Re: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v.

SHAH

Case number: 4: 15-cr-00037-CDL-MSH-1

Your honor,

In reference to the above case, the character letters you mentioned in the Jan. 26 sentencing hearing are not

available to the public via PACER. When requesting those documents, which are on the docket report, the

user is told: 'You do not have permission to view this document.

Because of public interest in this case and the fact they were referenced in the sentencing of Mr. Shah, it is

my contention that those letters should be available for public examination. Please consider this a request to

view and download those letters.

r

Respectfully;

I
