Summary
This document is a letter motion from the U.S. Department of Justice to Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman requesting a stay of the civil case 'Jane Doe v. Darren K. Indyke' pending the outcome of the criminal prosecution regarding Ghislaine Maxwell. The Government argues that proceeding with civil discovery would prejudice the criminal trial by exposing witnesses, risking harassment, and allowing Maxwell to circumvent criminal discovery limitations. The letter references the June 2020 indictment of Maxwell for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse scheme.
