court filing: 20-CR-033-DLC

The government opposes the defendant's request to use certain discovery materials from the criminal case in related civil cases, arguing that the defendant has not shown a compelling reason to permit such use and that it would be an improper circumvention of the protective order in the criminal case. The government contends that the materials are not relevant to the civil cases and that the defendant's true intention is to falsely accuse the government and a recipient of malfeasance. The government's opposition is presented in a letter to the court, signed by Assistant United States Attorneys.
