RICHARD M. BERMAN, United States District Judge:
WHEREAS the Government intends to produce to JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, certain documents and materials that (i) affect the privacy and confidentiality of individuals, (ii) would impede, if prematurely disclosed, the Government's ongoing investigation of uncharged individuals; (iii) would risk prejudicial pretrial publicity if publicly disseminated, and (iv) is not authorized to be disclosed to the public or disclosed beyond that which is necessary for the defense of this action, and other materials pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16 ("Rule 16") and pursuant to any other disclosure obligations (collectively, the "Discovery"), which contain sensitive, confidential, or personal identifying information;
WHEREAS, the Government seeks to protect sensitive, confidential, or personal identifying information contained in the materials it produces consistent with Rule 16 or other disclosure obligations;
EFTA00009658
e) May be shown to, but not disseminated to or provided copies of to, prospective witnesses and their counsel (collectively, "Potential Witnesses"), to the extent deemed necessary by defense counsel, for trial preparation.
2. To the extent the Discovery is disclosed to Defense Staff, Defense Experts/Advisors, Other Authorized Persons, or Potential Witnesses, Defense Counsel shall instruct such individual(s) of the terms of this Order and that such individual(s) are bound by this Order.

EFTA00009659
other identifying designation, are deemed "Confidential Information."
7. Confidential Information may contain personal identification information of specific individuals who are not parties to this action, and other confidential information; as well as information that identifies, or could lead to the identification of, witnesses in this matter. The Government's designation of material as Confidential Information will be controlling absent contrary order of the Court.
8. Confidential Information disclosed to the defendant, or Defense Counsel, respectively, during the course of proceedings in this action:
a) Shall be used by the defendant or his counsel only for purposes of the defense of this action;
b) Shall be maintained in a safe and secure manner solely by Defense Counsel;

Prior to disclosure of such information to Designated Persons, any such Designated Person shall agree to be subject to the terms of this Order by signing a copy hereof and stating that they "Agree to be bound by the terms herein," and providing such copy to the defendant's counsel. However, the defendant and his or her respective counsel need not obtain signatures from any member of the defense team (i.e., attorneys, experts, consultants, paralegals, investigators, support personnel, and secretarial staff involved in the representation of the defendants in this case), all of whom are nonetheless bound by this Protective Order.
12. Except for Discovery that has been made part of the record of this case, Defense Counsel shall return to the Government or securely destroy or delete all Discovery,
EFTA00009661
13. The foregoing provisions shall remain in effect unless and until either (a) the Government and Defense Counsel mutually agree otherwise, or (b) this Order is modified by further order of the Court.
