Bridgegate defendants William Baroni Jr. and Bridget Anne Kelly are fighting a bid by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to seal a memo containing legal advice the agency received from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
The Port Authority, a nonparty in the prosecution of Baroni and Kelly in connection with the 2013 closure of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, asked the judge in the Bridgegate case Dec. 3 to place the legal memo and a related email under a protective order. But Baroni and Kelly claimed in a Dec. 22 brief in opposition that the Port Authority’s application should not be heard because the agency is a nonparty and never filed a motion to intervene. Baroni and Kelly also said the Gibson Dunn memorandum does not fall under the definition of confidential discovery materials that are covered by the protective order in the case.
