UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. MARYSOL MUNIZ, Defendant.
ORDER
W. LOUIS SANDS, SR. JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Before the Cout is the Government's Motion to Dismiss Indictment (Doc. 83). Therein, the Government moves pursuant to Rule 48(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to dismiss the Indictment (Doc. 1) against Defendant Marysol Muniz because her co-defendant in the case, Moyses Muniz, pleaded guilty on January 11, 2024, and exonerated Defendant Marysol Muniz of all culpability.
Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure Rule 48(a) the Government may, with leave of the court, dismiss an indictment. Based on the Government's stated reason, the Court finds good cause to dismiss the Indictment (Doc. 1) against Defendant Marysol Muniz. The Court, therefore, DISMISSES the Indictment (Doc. 1) with respect to the charges against Defendant Marysol Muniz. In more detail, the Court DISMISSES Count I of the indictment in its entirety; the Court DISMISSES Count II of the Indictment only with respect to Defendant Marysol Muniz; and the Court DISMISSES Count III of the Indictment in its entirety.
SO ORDERED,
