DEFENDANT'S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM
I.
INTRODUCTION
Before this Court stands Christnel Orisca, a 26-year-old first-generation Haitian-American, a
naturalized United States citizen, a former corrections officer, a devoted son and uncle, and a
young man who made a serious and costly mistake that he has spent the past several years
confronting with honesty, humility, and uncommon resolve. Mr. Orisca respectfully submits this
Sentencing Memorandum in connection with his sentencing and respectfully requests that the
Court impose a sentence of nine (9) months of home confinement, followed by a period of
supervised release, with restitution and forfeiture as set forth in the plea agreement.
The plea agreement in this case reflects an offense level of 9 and a Criminal History Category of
I, yielding a Guideline Sentencing Range of four to ten months. The PSR confirms no criminal
history whatsoever and notes that the zero-point offender reduction under USSG §4C1.1 applies.
The applicable guideline range falls within Zone B of the Sentencing Table, a range that, by design,
may be satisfied without any period of incarceration. A sentence of home confinement within the
Zone B range, with supervised release, is not a departure; it is a guideline-contemplated and
factually warranted resolution that serves each of the purposes enumerated in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).
The government's memorandum recommends four months at the low end of the range. Defense
counsel respectfully urges this Court to impose a sentence of nine months of home confinement, a
sentence that is more demanding in structure and duration than the government's request, but which
preserves Mr. Orisca's ability to remain in the community, continue his documented rehabilitation,
fulfill his restitution obligation, and serve as the father figure and anchor that his 11-year-old
nephew, whose own father is absent, desperately needs.
The record before this Court is extraordinary. Mr. Orisca's post-offense conduct is not a courtroom
performance. It is a verified, documented chronicle of a young man who, upon being confronted
with the gravity of his conduct, did not wait to be told what to do. He enrolled in professional
courses. He logged over sixty hours volunteering with critically ill patients. He secured legitimate
employment. He registered for a law enforcement examination. He shows up, as he always has,
for the people who need him.

This memorandum presents the full picture of Christnel Orisca: the offense, its context, and
equally, the man behind it.
II.
FACTUAL AND PERSONAL BACKGROUND
A. The Journey to America
Christnel Orisca was born on October 2, 1999, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. When he was twelve years
old, his parents emigrated to the United States, leaving him behind in Haiti with his older siblings.
His parents covered the family's living expenses from abroad, and the children attended school
daily. On October 25, 2014, when Christnel was only fifteen years old, he and his brothers were
finally reunited with their parents in Massachusetts. He arrived in America knowing almost no
English, navigating a new language, a new culture, and a new educational system during high
school. He enrolled at Community Academy of Science and Health in Dorchester, where he
learned English and, in June 2017, earned his high school diploma. He subsequently attended
Bunker Hill Community College, where he studied Criminal Justice, Psychology, and Forensic
Science, the curriculum of a young man who, even then, was orienting himself toward a life of
public service.
On January 15, 2020, Christnel Orisca became a naturalized United States Citizen. His entire adult
life, from the moment he arrived in this country, has been defined by work. From Securitas security
at TD Garden to campus security at Pine Manor College to FedEx delivery to the Suffolk County
Sheriff's Department, Christnel has always been employed, always working, always contributing,
always striving.
B. The Offense
The offense conduct is not disputed and Mr. Orisca has fully accepted responsibility for it. Between
May 2020 and September 2021, Mr. Orisca fraudulently claimed Pandemic Unemployment
Assistance and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation while employed, collecting
approximately $34,700 in pandemic unemployment benefits to which he was not entitled. In March
2021, at a time when he was approximately 21 years old, he participated in a Paycheck Protection
Program loan scheme, submitting false documentation to obtain $20,000 in PPP funds that he
subsequently misused, obtaining a loan forgiveness to which he was not entitled. The total fraud
proceeds are $54,700. Mr. Orisca has admitted this conduct and pled guilty pursuant to a written
plea agreement. He does not minimize what he did. What this memorandum asks the Court to
consider, alongside the offense, is the full human being before it – the context in which these
decisions were made, the person who made them, and the man who has emerged on the other side.
C. Context the Court Should Weigh
Mr. Orisca was 20 to 21 years old during the period of the offense, newly naturalized, newly
arrived in the workforce, and, as the government itself acknowledges, subjected in no small
measure to the influence and apparent direction of an older family member in the PPP fraud. The
government's own sentencing memorandum notes that "the PPP loan fraud was accomplished in
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 2 of 44
3
no small part with Mr. Orisca's older brother's apparent influence and direction," and that another
family member participated in the same scheme. Mr. Orisca was the youngest and least
experienced of the participants. He has been the only one charged.
This is not offered as an excuse. Christnel Orisca is an adult, and he made adult choices. But the
Court's obligation under § 3553(a)(1) is to consider "the history and characteristics of the
defendant,” and those characteristics include the youth, the immigrant experience, the family
pressure, and the absence of criminal sophistication that marked this period of his life. The
government itself was moved by these facts, acknowledging in its own filing that Mr. Orisca
"remains an unusual candidate among these convicted fraudsters."
