JOINT MOTION TO SCHEDULE A CHANGE-OF-PLEA HEARING PURSUANT TO 
FED. R. CRIM. P. 11 (RULE 11 HEARING) 
The defendant, Christnel Orisca, by and through counsel, Vikas Dhar, and the United States 
of America, by and through Assistant United States Attorney Adam Deitch, respectfully move this 
Court to schedule a change-of-plea (Rule 11) hearing in this matter at the Court’s earliest 
convenience. In support of this Joint Motion, the parties state as follows: 
 
1. The parties have reached a written plea agreement resolving this matter. The parties request 
that the Court conduct a Rule 11 change-of-plea hearing so the defendant may enter a plea 
of guilty and the Court may consider the plea agreement and accept the plea, if appropriate, 
pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11. 
2. The defendant has been advised of his rights, has been provided a copy of the plea 
agreement, and consents to the filing of this Joint Motion. 
3. The parties jointly request that the Court schedule the change-of-plea hearing on a date 
convenient to the Court. 
4. The parties further request that the Court exclude the time between the filing of this Joint 
Motion and the date of the change-of-plea hearing under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 
3161, to allow the parties to finalize plea documentation and to permit the defendant 
meaningful opportunity to consider the plea; the ends of justice served by the exclusion 
outweigh the defendant’s and the public’s interest in a speedy trial. 
WHEREFORE, for the reasons above, the parties respectfully request that the Court schedule 
a change-of-plea hearing pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 at the Court’s earliest convenience 
and enter the proposed order submitted with this motion.
