UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CESAR ROMERO, Defendant.
ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE
(Doc. 165)
On March 11, 2022, defendant Cesar Romero was sentenced in this action. (Doc. 161.) On July 28, 2023, counsel for Defendant filed a motion for compassionate release pursuant to the First Step Act and 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). (Doc. 165.)
Defendant complains that he has repeatedly been refused timely treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease, despite having referrals to see a nephrologist and obtain a kidney ultrasound. Given the nature of these allegations, which include allegations of persistent pain and other urinary symptoms (see Doc. 165-1 at 4), the Court finds it appropriate to impose the following briefing schedule: The government shall file any opposition within 21 days of the date of this order; thereafter, Defendant shall have 14 days to file a reply.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
