GOVERNMENT'S APPLICATION REQUESTING SEALING OF COMPLAINT

The United States of America, by and through Steven W. Myhre, Acting United States Attorney, and Richard Anthony Lopez, Assistant United States Attorney, respectfully moves this Honorable Court for an Order sealing the Complaint 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 documents to be sealed in light of the fact that they make reference to information regarding an on-going investigation. The Government submits that disclosure of the information might possibly jeopardize the investigation. The Government submits that its right to secrecy far outweighs the public's right to know.

The Government further submits that it is necessary for the Complaint to be sealed in light of the fact that it references personal identifying information of parties and non-parties, such as a non-party's home address, which may not be filed publicly under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1 and Local Rule IC 6-1.

ORDER

Based on the pending Application of the Government, and good cause appearing therefor,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Complaint in the above-captioned matter shall be sealed until further Order of the Court.
