MOTION TO SEAL AT LEVEL II:
INDICTMENT, ARREST WARRANT.
THIS MOTION. & DOCKET TEXT ENTRIES
The United States of America respectfully moves to seal at Level II the indictment and
arrest wairant in this case, tliis motion, and the corresponding docket text entries until the
defendant is taken into custody.
Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1(d) and Local Rule 83.12(a)(1), the Court
has authority to grant this motion.
The Court should seal these documents because, based on investigative information, it is
unlikely that the defendant is awai'e that they are the target of a criminal investigation or that
they have been indicted. The premature release of these documents may cause the defendant to
destroy evidence, flee to avoid arrest, and make apprehending them more difficult and dangerous
than it would be otherwise.
The United States expressly excludes from the scope of this motion the distribution of the
arrest warrant to and among law enforcement agencies, including the posting of the arrest
warrants to law enforcement databases and indices.
