Once the attorneys agree on the confidentiality order, defense counsel is to submit the proposed order to the Court. The proposed order should be submitted to the Court no later than November 16, 2012. Upon entry of the confidentiality order, unredacted copies of the records will be released to defense counsel. Defendants are further ordered to reimburse the State for the cost of producing the DFACS records.
The Motions to Quash (Docs. 19 and 22) are denied.
