Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1332-17 Filed 01/08/24 Page 3 of 13 (“Confidential Materials”). The parties’ depositions were taken under the Order’s auspice: The parties and numerous non-parties in depositions and document productions disclosed highly sensitive, personal and confidential information with the understanding that such information would be designated “Confidential.” The Order prohibits Confidential Materials from being “disclosed or used for any purpose except the preparation and trial of this case.” Doc.62 4 4. Under the Order the parties are (a) prohibited from disclosing such materials to non-parties except on certain conditions, and (b) required at the conclusion of the case to return or destroy “each document and all copies thereof” of these Confidential Materials. Jd. § 12. The parties produced thousands of pages of Confidential Materials under the Protective Order. The parties submitted various Confidential Materials under seal as exhibits to court filings. The Protective Order provided that any such materials submitted to the Court “shall be accompanied by a Motion to Seal pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Electronic Case Filing Rules & Instructions for the Southern District of New York.” In May 2017 the parties entered into a settlement agreement resolving all matters relating to the lawsuit. On May 25, 2017, “[t]his action was settled and dismissed with prejudice pursuant to a joint stipulation for dismissal.” Sealed Op., at 3 (Nov. 14, 2017); see Doc.917 (Order approving joint stipulation for dismissal with prejudice). On November 14, 2017, this Court ordered: “[A]ll documents, materials, and information subject to the Protective Order must be returned to the party who designated its confidentiality as of the date this action was dismissed.” Id. 2 (emphasis supplied). Ms. Giuffre and her counsel have not complied with this order. This Motion seeks enforcement of the Protective Order and this Court’s November 14, 2017, reiterating the command contained in the Protective Order to return Confidential Materials.
