CONSENSUAL PROTECTIVE ORDER

LOUISE W. FLANAGAN, District Judge.

This matter is before the court following the telephonic hearing held on March 30, 2017 to, among other matters, determine whether Claimants shall be allowed access to the presentence investigation report and competency evaluation of proposed government witness Thurman Bohne (hereafter "Requested Materialsn), as provided to the Court and counsel in United States v. Bohne, No. 5:15-CR-00007-F-3 under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3153(c) (1), 3552, and 4247. The Court has reviewed the Requested Material and concludes that while the Government has committed no discovery violation, as it correctly notes that only the Court may release the Requested Documents under Local Criminal Rule 11.1, both counsel for the Government and Claimants shall be allowed access to and use of the Requested Material for purposes of this litigation.

For good cause shown, finding such requested disclosure of otherwise confidential information to both parties necessary to aid in this litigation, and with consent of the parties,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

Right of access for the parties shall be limited to only those employees of the parties who need to have access for purposes of this litigation. All counsel hereby mutually authorize counsel for any witness to examine the Requested Materials. Claimants' counsel may confer with Claimants regarding the Requested Material, and Claimants are otherwise permitted to use the Requested Material for purposes of this litigation. Any person having access to this material shall be informed that it is confidential and subject to a nondisclosure order by this Court. Individuals to whom this material is made available are bound by the restrictions in this order. Counsel for the parties shall take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals in their employ and persons mutually authorized by all counsel to examine such materials comply with this order.

2. Those having right of access to the Requested Materials shall use such material and information derived therefrom only for purposes of litigating the instant lawsuit. The Government's and Claimants' attorneys shall not use or disclose, and shall take all reasonable steps to prevent the use or disclosure of, such material or information for any other reason.
