Relationship Details

This legal document, dated August 21, 2020, is a submission from the Acting United States Attorney and Assistant United States Attorneys to Honorable Alison J. Nathan. It argues against the defendant's application to use criminal discovery materials in civil cases, asserting that the application lacks legal justification, attempts to circumvent a protective order, and is irrelevant to the civil litigation. The document suggests the defendant's intent is to falsely accuse the Government and another party.

This legal document, part of a court filing, outlines a procedural history concerning sealed information from civil matters. The Government successfully modified a protective order in one court (Court-1) but not another (Court-2) to obtain materials for a grand jury investigation, which were then turned over by a 'Recipient'. The current court is now permitting the Defendant, who learned of this through discovery, to provide the sealed information back to Court-1 and Court-2 for their own determination of relevance.

This legal document, part of a court filing from March 2, 2020, outlines a procedural history involving civil protective orders in a criminal case. In 2019, the Government successfully modified a protective order in one court (Court-1) to obtain materials from a 'Recipient' for a grand jury, while another court (Court-2) denied a similar request. The current court is now permitting the Defendant, who learned of this through discovery, to provide this sealed information to Court-1 and Court-2 so those courts can determine whether to unseal related materials.

This legal document, filed on August 2, 2020, details a procedural history where the U.S. Government, in February 2019, successfully modified a civil protective order in one court (Court-1) to obtain materials for a criminal grand jury investigation. The defendant in the criminal case later learned of this through discovery. The current court is now permitting the defendant to provide information under seal to the relevant courts (Court-1 and Court-2) so they can make their own determinations about the matter.

This document is page 3 of a court order filed on September 2, 2020, in Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). The Court denies the Defendant's request to modify a protective order to disclose documents to judicial officers in other civil cases, citing a lack of good cause and noting that the relevant facts are already public. The text reveals that the Government previously issued grand jury subpoenas to an entity referred to as 'Recipient' regarding an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators.