Since being confronted by the federal justice system, Mr. Orisca has done everything right. He has
admitted his conduct. He has cooperated. He has complied fully with every pretrial condition. He
has worked, served, studied, and shown up, whether for his community, for his family, and for the
people who depend on him. The PSR confirms: "Probation and Pretrial Services' records indicate
that the defendant has complied with all Court-ordered conditions of release." PSR ¶ 5.

LEVEL
9
GSR: 4–10 months / Zone B
Total Offense Level 9 and Criminal History Category I yield a Guideline Sentencing Range of 4
to 10 months' imprisonment. PSR ¶ 91. The range falls in Zone B of the Sentencing Table.
Critically, the PSR confirms that because Mr. Orisca "received an adjustment under USSG §4C1.1
(Adjustment for Certain Zero-Point Offenders) and the defendant's applicable guideline range is
in Zone A or B of the Sentencing Table," a sentence other than imprisonment is "generally
appropriate." PSR ¶ 92 (citing USSG §5C1.1, comment. n.10).
Zone B expressly permits the minimum term to be satisfied by a term of probation that includes a
condition of home detention. USSG §5C1.1(c)(3). A sentence of nine months of home confinement
is within the guideline range as contemplated by the Sentencing Commission and is consistent
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 3 of 44
4
with the applicable policy statement. It is not a departure. It is the Guidelines working as designed,
providing flexibility for exactly the kind of defendant who stands before this Court.
JSIN data for defendants in this cell (Total Offense Level 9, CHC I, §2B1.1) further supports a
non-custodial outcome. Of 274 similarly situated defendants in the five-year period, 49% received
probation or fine only, and the median sentence imposed across all 274 defendants was zero
months. PSR ¶ 108. The average length of imprisonment among those who did receive a custodial
sentence was just three months, and the median was one month. The statistical weight of outcomes
in this cell points toward a non-custodial or minimal-custody resolution. A nine-month home
confinement sentence is measured, proportionate, and consistent with national practice.
IV.
THE 18 U.S.C. § 3553(A) FACTORS
A. Nature and Circumstances of the Offense
The offense involved pandemic fraud (wire fraud and a false statement to a financial institution)
arising from the extraordinary and unprecedented disruptions of COVID-19. Mr. Orisca's total
fraud proceeds of $54,700 arose over approximately 16 months, during a period when, as the
government itself acknowledges, COVID-19 fraud was "a drop in the proverbial bucket" in a
national fraud landscape estimated at $100 to $135 billion. This observation is not meant to
minimize Mr. Orisca's personal culpability; it is offered to calibrate proportionality. The offense
did not involve violence, sophisticated money laundering, or exploitation of vulnerable
individuals.
There was no obstruction of justice. PSR ¶ 36. There were no victims in the traditional sense: the
SBA and Massachusetts DUA were institutional victims, and the loss amounts ($20,000 and
$34,700 respectively) will be fully addressed through restitution. Mr. Orisca has agreed to the
$54,700 forfeiture money judgment and is committed to satisfying his restitution obligation. The
nature of this offense committed by a young man in his early twenties under family influence and
amid pandemic-era chaos is meaningfully different from the calculated, long-running schemes that
warrant custodial sentences. The circumstances of the offense call for a firm, but measured,
response.
B. History and Characteristics of the Defendant
Christnel Orisca's history is one of consistent work, family devotion, and a genuine aspiration
toward public service. He has worked continuously since arriving in America at age fifteen. He
earned his high school diploma. He studied criminal justice. He completed a rigorous, 320-hour
state-accredited corrections training program. He was promoted to a specialized transportation role
in the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department, a position that normally takes eight to ten years to
earn, within his first years on the job.
He has zero criminal history. The single prior contact noted in the PSR, a 2022 property damage
charge that was dismissed, involved no conviction and no relevance to this proceeding. PSR ¶ 56.
He has no history of violence, no substance abuse history, no gang affiliation, no mental health
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 4 of 44
5
history. He is, by every objective measure, a person of unusual institutional reliability and human
decency.
The numerous community letters before this Court span the full arc of Christnel's life and
relationships.1 They come from a 25-year corrections veteran, a 12-year high school counselor, an
immigration law clerk, a coworker of five years, a partner, lifelong friends, and perhaps most
powerfully, his own family. These are not form letters. They are specific, personal, and consistent
in their conclusion: Christnel Orisca is a good person who made a serious mistake, and his
goodness has not been undone by it.
His sister Nirva, who sacrificed enormously to reunite her family in the United States after the
2010 Haitian earthquake, describes her brother as "one of the most remarkable human beings I
know." His brother Wilgens recounts an eleven-year-old Christnel in the aftermath of the
earthquake, choosing to share food and supplies with neighboring children who had nothing. His
nephew Noah, whose father chose to be absent from his life, wrote to this Court in his own words:
"My uncle Christnel is very important to me. He is like a father to me."
Captain Shaunette Fitzpatrick, a 25-year veteran of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department,
describes Christnel's rapid advancement as a corrections officer, observing that he "excelled in
every position he worked." Chase Grogan, a counselor who has known Christnel for twelve years,
writes that he "often brings life to any room he is in" and describes a man who volunteers not for
recognition, but out of genuine care for others.
C. The Need for the Sentence Imposed
Under § 3553(a)(2), the Court must consider deterrence, public protection, and rehabilitation. Each
of these purposes is fully served, and in some respects better served, by a nine-month home
confinement sentence than by a period of incarceration.
