IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 
WESTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI 
WESTERN DIVISION 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 
 
 
 
 
 
Plaintiff, 
 
 
v. 
 
DAISHA SANDERS, 
 
 
 
 
 
Defendant. 
 
 
 
 
Case No.  24-00029-01-CR-W-BP 
 
MOTION TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING 
 
The United States moves for a continuance of the sentencing hearing scheduled for 
tomorrow, May 19, 2025, in order to resolve the discovery dispute raised by the defendant in her 
motion last night. On May 18, 2025, at approximately 10:40 pm, the defendant filed a motion to 
preclude evidence and testimony regarding the loss amount in this case. The motion was based 
upon the government’s production of a summary chart of the false PPP loans charged in this case 
and other loans that the government submits as relevant conduct. 
The government needs additional time to identify the specific documents that are the basis 
of the summary chart and identify whether those documents were produced in the discovery in this 
case.1 The guidelines state that there is a 12-level increase for loss greater than $250,000 and less 
than $550,000. The loss amount for the charged conduct was $249,987.83. The government 
believes that the defendant was responsible for additional fraudulent loans which would increase 
the loss to more than $250,000 but less than $550,000.
