The trial previously scheduled for defendant(s) Mark Schena on May 10, 2022, 01:30 PM at Courtroom 4, 5th Floor, 280 So. First Street, San Jose, CA has been rescheduled by the court. VNS will continue to provide you with updated case scheduling and event information.

A trial is scheduled before Judge Edward Davila on July 26, 2022, 09:00 AM at Courtroom 4, 5th Floor, 280 So. First Street, San Jose, CA for the case which involves defendant(s) Mark Schena.

Please be aware that many criminal cases are resolved by a plea agreement between the United States Attorney's Office and the defendant. You should also know that it is not unusual for a defendant to seek to negotiate a plea agreement shortly before a trial is scheduled to begin. Plea agreements can be made at any time and as late as the morning of trial, leaving little or no opportunity to provide notice to you of the date and time of the plea hearing. If the court schedules a plea hearing in this case, we will use our best efforts to notify you of available information as soon as practicable. If you want to inform the prosecutor of your views regarding potential plea agreements, or any other aspect of the case, please contact the prosecutor assigned to this case or me.

Unless you have received a subpoena to attend as a witness in this matter, your attendance is not required. Because of the Court's schedule, hearing dates could change on very short notice. If you plan on attending, you may want to call the VNS Call Center or check the web site to confirm the date and time.

Because of the Court's schedule, hearing dates could change on very short notice. If you plan on attending, you may want to call the VNS Call Center or check the website to confirm the date and time. Please note, there is a 24-hour delay in information transfer to the website.
