Sentencing Hearing (Non-evidentiary)  
MINUTE TEXT: 
Defendant raised an objection to paragraphs 47-49 of the revised 
presentence report. After hearing argument from the parties, the Court 
overruled the Defendant’s objection. The Government requested that the 
restitution amount be increased to $46,004.04, to reflect amounts the 
Defendant received from a “third fraudulent Covid relief loan from a 
separate program” totaling $4,000.00 plus interest. (Doc. 32 at 2.) 
Having no objection from Defendant as to the requested additional 
amount, the Court granted the Government’s request and directed 
Probation to modify the presentence report as requested by the 
Government. Having no further objections to the presentence report, the 
Court adopted the findings of fact and conclusions of law, as modified. 
After hearing argument from the parties, the Court granted the two-level 
downward adjustment for acceptance of responsibility. There were no 
objections to the guideline calculations. The Court heard arguments from 
the parties regarding their recommended sentence. The Court granted the 
parties’ joint request for a 2-level downward variance due to the 
anticipated guideline amendment for defendants with no criminal history 
points. Sentence was imposed. Government had no objections to 
Defendant remaining on bond pending voluntary surrender. The Court 
will make a recommendation to the BOP regarding Defendant’s
