Case No. 11-20706
07-19-2012
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. QUENTIN SHERER, Defendant.
ORDER TERMINATING AS MOOT THE GOVERNMENT'S
MOTIONS TO COMPEL DNA SAMPLE FROM DEFENDANT
During a pretrial conference held on December 22, 2011, the Government moved the court to compel Defendant to provide a DNA sample to facilitate laboratory testing of evidence recovered in this case. Defendant initially refused to supply such a sample, prompting the Government to file two written motions to compel on December 27, 2011, and January 17, 2012. However, after Defendant obtained substitute counsel, he filed a response indicating he would voluntarily provide the buccal swab requested by the Government. Defendant has since done so, and both parties have conducted DNA analyses using that sample. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the "Oral Motion by Government for DNA Sample" [12/22/11 Minute Entry], the "Motion to Compel DNA" [Dkt. # 14], and the second "Motion to Compel DNA" [Dkt. # 22] are TERMINATED AS MOOT.
