Defendant
A F F I D A V I T
STATE OF NEW YORK )
COUNTY OF ERIE ) SS:
CITY OF BUFFALO )
MAURA K. O'DONNELL, being duly sworn, deposes and states:
1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney for the Western
District of New York and assigned to my office's file concerning
this action.
2. On March 5 and March 8, 2010, the defendant was convicted
following a jury trial on case number 09-CR-121-S. Despite the
government's request for detention, the defendant was released on
conditions as set by the Court. On March 25, 2010, the defendant
again appeared before Chief District Judge Skretny and pled guilty
to Count III of indictment 08-CR-54 and Count I of indictment 09-
CR-141. Again, the defendant was continued on release on home
incarceration and other standard conditions.
Case 1:09-cr-00121-WMS-HKS Document 240 Filed 10/22/10 Page 3 of 6
3. Among the conditions of the defendant's release is the
condition that he not engage in any activity that can reasonably be
construed as a threat against any prosecutor, and that he not
determine or attempt to determine the home address of any member of
the U.S. Attorney's Office.
4. The defendant has filed numerous documents throughout this
case. On October 20, 2010, he filed a document entitled,
"Mandatory Judicial Notice of Responses to Sentencing Factors and
Memorandum by Foreign Agents with no Jurisdiction and Racketeering
Activity's." (Document 150).
5. Page 5 of the document purports to be an arrest warrant
for AUSA Anthony Bruce. It is entitled, "warrant for arrest," and
purports to be directed to "the United States Marshal and any
authorized United States Officer," and says such individuals are
"Hereby commanded to arrest Anthony M. Bruce."
6. In addition, page 7 of the document lists AUSA Bruce's
work address and gives a town and state of AUSA Bruce's "last known
residence."
2
Case 1:09-cr-00121-WMS-HKS Document 240 Filed 10/22/10 Page 4 of 6
7. This conduct constitutes an attempt to intimidate one of
the Assistant U.S. Attorneys assigned to the defendant's case.
While the defendant has made reference to AUSA Bruce and other
members of the U.S. Attorney's Office in his previous filings, this
document is more serious, in that it specifically targets Mr.
Bruce, calls for his arrest, and makes reference to his residence
and place of employment. This document is a threat, and its filing
is a violation of the defendant's condition of release.
8. While the "warrant" does not list Mr. Bruce's home
address, it is apparent that by listing the state and town of his
"last known residence," the defendant has determined or attempted
to determine Mr. Bruce's home address, a further violation of his
conditions of release.
9. On the basis of the foregoing, the defendant has failed to
comply with the conditions of his release. This conduct
constitutes a change in circumstances which warrants a change in
the defendant's bail status. There is no condition or combination
of conditions that will assure that the defendant will not pose a
danger to the safety of any other person or the community.
10. Title 18, United States Code, Section 3143(a) states that
"a judicial officer shall order that a person who has been found
guilty of an offense and who is awaiting imposition or execution of
sentence... be detained, unless the judicial officer finds by clear

Case 1:09-cr-00121-WMS-HKS Document 240 Filed 10/22/10 Page 5 of 6
and convincing evidence that the person is not likely to flee or
pose a danger of to the safety of any other person in the community
if he is released."
11. The defendant has been convicted in three separate cases,
and is scheduled for sentencing on November 5, 2010. The defendant
is facing a potential sentence of incarceration. The defendant's
recent filing, which includes a warrant for Mr. Bruce, shows that
he is a danger to the community, and that he is unable to abide by
the conditions of his release.
WHEREFORE, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Sections
3148(b) and 3143(a), the government requests that the defendant's
Release Order be revoked and that he be remanded pending his
sentencing on November 5, 2010. The government also requests that
the Court issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest
