IN THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA
MARK DEAN SCHWAB
Appellant,
Case No. SC08-1199
**DEATH WARRANT**
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
/
MOTION TO STRIKE EXHIBIT
COMES NOW the State of Florida, and moves this Court to strike "Exhibit A" to Schwab’s Initial Brief. As grounds for granting this motion, the State submits the following:
1. "Exhibit A" purports to be the lethal injection procedures utilized in the State of Kentucky. This exhibit was not attached to Schwab’s third successive post-conviction relief motion, and was never a part of the circuit court proceedings.
2. It is inappropriate to attempt to present "evidence" for the first time on appeal. That is what Schwab is attempting to do, and that practice is improper.1
3. "Exhibit A" should be stricken because it was not a part of the proceedings below. Likewise, all references to that exhibit should be stricken from Schwab’s brief.
Respectfully submitted,
1 The State notes that Schwab attempted to add "evidence" under the guise of a notice of supplemental authority in Case number SC07-2138. That filing was stricken on May 21, 2008.
