Case No. 2:22CR58-DJC-1
STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE
JUDGMENT AND SENTENCING
Date: March 19, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Judge: Daniel J. Calabretta
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed by and between United States Attorney Eric
Grant, through Assistant United States Attorney Ross Pearson, counsel for Plaintiff, and Federal
Defender Heather Williams, through Assistant Federal Defender Hootan Baigmohammadi,
counsel for Defendant Jerrell Lawson, that the previously scheduled Judgment and Sentencing
set for March 19, 2026 be continued to April 23, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.
The parties specifically stipulate as follows:
1. 	Good cause and compelling circumstances exist to continue Sentencing. Defense
counsel was preparing for trial in another case for the past month. He was unable
to devote any time to the instant matter during that period. The trial was set to
commence on February 2, 2026. Despite being unexpectedly relieved as counsel
in the other matter today, defense counsel still needs additional time to adequately
prepare for Sentencing in the instant matter.
