The following documents and materials are deemed Protected Material. The United States will make available copies of the Protected Materials, including those filed under seal, to defense counsel to comply with the government's discovery obligations. Possession of copies of the Protected Materials is limited to the attorneys of record, and investigators, paralegals, law clerks, experts, and assistants for the attorneys of record (hereinafter collectively referred to as members of the defense team). This category of Protected Materials will be marked and labeled as “Protected Material”:

2. Scope of Review of Protected Material
The Government agrees that it would provide the defense with an unredacted version that identifies the information above. The parties agree that the defense team may provide the redacted version to the defendant, and may review the unredacted version with the defendant in the presence of a defense team member or controlled environment so long as the Defendant is not permitted to retain any copies of that unredacted material. The defense agrees that will not provide a paper copy of the unredacted version to the defendant.

4. Filing of Protected Material
Any Protected Material that is filed with the Court in connection with pre-trial motions, trial, sentencing, or other matter before this Court, shall be filed under seal and shall remain sealed until otherwise ordered by this Court.
