Re: United States v. F redy Estuarda- Velasquez
Criminal Action N0.: 07-11-JJF
Our File N0.: 2007-00089
Dear Judge F arnan:
Kindly accept this letter in lieu of a formal motion to join into Det`endant’s Motion for
Continuance in the above-captioned matter.
Last week, Counsel raised with the Court that Mr. Estuardo-Velasquez had filed a pro se
motion to postpone trial for sixty (60) days. At that time, the Court directed Counsel to again discuss
with Mr. Estuardo-Velasquez his constitutional rights to a speedy trial and the impact that this
motion, if granted, would have on his speedy trial rights.
Accordingly, on May 17, 2007, Counsel met with Mr. Estuardo—Velasquez regarding his
speedy trial rights and his pro se motion. During that meeting, Mr. Estuardo—Velasque2 informed
Counsel that he wished to waive his rights, and directed Counsel to join in the Motion for
Continuance.

Wherefore, Counsel hereby joins Defendant’s Motion for Continuance, and Counsel
respectfully requests that this Court grant the motion.!
Respectfully submitted,
