ORDER
VALERIE CAPRONI UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
WHEREAS on June 10, 2021, the parties appeared for a change-of-plea hearing; and
WHEREAS Mr. Stevens entered a plea of guilty, which was accepted by the Court;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Mr. Stevens' sentencing is scheduled for Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 2:00 P.M. The sentencing will be held in Courtroom 443 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, located at 40 Foley Square, New York, New York 10007.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that pre-sentencing submissions are due no later than Thursday, September 16, 2021.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that for the reasons stated at the proceeding, Mr. Stevens' bail conditions are continued pending sentencing. The Court finds, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3145(c), that extraordinary circumstances exist due to the not insubstantial possibility that the Defendant will be sentenced to time served.
