ORDER TO PRECLUDE NOTICE PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)
UNDER SEAL
HON. DEBORAH BARNES UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
ORDER
IT APPEARING that prior notice of this Order to any person of this investigation or this application and Order entered in connection therewith would seriously jeopardize the investigation;
IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b), GOOGLE, INC shall not disclose the existence of the search warrant, the application, or this Order of the Court, to the listed subscriber or to any other person, until March 1, 2024.
The Court determines that there is reason to believe that notification of the existence of the underlying search warrant will seriously jeopardize the investigation or unduly delay a trial, including: giving targets an opportunity to flee or continue flight from prosecution, destroy or tamper with evidence, and/or change patterns of behavior. See 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED under 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b) that GOOGLE, INC shall not disclose the existence of the underlying search warrant, or this Order of the Court, to the listed subscriber or to any other person, unless and until otherwise authorized to do so by the Court, except that GOOGLE, INC may disclose the search warrant to an attorney for GOOGLE, INC for the purpose of receiving legal advice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the application and this Order are sealed until otherwise ordered by the Court.
