continuance.

5. I conferred with AUSA Joseph Thompson regarding this request for continuance. As

stated in paragraph 9 below, AUSA Thompson consents to this request.

6. This Motion to Adjourn Sentencing, together with a Memorandum of Law in Support

thereof, is being filed electronically via the Court's CM/ECF system in compliance with

Local Rule 5.1.

7. I am in the middle of a two-week jury trial in Miguel Colon vs. Turner Construction

Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County.

8. I respectfully request time to finish my trial, which will last another week, and to meet

recently that it would extend beyond the sentencing date. Counsel provides this notice as

promptly as circumstances permit.
