APPLICATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER TO FILE UNDER SEAL
Sentencing Date: September 21, 2012
UNDER SEAL
Christopher Butler, by and through his counsel William E. Gagen, Jr., hereby moves this Court for an order sealing the application for sealing order, the sealing order, Defendant's Sentencing Memorandum, and all documents related to the Sentencing Memorandum in the above-referenced action. The Sentencing Memorandum relates to an ongoing investigation and the named defendant is in the Dublin Federal Detention Facility. Accordingly, disclosure of these documents may jeopardize Defendant's safety
This application is made on grounds that sentencing documents contain constitutionally-protected information. The individual's right to privacy in such information overrides the public's qualified right of access.
Assistant United States Attorney Hartley West has been contacted and she too has petitioned the Court for an Order to file under seal the Government's Sentencing Memorandum.
