This legal document is a memorandum of law, likely from the prosecution, arguing for the admission of an exhibit (GX 52) into evidence. It counters a defense objection that the witness, Mr. Alessi, cannot authenticate the exhibit because he has no personal knowledge of its creation. The memorandum cites several legal precedents to support the argument that a document can be authenticated under Rule 901(b)(4) based on its distinctive characteristics or a witness's general familiarity, even without direct observation of its creation.
