pending before a different judge, on the grounds that each matter arises from substantially the same transactions or events. The defendant was arrested on December 7, 2006 for the offense of Possession of Stolen Mail, in violation of Title 18, Unites States Code §1708, and subsequently indicted for that offense in CR-06-1160-PHX-PGR. The same allegation serves as the basis for the petitions seeking a revocation of his supervised release in CR-00230-PHX-MHM and CR-02-1216-PHXRGS. Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 42.1(a)(4), Judge Murguia should be assigned all three matters as she is already assigned to a case with which she has prior familiarity. Excludable delay under Title 18, U.S.C. §3161(h)(1)(F) and (j) and §3161(h)(3)(A) and (B) will occur as a result of this motion and any order based thereon. Respectfully submitted this 28thday of December, 2006. PAUL K. CHARLTON United States Attorney District of Arizona S/Richard I. Mesh Richard I. Mesh Assistant U.S. Attorney
