June 20, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. to either conduct Defendant’s sentencing hearing or a hearing on his 
Motion to Withdraw, depending on the content of Defendant’s Notice.

Agreement, the Court will hear argument on the Motion at that time. However, if Defendant wishes 
to proceed to sentencing, the Court will conduct his sentencing on August 21 instead. If Defendant
