Former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba wants to postpone his sentencing for his public corruption convictions. The docket in his federal case states:
TEXT ONLY ORDER as to Chokwe Antar Lumumba: Counsel for Defendant has notified the Court that his motion to continue sentencing should be filed under seal. Therefore, counsel shall deliver the documents to the Clerk's office in a sealed envelope with the style of the case, what the documents are related to on the outside of the envelope with a cover letter explaining same, a copy of this Text Order, and a Notice of Conventional Filing to the Clerk's office for filing. The documents to be placed under restricted/seal status may be submitted to the Clerk's office on a CD in PDF form. The PDF documents must be under 35MB. Counsel should also provide copies to counsel opposite, if appropriate, as restricted/sealed filings are not visible to the parties on CM/ECF. NO FURTHER WRITTEN ORDER SHALL ISSUE FROM THE COURT. Signed by District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III on September 29, 2026.\
Lumumba pleaded guilty to conspiracy in July.

Justice delayed is Justice denied!
I bet he does...wuss. Face the music kid.
wonder what stunt he is about to try and pull now
Can't wait to read this "doctor's excuse."
Lumumba, a cockroach, has no basis for further delay. Bring on the Raid, let's get this done.
No....just no.
Squealing on more folks possibly?
Put another way, he’s telling the court “I’ve decided that I don’t want to be sentenced right now.”
Maybe he is giving up the dope boys names??!!
He needs time to finish his current grift.
These comments are disgusting. The mayor gave the shirt off his back for are city. Now we are going to take his pants too then throw him in jail. You should all be ashamed!
There be repercussions when you call the guvnah a racist on the front steps of the mansion while the guv is Savin you from destruction of your water
"Do you like gladiator movies, Chowke?"
Hasn’t enough time, money and oxygen been wasted on this narcissistic, self serving jerk? I really feel bad for his children,and the shame he has brought to his family. Sad .
He will probably do easy time with a cell phone and internet access, but I hope not.
Hey Judge, we can delay this, right?
Name just one thing the mayor 'for are city'. Just one. Go...
Why does counsel refer to the convict as 'defendant'? He is not a defendant.
6:31 are you a Troll or just dumb? Little Lumumba was handed the keys to a city and decided he would steal its Soul. He took advantage of what he describes as “his own people”. Put him in a jumpsuit and make him tell you where hid the cash from Socrates and Richards and countless others. How does someone lack a conscience and moral aptitude to betray the very people who elected him? How can the court delay justice for this piece of garbage? He’ll be out soon enough to grift some more. Lock his ass up!
“Content of Character.”
You can’t be serious with that ridiculous comment. The man accepted bribes, was a corrupt as can be, and you think he gave his shirt off his back while living in a gated community. How gullible are you?
No Justice No Peace ! No Justice No Peace ! No Justice No Peace !
Shout out to Sister R!
Yes he is! He hasn't been sentenced yet. Try to keep up.
It will be granted. The federal system is weak. They play with death penalty verdicts for decades. Rudy got less than the minimum after trial. Former Vicksburg mayor got slapped on the wrist. I will be shocked if either one of these clowns gets more than a year. Steal a wallet and get life, steal the entire bank and you get a vacation at club fed camp.
Finally, it hit home for him, and he realized he's behind on those workouts to bulk up. You can't show up for prison in one of those skinny suits... not a good look.
