UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. DONNELL BRUNS, Defendant.
PROPOSED ORDER
HONORABLE PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, United States District Judge.
On September 2, 2021, CJA counsel requested approval for the use of CJA funds to purchase a laptop for defendant Donnell Bruns to review discovery materials produced by the government. Defense counsel represents that without this laptop the defendant will be unable to review effectively the discovery material that the Government has produced. It is hereby
ORDERED that defense counsel's request for CJA funds to purchase a laptop for the defendant to review discovery is granted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant shall abide by the terms of the Protective Order concerning all Disclosure Material and Sensitive Disclosure Material (as those terms are defined in the Protective Order) placed on the laptop.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant may not use the laptop for any purpose other than reviewing discovery materials produced in this case, for communicating with his CJA counsel, and for other communications relating to his defense in this case.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no later than the conclusion of the proceedings against the defendant in the district court, whether through dismissal of the charges against the defendant or the sentencing of the defendant, the defendant shall return the laptop to his counsel, who will promptly provide it to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. If the defendant is convicted following a trial, however, he may retain the laptop during any appeal.
SO ORDERED.
