The court approved a stipulation between the Government and Velasquez to delay his date for self-surrender, which was originally set on October 2, 2020. The Government and Velasquez requested a delay until January 8, 2021, but the court only granted the stipulation in part and ordered Velasquez to self-surrender on November 6, 2020, in light of the decreasing infection rate in the area and the likelihood that the infection rate could worsen by January 2021.
