RE: United States of America v. Victor J. Horowitz
Chambers of
William H. Walls
District Judge
Harvey Weissbard, Esq,
Genova Burns Giantomasi & Webster
494 Broad Street
Newark, NJ 07101
Dear Mr. Weissbard:
At the March 13, 2013 hearing, I told your client, the Defendant Horowitz, in the presence of counsel, my reasons for imposing a 17 month custodial sentence upon him.
Those reasons, incorporated here by reference, cause me to decline to exercise my discretion to modify such sentence into a "split" one as requested by you in your later letter.
The 17 month sentence of imprisonment is as ordered on March 13.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM H. WALLS
United States District Judge
