Re: U.S. v. KEEFE -- FILING: GOV'T MOTION FOR DEPOSITION (8 MAR 10)



Judge,
On West Coast this week but happy to schedule an 802. May I correct some misinformation? The defense has in no way indicated an objection as to admissibility. Unless the Military Judge has a need to discuss other matters, we see no need for an 802 on this isssue.

Counsel: We need to schedule an 802 on subject motion, with a view to scheduling a 39a if necessary. I have not received the defense response, but was advised yesterday at docket call that 1) the defense does not object to the deposition, but 2) would object to the admission of the deposition at trial.

In the interests of judicial efficiency, I am reluctant to forge ahead with an order for a deposition in Baghdad with CDR Carlos as deposition officer absent a resolution of whether the deposition is ultimately admissible at trial. If the deposition were not ultimately admissible at trial, it appears to me possible that this case may be tried in Baghdad if either side seeks the alleged victim's testimony. If this case is going to be tried in Baghdad, we need to know that now, rather than later.

TC: Please coordinate a time as soon as possible this week that we can have a telephonic 802 to resolve the way ahead. I am available this week with these exceptions.

Wednesday:  unavailabe from 1300-1400 EDT.
Thursday: I'm traveling to DC for classified document review in my OMC case, and will be on the road from 0630-0930 and again from 1400-1700. Other than that, my schedule is flexible while I'm there.

Look forward to talking to you sometime shortly,
