Appellant Ghislaine Maxwell's Reply in Support of Her Motion for Pretrial Release
The Government's Response underscores why this Court should order bail for Ghislaine Maxwell so that she can prepare for trial. The court below erred in accepting the Government's conclusory proffer without any actual evidence. And the conditions of her confinement make it impossible for her to effectively prepare her defense. The Government concedes that Ms. Maxwell is not a danger to the community, and her proposed bail package demonstrates that she is not a risk of flight. Accordingly, she should be released on bail.
At the very least, this matter should be remanded to the district court to conduct a real bail hearing to (1) test the actual strength of the Government's case, and (2) determine whether Ms. Maxwell should be granted temporary release so that she can effectively prepare for trial, which she cannot do under the current conditions of confinement.
Relying almost entirely on a regurgitation of quotations from the lower court (the first 26 of the 43-paragraph pleading is labeled "Facts"), only ten paragraphs, labeled "Discussion," even attempt to address Ms. Maxwell's arguments. As much as the Government would prefer that Ms. Maxwell not have a fair fight, this Court must level the playing field so

IT APPEARING that Epstein seeks to resolve globally his state and federal criminal liability and Epstein understands and acknowledges that, in exchange for the benefits provided by this agreement, he agrees to comply with its terms, including undertaking certain actions with the State Attorney's Office;
IT APPEARING, after an investigation of the offenses and Epstein's background by both State and Federal law enforcement agencies, and after due consultation with the State Attorney's Office, that the interests of the United States, the State of Florida, and the Defendant will be served by the following procedure;
THEREFOR, on the authority of R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, prosecution in this District for these offenses shall be deferred in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, provided that Epstein abides by the following conditions and the requirements of this Agreement set forth below.
If the United States Attorney should determine, based on reliable evidence, that, during the period of the Agreement, Epstein willfully violated any of the conditions of this Agreement, then the United States Attorney may, within ninety (90) days following the expiration of the term of home confinement discussed below, provide Epstein with timely notice specifying the condition(s) of the Agreement that he has violated, and shall initiate its prosecution on any offense within sixty (60) days' of giving notice of the violation. Any notice provided to Epstein pursuant to this paragraph shall be provided within 60 days of the United States learning of facts which may provide a basis for a determination of a breach of the Agreement.
After timely fulfilling all the terms and conditions of the Agreement, no prosecution for the offenses set out on pages 1 and 2 of this Agreement, nor any other offenses that have been the subject of the joint investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Attorney's Office, nor any offenses that arose from the Federal Grand Jury investigation will be instituted in this District, and the charges against Epstein if any, will be dismissed.

that the presumption of innocence is more than mere words on a page.
This Reply responds to the arguments the Government does raise:
1. The Court did not conduct a “lengthy bail hearing.” Resp.¶2.
The transcript of the video arraignment and bail hearing spans only 91 pages, with the bail arguments on pages 22-79. The Government did not present any actual evidence at this brief hearing. Br.7-8,19-21. During the bail hearing, each time the Government mentioned the strength of its case, it cited to the Indictment. See, e.g., Ex.D, p.24(“Turning first to the strength of the evidence, the indictment in this case arises … . The indictment further charges that …”); pg. 25 (“The indictment makes plain … it was an ongoing scheme … Given the strength of the government’s evidence … there is an incredibly strong incentive for the defendant to flee …”). The court erred in agreeing that the Indictment itself demonstrates strength. Id. at 82 (“[I]t is appropriate to consider the strength of the evidence proffered by the government in assessing risk of flight. The government’s evidence at this early juncture of the case appears strong. Although the charged conduct took place many years ago, the indictment describes …”). At no point did the Government introduce or even proffer any actual evidence.

The Government makes much of the fact that its Indictment is "speaking." But speaking or not, an indictment is not a substitute for evidence and cannot be used as proof that the case is strong. If that were true, then every single case would be strong because in every case there is an indictment.
2. Similarly, the "additional charges" do not "strengthen the evidence against Maxwell" and do not "further support Judge Nathan's detention orders." Resp.¶6, n.2. The new charges are allegations, nothing more. Piling allegation on allegation and then calling it proof does not make it so. Allegations are not evidence. Moreover, these charges will require Ms. Maxwell to spend more time with her lawyers, not less, and further illustrate why bail is necessary.1
3. Contrary to the Government's assertion, "[e]ach witness's testimony" is not "corroborated by that of other victim-witnesses." Resp.¶9. The Government continues to press the false point that the mere number of accusers provides corroboration for the accusers. To the
1The defense has been forced to asked for a continuance of the July trial because of the expansion of the conspiracy time period. Ex.O. If the trial is delayed and Ms. Maxwell is not released on bail, she will be further prejudiced with the inhumane conditions of confinement and the inability to aid her defense.

