REQUEST TO CONVERT RESTITUTION HEARING TO STATUS HEARING

HON. KIMBERLY J. MUELLER JUDGE.

Samuel Lanier, through Assistant Federal Defender, Noa Oren, hereby requests the Court convert his restitution hearing, which is set currently for December 12, 2022, to a status hearing in order to clarify the legal issues the Court wishes to have answered at that hearing. At the sentencing hearing on October 17, 2022, the Court indicated she wished to hear from the experts from each side. After conferring with the government, it is unclear to defense counsel whether the government is calling additional witnesses (beyond their expert) and what those witnesses would testify to that is relevant for a restitution hearing. To conserve the Court and counsel's resources in preparation for this hearing, defense counsel requests a status where the Court clarifies its questions regarding restitution and specific briefing requests as well as having counsel provide estimates of court time needed for their presentations.

ORDER

The Court, having received, read, and considered the request, and good cause appearing, adopts the request in its entirety as its order.

The Court orders the restitution hearing set for December 12, 2022 converted to a status on restitution.
