In this link Epstein's former lawyer says there is no client list but there are names of people accused of by the victims that are sealed and none of them are office holders. Supposedly he knows "the list" of names. He also says federal judges can unseal this and that the media *Dont they hand out press passes here?* should petition the court for the release of names.

According to Google this is how to unseal this:

1. Identify the Case and Documents:

• Determine the specific federal court where the documents were sealed.
  
• Identify the case name and number.
  
• Know exactly which documents are sealed and why they were sealed. 
  

2. Understand the Sealing Order:

• Review the court order that sealed the documents. This order should outline the reasons for sealing and may include specific conditions for unsealing. 
  
• Understand the legal basis for the sealing order, such as a statute, rule, or court order. 
  

3. File a Motion to Unseal:

• Draft the Motion: Prepare a formal motion to unseal the documents. This motion should clearly state:
  • The case name and number.
    
  • The specific documents to be unsealed.
    
  • The reasons for unsealing the documents. This should include a legal argument for why the sealing order should be lifted, potentially referencing relevant case law or legal standards. 
    
  • Any relevant facts to support your request. 
    
  • A request for the court to order the unsealing of the documents. 
    
• File the Motion: File the motion with the court clerk, adhering to the court's electronic filing procedures (CM/ECF) if applicable. 
  
• Pay Fees: Be prepared to pay any required filing fees. 
  
• Serve the Motion: Provide copies of the motion to all parties involved in the case, including those who may have sought the sealing order. 
  
• Proof of Service: File proof that you served the motion on all parties. 
  

4. Court Procedures:

• Scheduling:
  The court will schedule a hearing on the motion or set a deadline for responses from other parties.
  
• Opposition:
  Parties who oppose the unsealing will file their responses with the court, often including arguments against unsealing.
  
• Hearing:
  If a hearing is scheduled, you may need to present your arguments and evidence to the court.
  
• Decision:
  The court will issue a decision on the motion, either granting or denying the request to unseal the documents. 
  

5. Alternative Approaches:

• Informal Letter:
  In some cases, an informal letter request to the court may be sufficient, especially if the documents were sealed recently and there are no strong reasons for continued secrecy. 
  
• Intervention:
  If you are a non-party seeking to challenge the sealing order, you may need to formally intervene in the case. 
  
• Standing:
  Ensure you have standing to challenge the sealing order, meaning you have a legitimate interest in the documents. 
  

6. Important Considerations:

• Public Access:
  There is a presumption of public access to court records, but this can be overcome by compelling reasons for confidentiality. 
  
• Balancing Test:
  Courts will balance the public's right to access against the reasons for sealing, such as privacy, trade secrets, or national security. 
  
• Specificity:
  Motions to unseal should be specific and well-reasoned, providing clear arguments and legal citations. 
  
• Proper Sealing:
  If the documents were not properly sealed in the first place, it may be easier to have them unsealed.
