Case No. 5:15-cv-04878-RMW

On this date, the Court considered the United States’ Administrative Motion to File 

Loterstein Declaration Under Seal. The Court finds that the Loterstein Declaration discloses 

“matters occurring before a grand jury,” which, if made public at this time, would reveal the 

nature and scope, and compromise the integrity and secrecy of, the grand jury investigations.

The Court further finds that the contents of the Loterstein Declaration are within the scope of 

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e)’s secrecy protection. See United States v. Index 

Newspapers LLC, 766 F.3d 1072, 1086 (9th Cir. 2014). 

Upon balancing the interests of the public in access to judicial documents and the 

government’s interest in grand jury secrecy,

IT IS ORDERED that the United States’ Administrative Motion to File Loterstein

Declaration under Seal is GRANTED. 

The Clerk of Court shall file under seal the Declaration of Attorney Michael N. 

Loterstein in Support of United States’ Motion to Intervene.
