RE: Motions ICO U.S. v. Wuterich

[Gannon Maj Nicholas L]

Your Honor, 

In theory, the government does not object to the cancelation of the 13-14 May 2010 39a session.  However, the government does respectfully request that the defense respond to our motions by the scheduled due date.  Their responses could, depending on how the defense response, require some additional litigation and we do not want to jeopardize the 13 September 2010 trial date.  Specifically, if the defense makes an MRE 106 objection to our motion to admit DVDs 3, 4, and 8, of AE 58, that could require some follow-on litigation, and as such, we believe that the defense should be required to submit a response to our motion before we cancel the 13-14 May 2010 39a session.  I believe that the defense responses will determine
whether we need to hold the May 39a.    

Also, on 16 April 2010, the government received the defense witness request.
On 20 April 2010, the government responded to that request.  We denied several of their requested witnesses.  If the defense intends to move the Court to compel any of the witnesses we denied on 20 April 2010, the government feels that it would be better to litigate witness production sooner rather than later, and thus, that too may make the May 39a session a
good idea, depending on the defense.    

Finally, in Mr. Puckett's response to the Court's email, he indicated that the government had approved all of the defense expert witnesses to date.
Some time ago, we requested that the defense counsel provide us a list of the experts they intend to employ, and a justification/ statement of work for each.  This was to ensure that all contracts are in place, and active in FY10.  I could be wrong, but I don't think that we received that list.  It is entirely possible that the defense has already coordinated directly with the MARCENT SJA's office, and thus this could be a moot issue.  However, if I am correct, and we still need to renew all of the contracts for the defense experts, we will need to get the experts identified and funded ASAP so that contracting issues do not effect the trial dates.  

In short, I do not believe that we have approved any defense expert at this time because I do not believe that there are any contracts in place for FY 2010.  This is not to say that we are going to deny all of the defense experts, but we do need to get all of the paperwork perfected in order to avoid delay.

Very respectfully,
Major Gannon

Your Honor,
As the govt had already approved all necessary experts, the defense concurs.
