The dismissal affected Gunjan Aggarwal, a defendant in what appears to be a multi-defendant criminal case. The government moved to dismiss Counts Three, Nine, and Ten of the superseding indictment as part of Aggarwal's plea agreement following her sentencing hearing on April 3.
The motion arose from confusion during the sentencing hearing when prosecutors made an oral motion that included counts for which Aggarwal was not actually charged. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar granted the government's written clarification, with prosecutors noting they wanted to "ensure clarity" after discussions with the assigned probation officer revealed the confusion.
The case appears to be part of a larger prosecution involving multiple defendants, as indicated by the case styling "USA v. Thandi, et al." Aggarwal was sentenced following a plea agreement, though the specific charges and sentence were not detailed in the brief dismissal order.
The dismissal cleans up the record following Aggarwal's sentencing and removes the dismissed counts from any future proceedings. The broader case against other defendants appears to continue, though the status of co-defendants was not addressed in the filing.
