- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01299_de10 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER granting 6 Motion to Seal entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 10/20/2016. Presentence investigation reports are confidential documents created by the United States Probation Office in order to assist a judge in crafting appropriate sentences. United States Dep't of Justice v. Julian, 486 U.S. 1, 12 (1988). These reports contain highly sensitive and personal information about defendants. As such, courts very rarely allow third parties to access them. As several courts have recognized, allowing the disclosure of presentence investigation reports has a chilling effect on the willingness of a defendant and other contributing sources to supply useful information to the probation officer compiling the report. E.g., Julian, 486 U.S. at 12. Given 1) the nature of the document sought to be sealed and 2) that no party has presented the Court with a compelling, particularized need for access to the report, see United States v. Corbitt (879 F.2d 224, 228-40 (7th Cir. 1982)), the Court hereby grants the motion to seal presentence report. (TW, ilcd) (Copy conventionally mailed to pro se plaintiff at address on NEF.) Modified on 10/21/2016 to correct wording of event (SL, ilcd). (Entered: 10/20/2016)" @default.
