ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR A WRIT OF
HABEAS CORPUS AD TESTIFICANDUM FOR
THE TRANSPORTATION OF ARTURO

On December 13, 2017, the Court granted Defendant’s motion and issued a writ of habeas

set forth in that order, the Court will again issue the writ. However, the Court will require a showing,

20

outside the presence of the jury as to the relevance of Mr. Gonzalez’s testimony before he will be
