I, Stanley A. Boone, declare and state as follows:
1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney and I am co-counsel responsible for the prosecution of the instant case.
2. I respectfully request that this court order that the Warrant of Arrest and Criminal Complaint in this case be kept secret and under seal until further order of this court, save for it's service and execution upon the necessary party. This request is made to .protect the on-going investigation as well as to secure the defendants' arrest prior to public disclosure of the warrants and complaint. Disclosure could hamper the Federal Bureau of Investigation's ability to execute upon the warrant if disclosure is made prior to arrest.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
