Summary

A defense letter to United States District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, dated October 21, 2022 and endorsed by the Court the same day, filed as Doc. 187 in No. 1:21-cr-00247-PAE in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, regarding United States v. Amos Mundendi, 21 Cr. 247 (PAE). Tamara L. Giwa of Federal Defenders of New York, counsel for the defendant, requests with the government's consent a 60-day adjournment of sentencing then set for November 9, 2022. The letter states that a retained expert's evaluation and report for sentencing requires an update and that more time is needed to prepare. The endorsement grants the request, adjourns sentencing to February 22, 2023 at 10:30 a.m., and directs the Clerk to terminate the motion at Dkt. No. 183.

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,
