Dear Judge Hochberg:
On August 15, 2012, your Honor ordered that the United States file a letter brief in response to Defendant Gray's petition for a sentence reduction no later than August 31, 2012. I am writing to request a 60-day extension of time to file such response so that I may obtain transcripts of the Petitioner's plea and sentencing hearings, which I believe are necessary in order to properly respond to the Petition.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted
PAUL J. FISHMAN
United States Attorney
