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

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.

(g) Submission of Presentence Report to Sentencing Judge. Not later than

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

unresolved objections, the grounds for thos e objections and the probation officer’s

comments on the objections. The probation officer shall certify that the contents of the

presentence report, including any revi sions thereof, have been disclosed to the

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

remaining objections.
