`
`Case No. 18-CR-4683-GPC
`Honorable Gonzalo P. Curiel
`
`DEFENDANTS’ NOTICE OF MOTION
`AND MOTION TO SUPPRESS AND
`DISMISS UNDER THE FOURTH
`AMENDMENT AND REQUEST FOR
`EVIDENTIARY HEARING
`
`Hearing Date: April 1, 2022
`Hearing Time: 2:30 P.M.
`Department: Courtroom 2D
`
`
`
`
`
`
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 1, 2022 at 2:30 P.M., or as soon thereafter
`
`as the matter may be heard in the courtroom of the Honorable Gonzalo P. Curiel, United
`
`States District Court Judge, located at 221 West Broadway, San Diego, California 92101,
`
`Courtroom 2D, Defendants Jacob Bychak, Mark Manoogian, Mohammed Abdul Qayyum,
`
`and Petr Pacas (collectively “Defendants”) move the Court to suppress the illegally
`
`obtained documents and information by a state actor as well as their fruits, and
`
`concomitantly dismiss this action under the Fourth Amendment. Alternatively,
`
`Defendants move for an evidentiary hearing to confirm the Fourth Amendment violation
`
`and a Kastigar hearing to determine the tainted leads and evidence that flowed from it.
`
`
`
`This Motion is based on this Notice, the Memorandum of Points and Authorities In
`
`Support Thereof, the Declarations of Jacob Bychak, Mark Manoogian, Mohhamed Abdul
`
`Qayyum, and Petr Pacas, as well as the Under Seal Declaration of Jessica C. Munk and
`
`attached Under Seal Exhibits 1-48 filed concurrently herewith, the files and records in this
`
`case, and any evidence and argument that may be presented at the hearing on this matter.
