VINCENT J. FUMO, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Albert G. Lauber Judge
These consolidated cases are calendared on the Court's October 3, 2022, trial session in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On September 7, 2022, respondent filed a Motion in Limine requesting a ruling that transcripts of testimony delivered by nine witnesses during petitioner's criminal trial, United States v. Vincent J. Fumo, et al, Crim. No. 06-00319, are admissible into evidence notwithstanding petitioner's hearsay objections. All nine witness are now deceased, hence "unavailable," and respondent contends that the transcripts of their testimony are admissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 804(b)(1). Upon due consideration, it
ORDERED that petitioner shall file with the Court, on or before September 28, 2022, a response to respondent's Motion in Limine, filed September 7, 2022. The Court will hear argument on the Motion at the outset of trial on October 3.