Specific Deterrence. The federal conviction alone, a permanent record that has already cost Mr.
Orisca his career as a corrections officer, constitutes an extraordinary deterrent for this specific
defendant. His professional aspirations were anchored in law enforcement; that door is now
effectively closed. The loss of his career, the stigma of federal conviction, the two-plus years of
pretrial supervision, and the full weight of this proceeding have produced a man who is not at risk
of re-offense. As the government's own memorandum acknowledges: "The defendant's admission
of his conduct has already resulted in the loss of his job and the premature termination of his
budding career in law enforcement."
General Deterrence. A federal felony conviction carries substantial general deterrent effect
regardless of custodial component. The permanence of a federal record, the public nature of this
proceeding, and the restitution obligation all signal unmistakably that pandemic fraud carries
lasting consequences. A non-custodial sentence does not send a message of leniency; it reflects the
proportionate application of law to a first offender with no prior record, full acceptance of
responsibility, and extraordinary post-offense conduct.

6
Protection of the Public. There is no evidence that Christnel Orisca poses any risk to the
community. His compliance with all pretrial conditions over more than a year has been perfect.
PSR ¶ 5. He is employed, enrolled in vocational training, and engaged in structured community
service. Home confinement and supervised release provide ample monitoring to protect the public,
while allowing Mr. Orisca to continue the constructive trajectory he has established.
Rehabilitation. This is, perhaps, the most powerful factor before the Court because Mr. Orisca's
rehabilitation is not pending. It has already occurred. In documented, verified, timestamped
actions, he has rebuilt his life. Section V of this memorandum addresses his post-offense conduct
in detail.
D. Avoiding Unwarranted Sentencing Disparities
Section 3553(a)(6) directs the Court to avoid unwarranted disparities among defendants with
similar records and similar conduct. JSIN data reveals that among 274 similarly situated
defendants (same offense level, same criminal history category), 49% received no incarceration
whatsoever. The median sentence imposed across that cohort was zero months. For those who did
receive imprisonment, the average was three months. A nine-month home confinement sentence,
while somewhat more structured than the statistical median, is well within the range of outcomes
that courts have imposed for defendants in precisely this posture.

A. Community Service: 63.11 Hours with the Critically Ill
Since September 25, 2025, Mr. Orisca has volunteered consistently with Community Servings, a
Boston nonprofit that provides medically tailored, home-delivered meals to individuals and
families living with critical and chronic illnesses, including cancer and HIV/AIDS. He has logged
63.11 hours of documented service, verified in writing by T'sera Mirescu, Manager of Volunteer
Services, on January 29, 2026.
The shift log attached to Ms. Mirescu's verification letter tells the most compelling story. Mr.
Orisca reported for service on consecutive days (October 16 and 17, October 23 and 24, October
30 and 31, November 6 and 7), week after week, without interruption, through the fall and into
January 2026. He showed up more than twenty-five times across four months, for people he had
never met, asking nothing in return. He did not taper off. He did not reduce his commitment as the
novelty wore off. His counselor Chase Grogan, who has known him for twelve years,
independently confirmed this service to the Court, noting that it is done "not for recognition, but
out of a sincere desire to help those in need."
B. Education: A 60-Hour Medical Interpreting Certificate
In October 2025, while simultaneously volunteering at Community Servings, Mr. Orisca enrolled
in and completed a 60-hour Medical Interpreting Certificate course at Massasoit Community
College's Brockton campus. The course ran on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and Mr.
Orisca completed it on December 13, 2025. The certificate was awarded by Massasoit's Academic
Affairs Division and bears the signatures of the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and
the Associate Dean of Community Education.
This credential is meaningful on multiple levels. First, it represents sixty hours of rigorous, in-
person professional instruction. Second, it is linguistically anchored: Mr. Orisca is a native Haitian
Creole speaker, fluent in French, and proficient in English, making him a trilingual medical
interpreter capable of serving Boston's chronically underserved Haitian community. Third, it
reflects a deliberate turn toward a career of service and healing: on January 12, 2026, he began
working as a Haitian Creole interpreter through Baystate Interpreters, serving schools and hospitals
at $26 per hour. PSR ¶ 78.
As Birica-Bikira Noel, J.D., observed in her letter to this Court, this course demonstrated "a
deliberate commitment to education, accountability, and meaningful work that benefits others." A
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 7 of 44
8
young man who enrolls in a rigorous professional certification program while on pretrial release
is not performing remorse, rather, he is building something real.
C. Employment: A Return to Public Service
Mr. Orisca is now gainfully employed consistent with his lifelong pattern of working. His
interpreting role at Baystate Interpreters places him in hospitals and schools, serving vulnerable
patients and students who need language access to receive care and education. This is the career
trajectory of a man whose instinct, even now, is to orient himself toward service.
In early 2026, Mr. Orisca applied to the JATC of Greater Boston Telecomm Apprenticeship
Program, a competitive, structured apprenticeship offering skilled trade certification, union wages,
and long-term economic stability. He has also been cleared to schedule the Massachusetts Trial
Court Officer Examination (REACH) for Spring 2026, administered by IOS Recruitment in
coordination with Pearson VUE on behalf of the Massachusetts Trial Court. That registration
speaks volumes: even now, Christnel Orisca's instinct is to reach toward public service and lawful
responsibility.