proposed agreements with the State Attorney's Office prior to entering into those agreements.
7. The United States shall provide Epstein's attorneys with a list of individuals whom it has identified as victims, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2255, after Epstein has signed this agreement and been sentenced. Upon the execution of this agreement, the United States, in consultation with and subject to the good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, shall select an attorney representative for these persons, who shall be paid for by Epstein. Epstein's counsel may contact the identified individuals through that representative.
8. If any of the individuals referred to in paragraph (7), supra, elects to file suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida over his person and/or the subject matter, and Epstein waives his right to contest liability and also waives his right to contest damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein, so long as the identified individual elects to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and agrees to waive any other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state, federal, or common law. Notwithstanding this waiver, as to those individuals whose names appear on the list provided by the United States, Epstein's signature on this agreement, his waivers and failures to contest liability and such damages in any suit are not to be construed as an admission of any criminal or civil liability.
9. Epstein's signature on this agreement also is not to be construed as an admission of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense as to any person whose name does not appear on the list provided by the United States.
10. Except as to those individuals who elect to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C.§ 2255, as set forth in paragraph (8), supra, neither Epstein's signature on this agreement, nor its terms, nor any resulting waivers or settlements by Epstein are to be construed as admissions or evidence of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense as to any person, whether or not her name appears on the list provided by the United States.
11. Epstein shall use his best efforts to enter his guilty plea and be

contrary. Not a single on of the anonymous accusers saw or heard what purportedly happened to the other accusers. Not a single one of the anonymous accusers will be able to corroborate the 25-year old stories of the other accusers. Indeed, their stories are contradictory, not corroborating. At a real hearing, the defense will demonstrate that each of the witness' stories has dramatically changed over the years. At first, none of the anonymous accusers even mentioned Ms. Maxwell. As they hired the same law firm, sought money and fame, joined a movement, and only after Epstein died, did the accusers start to point the finger at Ms. Maxwell. Far from corroboration, this is fabrication. The district judge erred in relying on the Indictment as proof that the Government's case is strong.
4. Because there was no meaningful proffer, the Government's reliance on United States v. LaFontaine, 210 F.3d 125, 131 (2d Cir. 2000) and United States v. Martir, 782 F.2d 1141, 1145 (2d Cir. 1986), is misplaced. Resp. ¶34. In fact, those cases highlight the court's error. In LaFontaine, for example, the bail revocation hearing lasted three days where the government's proffer included providing tape recordings, transcripts, and an affidavit for the court. No such evidentiary proffer

occurred here. The LaFontaine Court explained that "while the informality of bail hearings serves the demands of speed, the ... district judge must also ensure the reliability of the evidence, 'by selectively insisting upon the production of the underlying evidence of evidentiary sources where their accuracy is in question.' Id. at 131 (quoting Martir, 782 F.2d at 1147). And in Martir, this Court recognized the "high stakes" involved in a detention hearing and explained that the power afforded to the lower courts "should always be exercised 'with the recognition that a pretrial detention hearing may restrict for a significant time the liberty of a presumably innocent person.'" 782 F.2d at 1145 (internal citations omitted). It then criticized the government's proffer as stating in "the most general and conclusory terms what it hoped to provide," for failing to submit any "independent evidence, such as tapes, documents, or photographs," and for failing to furnish any testimony or affidavits. Id. at 1147. Sounds familiar. Unlike Martir, where this Court found that it could not reverse because the defense "did not challenge the proffer in any way," Ms. Maxwell absolutely challenged the flimsy proffer from the initial bail hearing through three renewals. Instead of properly putting the Government to the test, the court blindly, uncritically, and

erroneously adopted its conclusory proffer.
5. Ms. Maxwell's intention to evade the media does not even marginally amount to risk of flight. Resp.¶33. The Government does not dispute that the media placed a bounty on Ms. Maxwell or that she was being stalked by them before her arrest. Of course she took measures to protect herself and her family, just as government lawyers and judges do when their safety is at issue. Ms. Maxwell was at her home in the United States. The Government admits that it knew where she was. It had such confidence that it could arrest her whenever it chose that it orchestrated her arrest to coincide with a press conference replete with incendiary demonstrative aids. And it is worth repeating that the Government does not claim that Ms. Maxwell – a 59-year old woman with no prior criminal history – is a danger to the community. She is no monster, but she is being treated like one because of the “Epstein effect.”
6. The Government's contention that Ms. Maxwell receives more time than other inmates at MDC to “review her discovery” and “communicate with her attorneys” does not prove anything about whether she is actually able to effectively prepare her defense. Ms. Maxwell needs more time with her lawyers and discovery than almost any other MDC

