Narrative:

Flight was given a clearance to cross doccs intersection at 11000 ft and 250 KTS. At the time we were at FL240 and approximately 50 mi west of doccs. Descent was begun immediately. Subsequently, the #1 flight attendant came into the cockpit to update us on a water leak problem in the aft galley. The discussion on this leak continued after the flight attendant left the cockpit and the descent for the crossing restr was not monitored sufficiently. We crossed doccs intersection at approximately 14000 ft and 280 KTS. Remainder of flight was uneventful.
