Pursuant to the Court's August 19, 2024 Order, in addition to the transcripts of Special Agent Thoreson's grand jury testimony, the Government also was to provide for in camera inspection any other statements of Special Agent Thoreson, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 3500(e) and Fed. R. Crim. P. 26.2(f), that is in the Government's possession which relates to the subject matter of his anticipated testimony at the suppression hearing scheduled to occur on August 29, 2024. Given that the Government did not provide the Court any other statement of Special Agent Thoreson for in camera inspection, the Court deems its review to be complete. The Government is encouraged to produce the aforementioned portions of the grand jury transcripts to defense counsel as soon as is practicable.
