5. On August 21, 2020, the Government filed an opposition to
Maxwell’s motion to modify the Protective Order. (Dist. Ct. Docket Entry 46). In
its opposition, the Government explained the factual background regarding the
confidential criminal discovery materials at issue. In particular, the Government
explained that those discovery materials related to the Government’s requests to
modify certain protective orders in civil cases to permit compliance with grand
jury subpoenas (the “Subpoenas”). Those Subpoenas were issued to a certain
recipient (the “Recipient”) in connection with a grand jury investigation into
Jeffrey Epstein and his possible co-conspirators. In order to maintain the integrity
of the grand jury investigation and in accordance with both Federal Rule of
Criminal Procedure 6(e) and its standard practice, the Government did not notify
Maxwell or her counsel of the Subpoenas. In response to receiving the Subpoenas,
the Recipient advised the Government that it believed that certain existing
protective orders precluded full compliance. Accordingly, in or about February
2019, the Government applied ex parte and under seal to each relevant court to
Maxwell’s motion to modify the Protective Order. (Dist. Ct. Docket Entry 46). In
