JUDGMENT1 
GÓMEZ, J. 
 
Before the Court is the motion of Kevin Henley (“Henley”) 
seeking a judgment of acquittal. 
A judgment of acquittal is appropriate if after reviewing 
the record in a light most favorable to the prosecution, the 
Court determines that no rational jury could find proof of guilt 
beyond a reasonable doubt and the verdict is supported by 
substantial evidence. United States v. Bobb, 471 F.3d 491, 494 
                                                          
1 The Court will issue a memorandum opinion outlining its reasons at a later 
date.

(3d Cir.2006). The government may sustain this burden entirely 
through circumstantial evidence. Id.; see also United States v. 
Wexler, 838 F.2d 88, 90 (3d Cir.1988). “It is not [the Court’s] 
role to weigh the evidence or to determine the credibility of 
the witnesses.” United States v. Cothran, 286 F.3d 173, 175 (3d 
Cir.2002) 
The premises considered, it is hereby 
ORDERED that the motion for judgment of acquittal is hereby 
GRANTED; it is further 
ORDERED that Kevin Henley is hereby ACQUITTED of the crime 
alleged at Count One of the Indictment in this matter; it is 
further  
ORDERED that the indictment is DISMISSED; it is further 
ORDERED that the trial setting in this matter is hereby 
VACATED; and it is further 
ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this case.
