GOVERNMENT'S MOTION TO SEAL COMPLAINT (Filed Under Seal)
HONORABLE DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States of America, by and through Jason Frierson, United States Attorney, and Mina Chang, Assistant United States Attorney, respectfully moves this Honorable Court for an Order sealing the Complaint, together with this Motion and the Court's Sealing Order, in the above-captioned matter until such time as the Court, or another Court of competent jurisdiction, shall order otherwise.
It is necessary for the Complaint in this case to be sealed in light of the fact that it makes reference to information regarding an ongoing investigation. Public disclosure of the information in the Complaint might jeopardize the investigation and the Government's ability to arrest defendant Robert George Beane, who is not yet in custody. If he were to find out that federal law enforcement officers were attempting to effectuate his arrest, Beane may attempt to flee, relocate, or take actions to otherwise frustrate the investigation.
To facilitate Beane's arrest, the Government respectfully requests that this Court grant the Government's motion and seal the Complaint in this case, as well as this Motion and the Court's Order on this Motion.
Order Granting Government's Motion to Seal Complaint (Filed Under Seal)
Based on the pending Motion of the Government, and good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Complaint, the Motion, and this Court's Sealing Order in the above-captioned matter shall be sealed until further Order of the Court.
