No. CR 07-0765 PJH

UNITED STATES' MOTION TO
REDACT PORTIONS OF THE
INDICTMENT, SIGN A CORRECTED
ARREST WARRANT AND
UNSEAL U.S. v. MENDEL BEKER, et al

The United States respectfully requests that the Court take the following actions:

1) Order the redaction of all bank account numbers in the Indictment that is made available to the public in the Court Clerk's Office. The United States further requests, however, that the original, unredacted, version of the Indictment remain available to law enforcement, Antitrust Division attorneys and other Division personnel and Court personnel when necessary to perform their official duties.

2) Sign a corrected arrest warrant for defendant Arie Prilik. The original warrant, signed by Magistrate Judge Elizabeth LaPorte on December 4, 2007, incorrectly stated that the Indictment voted out against Prilik on December 4, 2007, charged Prilik with money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a).

3) Unseal the criminal case United States of America v. Mendel Beker, a.k.a. Mikhail Lvovich, a.k.a., Michael Beker, Arie Prilik and Newcon International Ltd. (CR 07-0765 PJH).

The undersigned represent that unsealing these documents in this manner and making the requested modifications will compromise no law enforcement interest. Attached are a proposed Order, a copy of the Indictment with the requested redactions and the corrected arrest warrant for defendant Arie Prilik.

    Respectfully submitted,
