Government Opposition · Fourth Sentencing Adjournment Request

This seven-page letter, dated July 30, 2025 from the Assistant U.S. Attorneys assigned to United States v. Miles Guo, S3 23 Cr. 118 (AT), opposes Mr. Guo's fourth request to adjourn sentencing.

Opening Frame

The letter opens by quoting the Court's prior caution at Dkt. 648 (4/8/25 Tr. at 6, Exhibit A): "This matter has been delayed long enough." The Government agrees. So too do the victims of Guo's massive fraud scheme, one of whom months ago remarked that "[t]he absence of timely justice fuels further misinformation [among Guo's supporters] and deepens the suffering of those who have already endured so much" (citing Dkt. 511 at 2).

Accordingly, on April 8, 2025, the Court scheduled sentencing for September 8, 2025 — a date requested and agreed to by the defense.

Procedural Chronology

• July 17, 2024: Jury convicted Guo of nine counts following a nearly eight-week trial;
• The Court set sentencing for four months later, on November 19, 2024;
• September 8, 2024: Guo first sought a sentencing adjournment, asking for a "one-time, 60-day extension" (Dkt. 466). The Court granted a three-week adjournment instead, moving sentencing to December 9, 2024 (id.).
• More than one year after Guo was convicted at trial in July 2024, his third set of defense attorneys seeks yet another sentencing delay (Dkt. 715, defense letter seeking further three-month adjournment of sentencing).

Government's Position

The government argues:

• The defendant's three appointed attorneys have had ample time — and continue to have ample time — to prepare for sentencing;
• None of the reasons set forth by the defense warrants a three-month continuance;
• The Court should deny the motion.

Modest Compromise Offered

A footnote states: The Government does not oppose a modest adjournment of, at most, two weeks.
