statement allegedly stating that he was part of the scout vehicle for a marijuana-smuggling operation. Defendant Alonso contends that he had told the agents that he was part of a scout vehicle only as a result of coercion and pressure and that in fact, he knew nothing about the marijuana. The discovery provided to date only says in very summary fashion that it was determined that the Lexus was the scout vehicle and was therefore stopped and the occupants arrested; however, there are no facts stated indicating what facts gave the officers reasonable cause to believe that the Lexus was a scout vehicle. I. MOTION FOR DISCOVERY Mr. Alonso-Perez moves for production by the government of: 1. Copies of any written or recorded statements he made; the substance of any statements made by him which the government intends to offer in evidence at trial; defendant's prior record, if it has not already been provided in its entirety; any books, papers, documents, photographs, tangible objects, or copies or portions thereof which the government intends to use as evidence-

15 in-chief at trial; all notes of the arresting agents. Mr. Alonso-Perez also specifically requests that 16 all arrest reports which relate to the circumstances surrounding his arrest or any questioning, if such 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 reports have not already been produced in their entirety, be turned over to him. This request includes, but is not limited to, any rough notes, records, reports, transcripts or other documents in which statements of Mr. Alonso-Perez are contained. This also includes the substance of any oral statements which the government intends to introduce at trial and any written summaries of defendant's statements, summaries of the defendant's oral statements contained in the handwritten notes of the government agent. This is all discoverable under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure Section 16(A)(1)(a) and Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963). Mr. Alonso-Perez also requests any response to any Miranda warnings which may have been given to him on the day of his arrest. See United States v. McElroy, 697 F. 2nd 459 (2nd Cir. 1982). -2Case No. 08-CR-2352-LAB

Mr. Alonso-Perez must have access to this information in order to make appropriate motions to exclude the use of such evidence at trial. See United States v. Cook, 609 F. 2nd 1174 (9th Cir. 1985). Mr. Alonso-Perez requests a pretrial conference on the morning of trial in order to resolve

16 any issues raised by the government's intention of introducing evidence pursuant to Federal Rule 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 of Evidence Sections 404 and 609. 4. All evidence seized as a result of any search, either warrantless or with warrant, in this case. This is available under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(A)(1)(c). 5. All arrest reports, investigator's notes, memos from arresting officers, sworn statements, and prosecution reports pertaining to Mr. Alonso-Perez, including any photo spread shown to witnesses.

16. All material to which defendant is entitled pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 3500, including any tape recordings made by the government of any material witnesses. Defendant is also entitled to these tape recordings if they prove exculpatory pursuant to Brady v. Maryland, supra. 17. Pursuant to Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972), Mr. Alonso-Perez requests all statements and/or promises, express or implied, made to any government witnesses, in exchange for their testimony in this case. With respect to any informant or witness that the government intends to rely upon at trial, Mr. Alonso-Perez requests the disclosure of the following impeaching information. See United States v. Brumell Alvarez, 991 F. 2nd 1452 (9th Cir. 1992). 1. Any and all records and information reviewing prior felony convictions, convictions for a crime involving false statements or dishonesty, any juvenile adjudications attributed to the informant, including, but not limited to, relevant rap sheets. See United States v. Alvarez-Lopez, 559 F. 2nd 1155 (9th Cir. 1977). 2. Any and all records and information revealing prior misconduct or bad acts attributed

16 to any material witness, including, but not limited to, any acts of misconduct conducted by him or 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 her. See Federal Rule of Evidence 608(B)(3). 3. Any and all consideration or promises of consideration given to the informant/material witness or expected or hoped for by him. By consideration, defendant refers to absolutely anything, whether bargained for or not, which arguably could be of value or use to him or to persons of concern to him. This request includes, but is not limited to, formal or informal or indirect and direct compensation, favorable treatment or recommendations or other assistance with respect to any pending or potential criminal, parole, probation, pardon, clemency, civil, tax court, IRS, court of claims, administrative or other dispute in the United States. Consideration also encompasses any favorable treatment or recommendations with respect to criminal, civil or tax immunity grants, relief from forfeiture, payments of money, permission to keep fruits of criminal activity, including cash, vehicles, aircraft, rewards or fees, witness fees and -5Case No. 08-CR-2352-LAB

special witness fees, provisions of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, legal services or other benefits, placement in a witness protection program and anything else that arguably could reveal an interest, motive or bias in them in favor of the government or against the defense or which could act as inducement to testify or to color testimony. See Bagley v. Lumpkin, 719 F. 2nd at 1462. 4. Any and all threats, express or implied, direct or indirect or other coercion made or directed against any informant/material witness, criminal prosecutions, investigations, or potential prosecutions pending, or which could be brought against them, any probationary, parole, deferred prosecution or custodial status of the witness and any civil, tax court, court of claims, administrative, or other pending or potential legal disputes or transactions with the government over which the government has a real, apparent, or perceived influence. See Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308 (1974). 5. The existence and identification of each occasion on which any informant has testified before the court, grand jury, or other tribunal or body in connection with this or other similar cases. See United States v. Alvarez-Lopez, 521 F. 2nd 556 (8th Cir. 1975). 6. Any and all records and information which arguably could be helpful or useful to the

