Contents of Pretrial Services Report. As permitted in Guide Vol. 8A, Chapter 1,

whenever possible, be presented to the magistrate judge and made available to defense counsel

attorney for the government may, however, retain the criminal history attachment of the pretrial
services report, and permit staff to review it for purposes of guidelines calculations, but must not
disclose it to any other person without an order of the court.
It is SO ORDERED this 28th day of November 2017.
