`Honorable Gonzalo P. Curiel
`
`DEFENDANTS’ NOTICE OF MOTION
`AND MOTION IN LIMINE TO LIMIT
`THE GOVERNMENT’S CASE IN
`CHIEF EVIDENCE TO ELEVEN
`IDENTIFIED NETBLOCKS
`
`Hearing Date: April 7, 2022
`Hearing Time: 1:00 p.m.
`Department: Courtroom 2D
`
`
`
`
`TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:
`
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 7, 2022, at 1:00 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”) will, and hereby do, move in limine for the
`
`Court to issue an order limiting the government’s case in chief evidence to the Eleven
`
`Netblocks set forth in Grand Jury Exhibit 251, which the government identified as the sole
`
`alleged illegally hijacked netblocks at play in this case. Despite the government’s
`
`numerous representations over the course of three years that it would limit its case in chief
`
`evidence to the Eleven Netblocks, which Defendants relied upon, the government now
`
`refuses to do so. Its refusal to do so is prejudicial and would result in unnecessarily
`
`expanding the scope of the trial and likely require a continuance to allow Defendants to
`
`properly defend themselves.
`
`This Motion In Limine is based on this Notice, the Memorandum of Points and
