Summary
This document is page 2 of a legal filing by the Government to Judge Alison J. Nathan, dated August 21, 2020, in the criminal case against a defendant (implied Ghislaine Maxwell, Case 1:20-cr-00330). The Government opposes the defendant's request to use criminal discovery materials—specifically regarding grand jury subpoenas issued to an unnamed 'Recipient' during the Epstein investigation—in separate civil litigation. The Government argues this violates the protective order which restricts discovery material solely for the defense of the criminal action.
