the parties requested the Court exclude time from April 26, 2010, to July 19, 2010, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(ii) and (iv) and Local Codes T2 (complex and unusual case) and T4 (reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare) in the instant case in the same manner as the Court did so in the related case. However, perhaps as a result of inadvertent oversight, the Court minutes for the instant case do not reflect any appearance on the April 26, 2010, date or any Speedy Trial Act exclusion. Accordingly, both the United States and defendant Jose Sanchez stipulate and agree that the Court should exclude time under the Speedy Trial Act nunc pro tunc from April 26, 2010, to July 19, 2010, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(ii) and (iv) and Local Codes T2 (complex and unusual case) and T4 (reasonable time for defense counsel to prepare).
Based on these facts, the parties stipulate and agree that the instant case is unusual and complex and it is unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings and trial itself within the time limits established in § 3161. In addition, the parties stipulate and agree that the trial delay and exclusion of time requested herein is necessary to provide defense counsel reasonable time to prepare his client's defense taking into account the exercise of due diligence.
