E.D. Okla. LCrR 32.2

Attorneys for all parties shall arrange to have written correspondence on behalf of

defendants, victims, or other interested parties, which is submitted for the Court's

consideration at sentencing, sent to the Court through the probation office. Upon receipt of

such materials, the probation office shall ensure through counsel that all parties have copies of

such correspondence prior to sentencing. Any written correspondence sent directly to the

Court pertinent to a defendant pending sentencing should also be made available to counsel of

record prior to sentencing. Any correspondence received by the Court or the probation office

shall be treated in the same manner as the presentence report, and shall not be released to

third parties without approval of the Court. Further, any such correspondence shall not be

filed of record. An inadvertent failure to supply such correspondence to counsel shall not be

a basis for resentencing except to correct a manifest injustice.

Further, in exceptional situations, the Court may determine that certain correspondence

involves security or privacy concerns which require the correspondence to be placed under seal

and not be furnished to the parties, subject to the provisions of Federal Rules of Criminal

Procedure 32.
