DECLARATION OF RANEE A. KATZENSTEIN

T, RANEE A. KATZENSTEIN, declare as follows:
Ls I am an Assistant United States Attorney in the United
States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. I

represent the government in the prosecution of United States v.

Kerwin Aldric Jordan, No. 25-CR- , the indictment in which is being

presented to a federal grand jury in the Central District of
California on October 1, 2025.

2 Defendant Jordan has not been taken into custody on the
charges contained in the indictment and has not been informed that he
is being named as a defendant in the indictment to be presented to
the grand jury on October 1, 2025. The likelihood of apprehending
defendant Jordan might be jeopardized if the indictment in this case
were made publicly available before defendant Jordan is taken into
custody on the indictment.

Bs Accordingly, the government requests that the indictment
and sealed documents in this case (except the arrest warrants) be
sealed and remain so until the defendant is taken into custody on the
charges contained in the indictment and the government files a
“Report Commencing Criminal Action” in this matter.

4. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the
United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct and
that this declaration is executed at Los Angeles, California, on

September 29, 2025. f ae

L™~
RANH: A. KATZENSTEIN
