The United States seeks to evict Jeffrey E. Epstein and Ivan S. Fisher from a building previously used by the Deputy Consul General of Iran. The government also seeks back rent. A dispute arose over the confidentiality of Fisher's tax return, which the government wanted to use beyond this case. The court ruled against the government's proposal to use the information outside this lawsuit, emphasizing the importance of confidentiality in civil litigation and the private nature of tax information.
