ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR GOVERNMENT AGENTS TO RETAIN ROUGH NOTES [DOC. 180]
Defendant Paul Hogan filed this motion for government agents to retain and preserve all rough notes taken as part of their investigation notwithstanding the fact that the contents of said notes are now or may later be incorporated in official records or reports. The stated purpose of defendant's motion is to place the government on notice that any destruction of their rough notes cannot be in good faith as of the time of the filing of the motion. The government has not filed a response to defendant's motion. Now, therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant's motion for retention of rough notes is GRANTED.
