Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the need for sealing a co-defendant's subpoena applications end once the co-defendant changes his plea and testifies for the Government at trial?

Do the First and Fifth Amendments require disclosure of a co-defendant's subpoena applications once judgment against the co-defendant has entered, where the co-defendant testified at trial in a manner apparently inconsistent with any trial defense?
