Court filing cites Civil Rights Law to block public release of appellate brief containing alleged Epstein victim identities

Court filing cites Civil Rights Law to block public release of appellate brief containing alleged Epstein victim identities The passage outlines a procedural privacy argument to keep victim identities sealed in an appellate brief related to Epstein. It mentions no new financial flows, misconduct, or direct involvement of high‑ranking officials, offering only a modest lead about a possible court order that could later reveal redacted information. Key insights: Civil Rights Law § 50‑b restricts public disclosure of appellate briefs that could identify sex‑crime victims.; A “matrow” exception allows court‑ordered disclosure for “good cause” with notice to victims and prosecuting agencies.; The filing notes the Post has not provided required notice to Florida federal or local prosecutors or to victims.
