Summary

This legal document, filed on July 28, 2020, is the U.S. Government's response to a defendant's motion in a criminal case. The Government argues against the defendant's attempt to restrict its use of gathered materials and to impose restrictions on third parties, calling the request unprecedented and without legal basis. The filing, submitted by Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss to Judge Alison J. Nathan, urges the court to deny the defendant's motion and implement the Government's own proposed protective order.

of such materials provided by the defendant to the Government. But there is no basis to add additional restrictions upon the Government’s use of materials gathered by the Government itself.

The defendant’s only counter-argument, as noted—that this Court should put third parties “on equal footing with the defense”—is both unlikely to be relevant given the Government’s standard practice, as described above, and, the Government submits, an irrelevant consideration in the context of a criminal protective order. Indeed, the Government respectfully submits that neither it nor this Court is well-positioned to, or should, become the arbiter of what is appropriate or permissible in civil cases.

In sum, the defendant’s attempt to restrict the Government and to restrict third parties in this way appears to be unprecedented, and is without legal basis, and should be denied.

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth above, the Court should enter the Government’s proposed protective order, which is enclosed, and deny the defendant’s motion.

Respectfully submitted,

AUDREY STRAUSS
Acting United States Attorney
