(a) Confidentiality of Presentence Reports.
(1) Confidential records of this Court maintained by the United States
Probation Office, including presentence investigation reports and probation
supervision records, may not be disclosed except upon written petition to the
Court establishing with particularity the need for specified information
contained in such records. No disclosure shall be made except upon court order.
This rule must not be construed to deny the subject of any presentence report
and/or the subject’s counsel the right to review such presentence report without
consent of the Court.
(2) Any copy of a presentence report that the Court makes available, or
has made available, to the United States Parole Commission or the Bureau of
Prisons, constitutes a confidential court document and must be presumed to
remain under the continuing control of the Court when it is in the temporary
custody of these agencies. Such copy must be loaned to the Parole Commission
and the Bureau of Prisons only for the purpose of enabling those agencies to
carry out their official functions, including parole release and supervision, and
must be returned to the Court after such use upon request.
(b) Objections to Presentence Investigation. In any case in which the
defendant has waived the time limitations under Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(e)(2), objections
to a presentence investigation report must be submitted in writing with the United
States Probation Department, and served on the opposing party at least 10 days
before the scheduled sentencing, unless otherwise provided by Court order.
