COMES NOW, the United States of America, by and through Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada, James E. Keller, Assistant United States Attorney, Arthur G. Wyatt, Chief, Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section, and Brian Sardelli, Trial Attorney, moves the Court to permit the government to provide the discovery in this case, which has been protected per the Court's order [Document #30], to third-party individual Ryan Eaton, through his attorney, Eric Stevenson, Esq. Mr. Eaton is not currently charged in this case, but is a potential co-defendant in this matter and this discovery will allow his attorney, Eric Stevenson, Esq., to evaluate his client's case and to assess whether to seek to resolve this case short of his client's charging in the case. A copy of the protective order will also be provided to Mr. Eaton and Mr. Eaton's counsel, Eric Stevenson. Notice of the disclosure of this discovery to Ryan Eaton and his attorney, Eric Stevenson, Esq., will be provided to defendants Ritchie and Galecki through each of their respective counsel. Mr. Stevenson and his client, Mr. Eaton, understand and agree (as Mr. Stevenson has confirmed with the undersigned) to be bound by the protective order as if they were a party in this case if they receive this discovery.
