II. The Defendants Required Disclosures

The government hereby requests reciprocal discovery under Rule 16(b) of the
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The government requests that the defendant allow
inspection and copying of: (1) any books, papers, documents, data, photographs, tapes,
tangible objects, or copies or portions thereof, that are in the defendants possession, custody
or control, and that the defendant intends to introduce as evidence or otherwise rely on at
trial; and (2) any results or reports of physical or mental examinations and of scientific tests
or experiments made in connection with this case, or copies thereof, that are in the
defendants possession, custody or control, and that the defendant intends to introduce as
evidence or otherwise rely upon at trial, or that were prepared by a witness whom the
defendant intends to call at trial.

The government also requests that the defendant disclose prior statements of
witnesses who will be called by the defendant to testify. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 26.2. In order
to avoid unnecessary delays, the government requests that the defendant have copies of those
statements available for production to the government no later than the commencement of
trial.

The government also requests that the defendant disclose a written summary
of testimony that the defendant intends to use as evidence at trial under Rules 702, 703, and
705 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The summary should describe the opinions of the
witnesses, the bases and reasons for the opinions, and the qualification of the witnesses.

Pursuant to Rule 12.1(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the
government hereby demands written notice, to be served within ten days of this demand, if
the defendant intends to offer a defense of alibi. The written notice shall state the specific
place or places at which the defendant claims to have been at the time of the alleged offense,
and the names and addresses of the witnesses upon whom the defendant intends to rely to
establish such alibi. The offense took place at the location, dates, and times specified in the
Indictment.

Pursuant to Rule 12.3 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the
government hereby demands written notice of the defendants intention, if any, to claim a
defense of actual or believed exercise of public authority, and also demands the names and
addresses of the witnesses upon whom the defendant intends to rely in establishing the
defense identified in any such notice.

III. Future Discussions

If you have any questions or requests regarding further discovery or a
disposition of this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please be advised that, pursuant to the policy of the Office concerning plea
offers and negotiations, no plea offer is effective unless and until made in writing and signed
by authorized representatives of the Office. In particular, any discussion regarding the
pretrial disposition of a matter that is not reduced to writing and signed by authorized
representatives of the Office cannot and does not constitute a formal offer or a plea offer,
as those terms are used in Lafler v. Cooper, 132 S. Ct. 1376 (2012), and Missouri v. Frye,
132 S. Ct. 1399 (2012).

Very truly yours,
