USA v. McReynolds, et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
United States of America,
Plaintiff,
v.
Alvin Anthony Watkins, Jr.,
Defendant.
Case No. 25-cr-225 (2) (PJS/DJF)
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Alvin Anthony Watkins, Jr.’s Motion for Rule
16 Discovery Regarding Forensic Testing and Experts (ECF No. 39) (“Motion”). The Motion asks
the Court “for an Order directing the government to immediately disclose the Reports of
Examinations and Tests and any Expert Witnesses it intends to offer at trial.” (Id. at 1.) The Court
held a hearing on Mr. Watkins’ Motion, along with other Motions related to this matter, on
November 5, 2025. (ECF No. 64 at 8-9.) At the hearing, Mr. Watkins’ counsel said the government
had provided him with the materials his Motion seeks, but it was a large amount of information that
he had not yet had the opportunity to fully review. The Court stated that if Mr. Watkins found any
deficiencies, he should note them in his post-hearing briefing. Mr. Watkins has not filed anything
related to the Motion since the hearing and the deadline for such briefing has passed. The Court
therefore concludes the government has provided him with the requested materials and DENIES the
Motion as MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
