Email correspondence between David Oscar Markus, an attorney representing media organizations seeking access to court documents, and federal prosecutors regarding the sealing of exhibits in the U.S. v. Ghislaine Maxwell criminal case in April 2021.
This document contains a series of email exchanges from April 2021 between attorney David Oscar Markus of Markus/Moss law firm and federal prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. The correspondence concerns procedural matters about filing sealed versus unredacted documents in the Ghislaine Maxwell criminal case. Markus advocates for filing unredacted versions of multiple pleadings, arguing 'the court should have them all,' while prosecutors seek consent to file certain exhibits under seal. The emails also discuss requests to expedite an appeal and timeline negotiations for government responses.

As an initial matter, the majority of the docket entries you've referenced do not appear to be redacted. In any event, you may obtain these materials from defense counsel — I've copied them here. This case is already governed by a protective order (ECF No. 36), which is binding on all counsel.
