1. Trial. The trial will commence with the drawing of a jury on a

date to be determined at the arraignment.

1.1 A motion for a continuance shall be filed no later than ten (10)

days prior to the date set for jury drawing.

2. Summary of Indictment. Counsel for the government may elect

to read the indictment to the prospective jurors at voir dire or to file with the Clerk

one week before jury drawing a concise summary of the indictment to be read to

the prospective jurors. Such summary shall avoid, if practicable, a count by count

reference to the indictment. The complete current caption of the case, eliminating

pejorative appellations of the Defendants, shall appear on the summary so that the

names of all current defendants may be called to the attention of the prospective

jurors. Such summary shall not be bound with other papers. If defense counsel

objects to the summary drafted by government counsel, such defense counsel shall

file objections thereto and a proposed alternative summary with the Clerk at least

three (3) working days before the jury drawing. Promptly thereafter counsel for

the Government and the objecting defense counsel shall confer by telephone and

attempt in good faith to agree upon a summary of the indictment. If agreement

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 2 of 20
upon such a summary of the indictment is reached, government counsel shall file

the agreed summary of the indictment, so labeled, with the Clerk of Court by 8:30

a.m. on the day the jury drawing is expected to commence. If no agreement upon

such a summary of the indictment is reached, counsel shall notify the Clerk of such

fact at least by noon on the working day before the drawing of the jury is expected

to commence and the clerk will set a time for a meeting of counsel with the Court

to resolve the matter. 

3. Motions (including motions in limine).

3.1 Concurrence by Opposing Counsel. All motions prior to

trial shall be electronically filed, and shall, with the exception of ex

parte motions, contain a certification by counsel for the movant that

he has sought concurrence in the motion by opposing counsel and it

has been either given or denied. See Local Rule 7.1. If counsel

cannot reach opposing counsel to seek such a concurrence, counsel

shall be under a continuing duty to seek a concurrence and file the

appropriate certificate. The concurrence need not be sought of or by

pro se defendants. The certificate shall be on a separate sheet of

paper, stapled to the motion, immediately following it and before

documents, if any, substantiating the motion. Failure to attach the

certificate will result in denial of the motion.

3.2 Multiple Motions. Except where alternative motions are

filed, no more than one motion shall be under one cover.

3.3 Service by Movant and Respondent. The provisions of

Local Rule 7.2 apply to this case.

3.4 Documents Substantiating Motion. The provisions of

Local Rule 7.3 apply to this case.

3.5 Certificates of Service. Certificates of service and

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 3 of 20
notices shall be attached to the motion following the certificate of

concurrence or non-concurrence.

3.6 Submission of Briefs Supporting Motions. Where the

moving party has secured concurrence in the motion by counsel for

each other party and the facts are fully set forth in the motion, the

moving party need not file a brief supporting the motion. In cases

where the Court finds that despite concurrence of counsel briefs in

support of the motion will be helpful to the Court in disposing of the

motion, the Court will order briefing on the motion. Except as to

motions fully concurred in, the provisions of Local Rule 7.5 shall

apply to this case. The supporting brief shall be under separate cover

from the motion. Where a post-trial motion has not been concurred

in, within thirty (30) days after the last day of trial, whether or not the

transcript has been filed, the moving party shall electronically file a

supporting brief with the Court. If the supporting brief is not filed

within the time provided in this order or any other briefing schedule

set by the Court, such motion will be denied. Except where

alternative motions are filed, each brief shall treat only one motion. 

No brief shall be filed both in support of a motion and in opposition to

another motion.

3.7 Submission of Briefs Opposing Motions. The provisions

of Local Rule 7.6 shall apply to this case. However, if the motion is

served less than twenty (20) days prior to the date set for the drawing

of the jury, the responsive brief shall be filed on a date halfway

between the date of service of the motion and the date of the jury

drawing. Any party opposing any post-trial motion shall

electronically file a responsive brief with the Court, together with any

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 4 of 20
opposing affidavits, transcripts, or other documents within twenty (20)

days after the service of the movant’s brief. Except where alternative

motions are filed, each brief shall treat only one motion. Failure of a

respondent to comply with this sub-paragraph or any other briefing

schedule set by the Court shall constitute a waiver of opposition to

such motion and the motion will be granted.

