Case 20-3061, Document 94, 10/08/2020, 2948481, Page13 of 23
deposition material is prematurely released, as the government so clearly desires,
Ms. Maxwell's ability to make the Martindell argument will be compromised.3
Third, Ms. Maxwell intends to move Judge Preska to stay future unsealing pending the outcome of the criminal case. But she cannot fairly make her case to Judge Preska unless Judge Preska knows
Judge Preska and the panel
of this Court deciding the unsealing appeal are the only relevant actors who don't
know the relevant facts.
The government's second contention—that Ms. Maxwell can already share
the "basic facts" with Judge Preska—misunderstands what Ms. Maxwell seeks to
share (under seal and not publicly) and what Judge Nathan's order permits (not
very much). According to the government, Ms. Maxwell is free to share the
identity of "Court-1" and "Court-2" and
the fact that the Government obtained an order from Court-1
permitting the Recipient to comply with a subpoena for materials
3 Surely due process does not contemplate a scenario in which Ms. Maxwell
is never permitted to challenge
But that's apparently the government's position. Ms. Maxwell
did not know of the proceeding before
so she couldn't argue against
Ms. Maxwell did not
know when
so she couldn't appeal.
And if Judge Preska's unsealing order goes into effect, the government will seek to
deny Ms. Maxwell the right to challenge its conduct before Judge Nathan.
