United States v. Lynch

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

LYNN, District Judge.

Before the Court are Defendant Stephen T. Lynch’s Motion for Severance Pursuant to Rule 14, Fed. R. Cr. P., and Defendant’s Motion for Severance Pursuant to Rule 8(a), Fed. R. Cr. P. The Court finds the joinder of Count 36, filing of a false tax return, cannot, within the confines of either Fed. R. Cr. P. 8(a) or Fed. R. Cr. P. 14, be properly joined with the other forty-seven counts in the Indictment. To the extent the Defendant seeks to sever count 36, the Motions are thus GRANTED. Defendant’s Motions are DENIED in all other respects.
