the Southern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Jennifer

It's conspiracy
to commit honest services wire
fraud. Judge: I have before me
your plea agreement, which

is 12 to 18 months. Do you
understand? Davila: Yes. Davila: I
did this for a prisoner I
later married to have conjugal
visits with. Judge:
Sentencing control date Dec 6.

psychiatric exam, mentioning
the inmate with whom she had
commenced an intimate affair,

on March 10. On February 21,
the US Attorney's Office wrote
in asking for 12 months
