ORDER 
 
GÓMEZ, J. 
 
On October 15, 2019, the Court held a telephonic status 
conference with the parties in this matter and the Coordinating 
Discovery Attorney (“CDA”). At that conference, the Court 
addressed efforts to facilitate the Defendants’ access to 
discovery at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Guaynabo, P.R. 
(“MDC Guaynabo”). 
 
On October 16, 2019, the United States filed a notice 
regarding the accessibility of the discovery in this matter at 
MDC Guaynabo. In that notice, the United States confirmed that 
Defendants have access to the discovery room at MDC Guaynabo 
seven days a week, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 
8:30 p.m., excluding holidays and when unit 4C has social 
visits.  
 
Additionally, the United States informed the parties and 
the Court that MDC Guaynabo would accept 128 GB DOJ wallet flash 
drives containing discovery. The United States indicated that it 
would be acceptable for such drives to be produced directly by 
the CDA if provided to the CDA by the United States. The United 
States also indicated that, upon order of the Court, MDC 
Guaynabo would accept an external flash drive larger than 128 GB 
provided by the CDA.

On October 24, 2019, the Defendants jointly requested the 
Court to issue an order requiring the United States, through its 
component MDC Guaynabo, to accept such external flash drives 
from the CDA and to make those drives available to the 
Defendants for review.  
 
The premises considered, it is hereby 
 
ORDERED that the Defendants’ motion, ECF No. 545, is 
GRANTED; it is further 
 
ORDERED that the United States, through its component MDC 
Guaynabo, shall accept USB flash drives containing global 
discovery provided by the CDA; and it is further 
 
ORDERED that the United States, through its component MDC 
Guaynabo, shall make such flash drives available for review by 
the Defendants in the discovery room.
