Criminal No. 26-10031-RGS-JCB 
 
 
[PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 
 
Upon consideration of the government’s Assented-To Motion for Protective Order, and 
pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(d) and Local Rules 7.2 and 116.6, it is hereby 
ORDERED that: 
1) 
The discovery materials produced by the government in this case may be used by 
the defendants, defendants’ counsel, and any experts or employees or agents of defendants’ 
counsel solely in defense of this case, including any appeal, and for no other purpose and in 
connection with no other proceeding.  
2) 
The defendants and defendants’ counsel shall not disclose any discovery materials, 
directly or indirectly, to any other person except those assisting the defense, persons who are 
interviewed as potential witnesses, or potential experts employed during the course of and as 
necessitated by the investigation and defense of this case.  
3) 
Except in the case of expert witnesses, copies of discovery materials may only be 
shown to or played for, but not given to, potential witnesses. Defendants’ counsel shall redact any 
Case 1:26-cr-10031-RGS     Document 38-1     Filed 03/05/26     Page 1 of 4

 
 
2 
Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and financial account numbers of third parties from the 
copies of materials shown to or played for any witnesses (excluding defendants, subject to the 
terms of Paragraph 4, below).  However, if the materials shown to or played for a particular 
witness contain confidential information belonging to that particular witness, that information need 
not be redacted from the materials shown to or played for that witness. 
4) 
Defense counsel and their office staff (“the defense”) shall maintain any discovery 
materials marked confidential by the government (“the Confidential Discovery Materials”), 
including any copies the defense makes, as follows: 
a) 
Except as provided below, the defense shall maintain possession of all 
copies of the Confidential Discovery Materials. No copy may be left in the 
possession of the defendants, nor may the defendants write down, 
photograph, or otherwise record the content of the Confidential Discovery 
Materials. A copy may be left with the Plymouth County Correctional 
Facility or the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility (collectively, “the 
Facilities”) for secure review of the materials by any detained defendants as 
described below.   
b) 
A copy of this protective order shall be kept with the copies of the 
Confidential Discovery Materials at all times. 
c) 
The only people who may view the Confidential Discovery Materials are 
the defense, the defendants, and any experts or other trial preparation 
professionals (“defense professionals”) designated by the defense, as 
detailed below. Defendants who are not detained may access and view the 
Case 1:26-cr-10031-RGS     Document 38-1     Filed 03/05/26     Page 2 of 4

 
 
3 
Confidential Discovery Materials solely in the presence (including via 
remote technology) of the defense (defense counsel or their office staff) and 
under the direct supervision and control of the defense. Detained defendants 
may access and view the Confidential Discovery Materials provided to them 
by their counsel at the Facilities, according to the protocols established by 
the Facilities for the secure review of evidence by detained defendants, 
consistent with this Order, including the restrictions in subparagraph 4(a), 
above.   
d) 
In no event shall the defense or the defendants disclose or describe any of 
the Confidential Discovery Materials to any other person or entity other than 
the government or this Court, other than under the terms laid out below, or 
as necessary during a court proceeding, subject to redactions protecting 
confidential information in accordance with this Court’s Local Rules. 
5) 
The defense and the defendants may describe or provide copies of the Confidential 
Discovery Materials to any defense professional retained by them, but only if: 
a) 
The defense professional signs a copy of this Order, and by doing so, agrees 
to maintain the Confidential Discovery Materials in accordance with the 
above procedures as if they were members of the defense and solely for the 
purposes of assisting the defense in this case, and not for any commercial 
or other purpose; and 
b) 
The procedures outlined above shall govern the defense professional’s use, 
maintenance, disclosure, and safekeeping of the evidence, except that the 
Case 1:26-cr-10031-RGS     Document 38-1     Filed 03/05/26     Page 3 of 4

 
 
4 
defense professional may maintain the discovery materials at their offices, 
but only under the same secure conditions provided above. 
6) 
Defense counsel shall promptly notify the government and the Court if any 
Confidential Discovery Materials are disclosed to anyone not designated by this Order or further 
order of the Court, either intentionally or unintentionally.  The defendants and any defense 
professional shall promptly notify defense counsel of any such disclosures. 
7) 
At the end of these proceedings, the defendants, the defense, and the defense 
professionals shall return the Confidential Discovery Materials to the government or certify to the 
government that the Confidential Discovery Materials have been destroyed. 
8) 
Nothing in this Order will preclude any party from applying to the Court for further 
relief or for modification of any provision hereof.
