3. Pursuant to Rule 12.2, the United States requests from the defendant that he 

provide notice of intention (if any) to use an insanity defense or to present expert testimony 

relating to a mental disease or defect or any other mental condition. 

4. Pursuant to Rule 12.3, the United States requests from the defendant that he 

provide notice of intention (if any) to use the defense of actual or believed exercise of 

public authority on behalf of a law enforcement or federal intelligence agency. 

Failure to comply with the notice requirements as specified in the above referenced 

sections of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure will result in the government moving 

to preclude such defenses in the event that they are brought untimely or if the notice 

regarding one of the above defenses is predicated on insufficient information. 

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that this Court take notice of the 

aforementioned, and for such other and further relief that is just and proper. 

Respectfully submitted this 10th day of May, 2019.