16 defense in impeaching or otherwise detracting from the probative force of the government's 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 evidence or which arguably could lead to such records or such information. This request includes any evidence tending to show the narcotic habits of any informant at the time of relevant events, and the informant's personal dislike of the defendant. See Guam v. De la Rosa, 438 F. 2nd 396. 7. The names and criminal numbers of any and all other criminal cases, state or federal, in which any informant has been involved, either as an informant or as defendant. Mr. Alonso-Perez is making these multiple requests because, in order to properly prepare a defense in this matter, it is important that the defense be aware of all information related to the informant's credibility and background. See Giglio v. United States, supra. 8. Request that all evidence be preserved. It is specifically requested that all evidence be preserved. It is specifically requested that in the event that the government does desire the destruction of evidence, that defense be informed in writing, that the defense have an opportunity -6-

to inspect the evidence, that the defense have the opportunity to object to the destruction of the evidence. It is the contention of the defense that in the event that the government fails to notify the defense of the destruction of the evidence, that said destruction will be in bad faith and if the government fails to give the defense an opportunity to seek a court order of the preservation of the evidence, that said destruction would be in bad faith.

statement allegedly stating that he was part of the scout vehicle for a marijuana-smuggling operation. Defendant Alonso contends that he had told the agents that he was part of a scout vehicle only as a result of coercion and pressure and that in fact, he knew nothing about the marijuana. The discovery provided to date only says in very summary fashion that it was determined that the Lexus was the scout vehicle and was therefore stopped and the occupants arrested; however, there are no facts stated indicating what facts gave the officers reasonable cause to believe that the Lexus was a scout vehicle. I. MOTION TO SUPPRESS FOR ILLEGAL SEIZURE OF VEHICLE. Stops of a vehicle can be considered seizures in accorded Fourth Amendment protection even though the purpose of the stop is limited and the resulting detention quite brief. See Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648, 653 (1979) U.S. v. Sharpe, 470 U.S. 655, 682 (1985). As with pedestrian stops, a vehicle stop must be supported by a reasonable suspicion and analyzed under the framework established by Terry v. Ohio. See U.S. v. Chavez, 993 F. 2d 431,

15 16

434 (5th Cir. 1993). See also Prouse, supra, 440 U.S. at 663. In the instant case, it appears that there was not just a temporary detention of the vehicle;

17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 rather there was a stop and an immediate seizure of all occupants of the vehicle who were taken into custody. The government has the burden of showing that the government had not only reasonable suspicion to stop the vehicle, but probable cause to believe that the occupants of the vehicle were engaged in specific criminal activity; that is, acting as a scout vehicle for the marijuana-laden vehicle. In the event that there is insufficient evidence of either reasonable suspicion or in fact probable cause to make such arrest, then any subsequent statements or evidence deduced as a result of this seizure must be suppressed. /// -2Case No. 08-CR-2352-LAB

II. THE STATEMENTS OF JOVANN ALSONO-PEREZ MUST BE SUPPRESSED, AS THEY WERE INVOLUNTARY AND AS A RESULT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT COERCION. Defense counsel is aware of its obligation to provide a Declaration of the defendant and said Declaration will be subsequently filed. Unfortunately, the defendant has been held this entire time at Imperial County Jail and because of summer schedule and vacation, defendant counsel has only had one opportunity to talk with Mr. Alonso. The conditions at ICJ for interviewing defendants is abominable. There is no privacy and one must talk to an individual over a telephone and because of the nature of the glass, you cannot really even see the individual or look into their eyes or do any kind of reasonable interview of the defendant. Once defendant Alonso is at either GEO or the MCC or some other place where there can be a contact visit, then a detailed interview with the assistance of an interpreter can be conducted and a Declaration prepared for the defendant.

15 In any event, in order to comply with the court's rules with regard to timeliness in motions, 16 defense counsel at this time moves to suppress the statement of Defendant Alonso as being 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 involuntary pursuant to and as a result of coercion and alleges the inculpatory statement of Alonso was not a voluntary statement and not the product of an essentially free and unconstrained choice by its maker. See Coloazo v. Estelle, 940 F. 2d at 416, quoting Culombe v. Connecticut, 367 U.S. 568, 602 (1961). The government bears the burden of proving that the statement is voluntary by a preponderance of the evidence. See Connelly, 479 U.S. at 168. The Supreme Court has held that coercive police activity is a necessary predicate to the finding that a confession is not voluntary within the meaning of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. See Colorado v. Connelly, 479 U.S. 157, 167 (1986). The determination of voluntariness of a confession or admission requires consideration of the "totality of circumstances" including personal history, level of educational attainment and -3Case No. 08-CR-2352-LAB

physical condition of the accused, as well as the circumstances of the police officers eliciting the statement. See Crane, 476 at 691. The facts in the instant case will show that the defendant was a relatively young person, inexperienced, a citizen of Mexico, and was held basically incommunicado for several hours before being questioned, was extremely frightened to the point where he was willing to admit to practically anything, even if it was untrue. The government will not be able to show by a preponderance of the evidence that the alleged inculpatory statement or confession of Defendant Alonso was voluntary. Respectfully submitted, s/Lynn H.
