Order Regarding the Parties' Designations of Portions of Two Voluntary Statements and Objections

[ECF No. 319]

ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.

The Government has designated as trial exhibits portions of Mr. Cohen's two statements to the police. ECF No. 315. Mr. Cohen submitted counter-designations and one objection. The Government filed a response to Mr. Cohen's submittal. ECF No. 319. Below are my rulings on these issues.

Statement 1 (ECF No. 319-1), Page 21

The Government's objection is sustained. Mr. Cohen's proposed designation is inadmissible hearsay and not admissible under the rule of completeness. This portion of the transcript is excluded.

Statement 2 (ECF No. 319-2), Pages 6-8

The Government does not object to Mr. Cohen's designations, but requests to add additional designations on page 6. That request is granted. The additional material may be included.
