Summary

A letter dated May 3, 2023 from Mark B. Gombiner of the Federal Defenders of New York, attorney for Chanette Lewis, to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in United States v. Chanette Lewis, 21 Cr. 729 (LAK), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, filed as Document 82. The letter asks that Ms. Lewis's sentencing, scheduled for May 18, 2023, be adjourned for approximately one month and states that the government does not object. It gives as reasons that counsel will be out of town on that date and needs additional time to obtain records. The letter states that counsel for co-defendants Heaven West and Tatiana Daniel do not object, and that Ms. Lewis's sentencing involves conduct in Count 2 that involves only her. The letter is two pages.

I write to request that the sentencing for Ms. Lewis, currently scheduled for May 18, 
2023, be adjourned for approximately one month. The government does not object to this 
application. 
I am requesting an adjournment because I will be out of town on May 18, 2023. I also 
need some additional time to obtain medical records from Ms. Lewis's new mental health care 
provider. 
I recognize that Ms. Lewis's co-defendants are also scheduled to be sentenced on May 
18th, 2023. I have spoken to counsel for Heaven West and Tatiana Daniel and they do not object 
to an adjournment. I have not yet heard back from counsel for Tatiana Benjamin. 
I also note that Ms. Lewis's sentencing involves conduct (Count 2) that involves only her. 
Accordingly, the efficiencies that result from sentencing all defendants on the same date are less 
applicable to Ms. Lewis.
