STIPULATED INTERIM ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY PROTECTIVE ORDER

JAMES DONATO, District Judge.

With the agreement of the parties, the Court enters the following Protective Order:

Defendant is charged with violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 545 and 2320. As directed by the Court, the United States will produce copies of the forensic images or other data extracted from the electronic devices identified as Evidence Numbers D1602611_Ln001, D1602610_Ln001, and D1602610_Ln002. The United States will also produce financial records designated with Bates numbers LC-001146-LC-001981, LC-003168-LC-003171, LC-004111-LC-004816, and LC-021034-LC-021682. Collectively these items will be described herein as the "Discovery Material."

The Discovery Material to be provided includes documents or other materials falling into one or more of the following categories (collectively, "Protected Information"):

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the United States will label the media containing the Discovery Material "Confidential — Protected Information pursuant to Court Order — Attorney's Eyes Only."

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defense counsel of record, their investigators, assistants, and employees (collectively, "the defense counsel team") may review all discovery material produced by the government, but shall not allow defendant to view, provide defendant with copies of, permit defendant to make copies of, or have unsupervised access to, any discovery material produced by the government designated as Protected, unless the Personal Identifying Information, Financial Information, and/or Medical Information has first been entirely redacted from the discovery materials. The government and defense counsel are ordered to work together to ensure that these materials are protected, but that defendant has as much access to the materials as can be provided consistent with this Court's order. Discovery material that clearly pertains to a specific defendant and does not contain Protected Information regarding any other person (e.g., defendant's own bank records, telephone records, and business records) may be provided to that defendant unredacted.

Defense counsel may also provide unredacted copies of Protected Information to any experts retained to assist with the preparation of the defense in the captioned case. The defendant, all members of the defense counsel team, and any experts who receive discovery under this Order shall be provided a copy of this Order along with those materials and shall sign and date the Acknowledgment reflecting their agreement to be bound by it.

The materials provided pursuant to this protective order may only be used for the specific purpose of preparing or presenting a defense in this matter unless specifically authorized by the Court.

This Order shall also apply to any copies made of any materials covered by this Order.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that neither a defendant nor any member of the defense counsel team shall provide any discovery material produced by the government — whether or not the material constitutes or contains Protected Information within the meaning of this Order — to any third party (i.e., any person who is not a member of the defense team) or make any public disclosure of the same, other than in a court filing, without the government's express written permission or further order of this Court. If a party files a pleading that references or contains or attaches Protected Information subject to this Order, that filing must be under seal.1

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defense counsel shall return materials subject to this Protective Order (including any copies) to the United States within 14 days after whichever event occurs last in time: dismissal of all charges against the defendant; defendant's acquittal; defendant's sentencing; or the conclusion of any direct appeal. After the United States receives documents and materials subject to this Order, it shall maintain those documents and materials until the period for filing a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 has expired. After the statutory period for filing a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 has expired, the United States is free to destroy documents and materials subject to this Order. If defendant is represented by counsel and files a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, the United States will provide counsel with the documents and materials subject to this Protective Order under the terms of this Order. Defendant's attorney in any motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 shall return the documents and materials subject to this Protective Order within 14 days after the district court's ruling on the motion or 14 days after the conclusion of any direct appeal of the district court's order denying the motion, whichever is later. This stipulation is without prejudice to either party applying to the Court to modify the terms of any protective order. This Court shall retain jurisdiction to modify this Order upon motion of either party even after the conclusion of district court proceedings in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
