In his reply to plaintiffs' responses to his motions for stay, defendant Jeffrey Epstein refers to a confidential agreement between the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and Jeffrey Epstein. 2. The information contained in the confidential agreement is material to this Court's consideration of defendant's reply to plaintiffs' responses to his motions for stay. 3. To avoid disclosure of confidential material, defendant requests leave to file his reply to plaintiffs' responses to his motions for stay, and this motion, under seal. 4. We recognize that this Court has previously unsealed documents referring to this same agreement. We mean in no way to disregard that order, but seek merely to comply with the confidentiality clause in that agreement for this new and independent filing, in an abundance of caution, until directed otherwise by the Court.