D. The Rehabilitation Is Real
Each item in this record is documented and verified. This is not a list of intentions. These are
completions. Christnel Orisca did not wait to be ordered into service: he chose it, sustained it, and
built upon it across months and into a new year. The rehabilitation is real, and it was underway
long before today. "His rehabilitation has not been abstract or aspirational; it has been reflected
in consistent, everyday actions that show accountability, structure, and care for others," said
Birica-Bikira Noel in her support letter.
VI.
THE VOICE OF CHRISTNEL ORISCA'S COMMUNITY
Ten individuals have come forward to speak on behalf of Christnel Orisca. They were not asked
to perform loyalty. They came because they know him across years, across settings, across the
hardships of his life. Each represents an independent voice. Together, they speak as one. Captain
Shaunette Fitzpatrick of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Departmen observed Mr. Orisca under the
exacting conditions of correctional work: the pressure, the scrutiny, the daily demands of a
uniformed law enforcement role. She describes "passion, determination and leadership" that led
supervisors to fast-track him into a specialized transportation unit, a promotion that normally takes
eight to ten years. "He has always excelled in every position he worked."
Chase Grogan, a counselor who has known Mr. Orisca for twelve years, describes a man whose
"commitment to serving others" is genuine and quiet, not performed, not announced. He is
currently involved in weekly food delivery to elderly community members. "This is not something
he does loudly or for recognition, but rather out of a sincere desire to help those in need."
Birica-Bikira Noel provides a precisely observed clinical account of Mr. Orisca's rehabilitation
classes completed, service performed, structure maintained and concludes: "What ultimately
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 8 of 44
9
defines a person is not the mistake itself, but how they respond afterward." By that measure,
Christnel Orisca has answered.
His sister Nirva gave up her own opportunities to bring her family to America. She writes of her
brother's loss, not only of his career, but of the freedom to travel and to dream. She asks for mercy,
not perfunctory acknowledgment. His brother Wilgens witnessed an eleven-year-old Christnel
choose generosity in the rubble of an earthquake: "This was the moment I knew Christnel would
grow up to be a man with a huge heart for others."
And then there is Noah, eleven years old, whose father chose to be absent, and whose uncle chose
to show up. In his own words: "My uncle Christnel is very important to me. He is like a father to
me. He is always there when I need him. He helps me with school, talks to me when I am sad, and
makes sure I feel safe." Noah writes plainly: "I know he is a good person." This Court is asked to
weigh what the removal of that presence would mean, not in abstract terms, but in the life of a
child already navigating paternal absence.
VII.
THE REQUESTED SENTENCE
For the foregoing reasons, Mr. Orisca respectfully requests that the Court impose the following
sentence:
1. Nine (9) months of home confinement, to be served as a condition of supervised
release, satisfying the Zone B minimum term under USSG §5C1.1(c)(3);
2. A term of supervised release as determined by the Court, with standard conditions and
such special conditions as the Court may deem appropriate, including financial
disclosure and repayment monitoring;
3. Restitution in the amount of $54,700 ($20,000 to the Small Business Administration;
$34,700 to the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance), to be paid
according to a court-ordered repayment schedule;
4. Forfeiture in the amount of $54,700, as set forth in the plea agreement;
5. A special assessment of $600 ($100 per count); and,
6. No fine, given the defendant's current financial circumstances and substantial
restitution obligation. PSR ¶ 89.
This sentence is within the guideline range, consistent with the applicable policy statement for
Zone B zero-point offenders, proportionate to the offense, and fully supported by the § 3553(a)
factors. It is more demanding than the government's four-month request in terms of both duration
and structure; respectfully, nine months of home confinement is not a lenient outcome. It is firm,
measured, and appropriate. Most importantly, it is a sentence that does not require this Court to
remove from the community a young man who has demonstrated, by everything he has done since
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 9 of 44
10
this case began, that the community is where he belongs, and that he will not waste a second
chance.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Christnel Orisca arrived in America at fifteen without English, without resources, and without a
road map. He built one, through work, through study, through service, through showing up for the
people who needed him. He violated the law in the chaos of a pandemic, as an influenced young
man, and he has paid for it in ways that extend far beyond any formal sanction: a career ended, a
dream foreclosed, a federal record that will follow him always.
What he has not done is stop. He has not retreated. He has not asked for sympathy without earning
it. He has shown, through 63 hours of meals delivered to the critically ill, through a 60-hour
medical interpreting certificate earned on Saturdays, through steady employment and community
commitment, that he understands what accountability looks like, not as a concept, but as a practice.
The Guidelines envision exactly this outcome for exactly this kind of defendant: a Zone B
sentence, served in the community, with supervision and structure, for a first offender whose zero-
point record and extraordinary personal history counsel against incarceration. The Court is
beseeched to honor that vision. Nine months of home confinement is a significant restriction on
liberty. It carries supervision, monitoring, and consequence. What it does not do is remove from
Noah the uncle who is also his father. What it does not do is interrupt the volunteer work, the
interpreting career, the forward momentum that Mr. Orisca has built, work that does not benefit
him alone, but benefits the patients, students, and elderly neighbors he serves.
