STIPULATION AND ORDER TO PERMIT DEFENDANT ANDRE WALTERS'S APPELLATE COUNSEL TO ACCESS SENTENCING DOCUMENTS FILED UNDER SEAL

TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America and defendant Andre Antonio Walters, by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. Mr. Walters is represented in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Case No. 17-10266) by Alexis Haller. Mr. Haller did not represent Mr. Walters during trial and sentencing proceedings in this Court.

2. In connection with Mr. Walters's sentencing, both parties filed documents under seal. See Docket Nos. 287-289, 299-300. To adequately represent Mr. Walters on appeal — including with respect to the preparation of Excerpts of Record required under Ninth Circuit Rule 30-1 and 30-1.6(c) — Mr. Haller needs a filed copy of the under seal filings. The United States does not oppose Mr. Haller gaining access to the under seal material for purposes of the aforementioned appeal, with the understanding that all such materials remain under seal in the District Court.

3. Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree that Mr. Haller should be provided access to the materials filed under seal in connection with Mr. Walters's sentencing. The parties further agree that all such materials should otherwise remain under seal in this Court.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

The Court further orders that all such materials shall otherwise remain under seal.

IT IS SO FOUND AND ORDERED.
