Government Letter · Request for Limited Unsealing of Pro Se § 853(n) Petitions
This two-page letter, dated March 17, 2026 from the Assistant U.S. Attorneys assigned to United States v. Miles Guo, et al., S3 23 Cr. 118 (AT), asks Judge Analisa Torres for a limited unsealing of certain sealed third-party petitions submitted by individual pro se claimants under 21 U.S.C. § 853(n).
Requested Relief
The government respectfully requests an order:
- Authorizing the Clerk's Office to provide the government with copies of all sealed purported petitions submitted to the Court pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) by individual pro se claimants;
- Leaving the broader sealing of those petitions on the public docket undisturbed at this time. The government does not seek to file the petitions on the public docket at this stage.
Basis for the Request
Based on communications between the government and the Clerk's Office, the government has learned that the Clerk's Office is in possession of several sealed purported petitions in this matter. The government wishes to:
- Review the sealed petitions to determine whether any are copies of petitions that have already been served on the government in other ways;
- Ensure that the petitions are adjudicated in the ancillary forfeiture proceedings.
The Clerk's Office has informed the government that an order from the Court is required before the Clerk's Office may share the sealed petitions with the government.
Closing
The government accordingly asks the Court to enter the requested limited unsealing order so that the Clerk's Office may share the petitions with the government for internal review.
