(a) Sentencing. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the sentencing hearing
shall be set no less than seventy (70) days following the verdict or change of plea.

23(c)(2), the probation officer who interviews a defendant as part of a presentence
investigation must, on request, give the defendant’s attorney notice and reasonable
opportunity to attend the interview. Defense counsel has the burden of informing the
probation officer of counsel’s availability to attend as promptly as possible to enable timely
completion of the presentence report. Any undue delay caused by counsel’s unavailability
may result in the probation officer being directed by the Court to proceed with the interview
without counsel. For purposes of this Rule, “undue delay” is defined as more than five (5)
business days after notice.

material information, sentence classifications, sentencing guideline ranges and policy
statements contained in or omitted from the report. Objections to material in the report
must show the exact paragraph disputed together with specific reasons therefor. Material
believed to have been omitted from the report must have specific application to the
sentencing guidelines.

States believe the material contained in the presentence report is accurate, they must file
a statement to that effect in CM/ECF within fourteen (14) days after disclosure of the
report.
(f) Resolution of Objections to Presentence Report. As soon as possible after
receiving any objections to the report, the probation officer shall conduct any further
investigation necessary and make appropriate revisions to the presentence report. The
probation officer may require counsel for the parties to meet with the probation officer to
discuss unresolved factual and legal issues.

seven (7) days before the sentencing hearing, the probation officer shall submit the
presentence report to the sentencing judge, together with an addendum setting forth any

addendum has been communicated to counsel, and that the addendum fairly states any
remaining objections.
