GOVERNMENT'S EX PARTE APPLICATION REQUESTING SEALING OF THE COMPLAINT
PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
COMES NOW the United States of America, by and through Nicholas A. Trutanich, United States Attorney, and Brian Whang, Assistant United States Attorney, and respectfully moves this Honorable Court for an Order sealing the Complaint, together with this Application and the Court's Order, in the above-captioned matter until such time as this Honorable Court, or another Court of competent jurisdiction, shall order otherwise.
The Government submits that it is necessary for said document to be sealed in light of the fact that it refers to information regarding an on-going investigation. The Government submits that disclosure of the information contained in the Complaint may give the defendant the opportunity to flee or evade capture by law enforcement officers, to destroy valuable evidence in his possession or control and to tamper with witnesses. The Government submits that its right to secrecy far outweighs the public's right to know.
ORDER SEALING
Based on the pending Ex Parte Application of the Government, and good cause appearing therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Complaint, together with the Government's Application and this Court's Order, in the above-captioned matter, shall be sealed until further order of the Court.
