A DC Superior Court judge continued a hearing to possibly resolve a felony marijuana case.

Nolan Sundita, 32, is charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Sundita and his co-defendant, Moustafa Wali, picked up the case after Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers allegedly found around 40 pounds of marijuana while executing a search warrant of his Watergate Hotel room on Nov. 18, 2019.

During the Aug. 31 hearing, defense attorney Shawn Sukumar said his client was interested in taking a plea offer that the prosecution extended. 

The plea offer does not apply to Wali, who has a bench warrant out for his arrest due to not appearing in court.


Judge Rainey Brandt scheduled Sundita’s next hearing for Sept. 28.
