20-3061_Documents.pdf

This document is the complete appellate record for case 20-3061, an interlocutory appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell against the United States. Maxwell appealed a District Court order denying her motion to modify a protective order, seeking permission to share confidential criminal discovery materials under seal with the judge in a related civil case (Giuffre v. Maxwell) to challenge the government's acquisition of evidence. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, ruling that the protective order decision was not a final judgment or an appealable collateral order, and denied Maxwell's motion to consolidate the criminal appeal with the civil appeal.
