In response to this post this morning by Douglas Berman at Sentencing Law & Policy blog, commenting on U.S. Attorney (for the ND Indiana) Joseph Van Bokkelen's motion to stop sentencing until the U.S. Supreme Court speaks again, Judge John D. Tinder, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana, sent this comment:

We do admit that Indiana has a Northern District. However, the Indianapolis 500 (and this weekend's Brickyard 400 and the the Formula 1 race) are all held in the Southern District of this state. Joe's counterpart here, Susan Brooks, has not filed a stay motion, so we are racing along with sentencings, trying to make our way through the wreckage caused by the Blakely fiasco.
Great site! Keep up the good work.
