GOVERNMENT’S OBJECTIONS TO THE DEFENDANT’S EXHIBITS1 
 
Exhibits A to O 
• Government objection: These exhibits appear to involve conversations between the 
Defendant and one or more other individuals regarding moving jobs and payments.  The 
Government objects on the basis that these exhibits are hearsay and the Defendant has 
identified no exception under the Federal Rules of Evidence that would allow their 
admission.  The Government also objects on grounds of lack of authentication and proper 
foundation. 
Exhibit P 
• Government objection: This exhibit appears to involve a conversation between the 
Defendant and another individual regarding an EIDL application.  The Government objects 
on the basis that this exhibit is hearsay and the Defendant has identified no exception under 
the Federal Rules of Evidence that would allow its admission.  The Government also 
objects on grounds of lack of authentication and proper foundation. 
Exhibits Q to R 
• Government objection: These exhibits are blank EIDL and PPP loan applications, 
respectively.  The Government objects on grounds of lack of authentication and proper 
foundation.  The Government also objects on the basis that these exhibits are not relevant. 
Exhibit T 
• Government objection: The Defendant has represented he will provide this exhibit to the 
Government once it is received.  The Government reserves the right to object once it has 
had a chance to review this exhibit. 
Exhibit V 
• Government objection: These exhibits appear to be photographs of moving jobs.  The 
Government objects on grounds of lack of authentication and proper foundation.  The 
Government also objects on the basis that these exhibits may not be relevant depending on 
when the photographs were taken. 
 
1 The Defendant has not had an opportunity to prepare responses to these objections.  The 
Defendant respectfully requests leave to respond to these objections on or before December 4, 
2025.  The Government does not oppose.
