and Trace Devices, and Mobile Tracking Device Warrants.

At least sixty (60) days before the expiration of the sealing order, the clerk must notify the Criminal Chief at the Office of the United States Attorney, or his or her designee, of the date when the documents will be unsealed. The government may file a motion to extend the sealing order, and the motion may be filed ex parte.
