`
`TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 19, 2019 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 the Court as follows:
`1.
`To dismiss Counts 6 through 10 of the Indictment charging violation of
`the CAN-SPAM Act (18 U.S.C. §1037(a)(5)) on the ground that subsection (a)(5) of
`the Act is void for vagueness—facially and as applied to Defendants’ conduct.
`In the alternative, to dismiss Counts 6 through 10 of the Indictment
`2.
`charging violation of the CAN-SPAM Act (18 U.S.C. §1037(a)(5)) for failure to state
`an offense.
`To dismiss the conspiracy charge (Count 1) because it alleges a
`3.
`conspiracy to violate subsection (a)(5) of the CAN-SPAM Act, such that the
`conspiracy charge falls with the counts under the Act.
`This Motion is made pursuant to Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 12(b).
`This Motion is based on this Notice of Motion, the Memorandum of Points and
`Authorities, the Indictment, and such other and further argument and evidence as may
`be presented to the Court at the hearing on this matter.
