Letter to Judge Abrams Re: United States v. Cheng, No. 21-CR-00261 (RA) (Dkt. 85, S.D.N.Y.)
Summary
Letter dated October 24, 2024, from Paul, Weiss, CJA counsel to Sheng-Wen Cheng on a pending motion for compassionate release, to Judge Ronnie Abrams in United States v. Cheng, No. 21-CR-00261 (RA), in the Southern District of New York. Counsel says it received the Order dated October 21, 2024 (Dkt. No. 83) and the Supplemental Presentence Report of Probation (Dkt. No. 80, filed under seal), which may have been served only on prior counsel, and that prior counsel will be formally moving to withdraw. Because, as counsel understands it, the AUSA previously assigned has left the Office and the case is being re-assigned, the letter asks for a five-day extension of the October 25, 2024 deadline set in the Order. The Government, through AUSA Dina McLeod, consents. The letter is endorsed 'Application granted. SO ORDERED.' by Judge Abrams on October 24, 2024.

No. 21-CR-00261 (RA)
Dear Judge Abrams:
We are CJA counsel to Sheng-Wen Cheng with respect to his pending motion for
compassionate release. We have received Your Honor's Order dated October 21, 2024 (Dkt. No.
83) and, now, Probation's Supplemental Presentence Report (Dkt. No. 80, filed under seal). We
believe that the Supplemental Presentence Report may have only been served on Mr. Cheng's
prior counsel, and are taking steps to request that the docket be amended to reflect that me and
my firm (and not prior counsel) be listed as counsel of record and receive notifications
accordingly. Specifically, we have confirmed that prior counsel will be formally moving to
withdraw.
In the meantime, we understand that the AUSA previously assigned to this case has left
the Office, and that the Office is in the process of re-assigning the case. We accordingly request
a short (five-day) extension of the October 25, 2024 deadline set forth in the Order so we can
consult with the newly-assigned AUSA and proceed accordingly. The Government, through
AUSA Dina McLeod, consents to this request.
