USA v. Fuhrer et al

1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ALASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
CRAIG KING,
Defendant.
Case No. 3:19-cr-00026-TMB-SAO-5
ORDER ON DEFENDANT CRAIG
KING’S ELEVENTH MOTION IN LIMINE
(DKT. 897)
Before the Court is Defendant Craig King’s Eleventh Motion in Limine (the “Motion”).1
Craig moves under Federal Rules of Evidence 404(b) and 403 to “exclude any testimony or other
evidence alleging that he stole motorcycles or possessed stolen motorcycles.”2 He argues “[a]ny
allegation that Craig stole motorcycles or possessed stolen motorcycles is irrelevant to this case
and is highly prejudicial.”3 In response, the Government says it “does not intend to elicit this
testimony from any law enforcement witnesses” and “will instruct the witnesses as such.”4
1 Dkt. 897 (Motion).
2 Id. at 3.
3 Id. at 2. Craig asserts,
Law enforcement officers in this case accused Craig, while searching his residence,
of stealing motorcycles or possessing stolen motorcycles. Craig did own two
motorcycles that were titled in his name. Those bikes are still titled in Craig’s name
with the Department of Motor Vehicles. No charges were ever filed against Craig
alleging that he stole one or more motorcycles or possessed stolen motorcycles.
The Government does not dispute Craig’s characterization of the facts. See generally Dkt. 950
(Response).
4 Dkt. 950 at 2.
