Judge Glasser

UNITED STATES v. JOHN IMBRIECO — The defendant, Imbrieco, has orally, in open court and by letter dated January 28, 2003, requested the Court to direct “the government to disclose the identity of an informant who provided exculpatory evidence to a federal agent during the course of the investigation of the crimes charged herein.” That request is bottomed upon a police report dated December 5, 1994, written by a New York City Detective named McGibbon. In that report, McGibbon memorialized a conversation with Jeff Troy, an FBI agent, who related that a reliable confidential informant (“CI”) was told by someone else (“UI”) the CI deemed reliable, that “Carmine did the shooting.” Counsel for the defendant contacted Agent Troy from whom he learned that his informant was subsequently deemed to be unreliable by another agent of the FBI who discontinued working with him. That quadruple hearsay (UI-CITroy-McGibbon) is asserted to be exculpatory of Imbrieco who is charged with murdering Sabatino Lombardi.
