LR Cr P 16.09. Protective and Modifying Orders.

Upon a sufficient showing, the Court may at any time order that discovery, inspection or disclosure be denied, restricted or deferred, or make such other order as is appropriate. Upon motion by a party, the Court may permit the party to make the showing, in whole or in part, in the form of a written statement to be inspected by the Court alone. Upon written request, either party may be entitled to an evidentiary hearing on this issue. If the Court enters an order granting relief following an ex parte showing, the entire text of the party's statement shall be sealed and preserved in the records of the Court to be made available to the appellate court in the event of an appeal.
