DEFENDANT=S POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF A SECOND PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS AD TESTIFICATUM

 

 

 

 

 


 

In this motion Mr. XXXXXX moves for the second time that the United States Marshal transport material witness Efran Lainez-Miranda from Tennessee or Kentucky to the Northern District of California, San Francisco for an appearance before Magistrate Judge Laporte on Thursday, November 30 at 9:30 for identification of counsel.


Mr. XXXXXX further moves for production of Mr. Lainez-Miranda before this Court on Wednesday, December 13, 2000 at 2:00 for his testimony in an evidentiary hearing.

This Court has previously signed a similar writ for the same witness; extenuating circumstances prevented the witness from being presented at the previous evidentiary hearing.

At a status appearance before this Court on October 26, 2000, the Court explained that it would base its decision regarding the issuance of this writ on defendant XXXXXX=s previous memorandum of points and authorities and the government=s previous response. 

A petition, proposed order, and writ to this effect are attached.

 

Dated: October 27, 2000

 

Respectfully submitted,
