GOVERNMENT’S MOTION AND SUPPORTING BRIEF
TO SEAL INDICTMENT AND ARREST WARRANTS

The United States of America hereby moves for an order sealing the Indictment
and Arrest Warrants in this case and states:
1. The indictment in this case charges the Defendants with one or more federal
crimes.
2. Rule 6(e)(4) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provides:

(4) Sealed Indictment. The magistrate judge to whom an indictment is
returned may direct that the indictment be kept secret until the defendant is
in custody or has been released pending trial. The clerk must then seal the
indictment, and no person may disclose the indictment’s existence except as
necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons.

Fed.R.Crim.P. 6(e)(4).

3. The government requests that the Indictment and Arrest Warrants be sealed

because it is concerned that the Defendants may attempt to flee, destroy

public record before the Defendants are arrested.
WHEREFORE, the government requests this Court to issue an order

sealing the Indictment and Arrest Warrants.

Respectfully submitted,
