ORDER
THIS MATTER came before the Court upon the government’s Motion Requesting
Reconsideration of Order on Funds for DNA Discovery (Docket No. 145).  The time for
filing a response has expired.
This dispute concerns a simple discovery request, discovery that was generated at
the direction of the government.  Having reviewed the motion and upon due consideration
thereof, the Court finds that, despite the fact that Defendant’s expert may review the
discovery, the discovery itself does not fall within the scope of “expert services.”

Consequently, the Court finds that the order at issue does not require reconsideration,
modification, or reversal.
Now therefore, it is hereby ORDERED:
1.
The government’s Motion Requesting Reconsideration of Order on Funds for
DNA Discovery (Docket No. 145) is DENIED.
2.
The government shall deliver the requested DNA discovery to counsel for
Defendants on or before November 13, 2009.
