AZRACK, United States District Judge:
On April 1, 2025, the Government filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against Defendant Vladimir Antonio Arevalo-Chavez (“Defendant”) under seal. (ECF No. 155.) The
1 *2 Case 2:22-cr-00429-JMA-AYS Document 176 Filed 05/22/25 Page 2 of 2 PageID #:
981 Government and Defendant subsequently filed additional submissions under seal concerning the
motion to dismiss. On April 14, 2025, the Court directed the Government and Defendant to show
cause, in writing, on April 15, 2025: “(1) why the Court should not unseal ECF Nos. 155, 156,
157, 158, 159, and 160 and the Court’s April 3, 2025 Order, April 4, 2025 Order, and April 11,
2025 Order; and (2) why any future filings concerning this motion should not be filed on the
publicly available docket and why any future proceedings in court concerning this motion should
not be held in open court.” The parties filed responses to the Court’s order to show cause on April
15, 2025. The Government asserted that the motion to dismiss and all related filings should remain
under seal, while Defendant asserted that there was “no compelling argument for maintaining these
documents under seal,” (ECF No. 166). Having considered the parties’ responses and all relevant
filings, the Court has determined that the following filings should no longer be sealed and directs
the Clerk of Court to unseal ECF Nos. 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 165, 166, 167, and 171 as
well as the Court’s April 3, 2025 Order, April 4, 2025 Order, April 11, 2025 Order regarding ECF
No. 158, April 14, 2024 Order, May 1, 2025 Order, and May 15, 2025 Order.
The Court will issue a separate Memorandum and Order that explains the Court’s decision concerning unsealing.
In a separate sealed order that will be docketed today, the Court is also ordering the Government to show cause why ECF Nos. 170, 173, 174, and 175 should not be unsealed.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 22, 2025
