ORDER

On October 15, 2019, the Court held a telephonic status conference with the parties in this matter and the Coordinating Discovery Attorney ("CDA"). At that conference, the Court addressed efforts to facilitate the Defendants' access to discovery at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Guaynabo, P.R. ("MDC Guaynabo").

On October 16, 2019, the United States filed a notice regarding the accessibility of the discovery in this matter at MDC Guaynabo. In that notice, the United States confirmed that Defendants have access to the discovery room at MDC Guaynabo seven days a week, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., excluding holidays and when unit 4C has social visits.

Additionally, the United States informed the parties and the Court that MDC Guaynabo would accept 128 GB DOJ wallet flash drives containing discovery. The United States indicated that it would be acceptable for such drives to be produced directly by the CDA if provided to the CDA by the United States. The United States also indicated that, upon order of the Court, MDC Guaynabo would accept an external flash drive larger than 128 GB provided by the CDA.

On October 24, 2019, the Defendants jointly requested the Court to issue an order requiring the United States, through its component MDC Guaynabo, to accept such external flash drives from the CDA and to make those drives available to the Defendants for review.

The premises considered, it is hereby

ORDERED that the Defendants' motion, ECF No. 545, is GRANTED; it is further

ORDERED that the United States, through its component MDC Guaynabo, shall accept USB flash drives containing global discovery provided by the CDA; and it is further

ORDERED that the United States, through its component MDC Guaynabo, shall make such flash drives available for review by the Defendants in the discovery room.
