A week ago, Gaston Browne was boasting on his Facebook page that the federal judge in New York had granted a stay on subpoenas – that is, a stop on legal discovery of Browne and his cronies – in the Alfa Nero case.
Yesterday, on April 22, that same judge granted Boies Schiller’s appeal to lift the stay.
“Upon review of the parties’ letters, the Court concludes that the proper way to balance Applicant’s [Alfa Nero owner’s] interest in avoiding unnecessary delay and Movants’ [Browne family and associates] privacy interests is to lift the stay and require production subject to a protective order providing that any response to the Subpoenas are to be held on an Attorneys-Eyes-Ohly basis until further order of the Court and are to be destroyed to the extent that the Court grants a motion to quash,” Judge Jesse Furman wrote in the order.
“Applicant and Movants shall confer and, no later than April 25, 2025, file a proposed protective order.”
These orders and court documents are public in the United States.
