Case number 23-3061, United States of America versus Patrick Edward McCauhey III, a balance.

[00:00:08] Speaker 00:
Mr. Boyle for the balance, Mr. Hill for the envelope.

[00:00:12] Speaker 01:
Good morning, counsel.

[00:00:13] Speaker 01:
I understand that the parties have agreed that the government should speak first in this case, so we'll hear from the government.

[00:00:21] Speaker 00:
Good morning, your honor.

[00:00:21] Speaker 00:
May it please the court?

[00:00:23] Speaker 00:
My name is Crisellen Kolb.

[00:00:26] Speaker 00:
I have not formally entered an appearance in this matter.

[00:00:29] Speaker 00:
Um, I am with Mr. Hill.

[00:00:31] Speaker 00:
Uh, I am currently the chief of the appellate division, the U S attorney's office, uh, pursuant to rule 48.

[00:00:37] Speaker 00:
Um, the government is moving to dismiss this case prejudice government sites to pardon me.

[00:00:46] Speaker 00:
Yes, your honor.

[00:00:48] Speaker 00:
Um, the government sites to the executive order dated January 20th, 2025, granting pardons and commutation of sentences

[00:00:56] Speaker 00:
for certain offenses relating to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021 as the reason for this dismissal.

[00:01:07] Speaker 01:
Thank you.

[00:01:07] Speaker 00:
Thank you, Your Honor.

[00:01:09] Speaker 01:
Council for Mr. McCauhey wish to speak?

[00:01:15] Speaker 00:
The defense has no objection, Your Honor.

[00:01:18] Speaker 01:
Thank you.

[00:01:19] Speaker 01:
All right, we will expect filings from both counsel as to whether they wish to dismiss this appeal and have it remanded to the district court for dismissal with prejudice, which would be the appropriate process.

[00:01:31] Speaker 01:
We'll expect those letters as promptly as possible because this is a criminal case.

[00:01:35] Speaker 01:
And with that, the case is submitted.

[00:01:37] Speaker 00:
Thank you.