Christnel Orisca is a good man. He has earned the right to continue proving that to this Court.

Good day,
My name is Shaunette Fitzpatrick I work for the Su;olk County Sheri;’s Department
for approximately 25 years. Mr. Christel Orisca started October 11, 2021, as an o;icer
where he was assigned to various units with and without a partner. Throughout his time he
climbed the respect latter of both his peers and superiors. I had only been a Captain for a
few months assigned to Building One or the Tower, in which my job description was
conducting round in the tower where O;icer Orisca was assigned. During those rounds
while in his unit it was always clean, the inmates were never complaining, and he was
always in the proper uniform. The other Supervisors recognized is passion, determination
and leadership and he was trained to work transportation, which consists of transporting
inmates/detainees to various courts throughout the city. He was eventually o;ered the
position full time with weekends o;. Which typically doesn’t happen for 8-10 years after
you start. He has always excelled in every position he worked.
There was time where we interacted outside of work at events and parties Christnel
was always the same caring for others and respectful. We were a mutual friend’s baby
shower, and I was having a conversation with a woman and she was raving about her
brother. How he was a good man, doing community service work in the city, and taking
care of his family. Later that evening I was talking to Christnel and he wanted me to meet
his family which happen to be the woman I was talking to earlier that evening we hugged
and laughed because we were talking about Christnel which goes to show what kind of
man he is. His personality and professional has always shown and will continue to shine,
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 13 of 44
mistakes happen throughout life I believe he has learned and lost a lot. I hope that you will
see better in this young man than the mistake that he made.
Respectfully,
Shaunette Fitzpatrick

Re: Christnel Orisca
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK
Dear Honorable Judge Kobick,
My name is Wilgens Orisca and I am writing you on behalf of my younger brother Christnel
Orisca. I have grown up with Christnel my whole life in the same house. He is my brother
but also my best friend, whom I love, respect and care about. I have always had a close
relationship with my brother and will continue to look after him as older siblings tend to do.
I know Christnel is here today to face a serious issue and he knows it too. We have had
many conversations about his situation and where he went wrong. He is very aware of how
serious this is and how it has affected him and those around him. Not only has this
mentally affected him and our family but physically as well. Seeing your child hurt you like
this has caused our mother immense pain and her health has been declining due to the
heartbreak of her son being in this position. We are all hurting but what keeps us going is
that we love Christnel and we will continue to support him through his journey of making a
better life for himself.
I want you to know that although Christnel may be here for these reasons, that is not the
person I know him to be. Christnel has always been an extremely hardworking, selfless and
family-oriented person. Even If he is having the busiest day of his life he will always come to
my sister’s house to help my niece and nephew with their homework. He will sit down with
them, help them with any questions they have and encourage them to always do their best
in school. This is just who Christnel is. He puts other family members and especially the
younger generation before himself. Also, when mom used to work in Walpole, Christnel
would drive her to work everyday no matter how tired he was. He never said he was too
tired to get out of bed to drive her to work, he never complained. He just showed up.
Showing up is what Christnel does for family.
Even as a young child Christnel always showed compassion for others. I remember when
the earthquake hit Haiti in 2010. Christnel was only eleven years old at the time. When our
family in the US sent us food and other goods he did not keep all them for himself. He
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 15 of 44
decided he wanted to share what we got to other children in our neighborhood that were
affected by the earthquake as well. At the age of eleven my brother knew he had to do what
he could to help other children that were hungry and in need. I will never forget this
because this was the moment I knew Christnel would grow up to be a man with a huge
heart for others. A heart that will give and give until he has nothing left.
Those are just some of the reasons why I know Christnel has a heart of gold and is truly a
good person deep down. Thank you, Your Honor, for allowing me to share some of my
brother’s good deeds. I know he regrets to be in these regrettable situations that have led
him here today and I have seen that regret in his eyes and heard it from nis voice. He has
also told me how excited he is to do community service and help those around him better.
He is looking forward to the change he can make in himself to be better not only for himself
but for his family. He has so much more to give to his family and I know for a fact that he will
move forward and better himself.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my letter.
Respectfully yours,
Wilgens Orisca

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter in support of Mr. Christnel Orisca, whom I have had the privilege of
knowing for the past twelve years. During this time, I have known him both as a student and as
a young man growing into adulthood, and I can say without hesitation that he is a person of
strong character, integrity, and good reputation.
Christnel has consistently demonstrated respect, accountability, and a genuine concern for
others. Our relationship has allowed me to observe his character closely over many years, and I
have always found him to be honest, thoughtful, and dependable. He carries himself with
humility, often brings life to any room he is in and consistently shows a willingness to learn from
guidance and life experiences.
One of the qualities I admire most about Christnel is his commitment to serving others. He is
currently involved in regular community service, delivering food weekly to elderly members of
the community. This is not something he does loudly or for recognition, but rather out of a
sincere desire to help those in need. His compassion and reliability in this role speak volumes
about the kind of person he is.
Christnel is a solid young man who understands the importance of accountability and growth. I
truly believe that he has a positive future ahead of him and the capacity to continue contributing
meaningfully to his community. He has shown maturity, perseverance, and a willingness to do
what is right, even when it is not easy.
