ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION [57 in Lead Case, 47 in Member Case]
TO CHARGE LEE COUNTY EMPLOYEES WITH TAMPERING
WITH FEDERAL EVIDENCE
This matter comes before the court on the plaintiff’s Motion [57 in Lead Case, 47 in Member
Case] to Charge Lee County Employees with Tampering with Federal Evidence. As charging
persons with a federal crime is a function of the executive branch of government, the court (part of the
judicial branch) is without authority to do so. As such, the instant motion [57 in Lead Case, 47 in
Member Case] is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this, the 9th day of May, 2022.
