SUBJECT: Request for Continuance of Sentencing and Presentence Deadlines
Menis E. Ketchum, II, Docket No. 2: 

Following consultation with Supervisory United States Probation Officer Matthew R. Lambert,
this of?cer is requesting a continuance in the sentencing and presentence investigation deadlines
in the above case. Since Mr. Ketchum's guilty plea hearing and assignment of his presentence
investigation, this of?cer has been assigned the presentence investigation of Allen H. Loughry.
This officer has not received the discovery in Mr. Loughry's case as of this date. However, due
to the possibility of an overlap in these cases, I am requesting a continuance to avoid any
unexpected changes in Mr. Ketchurn's presentence report that is currently in the process of being
prepared. Therefore, this of?cer respectfully requests a continuance of 45 to 60 days from the
currently scheduled sentencing and presentence investigation deadlines in Mr. Ketchum?s case.

The probation of?cer has attempted to contact both counsel, Assistant United States Attorney
Philip H. Wright and defense counsel, James M. Cagle, to make them aware of this of?cer?s
request. However, both counsel were unavailable.

Please accept this of?cer?s apologies for this additional delay. The Court can be assured that the
probation of?cer is diligently attempting to complete the assigned investigations in a timely
manner. Thank you for your time and consideration. Should the Court need further information

with regard to the request, please advise.
