Carol Moses (“Defense Counsel”), and the United States of America, by and through 

Acting Legal Officer Matthew A. McNease, hereby agree and stipulate as follows: 

1. This Court may enter a protective order pursuant to Rule 16(d) of the Federal 

Rules of Criminal Procedure, and its general supervisory authority. 

2. This Order pertains to all discovery provided to or made available to Defense 

Counsel as part of discovery in this case (hereafter, collectively known as “the 

discovery”). 

3. By signing this Stipulation and Protective Order, Defense Counsel agrees not 

to share any documents that contain Protected Information with anyone other 

than Defense Counsel attorneys, designated defense investigators, and 

support staff. Defense Counsel may permit the defendant to view unredacted 

documents in the presence of his attorneys, defense investigators, and 

support staff. The parties agree that Defense Counsel, defense investigators, 

and support staff shall not allow the defendant to copy Protected Information 

contained in the discovery. The parties agree that Defense Counsel, defense 

investigators, and support staff may provide the Defendant with copies of 

documents, if any, from which Protected Information has been redacted. 

4. The discovery and information therein may be used only in connection with the 

litigation of this case and for no other purpose. The discovery is now and will 

forever remain the property of the United States of America (“Government”). 

Defense Counsel will return the discovery to the Government or certify that it 

has been shredded at the conclusion of the case. 

5. Defense Counsel will store the discovery in a secure place and will use 

reasonable care to ensure that it is not disclosed to third persons in violation of 

this agreement. 

6. Defense Counsel shall be responsible for advising the Defendant, employees, 

and other members of the defense team, and defense witnesses of the 

contents of this Stipulation and Order.
