ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the defendant's Motion for New Trial pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 33, (Doc. No. 286), the government's Response, (Doc. No. 292), and the defendant's Reply, (Doc. No. 293).

The instant motion is the defendant's latest attempt to re-litigate the nature of a California conviction that the Court determined during the trial, immediately following the trial, and at sentencing qualified as a felony. (Doc. No. 218: Order; Doc. No. 272: Sent. Hr'g Tr. at 9). The defendant now presents 1991 conviction records as "newly discovered evidence" more than three years after the verdict. Therefore, it is untimely. Fed. R. Crim. P. 33(b)(1). Additionally, the information in the conviction records is already part of the record and does not alter the Court's previous rulings.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the defendant's Motion for New Trial, (Doc. No. 286), is DENIED.
