UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. ARI TEMAN, Defendant.
ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge
The Court's order at docket 229 was issued in error, due to a miscommunication within the Court's chambers. The Court's intention was to authorize the filing of a reply brief, as reflected in the memo endorsement at docket 227. The Court apologizes for this error. In light of the mixed signals created by the Court's errant order at docket 229, the Court gives the defense until Friday, June 18, 2021, to submit this reply. No. further submissions on this point are authorized.
The Court notes that in the defense's letter of today, Dkt. 230, the defense has indicated for the first time an intention to move for the Court's recusal. To assure that any such application is fully considered, the Court authorizes the defense, in its letter due Friday, June 18, 2021, to set out in full its arguments for recusal. Should a recusal motion be made, the Court will give the Government until Monday, June 28, 2021, to respond, and will adjourn the sentencing hearing scheduled for June 24, 2021. In the event the defense elects not to make a recusal motion, sentencing will proceed as scheduled.
SO ORDERED.
