Two months later, on October 28, the lawyer called Rodriguez,
who insisted once more on being paid for the information. The
lawyer told him that an associate would be in touch.
What the lawyer knew and Rodriguez did not know was that
the associate in question was an undercover employee (UCE) of
the FBI. A few days later, on November 2, the UCE calls Rodri-
guez and sets up a meeting, which takes place the following day.

book and several sheets of legal pad paper containing handwrit-
ten notes," Special Agent Pryor would say in her statement. She
continues:
Rodriguez explained that he had taken the bound book from
his former employer's residence while employed there in
2004 to 2005 and that the book had been created by persons
working for his former employer. Rodriguez discussed in

those rights. Rodriguez admitted that he had the documents
and book in his possession and had never turned them over
