Summary
A consent letter motion dated October 21, 2022 and filed as Document 183 in United States v. Amos Mundendi, 21 Cr. 247 (PAE), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, addressed to the Honorable Paul A. Engelmayer. Defense counsel Tamara L. Giwa of Federal Defenders of New York writes with the consent of the government to request a 60-day adjournment of the defendant's sentencing, currently scheduled for November 9, 2022. The letter states that the defendant's circumstances have changed over the past two months and that a mitigation report prepared for sentencing by an expert retained by counsel's office now requires a significant update. It reports that the expert is scheduled to visit the defendant at the MDC on October 24, 2022 and again in the following weeks, and that an adjournment would allow the evaluation to be completed.

October 21, 2022 VIA ECF and Email Honorable Paul A. Engelmayer United States District Judge Southern District of New York 40 Foley Square New York, NY 10007 Re: United States v. Amos Mundendi 21 Cr. 247 (PAE) Dear Judge Engelmayer, I write with the consent of the government to respectfully request a 60-day adjournment of Mr. Mundendi’s sentencing, currently scheduled for November 9, 2022. As the Court is aware, the state of Mr. Mundendi’s mental health and personal circumstances have changed dramatically over the past two months. My office had previously retained an expert, Dr. Adeyinka Akinsulure-Smith, to conduct an evaluation of Mr. Mundendi and prepare a mitigation report to use at sentencing. That report now requires a significant update. Dr. Akinsulure-Smith is scheduled to visit Mr. Mundendi at the MDC this coming Monday, October 24, 2022, and again in the following weeks. An adjournment would provide Dr. Akinsulure- Smith sufficient time to complete her evaluation and would allow me to effectively prepare for sentencing. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Respectfully submitted, _______________________ Tamara L. Giwa Counsel for Amos Mundendi Federal Defenders of New York (917) 890-9729 cc: AUSA Dina McLeod (via ECF) Case 1:21-cr-00247-PAE Document 183 Filed 10/21/22 Page 1 of 1
