Pending before the Court are several applications by the parties to modify the proposed jury instructions circulated by the Court on January 23, 2015. (ECF No. 162.) This Opinion & Order sets forth the Court's determinations as to several proposed modifications.(See Footnote 1 on page 1 of this Opinion & Order)....[See Opinion & Order]...

OPINION & ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. Lawyers and clients make tactical decisions. The Court cannot always understand why certain decisions are made, nor need it. But when tactical decisions run contrary to established rules and case law, the Court's duty is clear. The Court is duty-bound to apply the law as it exists, not as any party wishes it to be....[See this Opinion & Order]... Why did the defense choose to proceed as it has? This Court cannot know.Perhaps a tactical choice not to show the defenses hand; perhaps to try andaccumulate appeal points; perhaps something else. In any event, the outcome ofthese choices is that the Court hereby GRANTS the Government's motions topreclude the testimony of both experts. (ECF Nos. 165, 170.)...[See this Opinion & Order]... II. CONCLUSION: For the reasons set forth above, the Government's motions to preclude are GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is directed to close the motions at ECF Nos. 165 and 170. SO ORDERED.

ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. Potential jurors will be given the questionnaire on Monday, January 5, 2015. It is anticipated that the parties will have access to the questionnaires by 3:00 p.m. on that day. The parties shall agree as between themselves which side shall take the laboring oar of filling in the spreadsheet based on juror responses. Both sides must agree that the Excel spreadsheet properly reflects the questionnaire responses. The parties shall then confer and present the Court with a list of jointly agreed strikes as well as a list of non-agreed requested strikes not later than Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. (The Court must call prospective jurors who do not need to appear.) The Court shall review all agreed cause-strikes and those proposed by one side but not agreed by the other. The Court may determine that it is appropriate to strike one or more of these (or other) potential jurors. The Court will then separate the remaining jurors into two waves: the first wave will be those jurors who do not have potential or likely cause issues, and the second wave will be all others. The Court intends to proceed with voir dire initially using the first wave of potential jurors. The second wave of potential jurors shall only be called to the courtroom if necessary. The updated juror questionnaire (reflecting the change in trial start date) is attached. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 12/19/2014)(ft)

ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. Further to the Court's questions and concerns as expressed on the record on December 15, the court needs to further understand the government's legal theory as to the following: 1. Does the government contend that the defendant was the hub in a hub and spoke conspiracy -- or would the government characterize his alleged position otherwise? 2. If the defendant is alleged to be at the center of the conspiracy as a hub or occupying a position akin to a hub, does the government agree that it must prove the existence of a rim to connect the various co-conspirators to each other? If not, please provide case law support for the government's position. 3. Does the government contend that all sellers of all types of drugs during the entire conspiracy timeframe were part of a single conspiracy? If so, please provide case law support. 4. What does "mutual dependence" mean as a matter of law and what must the government prove to demonstrate this? Put another way, apart from asserting mutual dependence, must the government show that a seller of LSD on day one of the launch was mutually dependent on a seller of heroin on day 250? 5. How does mutual dependence work when buyers and sellers are targeting particular drugs only? (That is, why does a seller of LSD care about the vibrancy of the marketplace for heroin? What type of proof could establish any necessary inference?) The court would like to have the government's responses before or at the final pre-trial conference. SO ORDERED.

