UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FORIDA 
CASE No. 22-20290-CR-BLOOM/OTAZO-REYES 
 
UNITES STATES OF AMERICA, 
 
 
Plaintiff,  
v.  
 
ERIC DEAN SHEPPARD, 
 
Defendant. 
____________________________________/ 
 
UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DELAY THE TRIAL ONE DAY 
 
The Defendant, Eric Sheppard, by and through his undersigned counsel hereby moves this 
Honorable Court for a 24-hour delay in the trial of this matter, and as grounds therefore states: 
1. 
The trial is scheduled to begin on September 26, 2023. 
2. 
The day before, September 25, 2023, is Yom Kippur, a Jewish High Holiday, in which 
most of the Defense team observes and will be fasting for 24 hours ending at approximately 8:00 p.m. 
on September 25, 2023. 
3. 
It will be a hardship to begin a trial the very next morning without having a day to 
physically and mentally to reset, especially to begin a trial with a person’s liberty at stake.  
4. 
The Government does not have an objection to this request. 
WHEREFORE, undersigned counsels respectfully request that an Order be entered for the 
above-mentioned relief and to allow trial to commence on September 27, 2023. 
Dated: September 15, 2023  
 
 
 
Respectfully submitted,
