A letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense counsel, Jeffrey Pagliuca, denying a request to use criminal discovery materials in a separate civil lawsuit. The Government cites a Protective Order issued by Judge Alison J. Nathan which restricts the use of such materials solely to the defense of the criminal case to protect an ongoing investigation. The letter suggests counsel use FOIA or Touhy requests if seeking records for civil litigation purposes.
