A:
It sounds like you have already taken significant steps by filing a motion for compassionate release. The fact that the judge acknowledged the untimeliness of the AUSA's response works in your favor. You should focus on emphasizing this procedural error and any other strong points in your motion.
Since the AUSA's response was late, you can request that the judge disregard their arguments due to the procedural violation. Highlight the importance of adhering to deadlines and how this lapse should influence the consideration of your motion. Be sure to reiterate the key reasons for your request, such as health conditions, family circumstances, or other compassionate grounds.
It might also be beneficial to consult with a legal professional who can provide tailored advice and assist in reinforcing your arguments. They can help you navigate this process effectively and ensure that your case is presented in the best possible light. Stay persistent and focus on the compassionate reasons that support your release.
