Right of Access Court Rejects Ghislaine Maxwell's Constitutional Challenge to Epstein Files Transparency Act Eugene Volokh | 8.12.2026 11:01 AM From Judge Loretta Preska (S.D.N.Y.) in yesterday's Giuffre v. Maxwell: On March 18, 2016, the late Judge Sweet issued a protective order … barring Plaintiff Virginia Giuffre, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell, and their attorneys from sharing confidential discovery information produced as part of this case with any third party, including the Government. The Protective Order allowed the parties' attorneys, by designating a document as confidential, to represent that the document's contents implicated one or both of the parties' privacy interests and thus keep the document under seal unless the opposing party objected.
