CASE NO:
7:25-cr-26—WLS-ALS
ORDER
On June 1, 2026, Quinten L. Billingslea, United States Probation Office Evidence
Based Practices Specialist, via memorandum, requested a continuance of Defendant Margarita
Angel Young’s sentencing hearing currently scheduled for Thursday, June 25, 2025. During
the presentence investigation, this Officer Billingslea encountered a delay in obtaining mental
health records related to the Defendant, who has a significant mental health history. Officer
Billingslea believes this information is pertinent and requests a continuance of the sentencing
hearing of four to six weeks to allow a thorough investigation to be completed and disclosed
in time for all parties to review.
This Court is required by Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32(b)(1) to “impose a
sentence without unnecessary delay.” Defendant entered a plea of guilty in this matter on
March 25, 2026. (Docs. 25, 26). Defendant’s sentencing has not previously been rescheduled.
Based on the circumstances of this case and the requirements set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a),
including to impose a sentence that is “sufficient, but not greater than necessary,” to serve the
purposes of sentencing the Court finds that a continuance of Defendant’s sentencing in this
matter is appropriate.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the sentencing hearing scheduled to take
place 	on 	June 	25, 	2026, 	is 	CANCELLED. 	Defendant’s 	sentencing 	hearing 	is
RESCHEDULED for Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., in Albany, Georgia.
SO ORDERED, this 3rd day of June 2026.