inmate, few of which are preparing for trial. Over 97% of criminal defendants plead guilty and, therefore, need far less time with their lawyers. Of the remaining 3% who do proceed to trial, the vast majority are out on bond. For those few in custody, how many involve anonymous accusations that are decades old and 2.7 million pages?2 And how often is such a defendant forced to prepare her case during a pandemic where in-person lawyer visits are unsafe and impractical? It is no wonder that courts around the country are ordering temporary release under § 3142(i) for the few defendants who are trying to prepare for trial during the pandemic.
The Government's weak response is that Ms. Maxwell only mentioned temporary release at the first bail hearing. The Government suggests waiver, without saying it. Nonsense. Ms. Maxwell has repeatedly pressed her inability to effectively prepare her defense, which is properly
2To illustrate, for Ms. Maxwell to review the 2.7 million pages, she would have to do it, page by page, on a computer screen. If she spent only 1 minute per page, it would take 45,000 hours or 3,750 days (at 12 hours a day), without taking any notes, without discussing a single page with her lawyers, and not including the discovery that is on the way. Although the Government labels this new discovery "non-testifying witness discovery," it really is Brady material which severely undermines the already weak case.

7. Ms. Maxwell is not suggesting that "any defendant in a case with voluminous discovery must be released on bail to prepare for trial." Resp.¶40. Her case and situation is unique. Other defendants may pose a danger to the community. The Government concedes that she does not. Other defendants may not be U.S. citizens. She is. Other defendants may not have strong U.S. connections. Ms. Maxwell has lived here for 30 years, has a husband and step-children here, and has two sisters who are U.S. citizens and live here. Other defendants may not have pledged almost all of their assets or offer to have a monitor track her expenses. Ms. Maxwell has. Other defendants may not be willing to renounce their foreign citizenship. She is. Other defendants may have prior convictions. She does not. But other defendants have no connection to Jeffrey Epstein, and she does. Although unstated, that old connection is the driving factor for detention, and that is error.
8. The Government says that the district judge has "closely monitored" her conditions of confinement. Unfortunately, that is not accurate. The District Court accepted, without any real inquiry, the self-serving Government letters. These letters describe a "prison

paradise," not one of the most notorious prisons in America. A "day room."
Two computers. Recreation. Eye masks. But the Government's description
of Ms. Maxwell's conditions is not true. For example, she has no eye
mask. The guards flash lights in her cell every 15 minutes for no reason
so she tries as best as she can to shield her eyes with a towel that is not
secured and not effective against the unwelcome beams. Even the
Government does not dispute that Ms. Maxwell is in de facto solitary
confinement. It does not dispute that she has no surface to write on in her
isolation cell. It does not dispute that there is often cloudy, obviously
unsanitary, water in the jail. It does not dispute that she is being forced
to prepare for this trial with a computer that cannot do research and
cannot search documents. Attached as Exhibit P, is a response to the
latest Government letter, which outlines her actual conditions. It is
inconceivable that the government lawyers or its witnesses could prepare
for trial under these conditions.
It is painfully apparent that the two sides are far apart on how Ms.
Maxwell is being treated. The Government's letters, however, are based
on multiple layers of hearsay - prison guards to the prison lawyer to the
prosecutor, which get summarized in an unsworn letter to the court. No

affidavits at all, let along from anyone with actual knowledge, were submitted to the court. And the judge has never had an evidentiary hearing about the conditions.
In its most recent letter, the Government contends that Ms. Maxwell's allegation of abuse by the prison guards is unfounded because the Bureau of Prisons has reviewed a video of the incident and has concluded that there is no abuse. This self-serving proclamation is no substitute for evidence. The prosecutors who filed the letter do not even claim to have watched the video. The Government should produce it for the court and defense to review. The court should conduct a hearing to determine what actually happened. The Government professes to believe women, but only when those women are on their side, despite their inconsistent and self-contradictory statements about old, uncorroborated allegations. When it is Ms. Maxwell who has been abused, the Government wants to believe only the abusers who say they did no such thing and without watching the actual video. It seems like the only rule is to get Ms. Maxwell at all costs. And it seems that a conviction is not even enough for the Government - it wants to go so far as to humiliate Ms. Maxwell with false statements about the cleanliness of her cell. See

