F.3d 169, 173 (2d Cir. 1999) (finding no breach where "it was [the sentencing judge], not the Government, who raised questions" and "directed the Government to provide him with the pertinent information, which was clearly within his power")); cf. United States v. Vaval, 404 F.3d 144, 154 (2d Cir. 2005) ("[T]he provision of requested legal and factual information to the court . . . is an essential function of the government at sentencing.").