3.8 Motions to Extend or Shorten Time. A motion to extend

or shorten time may be granted by the Court without waiting for a

responsive brief.

3.9 Reply Briefs. The provisions of Local Rules 7.7 and 7.32

shall apply to this case. The Court reserves the right to rule on any

motion without the benefit of a reply brief.

3.10 Contents of Briefs. The provisions of Local Rules 7.8

and 7.33 apply to this case. Photocopies of all articles and opinions

not reported in official United States Reports, official Pennsylvania

reports, Federal Reporter, Federal Supplement or Federal Rules

Decisions shall be submitted with the briefs.

3.11 Submission on Briefs. The provisions of Local Rule 7.9

shall apply to this case. Submissions and determinations of motions

shall be upon briefs, without hearing or oral argument, unless the

Court specifically directs otherwise.

3.12 Hearings on Motions. In any matter in which facts are to

be found by the Court, counsel shall file annotated proposed findings

of fact and conclusions of law within one (1) hour after the close of

the hearing with respect to the same, unless the Court, for good cause

shown, extends the filing time. Proposed findings of fact shall be

divided into paragraphs with only one fact allocated to each

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 5 of 20
paragraph. Each paragraph shall be identified at the end thereof as

"Disputed," "Undisputed," or "Undisputed but Objected to" as the

case may be. Abbreviations (D), (U), or (U.O.) are sufficient. The

designation U.O. should be utilized in a case in which counsel does

not dispute the factual content of a proposed finding but objects to the

proposed finding on another ground, such as relevance. Each counsel

shall initial or sign the findings proposed by opposing counsel at the

end thereof to verify that the designations "Disputed," "Undisputed,"

and "Undisputed but Objected to" are correct. All counsel shall be at

liberty to supplement such findings and conclusions by typewritten or

legibly handwritten documents if the request to file such supplements

be made orally to the Court prior to the conclusion of the hearing so

that a time within which to file such supplemental findings can be set.

3.12.1 Schedule of Exhibits--Pre-trial and Post-Trial 

Hearings. Counsel prior to the commencement of any pre-trial

or post-trial hearing shall mark all exhibits which they intend to

introduce. A set of pre-marked documentary exhibits with an

exhibit list in duplicate shall be turned over to the Deputy Clerk

before or at the outset of a pre-trial or post-trial hearing. The

exhibit list shall be in the form attached. Exhibits shall be

numbered G1, G2, etc. and D1, D2, etc. An exhibit may be

marked during a hearing only if counsel could not have

reasonably anticipated the need to introduce the exhibit.

3.13 Letters. This Court will not issue an order on the basis 

of a letter from counsel. If a party wishes the Court to take action, an 

appropriate motion, as required by the Federal Rules of Criminal 

Procedure, shall be submitted to the Court. Counsel shall ordinarily

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 6 of 20
not supply the Court with copies of letters sent to other counsel.

4. Ex Parte Motions. Because of the lead time requested by the

Marshal's Service by its directive issued December 15, 1980, all requests to the

Court for issuance of subpoenas or writs of habeas corpus ad testificandum with

respect to witnesses outside this district which are to be served by a U.S. Marshal

shall, except for good cause shown, be filed twenty (20) days prior to the date of

the drawing of the jury or if the case is to be tried without a jury, twenty (20) days

before the first day of the month in which the case is scheduled to be tried. All

requests for issuance of subpoenas or writs of habeas corpus ad testificandum with

respect to witnesses within this district which are to be served by a U.S. Marshal

shall, except for good cause shown, be filed ten (10) days prior to the date of the

drawing of the jury or, if the case is to be tried without a jury, ten (10) days before

the first day of the month in which the case is scheduled to be tried. All requests

for writs or subpoenas shall state with specificity the proposed testimony of each

witness and its relevance to the case. The witnesses shall be listed in the order of

preference to the movant.

