• noting that “[t]he rule of the case [i.e., Linn] is simply that a mere acquittal is insufficient to grant [expungement]”
• establishing a case-by-ease balancing approach whereby, “[i]f the dangers of unwarranted adverse consequences to the individual outweigh the public interest in maintenance of the records, then expunction is appropriate”
• expressing “approv[al] [of] the case-by-case approach” of our Linn decision to assessing whether the defendant’s circumstances justify expungement relief, but noting that “[s]uch an approach behooves the district court to develop a complete factual record”
• “The Government should be required to state . . . why it is necessary to maintain this 17-year-old rap sheet.”
