In order to assist lawyers prosecuting and defending criminal cases in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, the judges of the district enter the
following administrative order:
I. Where there are contested advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines
issues the judges will follow the prior procedure of determining contested
guideline issue facts by a preponderance of the evidence standard without a
Jury.
2. If a party wants the court to depart, either upward or downward, from the
advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines range using traditional
departure theory, then a motion should be filed accompanied by a brief.
3. If a party wants the court to vary, either upward or downward, from the
advisory guideline range, on grounds other than traditional departure theory,
then such a motion should be filed accompanied by a brief.
4. All such motions and briefs, subject to this order, shall be filed at least seven
days prior to the scheduled sentencing. Late requests for departures or
variances from the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines may be
denied by the court as untimely.
