BENJAMIN B. WAGNER, United States Attorney, PATRICK R. DELAHUNTY, HENRY Z. CARBAJAL, Assistant United States Attorneys Fresno, CA, Attorneys for Plaintiff United States of America.
MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO PUBLICLY FILE BOTH A REDACTED VERSION OF THE INDICTMENT AND RELATED PENALTY SLIP AND TO UNSEAL THE CASE FOR THAT LIMITED PURPOSE
SHEILA K. OBERTO, Magistrate Judge.
The Grand Jury returned an indictment against the above captioned defendants in this case. Thereafter, the United States moved to seal the Indictment, along with its accompanying arrest warrants and penalty slips. The order was granted, and the case, including the Indictment, was sealed.
Thereafter, one defendant were arrested in Nevada. The United States anticipates that the arrested defendant will appear in the District of Nevada to be arraigned on the Indictment. For the limited purpose of facilitating his arraignment, while not disclosing the identity of the remaining at-large defendants, the United States moves, pursuant to Rule 6(e), for an order directing that the attached redacted version of the Indictment and the attached penalty slip be filed in the public record and that the case be unsealed for that limited purpose. See Attachments 1 and 2. These documents shall be docketed as separate events in the case's docket, rather than as a superseding indictment or a replacement of the already-filed Indictment. The United States further requests that all other entries on the docket, including the unredacted Indictment and all other penalty slips and arrest warrants, remain sealed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
