UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Case No. 20-cr-20413
Plaintiff,
v. Hon. Linda V. Parker
D-1 ERIC J. SMITH,
Defendant.
/
STIPULATED ORDER ADJOURNING PLEA HEARING
NOW COME the parties through their respective counsel and state in support
of this stipulation to adjourn the plea hearing scheduled for November 13, 2020 at
11:00 a.m.:
Defendant was diagnosed with COVID-19 and was recently admitted to a
local hospital for treatment. He was released from the hospital on November 9,
2020. Defendant continues to exhibit severe symptoms of the virus. Defendant is
in quarantine at his home pursuant to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s guidelines. It is in the best interest of justice that Defendant be present
in his counsel’s office to prepare for and execute the plea hearing.
The Court finds that the time period between November 13, 2020 and
December 17, 2020 qualifies as excludable delay under the Speedy Trial Act, 18
U.S.C. § 316(h)(7), because the ends of justice served by the granting of the
Case 2:20-cr-20413-LVP-APP ECF No. 15, PageID.44 Filed 11/12/20 Page 2 of 2
requested continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in
a speedy trial.
Therefore, the parties stipulate that the Plea Hearing scheduled for November
13, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. be rescheduled to December 17, 2020 at 11:00 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