I respectfully ask that this letter be considered as a sincere reflection of Christnel’s character. I
hold him in high regard and believe he deserves the opportunity to move forward and continue
on a positive path.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Chase Grogan

My name is Cassandra St. Germain, and I am writing this letter as a character reference for
Mr. Christnel Orisca.
I have known Mr. Orisca for over six (6) years, both personally and through our interactions
within our community. During this time, I have consistently known him to be a respectful,

To Whom Concern,
I’m writing this letter on behalf of Christnel Orisca. I’ve known Chris for over 10+ years as we
met in high school. Since meeting, we became close friends, we went through high school
together, we’ve worked together and through that journey I’ve come to know him as a
trustworthy person. Chris is a hardworking individual whom we both have shared the same
dream of becoming law enforcement. It is one of the many things that we connected over which
is our passion to serve our community.
Chris is one of the most responsible people I know. He takes care of his responsibilities and stays
out of trouble. There’s never a dull moment when myself, Chris and our small group of friends
get together. Camaraderie is also important to him, he makes sure that even with our busy lives
we make time to connect. Our close friend group is more than just friends, they're like family and
family show up for each other.

Dear Judge Kobick,
My name is Steevens Beauvoir, a longtime friend of Christnel Orisca, I have known Orisca for
over 10 years. I have known him since I was in Haiti. We moved to the United States, and we
went to the same high school and community college together. Orisca was known for being
determined and open-minded. He balanced his academic responsibilities with extracurricular
activities and still found time to support friends. Whenever school life became stressful, his
positive attitude and sense of humor made difficult days easier to handle.
I am writing this letter in support of Christnel, Orisca. During this time, I have come to know him
as a person of strong character, kindness, and responsibility. Orisca has consistently shown
respect toward others and has always been willing to help those in need. He is an honest,
hardworking, and takes responsibility for his actions. In my experience, he cares deeply about
his family, friends, and community, and he strives to do what is right even in difficult situations.
He can learn, grow, and make positive contributions moving forward.
Respectfully,
I respectfully ask the Court to consider Christnel Orisca’s character, and commitment to
becoming a better person when determining an appropriate sentence.

January 31, 2026
The Honorable Judge Julia E. Kobick
John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse
1 Courthouse Way, Suite 2300
Boston, Massachusetts 02210
Dear Judge Kobick,
My name is Nirva Orisca and Christnel Orisca is my youngest brother. He is one of the most
remarkable human beings I know—not simply because he is my brother, but because of who he
is at his core.
I migrated to the United States in 1997 at the age of 12. Two years later, Christnel was born in
Haiti. I remember counting down the days until I could return home to finally meet him. From
that moment on, we formed a bond that has never broken. As the oldest sibling and him the
youngest, I have always viewed Christnel as my own child. That sense of responsibility shaped
me early in life.
Even at a young age, I worked tirelessly because my goal was always bigger than myself. I
wanted to provide my brothers with the same opportunities I was blessed with. I dreamed of all
of us being together in the United States—working hard, building lives, and making names for
ourselves. After the devastating earthquake in Haiti, I petitioned for my father and stepmother,
and as a result, my three brothers were able to migrate shortly after. Reuniting my family
remains one of my proudest accomplishments as a big sister. I kept my promise.
Christnel and I have remained especially close. He has always looked up to me—whether he
admits it or not. Even his love for LeBron James came from me (and yes, I remind him often).
We share the same drive: a deep love for hard work and travel. We are the first to pick up
overtime and the first to book a flight. We had dreams of traveling the world together.
Christnel has always expressed a passion for law enforcement, and I consistently encouraged
him. I have always wanted my brothers to be successful, respected, and fulfilled. That dream
extended beyond him—it became part of our family’s collective hope.
As a single mother raising my 11-year-old son, Noah, I stressed to my family the importance of
Noah having male figures in his life that he can look up to. Christnel has been the most
incredible role model to him. All of his nieces and nephews adore him, but the bond between
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 23 of 44
Christnel and Noah is something truly special. They are inseparable—two peas in a pod.
Christnel filled a void in my son’s life in ways I will forever be grateful for. The mere thought of
Christnel’s absence has taken a mental toll on Noah and he is already struggling deeply with this
situation.
I believe in second chances. I also believe that every choice has consequences. My brother made
a mistake—and he has paid for it beyond measure. For over two years, someone who loves to
work has been unable to do so, someone who lives for travel has been restricted and someone
who dreamed of a career in law enforcement may never be given that opportunity. The weight of
this reality has been devastating.
Christnel is hurting. Our family is hurting. And as the oldest sister, it pains me every single day
that I cannot take this burden away from him.
This letter is my plea—for compassion, for understanding, and for mercy. My brother deeply
regrets his actions and will never repeat them. I ask, with all my heart, that he not be taken away
from us. His presence matters. His absence would leave a lasting wound on our family,
especially on a young boy who depends on him as a father figure.
I would like to close with a quote from my son, Noah to his uncle, Christnel:
“I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re like a father to me—always there, always
supporting me, and always showing up when nobody else was. I don’t know where you might be
going, but I hope you’re safe. You filled a hole in my life that my dad created, and nobody will
ever take your place as the best uncle on planet Earth.”
