THIS MATTER comes before the Court on a Motion in Limine to Preclude Government 
from Introducing Certain Exhibits at Trial filed by Defendant Amon Thomas on May 2, 2009 
(Docket No. 111).  The Government has submitted a DNA Lab Certificate of Analysis wherein 
certain items apparently tested positive for the presence of Defendant Amon Thomas’s DNA.  
These items include include: 1) a pair of pants (Agency No. 104); 2) a blue and grey hooded 
jacket (Agency No. 132); and 3) blood stains on left door of a Toyota Camry (Agency No. 165).  
Defendant requests that the Court preclude the Government from introducing the above items as 
well as any evidence relating to the license plates of a stolen vehicle.  The Government does not 
oppose Defendant’s Motion and has informed the Court that it will not introduce these items or 
photos of these items into evidence.  After consideration and the Court being fully advised in the 
premises, it is hereby
