Local Criminal Rule 2.3
                REVIEW OF SEALED AFFIDAVITS AND SEARCH WARRANTS


   (a)  Review.  The court may review orders sealing search warrants and/or
affidavits in support thereof at any time upon the request of the prosecuting
attorney or upon motion of the court.

   (b)  Notice to and Response from Prosecuting Attorney.  In each case in which
the court reviews a previously entered order sealing a search warrant and/or
affidavit in support thereof, the prosecuting attorney will be provided at
least 14 days prior written notice of such review.  Prior to such review the
prosecuting attorney may submit to the court a memorandum generally setting
forth the state's position with regard to unsealing all portions of or none of
the sealed affidavit and/or search warrant.

   (c)  Filing of Responsive Memoranda.  The original of any memorandum submitted
pursuant to subsection (b) will be filed, unsealed, with the order sealing the
affidavit and/or search warrant, and the prosecuting attorney will provide a
bench copy to the court.  The court will consider any requests by the state to
seal all or portions of any affidavits or declarations filed in support of the
state's memorandum, and, if granted, enter an appropriate order.

   (d)  Order on Review.  After considering the state's position and reviewing in
camera the order and the affidavit and/or search warrant sealed pursuant thereto, the
court will enter an order that (a) the affidavit and/or search warrant continue
to be sealed as previously ordered, (b) designated portions of the affidavit
and/or search warrant continue to be sealed and that the remainder thereof be
unsealed, or (c) the affidavit and/or search warrant be unsealed.
