Criminal No. 12-0184(RJL)

DEFENDANTS MOTION TO CONTINUE SENTENCING HEARING

AND REQUEST FOR FORENSIC EVALUATION
Defendant Alfredo Beltrn Leyva (Beltrn Leyva), by and through undersigned
counsel, respectfully submits this Motion to Continue Sentencing and Request for Forensic
Evaluation. In support of this Motion, Mr. Beltrn Leyva states as follows:
This matter is currently scheduled for a sentencing hearing on September 14,
2016. The defense has been actively engaged in preparation for the hearing; however, certain
events that have recently occurred concern counsel sufficiently that he believes that a forensic
evaluation of Mr. Beltrn Leyva is necessary. Counsel has set forth his reasons in a separate
under seal filing.
Mr. Beltrn Leyva is facing a considerable prison sentence as a result of his guilty
plea. A reasonable continuance to conduct the evaluation will not prejudice him or the
government and will serve to protect the record.

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons and any other that may become
apparent to the Court, Mr. Beltrn Leyva respectfully requests that this Motion be GRANTED.
Dated: Washington, DC
September 9, 2016

Respectfully submitted,
