applications, affidavits, ten-day reports and court orders for electronic surveillance;

recordings, transcripts and agent logs of intercepted conversations; grand jury

transcripts; agency reports; witness statements; memoranda of interview; and any

documents and tangible objects produced by the government, shall remain the property

of the United States. Upon conclusion of the trial and any appeals of this case or the

earlier resolution of charges against the defendant, all such materials and all copies

made thereof shall be destroyed. All copies withheld by the defense by express order

of Court shall be preserved only so long as is necessary for further proceedings related

to this cause, after which they shall be returned to the United States or destroyed. The

Court may require a certification as to the disposition of any such materials retained.

2. All materials provided by the United States may be utilized by the

defendant and his counsel solely in connection with the defense of this case and for no
other purpose and in connection with no other proceeding. The materials and any of

their contents shall not be disclosed either directly or indirectly to any person or entity

other than the defendant, defense counsel, and persons assisting in the defense, or

such other persons as to whom the Court may authorize disclosure. Any notes or

records of any kind that defense counsel or the defendant may make relating to the

contents of materials provided by the government shall not be disclosed to anyone

other than defendant’s counsel, and persons employed to assist the defense, or such

other person as to whom the Court may authorize disclosure, and all such notes and

records shall not be disclosed except as provided by this Order. 

3. The materials shall not be copied or reproduced except so as to provide

copies of the material for the use by defense counsel and the defendant and such

persons as are employed by them to assist in the defense and such copies and

reproductions shall be treated in the same manner as the original matter.

4. The restrictions set forth in this order do not apply to documents that are

public record, including but not limited to, trial transcripts, documents that have been

received in evidence at other trials, or documents that are otherwise in the public

domain.

5. Intentional violation of this Order is punishable as a contempt, and may

result in the imposition of civil and criminal sanctions. However, nothing contained

in this protective order shall preclude any party from applying to the Court for further

relief or for modification of any provision hereof.

6. Upon receiving this Order, defense counsel shall forthwith inform their

clients of the contents of the Order, provide them with a copy of the Order, and ensure

themselves that their clients fully understand the seriousness of any breaches of this

Order.
