    DEFENDANT LOWELL RAY BARRONS MOTION FOR ORDER

    REQUIRING STATE FILINGS UNDER SEAL

    Defendant Lowell Ray Barron respectfully moves for an order that the State must

    not file any document that contains or includes any allegation about Defendants or any

    evidence pertaining to Defendants in any way, unless such filing is under seal.

    This motion pertains, for instance, to any response the State may file, to Barrons

    request for notice of any evidence the State might seek to admit under Ala. R. Evid.

    404(b). This motion pertains also to Barrons discovery requests. This motion pertains,

    even beyond that, to any document that the State may file in this Court that includes any

    allegation about Defendants (with the exception of any document that does nothing more,

    in this respect, than quoting the indictment), or any filing by the State that contains any

    statement of expected testimony, or any filing by the State that otherwise discusses any

    evidence pertaining to Defendants.

    Granting this motion would not cause any cognizable harm to the State in any

    respect. Granting this motion would not stop the State from filing any document, but

    would only ensure that such filings are under seal so that they do not undermine the

    likelihood of a fair trial. If any party then seeks to unseal any sealed filing, the Court

    would of course be able to consider any such request.
