Sentencing Procedures

1.     Defense counsel must submit a sentencing memorandum prior to sentencing, in accordance with the schedule that the Court will set along with the sentencing date. If defense counsel fails to submit such a memorandum in time for the Court to properly consider it, the sentencing will be continued. No exceptions are permitted without leave of Court.

2.     The defendant is encouraged to submit a personal narrative to the Court prior to sentencing explaining why he or she committed the crime and a plan for rehabilitation. However, the defendant is not required to submit such a narrative and the defendant will not be penalized for failing to do so.

3.     In the normal course, the Court will order probation to disclose the probation officer's sentencing recommendation to both the government and defense counsel.