5. Rule 12(b) Motions. Motions under Fed.R.Crim.P. 12(b) shall,

except for good cause shown, be filed within fifteen (15) days of arraignment or

ten (10) days prior to the date set for drawing of the jury whichever shall first

occur.

6. Discovery. The following sub-paragraphs relating to discovery

shall become effective only if the Defendant makes an oral request therefor on the

record at the arraignment or within five (5) working days thereafter, or within five

(5) working days after the date of this order, whichever shall last occur, files with

the Clerk a written request therefor executed by the Defendant and forwards a copy

thereof to Government counsel. If discovery disputes arise that cannot be resolved

by the parties, both parties shall jointly contact the Deputy Clerk prior to filing

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 7 of 20
discovery motions with the Court, in order to arrange a telephone conference with

the Court. A motion filed prior to utilizing this informal method of resolving

discovery disputes may be summarily dismissed by the Court. 

6.1 Conference. Within ten (10) days after the date of a

request under ¶ 6 by a Defendant, the United States Attorney or one of

his assistants, and defense counsel shall meet in the United States

Attorney's Office and the Government shall at that time:

6.11 Permit defense counsel to inspect and copy,

photocopy, or photograph any relevant written or recorded

statements or confessions made by the Defendant or copies

thereof within the possession, custody, or control of the

Government, the existence of which is known or may become

known to counsel for the Government.

6.12 Permit defense counsel to inspect and copy,

photocopy, or photograph any relevant results or reports of

physical or mental examinations, and scientific tests or

experiments made in connection with the case, or copies

thereof, which are within the possession, custody or control of

the government, or the existence of which is known or may

become known to counsel for the Government;

6.13 Permit defense counsel to inspect and copy,

photocopy, or photograph any recorded testimony of the

Defendant before a grand jury;

6.14 Permit defense counsel to inspect and copy,

photocopy or photograph books, papers, documents, tangible

objects, buildings or places which are the property of the

Defendant and which are within the possession, custody or

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 8 of 20
control of the Government;

6.15 Permit defense counsel to inspect and copy,

photocopy, or photograph the Defendant's prior criminal record

in the possession of the counsel for the Government;

6.16 Permit defense counsel to inspect, copy,

photocopy, or photograph any evidence which the U.S.

Attorney reasonably concludes is within the purview of Brady

v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963).

6.17 If there are multiple defendants named in the

indictment and if the Government intends to introduce into

evidence in its case in chief a confession made to law

enforcement authorities by one defendant which names or

makes mention of a co-defendant, then the Government shall

make a copy of that statement or confession available to

counsel for the non-declarant Defendant along with a proposal

for its redaction to conform with the requirements of Bruton v.

United States, 391 U.S. 123, 136 (1968). If the Government

makes no such disclosure and turnover, the confession may not

be received at a joint trial of the declarant and non-declarant

defendants. If, within ten (10) days after receipt of the

confession and its redacted version, counsel for the

non-declarant Defendant makes no objection to the redacted

statement, he will be deemed to have acceded to the admission

of the redacted statement into evidence.

6.2 Disclosure Declined.

6.21 If, in the judgment of Government counsel, it

would be detrimental to the interests of justice to make any of

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 9 of 20
the disclosures set forth in ¶ 6.1, disclosure may be declined

provided defense counsel is advised in writing of the

declination on or before the date of the conference between

counsel.

6.22 If the Defendant seeks to challenge the declination,

or if the Government fails to respond to a request, the

Defendant may move the Court for relief in the following

manner:

6.22.1 First, both parties shall jointly contact the 

Deputy Clerk before filing a motion for discovery or 

inspection in the matter. 

6.22.2 If consultation with the Deputy Clerk in the 

challenge to the declination does not provide the 

Defendant with relief, then no later than fifteen (15) days 

after the conference between counsel, the Defendant shall

file a motion for discovery or inspection.

