This legal document is a preliminary statement from the U.S. Government, filed on April 24, 2020, in opposition to a motion by defendant Michael Thomas to compel discovery. The Government argues that Thomas's request for materials—including a not-yet-existent DOJ-OIG report and documents about past incidents at the Metropolitan Correctional Center—is without merit because the items are not in the Government's possession or legally discoverable. The Government requests that the court deny Thomas's motion.
