DOJ Files Motion To Stay Judge’s Upcoming Dismissal Order In Rovirosa Case
In December 2025, Ramon Alexandro Rovirosa Martinez was found guilty after a bizarre trial of various charges in connection with an alleged Mexican bribery scheme. (See here for the prior post).
As reported here, the trial featured no fact witnesses which led the judge to block the government from introducing most of its evidence until their closing argument.
Soon after the verdict, Rovirosa was taken into custody and has been in prison since.
As highlighted in this recent post, last week U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth Hoyt (S.D. Texas) indicated he will be granting defense motions to dismiss the case.
Even though Judge Hoyt has yet to issue his written decision, the DOJ has filed a motion to stay Judge Hoyt’s upcoming orders.

(i) “the Government presented evidence to the jury that was either not properly admitted into evidence and/or that should not have been admitted into evidence;”
(ii) “the jury was provided with text messages to and from alleged co-conspirators that were never properly admitted into evidence, and the Government never offered evidence to satisfy any legal exception to the hearsay rule;” and
(iii) “the jury was provided with testimonial translations of text messages with no testimony by the translator, despite defense counsel’s request and objection, in violation of the Confrontation Clause.”
