Re:
In re Order Requiring Apple Inc. to
Assist in the Execution of a Search Warrant
Docket Nos. 15-MC-1902, 14-CR-387
Dear Judge Brodie:
The government respectfully submits this letter to update the Court and the
parties. Yesterday evening, an individual provided the passcode to the iPhone at issue in this
case. Late last night, the government used that passcode by hand and gained access to the
iPhone. Accordingly, the government no longer needs Apple’s assistance to unlock the
iPhone, and withdraws its application.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT L. CAPERS
United States Attorney
