United States of America v. Kadi

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff, 	Case No. 2:24-cr-20214
v. 	Honorable Susan K. DeClercq
United States District Judge
RAYMOND FAIR,
Defendant.
___________________________________/
ORDER DENYING AS MOOT DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO EXCLUDE
OR LIMIT EVIDENCE OF ALLEGED “OTHER ACTS” (ECF No. 47)
Defendant Raymond Fair is charged with two counts of wire fraud in violation
of 18 U.S.C. § 1343; one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in violation of
18 U.S.C. § 1349; and one count of making a false statement to a federal agency in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2). ECF No. 14.
Fair’s jury trial is scheduled to begin on December 2, 2025. See ECF No. 43.
On October 24, 2025, Fair filed a motion to exclude “a 2014 document apparently
alleging 	that 	a 	‘public 	adjuster’ 	named 	Raymond 	Fair 	submitted 	‘falsified
paperwork’ in unrelated insurance matters.” ECF No. 47 at PageID.269. Fair alleges
this document is inadmissible under Federal Rules of Evidence 404(b)(1) and 403.
Id.
On November 6, 2025, the Government filed a response to Fair’s motion

explaining that, after conferring with Defense Counsel, the Government has agreed
not to present evidence of the 2014 document in its case-in-chief. ECF No. 52 at
PageID.442. However, the Government notes that it “reserves the right to present
such evidence should Fair open the door to inquiry either through cross-examination,
his case-in-chief, or if he chooses to testify in his defense.” Id.
Accordingly, because the Government has agreed not to present the 2014
document in its case-in-chief, see ECF No. 52, Defendant’s motion, ECF No. 47,
will be denied as moot. If the Government introduces the document in response to
Fair’s cross-examination, testimony, or other inquiry during the trial, Fair may object
at that time.
This is not a final order and does not close the above-captioned case.
