Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2703 and 2705 provide for the disclosure or non-disclosure of Motions and Orders filed pursuant to Section 2703. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703(c)(3), the United States is not required to disclose the existence of this Motion and the Court's Order to the consumer. 2. Title 18, United States Code, Section 2705(b) provides that a Court can order non-disclosure by the service provider when such disclosure may result in (1) endangering the life or physical safety of an individual, (2) flight from prosecution, (3) destruction of or tampering with evidence; (4) intimidation of potential witnesses; or (5) otherwise seriously jeopardize an investigation or unduly delay a trial. 3. As set forth in the Motion, there is probable cause to believe that the disclosure of the Motion and Order, as well as Cingular Wireless's compliance with the Order would likely result in tampering with or destruction of evidence or flight from prosecution.
