HONORABLE MARIANNE O. BATTANI



MOTION TO UNSEAL INDICTMENT

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA respectfully requests that the indictment in this

case be unsealed for the following reasons:

1. That the United States is no longer apprehensive that one or more persons may flee the jurisdiction if they become aware of the indictment which has been returned against them.

2. That the United States is no longer apprehensive that there is danger of harm to potential government witnesses if the defendant becomes aware of the indictment prior to his arrest.
