AO 103: Order Requiring Assistance in Executing a Tracking Warrant (Under Seal)
AO 103, Order Requiring Assistance in Executing a Tracking Warrant (Under Seal), is an order a judge of a United States District Court signs. It is addressed to the recipient named in its To line and directs that recipient to provide facilities or other assistance in executing the tracking warrant issued in the case. The U.S. Courts list it under Law Enforcement, Grand Jury, and Prosecution Forms. The PDF prints the edition (01/09), and the U.S. Courts page lists it as effective on January 1, 2009.
The order says an application has been made by a federal law enforcement officer or an attorney for the government, and that the court finds the assistance to be necessary. It names the government agency and agents to be assisted and the kind of assistance, says reasonable expenses may be compensated, and states that the order is sealed. It is a court order, not a form members of the public file.
