Ever since the Ted Stevens case, this order has been SOP for Judge Sullivan.
However, what is significant in this case is that shortly after Sullivan’s order, Mueller filed a motion to delay sentencing of Flynn.
What this indicates to me is that at some point in time, Mueller became aware of the illegal use of the dossier for getting the FISC warrant.
The question is eventually going to be: At what point in time DID Mueller become aware of it? When one of his prosecutors told him shortly after they got Judge Sullivan’s order, or at some point in time before that?
If it can be proven he knew before the order, then Mueller is in a whole world of hurt.

That's not exactly true. Sullivan's order was dated 12/12/2017. The motion to delay the sentencing was filed within the last 3-4 weeks.
What precipitated the motion to delay the sentencing was the release of the HPSCI/Nunes memo (the motion was filed within 48 hours of that release), and the references to FISA warrant abuse and other malfeasance in the FBI.
