On this date, the Court considered the United States’ Administrative Motion to File
Loterstein Declaration Under Seal. The Court finds that the Loterstein Declaration discloses
“matters occurring before a grand jury,” which, if made public at this time, would reveal the
nature and scope, and compromise the integrity and secrecy of, the grand jury investigations.
