UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. CARLOS A. SPANN (01)
MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY
MEMORANDUM ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant Carlos A. Spann's ("Defendant") pro se "Motion for Extension of Deadline to File Objections to PSR and Motion for New Trial." Record Document 144. Defendant states in his motion that he is not requesting a new sentencing date. See id. at 2. Upon consideration of the motion,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant will have until Wednesday, September 18, 2019 to file any objections to the PSR. Defendant's sentencing hearing remains set for Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 1:15 p.m.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's motion is DENIED to the extent it requests additional time to file a motion for new trial. Notwithstanding that such motion would be untimely under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33, the instant matter does not involve the sort of "excusable neglect" that would justify an extension of the deadline to file this motion. Pioneer Inv. Services Co. v. Brunswick Associates Ltd. Partnership, 507 U.S. 380, 395, 113 S. Ct. 1489, 1498 (1993).
THUS DONE AND SIGNED, in Shreveport, Louisiana, this 22nd day of August, 2019.
