and Trace Devices, and Mobile Tracking Device Warrants.
Unless otherwise ordered by the court, any search warrant, order on pen
register, order on trap and trace device or mobile tracking device warrant ordered
sealed in a criminal matter, will be unsealed one (1) year after the file date of the
search warrant or the expiration date of the pen/trap order or tracking warrant. At
least sixty (60) days before the expiration of the sealing order, the clerk must notify
the Criminal Chief at the Office of the United States Attorney, or his or her
designee, of the date when the documents will be unsealed. The government may
file a motion to extend the sealing order, and the motion may be filed ex parte.
Documents unsealed under this rule may be destroyed, when eligible, under the
Records Disposition Schedule in the Guide to Judiciary Policy.
