S.D. Ga. LR Crim. 32A
Sentencing Procedures
(a) Filing Documents. Sentencing-related documents shall be filed in
the Court’s electronic docketing system with access limited to
Defendant’s counsel, the Government, and the Court. Such
documents include:
(1) draft presentence investigation reports, final presentence
investigation reports, and addenda to reports;
(2) objections to presentence investigation reports;
(3) sentencing memoranda;
(4) motions filed in accordance with United States Sentencing
Guideline § 5K1.1; and
(5) letters to the judge.
Given their confidential nature, the Clerk of Court shall file the items
listed in subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) under seal automatically without
any need for a motion or order.
(b) Presentence Reports and Addenda. No person shall disclose,
share, disseminate, copy, or reproduce these documents, other than
to the parties and the Court. Any unauthorized disclosure may be
treated as an act of contempt.
(c) Objections. Within 14 days of the filing of the draft presentence
investigation report, the Government and Defendant shall each file all
respective objections to the presentence investigation report. If a
party files objections to the draft presentence investigation report, the
objecting party shall confer with the probation officer in an effort to
resolve the objections before issuance of the final presentence
investigation report. A party with no objections shall file a notice
stating there are no objections.
(d) Sentencing Memoranda. Unless otherwise ordered by the presiding
judge, a party may file a sentencing memorandum concerning any
complex sentencing issue no later than the day prior to the
sentencing hearing.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