07/07/2020 10 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. An arraignment, initial conference, and bail hearing in this matter is hereby scheduled to occur as a remote video/teleconference using an internet platform system on July 14, 2020 at 1 p.m. In advance of the conference, Chambers will email counsel with further information on how to access the video conference. To optimize the quality of the video feed, only the Court, the Defendant, defense counsel, and counsel for the Government will appear by video for the proceeding; all others may access the audio of the public proceeding by telephone. Due to the limited capacity of the internet platform system, only one attorney per party may participate by video. Co-counsel, members of the press, and the public may access the audio feed of the proceeding by calling a dial-in number, which the Court will provide in advance of the proceeding by subsequent order. Given the high degree of public interest in this case, a video feed of the remote proceeding will be available for viewing in the Jury Assembly Room located at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY. Due to social distancing requirements, seating will be extremely limited; when capacity is reached no additional persons will be admitted. Per the S.D.N.Y. COVID-19 Courthouse Entry Program, anyone who appears at any S.D.N.Y. courthouse must complete a questionnaire on the date of the proceeding prior to arriving at the courthouse. All visitors must also have their temperature taken when they arrive at the courthouse. Please see the instructions, attached. Completing the questionnaire ahead of time will save time and effort upon entry. Only persons who meet the entry requirements established by the questionnaire and whose temperatures are below 100.4 degrees will be allowed to enter the courthouse. Face coverings that cover the nose and mouth must be worn at all times. Anyone who fails to comply with the COVID-19 protocols that have been adopted by the Court will be required to leave the courthouse. There are no exceptions. As discussed in the Court's previous order, defense counsel shall, if possible, discuss the Waiver of Right to be Present at Criminal Proceeding with the Defendant prior to the proceeding. See Dkt. No. 7. If the Defendant consents, and is able to sign the form (either personally or, in accordance with Standing Order 20-MC-174 of March 27, 2020, by defense counsel), defense counsel shall file the executed form at least 24 hours prior to the proceeding. In the event the Defendant consents, but counsel is unable to obtain or affix the Defendant's signature on the form, the Court will conduct an inquiry at the outset of the proceeding to determine whether it is appropriate for the Court to add the Defendant's signature to the form. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3771(c)(1), the Government must make their best efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights provided to them in that section. This includes [t]he right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding... involving the crime or of any release... of the accused and "[t]he right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving release." Id. § 3771(a)(2), (4). The Court will inquire with the https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?211087015221896-L_1_0-1 7/113 DOJ-OGR-00020629

Gov'tEx. (April 6, 2021 letter, n.2). But as Ms. Maxwell explained, the Government's narrative is total fiction - the unsanitary conditions are caused by other inmates and guards, not Ms. Maxwell.
9. The Government also makes much of Ms. Maxwell's vaccination. Again this demonstrates a gross double standard. Imagine if the defense had publicly filed medical information about the accusers. There would be hell to pay. The Government insists on secrecy and redactions when discussing their witnesses, and will not even reveal their names. Yet it freely discloses private information in violation of HIPAA about Ms. Maxwell in public filings.
In any event, whether Ms. Maxwell is vaccinated or not does not help her search documents on an ancient computer or give her access to a printer or allow her to meet with her lawyers (who would still need to come into the jail and interact with numerous other prisoners and guards who have not been vaccinated). Ms. Maxwell's bail motion is not based on her risk of contracting COVID. Her vaccination status is irrelevant.

Government as to the extent of those efforts. So that appropriate logistical arrangements can be made, the Government shall inform the Court by email within 24 hours in advance of the proceeding if any alleged victim wishes to be heard on the question of detention pending trial. Finally, the time between the Defendant's arrest and July 6, 2020 is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act due to the delay involved in transferring the Defendant from another district. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(F). And the Court further excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act from today through July 14, 2020. Due to the logistical issues involved in conducting a remote proceeding, the Court finds "that the ends of justice served by [this exclusion] outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial." 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The exclusion is also supported by the need for the parties to discuss a potential protective order, which will facilitate the timely production of discovery in a manner protective of the rights of third parties.