6.22.3 The motion shall set forth: (1) a statement 

 showing the date and time that the prescribed conference 

 between counsel was held; (2) the name of the Assistant 

 United States Attorney with whom the conference was 

 held; (3) all matters which were agreed upon; and (4) the 

 matters which are in dispute and which require the 

 determination by the Court.

6.23 Reciprocal Discovery. The Defendant shall provide

Government counsel with reciprocal discovery pursuant to

F.R.Crim.P. 16(b)(1)(A) and (B).

Government shall pre-mark all exhibits which it intends to

introduce as part of its direct case and shall permit defense

counsel to inspect and copy these exhibits not later than seven

the outset of trial for the use of the Court. The exhibit list shall

be in the form attached. Exhibits shall be numbered G1, G2,

materials so that no trial delay is encountered when they are

turned over to Defendant's counsel. Only exhibits so listed may

be offered in evidence at the trial except for good cause shown.

7.12 Schedules of Exhibits--Defendant. The

Defendant's exhibits shall also be pre-marked but if the

discovery provisions of ¶ 6 have not been invoked, need not be

disclosed until actually used at trial. Three (3) sets of

pre-marked documentary exhibits with an exhibit list in

duplicate shall be turned over to the Deputy Clerk before the

first defense witness is called to testify. The exhibit list shall be

in the form attached and exhibits shall be numbered Dl, D2,

etc., unless there are multiple Defendants, in which case

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 11 of 20
appropriate initials shall be used to distinguish exhibits of the

various Defendants. Only exhibits so listed may be offered in

evidence at the trial except for good cause shown. The defense

shall submit its exhibit list to the Court prior to the calling of

the first defense witness.

7.2 Authenticity of Exhibits. The authenticity of all exhibits

examined by defense counsel pursuant to the provisions of ¶ 7.11 of

this Order will be deemed to have been accepted by the Defendant

exhibit or exhibits will be contested by the Defendant at the

trial,

7.22 A statement delineating why the authenticity of

each particular exhibit is being challenged, and

7.23 A certificate that the challenge to authenticity is

being made in good faith.

7.3 Chain of Possession. When defense counsel has

examined an exhibit pursuant to this Order, the chain of possession of

the exhibit will be deemed to have been accepted by the Defendant

unless defense counsel files with the court within the time set forth in

the previous sub-paragraph relating to challenge of authenticity of

exhibits:

will be contested by the Defendant at trial,

possession is being made in good faith.

7.4 Scientific Analysis. When the Government has disclosed

to defense counsel the scientific analysis of an exhibit proposed to be

introduced at the trial by the Government which has been determined

by an expert in the field of science involved, the scientific analysis of

the exhibit will be deemed admissible in evidence unless defense

counsel files with the court within the time set forth in ¶ 7.2 relating to

challenge of authenticity of exhibits:

7.41 A notice that the scientific analysis of the exhibit

will be contested by the Defendant at trial.

7.42 A statement delineating the scientific analysis of

each particular exhibit is being challenged, and

analysis of the exhibit is in good faith.

8. Pre-trial Identification Procedures. For purposes of the orderly

disposition of the case, the Government shall notify the Defendant and the Court of

any pre-trial identification procedures with respect to witnesses whom the

Government intends to call at trial. This procedure will not be followed in those

cases where the Government reasonably believes and the Court finds on ex parte

motion of the Government that exceptional circumstances exist for suspension of

the provisions of this paragraph.

9. Meetings with Client, Appointed Counsel.

9.1 Whenever an appointment of counsel is made more than

three working days in advance of the time set for arraignment, counsel

shall meet with the Defendant no less than twenty-four (24) hours

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 13 of 20
case.

9.2 Whenever counsel for a Defendant wishes to meet with a

federal inmate at the United States Penitentiary at Lewisburg,

Pennsylvania, the United States Prison Camp at Allenwood,

Pennsylvania, the Allenwood Federal Correctional Complex

(consisting of a United States Penitentiary, a Federal Correctional

Institution and a Low Security Correctional Institution) at White Deer,

Pennsylvania, or the Muncy Correctional Institution, the attorney shall

place a telephone call to a responsible individual at the institution not

less than three (3) hours prior to the time when a meeting with the

inmate is desired. The time chosen by the attorney shall not be so

early or so late in the day as to constitute an unreasonable burden on

the authorities.

