As a result, the government anticipates calling several witnesses during the

sentencing hearing scheduled for July 13, 2012. 5. Lead counsel for the government Kevin Mulcahy will be out of the office from

July 10 through July 13, 2012. Additionally, co-counsel for the government Douglas Salzenstein has a trial scheduled to begin on July 17, 2012 and will not be available for an evidentiary sentencing hearing on July 13, 2012. 6. Additionally, the parties have been engaged in discussions regarding certain

forfeiture issues, including forfeiture issues related to numerous firearms as well as U.S. currency. The parties need additional time to properly address and resolve these complex issues. 7. The government and the defendant, therefore, seek an extension of time in order for

the reasons stated above. Accordingly, the parties request that the Court adjourn the defendants sentencing date for a period of at least forty-five (45) days.

IT IS SO STIPULATED. s/Douglas C. Salzenstein Douglas C. Salzenstein Assistant United States Attorney 211 W.