CORRECTED MEMORANDUM DECISION & ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. Ross Ulbricht ("defendant" or "Ulbricht") is charged with a variety of crimes relating to his alleged design, administration, and operation of an online marketplace known as "Silk Road." (ECF No. 52.) Trial is scheduled to commence on January 5, 2015. Before the Court is the Government's request for leave to redact the names of cooperating witnesses from the list of witnesses provided as part of the Government's final pretrial materials. (ECF No. 107.) The Government has agreed to provide the identities of such witnesses on January 2, 2015. According to the Government, disclosure on that date will provide at least ten days' notice regarding the witnesses' identities prior to their testimony at trial. Defendant has opposed this application. (ECF No. 119.) The Government has represented that it will provide the identities of the cooperating witnesses on January 2, 2015, and it has disclosed the identities of its first two witnesses, both of whom are multi-day witnesses. The Court weighs defendant's need to prepare for trial against the Government's proffered reason for withholding the identities of its cooperating witnesses until January 2, 2015. And while the Court currently has no view as to the merit of the Government's contention regarding defendant's alleged solicitations of murders-for-hire, it is in no position to find that they are baseless or that witnesses who are known to be preparing to testify against defendant would not be at risk of some retaliatory act. While defendant has limited access to the outside world, that has been true of many defendants in many cases who have creatively managed around such limitations. Disclosure on January 2, 2015 is sufficient. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 12/12/2014)(ft)

ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. It is hereby ORDERED that in advance of, but to be discussed at the final pretrial conference, the parties shall confer on a list of terms likely to arise and determine whether there is any likelihood of stipulations to definitions.

A witness in the ordinary course has then explained the terms. The Court has allowed the jury to retain the handout at their seats throughout the trial. Among the types of terminology the parties will want to consider including in such a "glossary" are the following: Online chats, Application(s), Log, Browser, Tor, IP address, Servers, Server side, Bitcoin, bitcoin process: ledger, bitcoin value, PIN, PTH, Codebase, Configuration files, Controllers, Support controllers, Administrator, administrative/administrator privileges, Path, Scripting language. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 12/12/2014)(ft)

ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. The Court has conferred with the Jury Department to implement a process for calling potential jurors to be given the juror questionnaire. The process shall be as follows: Potential jurors will be given the questionnaire on Monday, December 29, 2014. It is anticipated that the parties will have access to the questionnaires by 1:00 p.m. on that day. The parties shall agree as between themselves which side shall take the laboring oar of filling in the spreadsheet based on juror responses. Both sides must agree that the Excel spreadsheet properly reflects the questionnaire responses. The parties shall then confer and present the Court with a list of jointly agreed strikes as well as a list of non-agreed requested strikes not later than Thursday, January 1, 2015 at 5:00p.m. (The Court must call prospective jurors who do not need to appear.) The Court shall review all agreed cause- strikes and those proposed by one side but not agreed by the other. The Court may determine that it is appropriate to strike one or more of these (or other) potential jurors. The Court will then separate the remaining jurors into two waves: the first wave will be those jurors who do not have potential or likely cause issues, and the second wave will be all others. The Court intends to proceed with voir dire initially using the first wave of potential jurors. The second wave of potential jurors shall only be called to the courtroom if necessary.

Memorandum and Opinion |
|
OPINION & ORDER #104931: as to (14-Cr-68-01) Ross William Ulbricht. On February 4, 2014, a federal grand jury returned Indictment 14 Cr. 68 (the "Original Indictment"), charging Ross Ulbricht ("defendant" or "Ulbricht") on four counts---all stemming from the creation, administration, and operations of an online marketplace known as "Silk Road." (ECF No. 12 ("Orig. Ind.").) On March 28, 2014, Ulbricht moved to dismiss the Original Indictment in its entirety. (ECF No. 19.) That motion became fully briefed on May 27, 2014 (ECF No. 32), and on July 9, 2014, the Court denied the motion (ECF No. 42). On August 21, 2014, the Government filed Superseding Indictment S1 14 Cr. 68 (KBF) (the "Superseding Indictment") containing three additional charges. (ECF No. 52 ("Sup. Ind.").) Ulbricht's trial is scheduled to begin on January 5, 2015. Pending before the Court is defendant's motion to dismiss Counts One through Four of the Superseding Indictment, for a bill of particulars, and "for any such other and further relief... which to the Court seems just and proper." (ECF No. 71.) For the reasons set forth below, the motion is DENIED....[See this Opinion And Order]... IV. CONCLUSION: For the reasons set forth above, defendant's motion is DENIED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 71. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 10/24/2014)(bw) Modified on 11/4/2014 (ca).

