Relationship Details

This document is page 106 of a legal filing (Document 204) in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on April 16, 2021. The text details the Government's argument that it did not circumvent the 'Martindell' legal standard when seeking evidence previously under protective orders, specifically referring to a subpoena issued to the law firm Boies Schiller. It notes that Judges McMahon and Netburn ruled that the Government had demonstrated 'extraordinary circumstances' justifying the release of testimony to the grand jury despite previous protective orders.

This document describes the Government's efforts to obtain materials from the law firm Boies Schiller via grand jury subpoenas for a criminal investigation (implied U.S. v. Maxwell). Due to the covert nature of the investigation, the defendant was not notified. Boies Schiller complied with non-protected materials but required court intervention (from Judges Sweet and Netburn) to modify protective orders in civil cases (including Jane Doe 43 v. Epstein) to release protected documents, which the Government argued for in sealed letters submitted around February 28, 2019.
