ORDER1

This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Norris Williams' Amended Motion to Authorization to Obtain Defendant's Presentence Investigation Report from the United States Probation Office (Doc. #39) filed on March 4, 2016. Last week, Defendant moved this Court to order the United States Probation Office to provide him with the Presentence Investigation Report ("PSR") from an earlier federal case in which he was convicted, see United States v. Williams, No. 2:00-cr-37-JES-1. (Doc. #34). The Court denied that motion but allowed Defendant to refile another motion that stated the specific reasons for why he needed the PSR and the specific portions of the PSR that he wanted. (Doc. #35).

In accordance with the Court's order, Defendant filed the instant motion. Defendant's counsel advises that, without reviewing the PSR, he will be unable to represent Defendant in negotiating a plea and in drafting objections to a presentence investigation report for this case. Based on the Court's review of the pertinent case files, and given that Defendant has now articulated specific and sound reasons for needing the previous PSR, the Court will grant his motion.

Accordingly, it is now

ORDERED:

(1) Defendant Norris Williams' Amended Motion to Authorization to Obtain Defendant's Presentence Investigation Report from the United States Probation Office (Doc. #39) is GRANTED. (2) The United States Probation Office shall allow Defendant to have a copy of his Presentence Investigation Report in United States v. Williams, No. 2:00-cr-37-JES-1.

DONE AND ORDERED.
