ORDER GRANTING IN PART DEFENDANT MENDOZA'S MOTION FOR EARLY PRETRIAL DISCLOSURES BY THE GOVERNMENT

[Re: ECF 188]

BETH LABSON FREEMAN, District Judge.

Defendant Araceli Mendoza's Motion for Early Pretrial Disclosures by the Government was heard on February 18, 2020. Defendant seeks an order directing the Government to provide early disclosure of "(1) expert witness and Bruton information and materials; (2) Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b) information and materials; and, (3) Jencks/Brady/Giglio information and materials and case-related grand jury materials." Def.'s Motion at 1, ECF 188. Defendant requests disclosure of these materials on or about March 13, 2020, four months in advance of the July 13, 2020 trial date. See id. at 2.

The Government opposes Defendant's request for disclosure of these materials four months before trial. As the Government points out, disclosure of Jencks material is required only after the witness's direct examination. See 18 U.S.C. § 3500(a), (b); Fed. R. Crim. P. 26.2(a). The Government asserts that disclosure of other materials so far in advance of trial is not practicable, as the Government is still in the process of deciding what witnesses and evidence it will present. The Government has offered to provide all materials thirty days before trial. See Gov't's Opp. at 2, ECF 189. As it stated on the record at the hearing, the Court finds the Government's offer to be reasonable.

Accordingly, for the reasons stated on the record at the February 18, 2020 hearing and in this order, Defendant Mendoza's Motion for Early Pretrial Disclosures by the Government is GRANTED IN PART. Consistent with the Government's offer, the Government SHALL produce the materials at issue on or before June 12, 2020.1

This order terminates ECF 188.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
