*1 Case No. 1:21-sw-00028-MEH Document 10 filed 07/21/21 USDC Colorado pg 1
of 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Case No. 21-sw-00028-MEH
IN THE MATTER OF THE SEARCH OF
[Redacted] of KLETE DERIK KELLER, if he
is present at the time of the search warrant execution,
______________________________________________________________________
ORDER ______________________________________________________________________
This matter comes before the Court on the United States’ Motion to Unrestrict with
Appropriate Redactions. ECF 9.
Initially, the United States had requested (ECF 3) and the Court had granted (ECF
4) Level 3 restriction status of this case and its filings. Later, the Court permitted
disclosure of documents to defense counsel. ECF 8. The United States now says that the
Level 3 restriction no longer is necessary, and it wishes to unrestrict the docket sheet and
documents. It also intends to provide copies to Los Angeles Times Communications LLC,
which initiated Civil Action No. 21-cv-01508-DDD to obtain them.
However, the United States seeks to lift the restriction subject to substantial
redactions. Attached to its Motion as Exhibit A are its redactions to both the documents
themselves as well as to the case caption and the docket sheet entries. The United States
does not explain how the Clerk of Court can make such wide-ranging redactions as a
technical matter, either to redact the docket sheet or to replace already docketed filings
with the proposed redacted versions.
Case No. 1:21-sw-00028-MEH Document 10 filed 07/21/21 USDC Colorado pg 2
of 2 Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Motion [filed July 20, 2021; ECF 9] is
DENIED in part and GRANTED in part. The request to unrestrict the case and the already
filed documents is denied. However, the Motion is granted to the extent that the Clerk of
Court shall unrestrict the Motion itself (ECF 9) and its attachments (ECF 9-1 and 9-2) and
make them publicly accessible. The Clerk of Court also shall docket the instant Order on
the public docket without any access restrictions.
Entered this 21st day of July, 2021, at Denver, Colorado.
