UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JOSE DELLON, Defendants.
SCHEDULING ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
It is hereby ORDERED that sentencing in this matter, presently scheduled for December 14, 2021, is ADJOURNED to January 3, 2022, at 2:15 p.m. in Courtroom 1305 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York 10007.
The parties should consult the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Criminal Cases (available at http://nysd.uscourts.gov/judge/Engelmayer) for sentencing-related procedures and practices. Consistent with the Court's Rules, the defendant's sentencing submission shall be served two weeks in advance of the date set for sentencing. The Government's sentencing submission shall be served one week in advance of the date set for sentencing. The parties should provide the Court with one courtesy hard copy of each submission when it is served. If a party does not intend to file a substantive sentencing submission, the party should file a letter to that effect.
All members of the public, including attorneys, must complete a questionnaire and have their temperature taken before being allowed entry into the Courthouse. Attached to this Order are instructions and a link to the questionnaire. In light of these protocols, counsel and Defendant should arrive at the Courthouse early to ensure that the proceeding can begin on time. A mask (fully covering the mouth and nose) must be worn at all times while in the Courthouse. (Please note that bandanas, neck gaiters, or masks with exhalation valves or vents are not permitted.) If someone does not have adequate face covering, it will be provided upon entry by the Court Security Officers.
In the interest of public health, and in order to comply with social distancing protocols, the parties are strongly encouraged to limit the number of people in the courtroom as much as possible. Indeed, seating at both counsel table and in the public area of the courtroom will be severely limited. In view of those limitations and the restrictions on entry into the Courthouse, the parties should immediately alert the Court if they anticipate the need for an overflow courtroom.
Finally, counsel are strongly encouraged to ensure that any documents requiring a signature are signed in advance of the proceeding and to submit any and all relevant documents to the Court in advance of the proceeding (via ECF or email, as appropriate).
SO ORDERED.
