MOTION TO UNSEAL GOVERNMENT'S MOTION IN LIMINE TO ADMIT AT TRIAL DEFENDANT JONES'S STATEMENTS

PHILIP M. PRO, District Judge.

The United States of America, by and through Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney, and Nicholas D. Dickinson, Assistant United States Attorney, for the District of Nevada, and by and through Jocelyn Samuels, Acting Assistant Attorney General, and Patricia A. Sumner and Julia Gegenheimer, Trial Attorneys, for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, hereby moves to unseal the government's Motion in Limine to Admit at Trial Defendant Jones's Statements (Doc. 241). On March 6, 2014, Judge Hoffman granted defendant Ross Hack's Motion to Amend C.R. 108 (the confidential discovery protective order) in which defendant Hack proposed the following amendment to the protective order, among others: "references to the identity of witnesses and to the content of statements should be permitted in pretrial motions, pleadings and other documents filed with the court — the complete statement if necessary would be filed under seal." Document 186 at pp. 2-3. In accordance with Judge Hoffman's verbal order granting defendant Hack's motion, the government requests that the Court unseal the government's Motion in Limine to Admit at Trial Defendant Jones's Statements (Doc. 241). However, also in accordance with Judge Hoffman's order amending the protective order, the exhibits filed with the government's motion — which are complete witness statements, including grand jury transcripts — should remain under seal.

IT IS SO ORDERED:
