ORDER
Hon. Anthony R. Mautone United States Magistrate Judge.
Pursuant to Rule 5(f) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and as set forth on the record during the initial appearance of the defendant on this 26th day of May, 2021, in the presence of both the prosecutor and defense counsel in this matter, the Court confirms the United States' continuing obligation to produce all material exculpatory evidence to the defendant pursuant to Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) and its progeny, and orders it to do so. Failing to do so in a timely manner for the defendant's effective use at trial or sentencing may result in consequences, including, but not limited to, the Court's order to produce information, the granting of a continuance, the exclusion of evidence, adverse jury instructions, dismissal of charges, contempt proceedings, or sanctions by the Court.
