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 ___ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _______________ L Gi GRANTED. Sentencing is adjourned to February 22, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. The parties shall serve their sentencing submissions in accordance with this Court's Individual Rules & Practices in Criminal Cases. The Clerk of Court is requested to terminate the motion at Dkt. No. 183. 10/21/2022 SO ORDERED. __________________________________ PAUL A.