9.21 The authorities at the facilities named in ¶ 9.2 shall

present the inmate to the attorney at a suitable and convenient

location for private consultation at the specified time.

9.22 Whenever an attorney wishes to meet with an

inmate at one of the institutions named in ¶ 9.2 but fails to give

the required notice, the customary procedure shall be followed

whereby the attorney requests to see the inmate and prison

authorities attempt as speedily as possible, to make the inmate

available to the attorney.

9.23 An attorney shall apply for compensation for the

time consumed in awaiting the arrival of an inmate only if he

has given the notice required by ¶ 9.2 or there is good cause

why such notice could not be given.

9.24 Relief from the provisions of ¶ 9.2 may be sought

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 14 of 20
by the attorney or counsel for the prison authorities on the basis

of good cause by placing a conference call to the undersigned

judge.

10. Psychiatric Examination. An application for a psychiatric

examination of a defendant shall cite the statutory authority under which the

examination is sought, shall state the grounds on which the necessity of such

examination is based, and shall contain a list of three alternative dates and times on

which a psychiatrist or psychiatrists have agreed to examine the Defendant if the

motion is granted and whose offices are within 50 miles of the site designated for

trial. An exception to this 50-mile provision will be granted for good cause shown.

11. Points for Charge. Counsel for the Government and the defense

shall file their points for charge no later than three (3) working days before trial. 

Points for charge shall be submitted one to a page, identified by the name of the

party and a number, and shall state the best authority for the point. Only the first

page need contain the caption. If the best authority cited is not reported in the U.S.

Reports, official Pennsylvania appellate reports, Federal Reporter, Federal

Supplement, or Federal Rules Decisions, a photocopy of the pertinent opinion shall

be submitted with the point. Supplemental points for charge may be submitted for

matters arising during the trial which could not reasonably have been anticipated

by the party submitting such additional points.

12. Communications with Court. All letters and other documents

shall be electronically filed. No counsel shall meet with the Court or with a law

clerk on a matter relating to this case unless opposing counsel be present. Counsel

shall not communicate with the Court or with a law clerk by telephone on a matter

relating to this case except by conference call with other counsel on the line, unless

it be to report a proposed change of plea. See ¶ 3.13.

13. Pro Se Defendants. Unless otherwise specifically provided in

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 15 of 20
this order, any defendant who is not represented by counsel shall have all the duties

hereunder which would normally be placed upon his counsel by this Order.

14. Conflict with Rules of Court or Prior Order. Should any

provision of this order conflict with any Rule of the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Pennsylvania or any standing order of this Court or

District, such conflicting provision of this order shall control and the Rule of Court

or standing order shall be suspended in the above-captioned action to the extent

that it conflicts with this order. If any provision of this order conflicts with a prior

order in this case, such prior order shall be revoked to the extent that it conflicts

with this order.

15. Changes of Pleas and Plea Bargains. Notice of a Defendant's

intention to plead guilty shall be given to the Clerk at least three (3) working days

before the scheduled jury drawing date so that a hearing thereon may be placed

onto the Court's calendar before the jury drawing date. In cases involving

narcotics, prior to the guilty plea hearing both counsel and the Defendant shall

execute a stipulation of facts and reasons in support of the guilty plea in

conformity with § 6B1.4 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which fully

discloses the actual relevant facts of the case, including known drug quantities, and

sets forth with meaningful specificity the reasons why the sentencing range

resulting from the proposed plea is appropriate. All plea bargains shall be reduced

to writing prior to the guilty plea hearing and shall be executed by all parties prior

to the entry of the guilty plea. A copy of the plea agreement and the foregoing

stipulation shall be submitted to the Court at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to

the hearing scheduled for the proposed change of plea. In cases which do not

involve narcotics, counsel and the Defendant may execute and file such a

stipulation but are not obliged to do so. If they elect to execute and file the same, a

copy shall be submitted to the Court at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 16 of 20
hearing scheduled for the proposed change of plea. Copies submitted to the Court

prior to the hearing need not be executed. If either or both counsel deem it

advisable, the statement of facts and reasons may be filed under seal. Where no

such stipulation is executed by the Defendant, the Defendant shall execute a

statement substantially in the form attached at least by the time of the guilty plea

hearing. 