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering the impact your decision will
have on an entire family who loves and needs Christnel deeply.
Respectfully,
Nirva Orisca
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 24 of 44
Dear Judge,
My name is Noah, and I am 11 years old. I am writing this letter about my uncle, Christnel
Orisca.
My uncle Christnel is very important to me. He is like a father to me. He is always there when I
need him. He helps me with school, talks to me when I am sad, and makes sure I feel safe. He
shows me how to be a good person and how to work hard. I look up to him more than anyone,
even my mom.
I live with my mom, but my uncle comes over almost everyday. My dad decided he did not want
to be a part of my life but my uncle Christnel fills in. When he is around, I feel supported and
protected. I know I can talk to him about anything. He listens to me and always gives me good
advice. He never makes me feel small or unimportant.
Since my uncle has been going through this situation, I have been really scared and sad. The idea
of him not being here hurts me a lot. I don’t know what I would do without him. I already miss
him so much, and I worry about what will happen if he is taken away.
My uncle made a mistake, but I know he is a good person. He has a big heart and cares deeply
about our family. He has taught me how to respect others, how to stay focused, and how to
believe in myself. I want him to stay here with us so he can keep being part of my life. My dad
already isn't around. I don’t want my uncle to not be around either.
Please consider how important my uncle is to me and our family. I love him very much, and I
hope he can stay.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Sincerely,
Noah

The Honorable Judge Julia E. Kobick
John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse
1 Courthouse Way, Suite 2300
Boston, Massachusetts 02210
Dear Judge Kobick,
My name is BiricaBikira Noel and I am a longtime family friend of the Orisca family. I have
been close with this family for most of my life and have known Christnel Orisca personally for
approximately 9 years. During this time, I have interacted with him regularly at family
gatherings, community events, and during significant periods of his adult life, which has allowed
me to observe his character, values, and personal growth firsthand. I am writing to share my
perspective on Christnel Orisca and to respectfully support him as the Court determines an
appropriate sentence.
In the years I have known Christnel Orisca, he has shown qualities of compassion, reliability,
trustworthiness, accountability, and being growthoriented. I have witnessed firsthand
Christnel’s growth into becoming someone he can be proud of. What I believe ultimately defines
a person is not the mistake itself, but how they respond afterward which is by accepting
responsibility, learning from the experience, and making concrete changes to ensure it is not
repeated. Christnel is someone who recognizes his wrongs, learns from them and is better
moving forward. He has engaged in genuine selfreflection.
Over the past year, as part of his efforts to move forward responsibly, he completed medical
interpreter classes, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to education, accountability, and
meaningful work that benefits others. Christnel has also devoted time to community service,
delivering food to the elderly in the city of Boston. To create structure and maintain
accountability in his daily life, he has consistently dedicated time to physical training at his local
gym, which has served as a constructive outlet, helping him cultivate discipline, focus, and
personal growth during a challenging period.
In addition, I have observed his commitment to being a responsible and positive presence in his
family’s life. Christnel regularly assists with caring for his nieces and nephews, including
babysitting and transporting them to their sports practices. He has spoken openly about his desire
1
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 26 of 44
to be a better role model for them, and I have seen him take that responsibility seriously and
consistently.
Christnel’s continued presence in his family and community matters because he has
demonstrated a sincere commitment to living responsibly and contributing positively to those
who rely on him. His rehabilitation has not been abstract or aspirational; it has been reflected in
consistent, everyday actions that show accountability, structure, and care for others.
I respectfully ask the Court to consider Christnel Orisca’s character, growth, and genuine
commitment to becoming a better person when determining an appropriate sentence.

Bunker Hill Community College
250 New Rutherford Avenue · Boston, MA 02129-2925 · bhcc.mass.edu
Accreditation
Bunker Hill Community College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and
Colleges through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education.
Credit System
The semester hour is the primary unit of credit.
Disclosure of Information
The Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, prohibits disclosure of
information from this transcript to third parties without the written consent of the student.
Repeating a Course
Students may repeat courses in which they earn a grade of D, F, W, WA, or NA. Students can
petition the Registrar’s Office to repeat a course when they have obtained a C grade or better
but should recognize that they do so at a substantial risk. This process may be used no more
than three times for courses with a letter grade of C or better. Repeating a course when the
earlier attempt is a C or better is allowed only if the higher course grade is a course prerequisite
or program requirement to continue in or enter a specific academic program. The grade in the
final attempt automatically becomes the official grade for purposes of calculating grade point
average and for determining eligibility for graduation. The grades for each attempt, however,
are recorded and always remain on the student’s transcript. Repeating a course may not be
allowed in specific programs with outside accreditation.
Graduation with Honors
As of September 2005, Graduation with Honors is awarded to students who have completed all
graduation requirements for an associate degree and have achieved a Grade Point Average (GPA)
of 3.30 to 3.49, less developmental credits; High Honors is awarded for GPA of 3.50-3.89, less
developmental credits; and Highest Honors is awarded for GPA of 3.90 or above, less
developmental credits.
