ORDER

PHILIP BRIMMER, District Judge

This matter is before the Court on defendant's Motion to Disclose Grand Jury Transcript to Defendant [Docket No. 154]. Having reviewed the file and being sufficiently advised in the premises, the Court finds and concludes as follows:

The Court may order the disclosure of grand jury material relating to this case before trial pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 6(e)(3)(E)(i). Rule (6)(e)(3)(E) provides in part that the "court may authorize disclosure — at a time, in a manner, and subject to any other conditions that it directs — of a grand jury matter: (i) preliminarily to or in connection with a judicial proceeding."

Therefore, it is

ORDERED that the Government's Motion to Disclose Grand Jury Transcript to Defendant [Docket No. 154] is GRANTED. It is further

ORDERED that the government may provide to the defense counsel of record in this case transcripts of grand jury testimony and exhibits thereto (whether on paper or by means of electronic media) in relation to the indictment in this case. Any grand jury transcripts or material received pursuant to this order shall be used for official purposes only. It is further

ORDERED that: (1) copies of grand jury transcripts or other material provided to the defense counsel of record shall remain in the personal control of counsel, his employees, and/or his professional associates; (2) the defendant may review the grand jury transcripts or material, but control of such materials shall remain with counsel, his employees, and/or his professional associates; (3) counsel may make copies of such grand jury materials for his internal purposes related to this case; and (4) any grand jury transcripts or material disclosed by the government to defense counsel pursuant to this order, including copies generated from electronic media, shall be maintained in the confidential files of the attorney of record during the pendency of this case and delivered to the United States Attorney's Office within ten days after the conclusion of the case.
