United States v. Ross

United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
588 F. Supp. 2d 777 (2008)

SC

Facts

Bryan Ross (defendant) was charged with fraud. After his arrest, a meeting occurred between Ross and federal agents investigating the fraud. According to the government (plaintiff), the meeting was to ascertain whether Ross had any information that would make beginning plea discussions fruitful. The U.S. attorney assigned to the case, Blondell Morey, authorized the meeting but was not present. Ross made inculpatory statements at the meeting. Ross filed a motion in limine to exclude those statements under Federal Rule of Evidence 410 (Rule 410) on the ground that they were part of plea discussions. The government contended that Rule 410 did not apply because Morey was not present at the meeting.
