UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. PATRICK LAU, Defendant.
SCHEDULING ORDER
Jesse M. Furman, United States District Judge
The Court has been advised that the Defendant may want to enter a change of plea. Accordingly, the parties shall appear for a conference with the Court on January 23, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. in Courtroom 1105 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York.
In accordance with Section 7(B) of the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Criminal Cases, defense counsel should, in advance of the proceeding, review with the Defendant - if necessary, with the assistance of an interpreter - any Pimentel letter or plea agreement. Additionally, the Defendant should be prepared to give narrative allocutions that incorporate all of the elements of the offense(s) to which the Defendant is pleading guilty. In the interest of clarity and efficiency, the Court encourages counsel to assist the Defendant in writing an allocution that can be read in open court during the plea proceeding.
SO ORDERED.
