UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF ARIZONA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, vs. HARVEY L. SLONIKER, JR., TYE SLONIKER, KINDY JONAGAN, ROBERT SHINN, RICHARD NAIL, and JOHN DESIDERIO, Defendants.
CASE NO. 04-CR-820-PHX-FJM

REPLY TO MOTION TO PRECLUDE INTRODUCTION OF EXPERT WITNESSES (Assigned to the Hon. Frederick J. Martone)

The Government, by its own admission, admits that it did not comply with this Court's Order regarding expert witnesses. The Disclosure was due on August 1, 2005. The

Government states that it still intends to disclose a curriculum vitae as to Ginger Bergman (the designated expert from Visa on risk factors,) Agent Kollas, Agent Healferty and John Gorjazyk. (Response, p.2, ll.16-21.) The Government also states that it intends to provide additional details on the anticipated opinion testimony of Ms. Bergman. Id. Moreover, a review of the paltry Disclosure under Rule 16 by the Government, shows that it is totally devoid of the requirements of Rule 16 which require witnesses' opinions, the basis and reasons for these opinions and the witnesses' qualifications. The deficiencies in this case are hardly "hyper-technical," as the Government opines.

Therefore, pursuant to Rule 16(d)(2)(C,) it is respectfully requested that the Court enter an Order precluding the Government's use of expert testimony. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 24th day of October, 2005. MATHEW & MATHEW, P.C By: _____s/Ivan K. Mathew________ Ivan K. Mathew Attorneys for RICHARD NAIL
