Defendant's Sentencing Memorandum — USA v. Ukashat (Dkt. 226)

Summary

Mr. Ukashat's Sentencing Memorandum and His Position Regarding Sentencing Factors in United States of America v. Mubarak Ukashat, Case No. 2:23-cr-111, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, filed August 20, 2025 as Document 226 by Assistant Federal Public Defender Nathan K. Phelps. It asks the court to impose a sentence of one year and one day, rather than the government's request for a 3-year sentence under the Rule 11(c)(1)(C) range. The memorandum argues that the government's references to the defendant's national origin and alienage are improper, citing USSG § 5H1.10 and U.S. v. Onwuemene, 933 F.2d 650. It also argues that the government's relevant-conduct inferences about the COVID loans and unemployment benefits are flawed, and cites a Guideline range of 24 to 30 months and time already spent confined at home.