16. Presentence Procedure and Conference. In the event of a guilty

plea or a conviction, the following presentence procedures shall take effect:

16.1 The Probation Officer shall notify defense counsel of the

time and place where the probation officer proposes to interview the

defendant for purposes of preparing the presentence report. Defense

counsel shall be entitled to be present at such interview:

16.11 To assist in answering inquiries of the Probation

Officer;

16.12 To assist in resolving factual issues in question;

16.13 To protect the Defendant against incrimination,

regarding other pending indictments and investigations or both;

and

16.14 To protect the Defendant's rights with respect to

an appeal of conviction.

16.2 The Probation Officer shall furnish to the Court,

government counsel, and defense counsel, as far in advance of the

presentence conference as practicable, a copy of the presentence

report.

16.3 Prior to the presentence conference, defense counsel shall

familiarize himself with the contents of the presentence report,

including the evaluative summary, and any special medical or

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 17 of 20
psychiatric reports pertaining to the Defendant, and shall discuss the

report with the Defendant, excluding from such discussion any

medical or psychiatric data, knowledge of which may be detrimental

to the Defendant's well-being.

16.4 Defense counsel shall report orally to the Court at the

presentencing conference on the following issues:

16.41 The accuracy of the presentence report;

16.42 Any additional facts relevant to sentencing;

16.43 Recommended sentencing alternatives.

16.5 Defense counsel may submit sentencing memoranda

covering the matters in the preceding paragraph to the Court at the

presentence conference.

16.6 The United States Attorney shall advise the Court on the

record or in writing of any cooperation rendered by the Defendant to

the Government. A copy of any written statement of the United States

Attorney with respect to cooperation rendered by the Defendant shall

be sent or delivered to defense counsel by the United States Attorney

unless the United States Attorney shows good cause for

nondisclosure.

16.7 The Probation Officer shall in preparation of the

presentence report:

16.71 Consider any sentence or correctional proposals

which Defendant or his counsel may have suggested, and

16.72 Consider any specific factual and opinion

evidence relating to Defendant's physical or mental condition

which Defendant or his counsel may have suggested.

16.8 At the presentence conference, counsel for both sides shall

Case 4:05-cr-00348-JEJ Document 20 Filed 08/30/05 Page 18 of 20
be prepared to discuss whether there are any disputed facts which may

form the basis of a sentence and which will require a hearing thereon.

16.9 At the presentence conference, counsel for both sides shall

be prepared to discuss whether there are objections to the application

of the Sentencing Guidelines by the probation officer to this case. 

16.10 The presentence conference will be scheduled at the

conclusion of the guilty plea or upon the return of a guilty verdict, as

the case may be.

16.11 Any presentence hearing and sentencing will be

scheduled at the presentence conference.

17. Sanctions. Failure of the Government or the defense to comply

with the provisions of this or any other order entered in this case may result in

dismissal of the indictment or such other sanctions as the Court may deem just.

18. Rights of Defendants. If any provision of this order or any

other order of this Court is deemed by Defendant or his counsel to infringe on any

right granted to Defendant by the Constitution, statute, rule or case law, defense

counsel shall move promptly for the modification of such provision.

19. Caption. The caption of the case in all documents

hereafter filed shall show the name of the judge in accordance with Local

Rule 5.3.

20. Fax Copies of Documents. If counsel is waived from

the electronic filing requirement documents shall be filed in the Clerk’s

Office in Williamsport. In addition, counsel shall on the day of filing fax copies of

such documents, excluding exhibits, to the Clerk’s Office in Williamsport for

immediate delivery to the judge. The fax number of the Clerk’s Office in
