UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Case No. 0:16-mc-61262-JEM
In re: SUBPOENA TO
BRADLEY J. EDWARDS
Underlying Case:
VIRGINIA L. GIUFFRE,
Plaintiff
v.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL,
Defendant
No. 15-cv-07433-RWS (S.D.N.Y)
______________________________/
MOTION TO SEAL BRADLEY J. EDWARDS’
MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENA OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE,
FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER
Subpoena respondent Bradley J. Edwards, a non-party and attorney for the plaintiff in the
Giuffre v. Maxwell action, hereby files this motion for leave to file materials under seal for his
reply in support of his motion to quash.
In his reply to his motion for to quash subpoena, Edwards attached eight exhibits. Five of
these exhibits contain a document that is under seal in another court, specifically:
1. Exhibit 1 – Victims Response to Dershowitz Motion to Intervene, under seal in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida;
Case 1:17-mc-00025-RWS Document 15 Filed 07/07/16 Page 1 of 3
2. Exhibit 3 – Ms. Giuffre’s Motion for Leave to Exceed the Presumptive Ten
Deposition Limit, the salient portions of which (i.e., the portions relied upon in this case) are under
seal in the underlying case in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York;
3. Exhibit 4 – Excerpts from the Confidential Deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell, which
is under seal in the underlying case in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York;
4. Exhibit 5 - Excerpts from the Confidential Deposition of Rinaldo Rizzo, which is
under seal in the underlying case in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York; and
5. Exhibit 6 – The Opinion of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New
York (Sweet, J.) in Giuffre v. Maxwell, June 20, 2016, which is under seal in the underlying case
in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In addition, portions of the reply memorandum itself quote from or refer to the sealed
materials. Accordingly, a redacted version of the reply memorandum has been prepared for
inclusion in the public court file, which avoid disclosing the sealed information.
Because the indicated materials are under seal by order of other federal courts, Edwards
seeks leave to file these materials under seal here. Edwards has followed the procedures of the
Southern District of Florida for the handling of sealed materials.
Opposing counsel has simply filed similar materials in this case under seal without seeking
leave of court. Accordingly, Edwards believes that opposing counsel would have no objection to
his filing of similar materials under seal. Because Edwards believes that a motion is required for
a sealed filing, he proceeds by way of motion to this Court.

CONCLUSION
For the forgoing reasons, Edwards respectfully requests that this Court allow him to submit
materials under seal in his reply memorandum supporting his motion to quash.
