AFFIDAVIT OF CERTIFICATION
PURSUANT TO LOCAL
CRIMINAL RULE 16.1
20 Cr. 330 (AJN)
I, Christian R. Everdell, an attorney duly admitted to practice in New York State and
before this Court, declare the following is true and correct under penalty of perjury pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1746:
1. I am a partner at Cohen & Gresser LLP, counsel for defendant Ghislaine Maxwell
in the above-captioned case.
2. I certify pursuant to Local Criminal Rule 16.1 that defense counsel has conferred
in good faith with Assistant U.S. Attorneys [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and
[REDACTED] regarding the government’s proposed protective order pursuant
to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16.
3. While the parties have been able to agree on most of the provisions of the
protective order, we have been unable to resolve two narrow areas of dispute.
a. First, the defense believes that potential government witnesses and their
counsel should be subject to the same restrictions as the defense concerning
appropriate use of the discovery materials—namely, if these individuals are
given access to discovery materials during trial preparation, they may not use

those materials for any purpose other than preparing for trial in the criminal
case, and may not post those materials on the Internet.
b. Second, the defense believes it should not be restricted from publicly
disclosing or disseminating the identity of any alleged victims or potential
witnesses referenced in the discovery materials who have already identified
themselves by speaking on the public record.
I hereby certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true. I am aware that if any of the
foregoing statements are willfully false, I am subject to punishment.
