Opinion
Criminal Case No. 10-cr-00317-REB-01

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. 1. CURTIS L. MORRIS, Defendant.
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
ORDER
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before me sua sponte concerning Defendant Morris' Motion To Strike Proposed Expert Testimony of IRS-CID Special Agent Riordan, Or in the Alternative, for an Evidentiary Hearing Pursuant to FR.E. [sic] 702 [#230] filed May 11, 2011. The government has not filed a response.
"[#230]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
During the status conference on November 1, 2011, I advised the parties that I would issue a marshaling order to address the issue of expert testimony generally and this motion specifically. However, after considering the motion further, I conclude that the government should be required to file a response to the motion.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that by December 12, 2011, the government SHALL FILE a response to Defendant Morris' Motion To Strike Proposed Expert Testimony of IRS-CID Special Agent Riordan, Or in the Alternative, for an Evidentiary Hearing Pursuant to FR.E. [sic] 702 [#230] filed May 11, 2011.
BY THE COURT:
Robert E. Blackburn
United States District Judge
