Summary
This document is a Court Order from the Southern District of Florida, dated April 15, 2015, denying Jeffrey Epstein's motion for a supplemental protective order. Epstein sought to keep correspondence between his lawyers and the US Government regarding his non-prosecution agreement sealed from the public. Judge Kenneth Marra ruled that the public interest in determining if the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) was violated outweighs Epstein's desire for confidentiality, stating that plea negotiations are not privileged.
