United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOSE SOLTERO,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cr-00007-SI-1 

ORDER RE: PRODUCTION OF DEA 

AGENT MANUAL

In an order filed February 18, 2015, the Court granted defendant's motion to compel 

discovery and directed the government to produce the DEA Agent Manual regarding handling of 

confidential informants. Instead of producing the manual, the government submitted the index to 

the Court for in camera review to determine relevance. 

The Court has reviewed the index, and finds that the index entries are brief and lacking in 

detail. Based upon the Court's review, the only sections of the manual that appear obviously 

irrelevant are those sections relating to foreign confidential sources. Accordingly, the Court 

directs the government to produce to defendant the DEA Agent Manual, excluding the sections 

relating to foreign confidential sources, subject to the terms of the Protective Order Re: DEA 

Agent's Manual. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 23, 2015
