4/11/2023151ORDER denying 143 LETTER MOTION addressed to Judge Cathy Seibel from Ezra Spilke dated February 27, 2023 re: motion in limine to preclude sexual assault evidence as to Jermaine Lightfoot (2):Having considered the parties submissions, I will not preclude the Government from attempting to prove up the alleged rape(s), which are uncharged but not unrelated. I cannot say that such conduct, if proven, would not affect the sentencing. It could reflect on the characteristics of the Defendant and perhaps the nature and circumstances of the offense. So we will proceed with the Fatico hearing on May 4, 2022. I will not, however, require Defendant to comply with Federal Rule of Evidence 412(c). The rules of evidence do not apply at a sentencing hearing, as the Government concedes, and I will not require compliance as a matter of case management. But under Rules 401 and 403, I am not likely to admit the kinds of evidence described in Rule 412(a) except in the circumstances set forth in Rules 412(b)(1) or (b)(2). Both sides should be prepared to put in all their evidence on May 4. Whether I proceed to sentencing that day may depend on the hearing, but the parties should be prepared to go forward.
