Paed.569219.31.0 - Us V Williams Cisco

One of 3 filings in U.S. v. Williams Cisco.

What This Document Is

A 2-page signed order entered June 30, 2021 by Judge John M. Gallagher, implementing the rulings explained in the same-day memorandum opinion (Doc. 30) on Williams's three pretrial motions (ECF 20-22) and the government's responses (ECF 23-25). Signed "/s/ John M. Gallagher" — an entered order, not a proposal.

Factual Summary

The order disposes of the three motions in numbered paragraphs. First, Williams's motion for a bill of particulars (ECF 20) is denied. Second, his motion to compel production of Brady materials (ECF 21) is granted in part and denied in part: the order recites the government's obligations under Brady v. Maryland, Giglio v. United States, subsequent cases, and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5(f)(1) to timely disclose information favorable to the defense on liability or punishment, expressly including witness-credibility material, and enumerates the possible consequences of violation — exclusion of evidence, dismissal of charges, contempt proceedings, disciplinary referral, and any other relief authorized by law. Third, the motion to compel production of grand jury instructions (ECF 22) is denied.

Key Facts

Entered June 30, 2021, signed by Judge John M. Gallagher; implements the reasoning of the memorandum opinion at Doc. 30.
Bill of particulars: DENIED. Grand jury instructions: DENIED. Brady motion: GRANTED in part, DENIED in part — a Rule 5(f)(1) obligations order, not a finding that any violation occurred.
Enumerates sanctions available for a Brady violation, from evidence exclusion through dismissal of charges.

Source Caveats

The order's text is self-contained but conclusory; the court's reasoning is in the memorandum opinion (Doc. 30), which should be cited for the "why" behind each ruling.
No canonical source page exists for this document; none has been fabricated (this document was not part of the original site registry — see the case-level SUMMARY.md registry-gap note).
