UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

IN RE APPLICATION OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR
AN ORDER PURSUANT TO
20 U.S.C. § 1232g(b)(1)(J)(i) and
28 U.S.C. § 1651

20 MAG 01560
Filed Under Seal

ORDER

This matter having come before the Court pursuant to an application under Title 20,
United States Code, Section 1232g(b)(1)(J)(i), and Title 28, United States Code, Section 1651
which application requests the issuance of an order directing Interlochen Center for the Arts
(“Interlochen”) and its employees, located at 4000 Highway M-137 Interlochen, MI 49643, and
Interlochen employees, not to notify any other person of the existence of the attached subpoena
seeking records, the Court finds that the applicant has offered reasonable grounds to believe that
such disclosure will result in the intimidation of potential witnesses, or the destruction of or
tampering with evidence, and will seriously jeopardize the investigation.

IT APPEARING that the information sought in the attached subpoena is directed at
establishing the illegal activity under investigation and identifying the individuals responsible for
such activity, there is reason to believe that disclosure of the scope and direction of the inquiry
will result in the intimidation of potential witnesses, destruction of or tampering with evidence,
and will seriously jeopardize the investigation.

IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to Title 20, United States Code, Section 1232g(b)(1)(J)(i),
and Title 28, United States Code, Section 1651, Interlochen and its employees shall not disclose
the existence of the attached subpoena to any other person (except as necessary to carry out the
subpoena) for a period of 180 days from the date of this Order.

EFTA00026851

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Order and the Application upon which it was
granted are to be filed under seal until otherwise ordered by the Court, except that the
Government may without further order provide copies of the Application and Order as need be to
personnel assisting the Government in the investigation and prosecution of this matter, and
disclose these materials as necessary to comply with discovery and disclosure obligations in any
prosecutions related to this matter.

Re: Grand Jury Subpoena

Please be advised that the accompanying grand jury subpoena has been issued in
connection with an official criminal investigation of a suspected felony being conducted by a
federal grand jury. Pursuant to the accompanying non-disclosure order issued under 20
U.S.C. § 1232g(b)(1)(J)(i) and 28 U.S.C. § 1651, you are prohibited from notifying any person
(except as necessary to carry out the subpoena) of the existence of this subpoena for a period
of 180 days from the date of the order. If you ever plan to notify any person of the existence
of this subpoena, even after the 180-day period, please advise me before you do so, in case
the investigation remains ongoing and the order needs to be renewed.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Very truly yours,
