ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This case is referred to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge, for all pretrial matters. The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate judge (Doc. No. 190), which recommends granting the Government's "Motion to Exclude Evidence or in the Alternative to Hold an Evidentiary Hearing" (Doc. No. 177). No objections have been filed to the Report and Recommendation, and the time for doing so has passed. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); FED. R. CRIM. P. 59(b)(2).
It is, therefore, ORDERED that the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 190) is ADOPTED; the Government's "Motion to Exclude Evidence or in the Alternative to Hold an Evidentiary Hearing" (Doc. No. 177) is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that the Defendants, their attorneys, and witnesses cannot mention or bring before the jury panel or the jury, either directly or indirectly, upon voir dire, opening or closing statement, interrogation of any witness, the offer or reading of any exhibit or discovery response in the case, arguments or objections before the jury, or in any manner or means inform the jury or bring to the jury's attention that any of the Defendants ever relied on the advice of counsel as it pertains to the allegations set forth in the instant Indictment.
SIGNED this the 20 day of May, 2021.