ORDER: As to Ross William Ulbricht. The Court has not received a declaration or affidavit from defendant Ross Ulbricht, demonstrating that he had a subjective expectation of privacy in any of the items seized and as to which his suppression motion relates. The Court has read his counsel's argument as to the order in which they assert that decisions should be made. The potential rationale for not submitting a declaration or affidavit may, however, be different for the servers located in premises operated by third parties, versus the wireless router located on Montgomery Street, the laptop, the Gmail and Facebook accounts. The Court will give Mr. Ulbricht one final opportunity to submit a declaration or affidavit in support of his motion (which would of course need to have sufficient specificity to establish a subjective expectation of privacy in items to which it relates). However, given that the defendant has had quite a long time already to make such a submission, if he now decides to submit one, the Court must be so notified by 5pm today (October 7) that one shall be forthcoming by tomorrow, and to specify the particular items it will cover. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 10/7/2014)(dnd)

ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. In accordance with the Court's Order on September 15, 2014 granting the use of a juror questionnaire (ECF No. 61), defendant shall provide by Friday, September 19, 2014 one Excel spreadsheet (using a template similar to that employed in United States v. Mostafa) with columns corresponding to those questions the Court has indicated it is considering including. The Court plans to finalize the juror questionnaire by Friday, September 26, 2014. The process shall be as follows: Potential jurors will be given the questionnaire on Wednesday, November 5, 2014. 2. It is anticipated that the parties will have access to the questionnaires by 1:00 p.m. on that day. 3. The parties shall agree as between themselves which side shall take the laboring oar of filling in the spreadsheet based on juror responses. Both sides must agree that the Excel spreadsheet properly reflects the questionnaire responses. The parties shall then confer and present the Court with a list of jointly agreed strikes as well as a list of non-agreed requested strikes not later thanThursday, November 6, 2014 at 7:00p.m. (The Court must call prospective jurors who do not need to appear.). The Court shall review all agreed cause-strikes and those proposed by one side but not agreed by the other. The Court may determine that it is appropriate to strike one or more of these (or other) potential jurors. The Court will then separate the remaining jurors into two waves: the first wave will be those jurors who do not have potential or likely cause issues, and the second wave will be all others. The Court intends to proceed with voir dire initially using the first wave of potential jurors. The second wave ofpotential jurors shall only be called to the courtroom if necessary.

ORDER as to Ross William Ulbricht. On June 27, 2014, a status conference was held in the above-referenced matter. (Mr. Ulbricht was not in attendance; he waived his right to appear in person. That waiver has been filed electronically.) As was discussed, the Court hereby ORDERS the following: -The parties shall submit a letter (jointly, if possible) that sets forth the status of Mr. Ulbricht' s access to discovery by the close of business on July 7, 2014. In particular, the letter shall set forth the number of hours Mr. Ulbricht requested to view the electronic discovery and the number of hours he actually had such access from June 28, 2014 through July 6, 2014. -Defendant's counsel shall notify the Court no later than the close of business on July 2, 2014 if Mr. Ulbricht has not yet received access to the hard drives. -The schedule has been adjusted as follows: defendant shall file any dispositive motion by July 29, 2014; the Government's response is due by August 26, 2014; and the reply, if any, shall be filed by September 12, 2014. Separately, the Court notes that on June 26, 2014, it received a letter motion from four incarcerated individuals seeking permission to intervene in this action (the letter is included herein). Because there is no provision that allows for such intervention in criminal actions, the Court DENIES the request.(See Footnote 1). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 6/27/2014) [*** FOOTNOTE 1: The Court notes that as a matter of policy and practice, the proceedings that occur and the submissions that are made in this matter are, generally speaking, publicly available - it is an open courtroom and a public docket. ***] (bw)
