UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. THOMAS BRANUM
Judge Nixon
ORDER
Pending before the Court are Defendant Thomas Branum's two Motions to Join Co-Defendant Motions ("Motions to Join"). (Doc. Nos. 1713; 1756.) Mr. Branum requests to join Defendant Paul McQuiddy's Motion for Daily Transcript (Doc. No. 423), which was granted by the Court on January 4, 2013 (Doc. No. 1598). (Doc. No. 1713.) Mr. Branum also requests to join motions to determine the admissibility of co-conspirator statements and memoranda in support filed by Defendants McQuiddy, Monterius Pollard, James Campbell, and Christopher Moody (Doc. Nos. 604-05; 656-57; 1179; 1546), on which the Court held a hearing on January 22, 2013, and which remain pending before the Court. (Doc. No. 1756.)
The arguments made by Defendants McQuiddy, Pollard, Campbell, and Moody in their motions and supporting documents apply equally to Mr. Branum. (See Doc. Nos. 423; 604-05; 656-57; 1179; 1546.) Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Motions to Join (Doc. Nos. 1713; 1756) with respect to the above-named documents (Doc. Nos. 423; 604-05; 656-57; 1179; 1546). Per the Court's Order granting the Motion for Daily Transcript (Doc. No. 1598), the Court ORDERS counsel for Mr. Branum to file a CJA Form 24 with the court reporter no later than January 28, 2013. The Court GRANTS Mr. Branum's Motion to Strike his Previous Motion to Join (Doc. No. 1757), and ORDERS Mr. Branum's Motion to Join Co-Defendant Motions (Doc. No. 1712) to be stricken from the record.
It is so ORDERED.
