Heading: Defendant Okubo’s Verified Motions.

Text: As set forth in Carey’s complaint, defendant Okubo signed the “Verification” for the two verified motions to revoke bond that she submitted to -6- the Boulder District Court. Specifically, Okubo “[swore] and affirm[ed] that the [facts set forth in the motions were] true and accurate to the best of [her] information and belief.” Aplt. App., Vol. 1 at 101; Vol. 2 at 235. The facts sworn to included the following: On June 30, 2004, eight days after the defendant first appeared in custody at the Boulder County Jail, she tested positive for the presence of cocaine in a urine sample. Cocaine metabolites are not normally present in urine samples seventy-two hours (three days) after last usage. In this case the metabolites were present eight days later. See attached documentation from Community Justice Services. Id. The “FINAL REPORT” from Forensic Laboratories was among the documents that were attached to the verified motions, and the report stated that “Cocaine SQ” was detected by “POSITIVE CONFIRMATORY SCREEN BY EIA.” Id., Vol. 1 at 105; see also id., Vol. 2 at 239. As set forth in defendants’ brief, the acronym “EIA” refers to a specific type of drug test known as the “enzyme immunoassay test.” Aplee. Br. at 1. In her complaint, Carey refers to this test as “amino enzyme screening,” Aplt. App., Vol. 1 at 5, ¶ 6, and we will refer to it herein as the “EIA test” to avoid confusion.
