MOTION AND ORDER TO SEAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AND FILE
The United States of America, by and through its attorneys, Cohn F. Connolly, United States
Attorney for the District of Delaware and Christopher J. Burke, Assistant United States Attorney for
the District of Delaware, moves that the Criminal Complaint and File in this case be sealed until further n
notice, with the exception that authorization be given to the U.S. Attorney's Office to give copies of l
case-related documents to attorneys for the defendant. The United States submits that the Criminal
Complaint and File should be temporarily sealed because federal agents’ investigation of this case
remains ongoing, including investigation as to whether other individuals were involved along with the
defendant in possessing, distributing and/or receiving child pornography. The continued sealing ofthe
case will protect against any such individuals being aware of the defendant’s arrest and taking action
to cover up or destroy evidence as a result of that arrest.
