D E C L A R A T I O N

I, CAROLYN K. DELANEY, declare as follows: 

1. I am an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of

California and am familiar with the facts described below. 

2. Since the last setting of the trial in this matter, AUSA

Kyle Reardon and I have substituted in as trial counsel. 

3. I am familiar with the procedural posture of this case and

have reviewed the Court’s rulings regarding the intended defense at

trial.

4. On January 2, 2008, I filed a Motion to Dismiss Counts

Three and Four of the Superseding Indictment. That Motion was

granted by Judge Karlton on January 4, 2008.

5. On or about January 3, 2008, I learned from defense counsel

that the Court had authorized ex parte Rule 17c subpoenas requested

by the defense. Apparently three subpoenas had been issued on

January 2, 2008, with a scheduled compliance hearing on January 9,

2008, before Magistrate Judge Hollows. 

6. I have reviewed the three subpoenas (one for the Department

of Justice, one for the Department of Homeland Security, and one for

the Federal Bureau of Investigation) and believe that the subpoenas

are overbroad, unduly burdensome, and irrelevant.

7. I have discussed the matter with Ms. Negin and intend to

file a Motion to Quash to subpoenas. Ms. Negin informed me that she

intends to file a simultaneous Motion for Reconsideration regarding

the presentation of the defense theory of the case.

8. Ms. Negin and I agreed that given Court’s prior rulings,

and the procedural posture of the case at this time, it would be

prudent to vacate the hearing before Judge Hollows on January 9,

2008, allow time for the parties to file whatever documents they

wish, and to schedule a hearing as appropriate for January 15, 2008,

before Judge Karlton to join with the previously-scheduled Trial

Confirmation Hearing.

9. I told Ms. Negin of my intention to file the instant

pleading and she indicated that she had no opposition to it. 

I declare under the penalties of perjury that the

foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Executed

this 8th day of January, 2008. 

/s/ Carolyn Delaney
