Attorneys for AT&T have asked a federal judge to order a San Francisco civil liberties group to return ``highly 
confidential'' documents that allegedly show that the telecommunications giant provided detailed records of millions of 
its customers to a government intelligence agency.

In documents filed on Monday, AT&T's attorneys also asked Judge Vaughn Walker to order the Electronic Frontier 
Foundation to refrain from referencing the documents in its lawsuit.

The EFF filed a lawsuit against AT&T in January alleging that AT&T had collaborated with the National Security Agency 
in a ``massive and illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans' communications.''

Last week, the group filed additional documents to the federal court in San Francisco totaling more than 140 pages. The 
documents purportedly provide evidence of the technology that AT&T had used to conduct surveillance for the NSA.

The documents, which included a sworn declaration from retired AT&T technician Mark Klein and confidential company 
documents, were voluntarily placed under seal by the group pending a decision by the judge to make them public.
