Weinberg and an Assistant United States Attorney for the SDNY regarding a Protective Order for the Jeffrey Epstein case (indicated by attachment name '_JE_').

Subject: RE: Protective Order
Hi [Redacted]
Some points for discussion or consideration re draft Protective Order:
Pg 2, line 2 - we consent to the entry of the Order but not necessarily all of the averments made by the Government in support of the Order
Pg 3 - par 2 - we need to distinguish between providing discovery electronically to others on the defense team (encrypt or password protected) and providing hard copies of discovery for the purpose of review by counsel or by counsel or others on defense team with the defendant at MCC
Pg 3 - par 3 -5 - these obligations should extend to Govt as well as defense
Pg 3 - par 4 - are you precluding public discussion of identity of witnesses already known to the defense i.e. known independent of the discovery
Pg 3/4 - par 5 - are you asking for redacted public filings or the entire filing being filed under seal - we could redact any quoting of the discovery or attaching of the discovery if that suffices
Pg 4-5 par 7 - there is no need for allegations of potential obstruction or harm to witnesses in this case - I would request that such language be redacted as unnecessary if we are not contesting the clause. Please advise if the Govt intends to mark all 302s as "confidential" or just the identifying info (names, addresses, etc).
Par 12 - defense should be allowed to retain discovery through the filing date of a 2255
Reid, Mike may have additional questions, points.
Available after 1 to discuss.
Thanks
Marty
