August 4, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 154 ORDER: Accordingly, by posting this order both in Giuffre v. Maxwell, No. 15 Civ. 7433, and Giuffre v. Dershowitz, No. 19 Civ. 3377, the Court invites the Does to comment on the proposed disclosure. Any Doe who wishes to be heard on the disclosure proposed by counsel in Giuffre v. Dershowitz shall inform the Court of his/her views no later than August 18, 2020. Because those comments may discuss information that is currently under seal in Giuffre v. Maxwell, they will be submitted directly to the Court so that the Court can review them in camera. Comments may be sent to the Court's email address at PreskaNYSDChambers@nysd.uscourts.gov. The Court specifically requests comment from counsel for John Doe who has appeared in Maxwell. The Court will, at the least, inform the parties generally of the nature of any comments received. Relatedly, the parties request that the Court clarify that deposition transcripts and other documents not designated confidential on their face (excerpts of some of which were submitted under seal as part of the (now unsealed) summary judgment record in Maxwell, see infra n. 1) are not subject to the Maxwell Protective Order (dkt. no. 62 in 15 Civ. 7433) and thus may be freely disclosed and produced to Defendant without any restrictions on their use or disclosure. The Court agrees that materials not designated confidential are not covered by the Maxwell Protective Order but disagrees that there is necessarily no restriction on their disclosure. Specifically, certain materials may both (1) lack confidentiality designations made pursuant to the Protective Order and (2) be filed under seal in the Maxwell litigation. To the extent that the materials mention non-parties to the Maxwell action and remain under seal, such materials should not be disclosed before the non-parties mentioned are given notice and an opportunity to comment on the disclosure. (See supra at 2.) However, where such materials have already been unsealed--either by this Court or by the Court of Appeals--they may be freely disclosed. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Loretta A.
