Maxwell's counsel requests Reconsideration of the Court’s July 23 RulingGiuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell, No.15 Civ. 7433 (LAP)
Dear Judge Preska:
As counsel for Ms. Maxwell we write to request that the Court vindicate its Protective Order and punish its violation. Ms. Maxwell’s two deposition transcripts were designated “Confidential” and subject to the protection of the Protective Order. Both transcripts ended up in the hands of the government, which used them to bring an indictment against Ms.Maxwell, charging her with, among other things, perjury in her deposition testimony. This is a serious violation of the Protective Order, and merits the commencement of contempt proceedings.We also write to seek reconsideration of the Court’s July 23, 2020 ruling concluding that the transcriptsof Ms. Maxwell’s April 2016 deposition and Doe 1’s deposition should be unsealed in their entirety (with the exception of non-party names). We recognize that a reconsideration motion is an extraordinary request, but we suggest it is appropriate under the circumstances. There are new facts since Ms. Maxwell lodged her objections to the unsealing of the transcript of her deposition, and there is a need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injusticerelating to the unsealing of the transcript.
