                  Re:    United States v. Sheng-Wen Cheng, 21 Cr. 261 (RA)

          Dear Judge Abrams:

                 The Government, with the consent of defense counsel, respectfully requests an extension
          of time until November 1, 2024 for the parties to respond to the Court’s October 21, 2024 order.
          (ECF 83.)

                 On October 21, 2024, the Court set a deadline of October 25, 2024 for the parties to advise
          the Court of their positions on whether the defendant, Sheng-Wen Cheng, is eligible for a reduced
          sentence under Amendment 821 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines. On October 24, 2024,
          defense counsel submitted a letter requesting a five-day extension, until October 30, 2024, to
          respond. (ECF 84.) That letter noted that defense counsel had not previously received Probation’s
          Supplemental Presentence Report (ECF 80), and that the Assistant United States Attorney who
          had previously worked on this case had left the United States Attorney’s Office, meaning a new
          Assistant United States Attorney was being assigned.

                 The undersigned was recently assigned to this case. Accordingly, the Government requests
          additional time to consider the Government’s position on the matter and to confer with defense
          counsel.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,
Application granted.
                                                       DAMIAN WILLIAMS
SO ORDERED.                                            United States Attorney
