UNITED STATES' OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR LEAVE OF COURT TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENTIARY BRIEF BY MICHAEL LOVERN, SR., ET AL

The United States opposes the motion of Michael Lovern, Sr. to file supplemental materials in these proceedings.(1) As the United States has explained in previous filings, Mr. Lovern's claims are completely unrelated to the issues before the Court.(2)

Conclusion

The Court should deny Mr. Lovern's Motion for Leave of Court to File Supplemental Evidentiary Brief.
