Re: 13-4625, In re: Under Seal
Dear Ms. Connor:
The Office of the Clerk requested the United States’ position on whether the courtroom
needed to be sealed during all or a portion of the presentation of oral argument in the abovereferenced matter. It is the position of the United States that the courtroom need not be sealed
during presentation of the oral argument. Because the District Court has unsealed nearly the
entire record below, and the information that remains sealed is both known to the Parties and
irrelevant to the issues before the Court, the United States believes there will be no need for
either Party to present sealed information at oral argument.

Sincerely,
Dana J. Boente
Acting United States Attorney
