UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
DEVON CHRISTOPHER WENGER,
Defendant.
Case Nos. 23-cr-00269-JSW-3
23-cr-00268-JSW-2
ORDER TAKING NO ACTION ON
NOTICE OF PROTECTIVE ORDER
VIOLATIONS AND FILING COUNSEL
DECLARATIONS EX PARTE AND
UNDER SEAL
Re: Dkt. No. 620 (23-cr-269-3)
Dkt. No. 239 (23-cr-268-2)
On October 22, 2025, the United States filed notices raising allegations that the Protective
Orders in these cases had been violated. The Court Ordered current and prior counsel to file
declarations addressing the notices. Two of Defendant’s former counsel, Candice L. Fields and
Nicole Lopes Castronovo, submitted declarations to the Court but did not formally file them.
Counsel also moved to file those declarations ex parte and under seal. The Court GRANTS those
motions.
The Court has carefully considered all materials submitted by the parties. There is
insufficient evidence to conclude that Defendant or his counsel violated the terms of the Protective
Order. Therefore, the Court takes no action on the notices.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 26, 2026
