The court scheduled a change of plea hearing for defendant Marves Fairley on May 12, 2026, at 3 p.m. The hearing will take place in person before Magistrate Judge Joseph A. Marutollo in Courtroom 11A South.

The government must submit several documents to the judge's chambers by May 4, 2026, including an elements sheet, a plea penalty sheet known as a Pimentel letter, a letter stating its position on detention or release, and other relevant paperwork. This scheduling order was entered on May 1, 2026, by Magistrate Judge Marutollo.

The referral to a magistrate judge for the plea hearing suggests the case is moving toward resolution without trial. The government’s required submissions will inform the court’s evaluation of the plea and any detention issues. The docket number and court have not been disclosed publicly, but the case remains active.

The next procedural step will be the change of plea hearing itself, where Fairley is expected to formally enter a plea. The outcome of that hearing will determine whether the case proceeds to sentencing or returns to litigation. The government’s position on detention could affect whether Fairley remains in custody pending sentencing or release.

This case is now at a critical juncture, shifting from pretrial motions and discovery toward plea resolution under Magistrate Judge Marutollo’s oversight.
