Summary

An Order on Motion to Exclude in United States v. Rico Tomas Garcia, No. 24-cr-00106-NYW-1, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, dated February 27, 2026 and filed as Document 283. It rules on the Government's Motion to Exclude Expert Testimony [Doc. 267] directed at a global supply chain expert the defense intends to call, and grants it in part and denies it in part. The order records that Mr. Garcia is charged with nine counts of wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343 and six counts of money laundering, and that an eight-day jury trial is set to begin March 2, 2026. The Court declines to exclude the testimony as untimely, sorts the challenged opinions into four categories, and excludes opinions on the reasonableness of Mr. Garcia's actions or his intent. The signature block names United States District Judge Nina Y. Wang.
