Summary
This legal document, part of a court filing from March 2, 2020, outlines a procedural history involving civil protective orders in a criminal case. In 2019, the Government successfully modified a protective order in one court (Court-1) to obtain materials from a 'Recipient' for a grand jury, while another court (Court-2) denied a similar request. The current court is now permitting the Defendant, who learned of this through discovery, to provide this sealed information to Court-1 and Court-2 so those courts can determine whether to unseal related materials.

3. In February 2019, the Government, ex parte and under seal, sought modification of those civil protective orders so as to permit compliance with the criminal grand jury subpoenas;
