UNITED STATES, Plaintiff, v. ELDON LEINWEBER, Defendant.
ORDER
Jamal N. Whitehead, United States District Judge
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Eldon Leinweber's unopposed motion for authorization to transfer records under protective order. Having considered the motion and the relevant record, the Court GRANTS the motion and orders as follows:
1. Leinweber may transfer any records or information obtained in discovery or investigation of this case that are subject to the existing protective order at United States v. Leinweber, 2:19-cr-00209-WFN-1 (E.D. WASH.), Dkt. Nos. 21, 23 to the Washington State Attorney General's Office.
2. Leinweber must provide the Attorney General's Office a copy of the existing protective order if he transfers any records or information as contemplated above.
If Leinweber wishes to bind the Attorney General's Office to the terms of the existing protective order, the Attorney General's Office must agree to be bound by the protective order and submit to the Court's jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the protective order's terms. See, e.g., United States District Court For The Western District of Washington Model Stipulated Protective Order, Exhibit A, Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound.
