UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. WILLIAM JEROME BURNS


JUDGE TRAUGER


UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING

AND DEFENDANT'S REQUEST TO EXTEND DEADLINES

REGARDING THE FILING OF PSR OBJECTIONS

William Jerome Burns, through his attorney John P. Cauley, moves this Honorable Court to enter an order continuing the sentencing hearing date — presently scheduled for Thursday September 27, 2012. In support of the foregoing motion, it is respectfully represented to this Honorable Court the following:

1. Counsel for Mr. Burns is also counsel for Alto Parnell, Defendant Number 22 in U.S. v. Porter, 3:11-00012. 2. U.S. v Porter is set for trial on the September 25, 2012. 3. Recently counsel was informed, informally, that his client would likely be among the few defendants in Porter to be tried on that September 25, 2012 date. 4. The government estimates that the Porter trial will last between 3 and 4 weeks. 5. The parties in this case, U.S. v. Burns, have made progress in resolving some differences bearing upon the complexity of Mr. Burns' sentencing hearing. 6. Mr. Burns' has agreed to a stipulation with regard drug quantity and to his role within the conspiracy — as a result the parties no longer anticipate such a lengthy hearing.
