On May 23, 2016, the Court conducted oral argument on the 

following Motions: 

1. Defendants' Motion (#465) to Dismiss Count 3 of 

1 - ORDER REGARDING ROUND ONE MOTIONS 

Case 3:16-cr-00051-BR Document 597 Filed 05/23/16 Page 1 of 4
Superseding Indictment filed by Defendants Ammon Bundy, 

Jon Ritzheimer, Ryan Payne, Ryan Bundy, Brian Cavalier, 

Jason Patrick, Sean Anderson, and David Lee Fry; 

2. All Defendants' Motion (#469) for Bill of Particulars; 

3. All Defendants' Motion (#471) to Dismiss Count 1 for 

Vagueness; 

4. Defendant Peter Santilli's Motion (#477) to Dismiss 

Count 1 for Vagueness; and 

5. All Defendants' Motion (#474) to Dismiss Count 1 as 

Overbroad. 

The Court granted Defendants' request to file supplemental 

memoranda on the Motion (#465) to Dismiss Count 3 regarding 

whether conspiracy crimes can be crimes of violence under 18 

U.S.C. § 924 (c) (3) (A). Defendants' supplemental memorandum is 

due no later than May 26, 2016. The government's supplemental 

memorandum is due no later than June 1, 2016. The parties' 

respective supplemental memoranda may not exceed 8 pages in 

length. The Court will take this Motion under advisement on June 

1, 2016. 

At the conclusion of oral argument, the Court took under 

advisement All Defendants' Motion (#469) for Bill of Particulars, 

All Defendants' Motion (#471) to Dismiss Count 1 for Vagueness, 

Defendant Peter Santilli's Motion (#477) to Dismiss Count 1 for 

Vagueness, and All Defendants' Motion (#474) to Dismiss Count 1

as Overbroad. 

In addition, at oral argument on May 23, 2016, the parties 

advised the Court that the Court should not hear oral argument or 

decide the Motion (#480) to Dismiss filed by Defendants Ammon 

Bundy, Joseph O'Shaughnessy, Ryan Bundy, Brian Cavalier, Peter 

Santilli, and Blaine Cooper until after the parties appear for 

oral argument on June 16, 2016, in Ninth Circuit Case No. 16-

30080. The Court, therefore, defers consideration of Defendants' 

Motion (#480) to Dismiss until a future date and directs the 

parties to this Motion to file a single, joint status report no 

later than June 20, 2016, updating this Court as to the parties' 

recommendations for oral argument on this Motion. 

As noted in the Court's Order (#577) Setting Oral Argument 

Schedule, the Court concluded oral argument was not necessary to 

resolve the following Motions and instead permitted the relevant 

parties to file optional reply memoranda in lieu of oral argument 

no later than May 27, 2016: 

1. Defendant Peter Santilli's Motion (#479) to Dismiss 

Count 1 as Constitutionally Protected Conduct. 

2. Defendants' Motion (#482) to Dismiss Count 2 for 

Vagueness and Overbreadth. 

3. Defendant Kenneth Medenbach's Motion (#505) to Dismiss. 

4. Defendants' Motion (#527) to Dismiss for Lack of 

Subject Matter Jurisdiction.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
