Opinion
Criminal No. 3:11-00082
10-17-2012
Judge Trauger
ORDER
In a sealed motion filed with the court, a defense counsel has stated that the "Government has indicated that Jencks material will be turned over to counsel the evening before the witness testifies. . . ." At the pretrial conference held on September 26, 2012, the government represented that it would be turning over most of the Jencks material "at the latest" on the day before the trial and that it might withhold a few Jencks statements until the day before the witness testifies. The representation of defense counsel does not comport with the representations made by the government at the pretrial conference.
It is hereby ORDERED that, by 12:00 noon on Thursday, October 18, 2012, the government shall file a notice indicating its timetable for turning over Jencks material to the defense. As stated at the pretrial conference, the court's primary concern is that there be no delays in the trial because of the later turnover of Jencks material to defense counsel.
It is so ORDERED.
