Defense counsel, Ismail Ramsey (appointed as CJA counsel) and Katharine Kates,
are starting a six-week criminal ERISA fraud trial before the Honorable Yvonne
10
Gonzalez Rogers of this Court on October 30, 2015, USA v. Benson, Case No. 4:12-cr-
11
00480-YGR. In connection with the case, defense counsel have also commenced a
12
Kastigar hearing before Judge Cousins on October 20, which is continuing daily.
13
Due to the time commitment necessary to adequately prepare for and participate in
14
the trial and the related evidentiary hearing, it would not also be possible for defense
15
counsel to respond to a motion for summary judgement on the current schedule. Defense
16
counsel has therefore requested that the Commission stipulate to a request that the Court
17
continue the Briefing Schedule and Hearing for the Motion for Summary Judgment. In
18
view of the reasons presented by defense counsel, the Commission does not oppose this
19
request.

21
Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate and request that the Court set a new hearing
date and briefing schedule as follows:
22
23
December 21, 2015 : Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment to be filed
24
January 6, 2016: Defendant’s Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment to be