From September 1973-August 2005, Graduation with Honors was awarded to students who have
completed all graduation requirements for an associate degree and have achieved a Grade Point
Average (GPA) of 3.50-3.74, less developmental credits; High Honors was awarded for GPA of
3.75-3.99, less developmental credits; and Highest Honors was awarded for GPA of 4.0, less
developmental credits.
MassTransfer Program/Block
Students who choose to transfer before graduating, but who have completed the
MassTransfer Block will satisfy the core/distribution/general education requirements at any
public institution of higher education in Massachusetts.
MassTransfer Designations
Students that complete a course that is considered part of the MassTransfer Block will have
the MassTransfer designation in the remarks column:

Review Your Course Dates, Times, and Formats
Please take a moment to carefully review your course schedule. It's important to ensure
you have registered for the correct classes and fully understand the session dates,
times, and formats.
• In-Person: Classes meet physically on or off campus on specific days and times.
This format allows for face-to-face instruction in a small class setting.
• Online: All coursework occurs independently online with no scheduled class
times. Coursework will have required due dates throughout the semester,
offering convenience for those needing flexible scheduling.
• Video Conference: Classes meet virtually at specific days and times using a
video conferencing program like Zoom, allowing live interaction with the
instructor and students in a virtual environment.
• Hybrid: A combination of any two of the above learning options:
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 40 of 44
o Hybrid Campus/Online: This popular hybrid option combines face-to-
face instruction on campus with independent online coursework.
o Hybrid Campus/Video Conference: Ideal for students who prefer
face-to-face instruction but cannot travel to campus every day.
Classes meet on specific days and times, with some sessions on
campus and others conducted virtually.
o Hybrid Online/Video Conference: A fully remote experience that
includes one or two scheduled class days and times each week, with
the remaining coursework completed independently online.
For a more detailed explanation of course formats, please visit the Massasoit Course
Format Definitions page.
The information above is accurate as of the date of this email. For additional enrollment
details and policies, please refer to the MyMassasoit Portal. If you make changes to
your schedule, please note that you will not receive an additional confirmation email. To
confirm any changes and view your current schedule, please visit Student Self-Service.
Select "Student Schedule" from the menu on the left, and then select the appropriate
term.
Additionally, please take a moment to review your personal and demographic
information above. If any updates are needed, contact Student Central
at studentcentral@massasoit.mass.edu.
Fall 2025 Billing and Financial Aid Information
Your Fall 2025 bill is due by August 06, 2025. An invoice with detailed billing
information will be sent to your Massasoit email account. You can address your bill by
making a payment in full, enrolling in a payment plan, submitting third-party sponsorship
documentation, or ensuring that your financial aid application is complete. If you are
participating in the free community college
programs, MassReconnect or MassEducate, please confirm that your Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Massachusetts Application for State Financial Aid
(MASFA) has been completed, and that you meet eligibility requirements listed below.
Important: If you do not address your bill by the due date, a financial hold may be
placed on your account, preventing future course registration. You may review your
account balance by selecting "Account Detail" from Student Self-Service.
Free Community College with MassReconnect & MassEducate
Massachusetts residents may qualify for free community college through the
MassReconnect and MassEducate programs. These programs cover tuition, fees, and
may include an allowance for books and supplies.
Eligibility Requirements:
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 41 of 44
• Enroll in an eligible associate degree or certificate program.
• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
o If you are ineligible for the FAFSA due to citizenship status, you may
still apply for Massachusetts state financial aid by completing
the Massachusetts Application for State Financial Aid (MASFA),
provided you qualify under the Massachusetts Tuition Equity Law.
Along with the MASFA, you will also need to complete one of the
following forms. Links to these forms are available on the MASFA
page:
- Students who have completed high school must complete
the Tuition Equity Eligibility Form and Affidavit for High School
Completers.
- Students who are still in high school must complete the Alternative
Tuition Equity Eligibility Form and Affidavit (for High School
Seniors Only).
• Be a Massachusetts resident for at least one year before the start of the term.
• Have earned a high school diploma or equivalent.
• Have not earned a bachelor's degree or more than one prior associate degree.
• Enroll in at least six credits per semester and maintain satisfactory academic
progress.
For more information, email Student Central at studentcentral@massasoit.mass.edu.
Student Health Insurance
If you are a degree or certificate-seeking student enrolled in at least nine credits, you
are required to either enroll in the Student Health Insurance Program (SHIP) or provide
proof of comparable coverage. This requirement applies to all students, including those
enrolled under Free Community College programs. If you already have health insurance
that meets the SHIP's coverage standards, you can waive the insurance premium on
your bill by completing a Health Insurance Waiver. If you have MassHealth, you are not
required to enroll in SHIP and may waive the insurance charge, unless you are enrolled
in the Children's Medical Security Plan, Healthy Net, or MassHealth Health Plan, as
these plans do not meet the qualifying coverage criteria. The health insurance waiver
must be completed annually, but if you submitted a waiver in the Fall semester, you do
not need to submit another one for the Spring.
If you are a financial aid recipient, including students in free community college
programs, and plan to use financial aid to purchase SHIP, you must complete a Title IV
Authorization Form to allow your financial aid to cover some or all of the insurance
costs.
Thank you for choosing Massasoit, and best of luck this semester!
Sincerely,
Case 1:24-cr-10378-JEK Document 46 Filed 05/05/26 Page 42 of 44
