IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Contact Information is provided to the Defense for purposes of investigating, preparing for trial, trial, and any appeals of this matter and for no other purpose. The parties further agree that the Contact Information produced by the United States may not be copied or further disseminated in any way to any other person or entity who is not part of the Defense, including the Defendant.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Defense take all reasonable steps to (a) maintain the confidentiality of the discovery, and (b) safeguard the discovery produced in this case from inadvertent disclosure or review by any third party.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Defense agrees to return to the United States or destroy any and all copies of the Contact Information within 90 days of the conclusion of the proceedings in the above-referenced case, including any appeal.
