(See Def.'s Reply in Further Supp. of Mot. for Protective Order, 15-cv-7433, Dkt. No. 49 at 5.) This might seem ironic, since Maxwell argued, in support of her motion for entry of a protective order, that prosecution of anyone based on Giuffre's allegations was unlikely.

All the list of exceptions at subparagraphs 5(a) through (h) does is indicate when there is no need for the opponent's consent or a court order before disclosure can be made.\nAs the Protective Order plainly gives the court the power to enter an order compelling disclosure to anyone—law enforcement included—Maxwell could not reasonably have relied on the\n18\nSDNY_GM_00000892\nDOJ-OGR-00004942",
