MOTION TO EXTEND SELF-SURRENDER DATE 
 
Martin Kao is respectfully seeking a single continuance of the self-surrender 
date imposed by this Honorable Court. 
On February 13, 2025, the Court sentenced Mr. Kao to an 87-month term of 
imprisonment. The Court also allowed Mr. Kao to self-surrender and imposed a 
self-surrender date of March 25, 2025. Mr. Kao has received his Bureau of Prisons 
facility designation. He has been designated to a facility on the West Coast. 
The Court is aware that Mr. Kao is pending sentencing in another case in 
Washington D.C. Unfortunately, there is no pending sentencing date for that case. 
Counsel undersigned spoke with Mr. Kao’s attorney for the Washington D.C. case 
on March 13, 2025. A draft presentence investigation and report has been 
completed in that matter. Mr. Kao’s attorney indicated to Counsel that a reasonable 
estimate of when the Washington D.C. Court will conduct his sentencing is 
sometime in May. 
This Court is also aware of the time-consuming and physical, mental and 
emotional rigors of custody travel. Mr. Kao has no desire to unnecessarily delay his 
mittimus. To the contrary, he wants to start his time as soon as possible. However, 
that is balanced against the aforementioned rigors and difficulties of traveling via 
BOP custody. As such, Mr. Kao is respectfully requesting a single continuance of 
his self-surrender date to a date in June 2025. 
Case 1:21-cr-00061-LEK     Document 162     Filed 03/14/25     Page 2 of 3  PageID.1406

It is Mr. Kao’s hope that a self-surrender date in June in these cases will 
serve as positive motivation for the Court in Washington D.C. to set a sentencing 
date in that case prior to a June self-surrender date herein. If a sentencing date in 
the D.C. case is not established prior to the continued self-surrender date, Mr. Kao 
does not intend to pursue additional continuances. 
DATED:  Honolulu, Hawaii, March 14, 2025.
