Manriquez Castillo Disputes Presentence Report in Federal Case 25-cr-60048

A defendant in USA v. Ramon Manriquez Castillo, et al has filed objections to the Presentence Investigation Report (PSR), pushing the case into its sentencing phase. The filing, docket entry 170, was entered April 20, 2026, in the Southern District of Florida under case number 0:25-cr-60048-3.

PSR objections at this stage typically contest the probation office's factual findings, guideline calculations, or recommended enhancements — any of which can shift the sentencing range significantly.

The case was filed in 2025 and carries the suffix "-3," meaning Castillo is the third named defendant in a multi-defendant indictment. The full scope of the charges against Castillo and his co-defendants is not yet reflected in the available docket summary, but the case is active and moving toward sentencing for at least one defendant.

No judge is listed in the current docket data. In the Southern District of Florida, PSR objections trigger a response from the government and, often, a reply from the probation office before the sentencing hearing is set. The court will resolve disputed facts either at a sentencing hearing or by written ruling, and those resolutions bind the guideline range the judge applies.

What happens to the PSR objections matters more than the verdict itself in many federal cases. A successful objection can cut years off a sentence. A failed one locks in the government's preferred guideline calculation.

The defense filing at entry 170 is the opening move in that fight.
