USA v. Abdallah

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v. 	Case No. 20-cr-20162-3
Hon. Linda V. Parker
TAREK FAKHURI,
Defendant.
__________________________________/
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO EXTEND
REPORTING DATE
Presently before the Court is Defendant Tarek Fakhuri’s “Emergency
Motion for Order Extending Report Date.” (See ECF Nos. 481, 485.) The
Government opposes Mr. Fakhuri’s request. (ECF No. 484.)
Mr. Fakhuri currently is scheduled to report on November 10, 2025, at the
Bureau of Prison (“BOP”) facility where he is designated to serve his 84 months’
sentence for his convictions in this matter. Mr. Fakhuri asks the Court to extend
the reporting date to December 9, to allow him to meet with his neurosurgeon to
discuss the results of his recent Digital Subtraction Angiography (“DSA”) and
recommended follow-up treatment. The neurosurgeon’s schedule precludes him
from seeing Mr. Fakhuri before November 25. (ECF No. 481-1.)
As the parties’ previous stipulated order contemplated a delay in reporting to
Case 2:20-cr-20162-LVP-RSW ECF No. 486, PageID.<pageID> Filed 11/07/25 Page 1 of 2

permit Mr. Fakhuri to not only undergo the DSA but also to obtain the results of
that procedure (see ECF No. 478), and because it has been represented that Mr.
Fakhuri’s neurosurgeon will not discuss those results outside of a follow-up
appointment, the Court is granting Mr. Fakhuri’s request to extend his reporting
date. Given that it has been weeks since the DSA, and that it will be several more
weeks before the follow-up consultation, it does not appear to the Court that the
DSA revealed the need for immediate or emergency treatment. For that reason, the
Court does not intend to grant Mr. Fakhuri any further extensions of his reporting
date. The neurosurgeon’s recommended course of treatment can be presented to
the BOP when Mr. Fakhuri reports to serve his sentence. If it is appropriate to
designate Mr. Fakhuri to a medical facility from the outset, his counsel should
work with counsel for the Government to effectuate that placement.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Mr. Fakhuri’s motion is GRANTED in that his
reporting date to the designated institution shall be extended from November 10,
2025 to noon on December 9, 2025.
