JAMES DZURENDA,

Defendant, James Dzurenda, by and through counsel, Aaron D. Ford, Attorney General of the

18

State of Nevada, and Douglas Rands, Senior Deputy Attorney General, hereby notifies the Court that he

19

is requesting the Court withdraw, from consideration, the Motions to Continue Early Mediation

20

(Settlement) Conference and to Extend the Deadline for Early Mediation (Settlement) Conference

21

Statement (ECF Nos. 129 and 130). On April 24, 2021, this office filed the Motion to Continue the

22

Settlement Conference in this matter, scheduled for May 11, 2021. The stated cause for the Motion was

23

a conflict at Ely State Prison with two hearings scheduled for the same time. The Motion was filed

24

without notifying senior staff at this office.

25

When counsel became aware of the Motion, he contacted Ely State Prison, and in discussion

26

with the Warden, confirmed that arrangements could be made so that this Settlement Conference could

27

proceed as scheduled. The Office of the Attorney General apologizes for this Motion, and requests that

28

the settlement conference proceed as planned. The senior staff will reinforce the importance of these

alternative available.
