DEFENDANT BERNARD OKOJIE’S     
RULE 807 RESIDUAL EXCEPTION DISCLOSURE
COMES NOW, BERNARD OKOJIE, Defendant, by and through his undersigned
counsel of record, and advises the Court that he intends to object to the proffer of hearsay
testimony offered at his trial and intends to move to suppress such testimony at a hearing
under Rule 104(a) of the Federal Rules of Evidence.  Where the government seeks to
offer such hearsay testimony under the provisions of Rule 807, this Rule expressly
requires notice of same prior to trial.
“(b) Notice.  The statement is admissible only if the proponent gives 
an adverse party reasonable notice of the intent to offer the statement - 
including its substance and the declarant’s name - so that the party has 
a fair opportunity to meet it.  The notice must be provided in writing 
before the trial or hearing - or in any form during the trial or hearing 
if the court, for good cause, excuses a lack of earlier notice.”
Therefore, pursuant to the advance notice requirement of such rule, the
government is required to disclose the substance of any statements it intends to offer and
Mr. Okojie hereby makes demand for same at a time not less than thirty days prior to trial
or hearing.
