Upon the application of defense counsel, consented to by the government, the pretrial conference previously scheduled for February 19, 2025 is adjourned until April 22, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 11D.

I find that the ends of justice will be served by granting a continuance and that taking such action outweighs the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

My reasons for this finding are that the grant of the continuance is needed to permit the parties to continue plea negotiations.

Accordingly, the time between today and April 22, 2025 is excluded.

Dated: New York, New York February 19, 2025

J. PAUL OETKEN, District Judge: On February 11, 2025, Defendant Derrick Casado, proceeding pro se, filed a motion— styled as a supplement to a since-denied motion (see ECF No. 438)—pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) for a reduction of his sentence under the “safety valve” provision of that Section.

That provision, which was amended by the First Step Act of 2018, permits district courts to impose sentences notwithstanding the mandatory minimum sentences for particular drug offenses if the defendant satisfies enumerated criteria.

As the Court noted at sentencing, “Casado pleaded guilty to two counts, using and carrying a forearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, which was brandished and discharged; and conspiracy to distribute narcotics.” (ECF No. 393 at 2:12-2:15.)

And at his plea hearing, Casado testified: “I participated in crimes through my association with a gang in the Bronx.

Accordingly, Casado is ineligible for a reduction in his sentence under the safety valve for failure to satisfy Section 3553(f)(2).