CONCLUSION
Ms. Maxwell should be released. The allegations against her are weak, she is not a risk of flight, and her appearance at trial is assured by an unprecedented bail package. In the meantime, she cannot effectively prepare for trial under these truly appalling conditions.
The Government's tactic in this appeal, and in the court below, is transparent - it is "trust us." Trust our proffer on the evidence because we indicted her (and this case relates to Jeffrey Epstein). Trust us when we say her conditions are fine because the Bureau of Prisons says they are fine (and we can't have another Jeffrey Epstein situation). The court below clearly erred, however, in just trusting the Government without any actual evidence and without a real hearing, notwithstanding Jeffrey Epstein. As much as the Government would like this case to be the Jeffrey Epstein show, Ghislaine Maxwell is not Jeffrey Epstein.
Ms. Maxwell understands that she and the Government are not going to agree on the facts. This is an adversary system, of course. But in that circumstance, there must be an adversarial hearing where Ms. Maxwell can demonstrate that the Government's case - based on old, anonymous accusations - is weak. There must be an adversarial hearing

number to be used to ensure audio access to the proceeding for non-speaking co-counsel, alleged victims, and any family members of the Defendant. The United States Attorney's Office should email Chambers with information regarding any alleged victims who are entitled, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3771(a)(4), to be heard at the bail hearing and who wish to be heard. The Court will then provide information as to the logistics for their dial-in access. As the Court described in a previous order, members of the press and public may watch and listen to the live video feed in the Jury Assembly Room, at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street.

| 07/23/2020 | 28 | ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Defense has moved for an order "prohibiting the Government, its agents and counsel for witnesses from making extrajudicial statements concerning this case." Dkt. No. 27 at 1. The Court firmly expects that counsel for all involved parties will exercise great care to ensure compliance with this Court's local rules, including Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and the rules of professional responsibility. In light of this clear expectation, the Court does not believe that further action is needed at this time to protect the Defendant's right to a fair trial by an impartial jury. Accordingly, it denies the Defendant's motion without prejudice. But the Court warns counsel and agents for the parties and counsel for potential witnesses that going forward it will not hesitate to take appropriate action in the face of violations of any relevant rules. The Court will ensure strict compliance with those rules and will ensure that the Defendant's right to a fair trial will be safeguarded. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

07/30/2020 36 PROTECTIVE ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell...regarding procedures to be followed that shall govern the handling of confidential material. SO ORDERED: (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 7/30/2020)(bw) (Entered: 07/31/2020)
07/30/2020 37 MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Both parties have asked for the Court to enter a protective order. While they agree on most of the language, two areas of dispute have emerged. First, Ms. Maxwell seeks language allowing her to publicly reference alleged victims or witnesses who have spoken on the public record to the media or in public fora, or in litigation relating to Ms. Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein. Second, Ms. Maxwell seeks language restricting potential Government witnesses and their counsel from using discovery materials for any purpose other than preparing for the criminal trial in this action. The Government has proposed contrary language on both of these issues. For the following reasons, the Court adopts the Government's proposed protective order Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(d)(1), "[a]t any time the court may, for good cause, deny, restrict, or defer discovery or inspection, or grant other appropriate relief." The good cause standard "requires courts to balance several interests, including whether dissemination of the discovery materials inflicts hazard to others... whether the imposition of the protective order would prejudice the defendant," and "the public's interest in the information." United States v. Smith, 985 F. Supp. 2d 506, 522 (S.D.N.Y. 2013). The party seeking to restrict disclosure bears the burden of showing good cause. Cf. Gambale v. Deutsche Bank AG, 377 F.3d 133, 142 (2d Cir. 2004). First, the Court finds that the Government has met its burden of showing good cause with regard to restricting the ability of Ms. Maxwell to publicly reference alleged victims and witnesses other than those who have publicly identified themselves in this litigation. As a general matter, it is undisputed that there is a strong and specific interest in protecting the privacy of alleged victims and witnesses in this case that supports restricting the disclosure of their identities. Dkt. No. 29 at 3 (acknowledging that as a baseline the protective order should "prohibit[] Ms. Maxwell, defense counsel, and others on the defense team from disclosing or disseminating the identity of any alleged victim or potential witness referenced in the discovery materials"); see also United States v. Corley, No. 13-cr-48, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 194426, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 15, 2016). The Defense argues this interest is significantly diminished for individuals who have spoken on the public record about Ms. Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein, because they have voluntarily chosen to identify themselves. But not all accusations or public statements are equal. Deciding to participate in or contribute to a criminal investigation or prosecution is a far different matter than simply making a public statement "relating to" Ms. Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein, particularly since such a statement might have occurred decades ago and https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?7211087015221896-L_1_0-1 11/113 DOJ-OGR-00020633

have no relevance to the charges in this case. These individuals still maintain a significant privacy interest that must be safeguarded. The exception the Defense seeks is too broad and risks undermining the protections of the privacy of witnesses and alleged victims that is required by law. In contrast, the Government's proffered language would allow Ms. Maxwell to publicly reference individuals who have spoken by name on the record in this case. It also allows the Defense to "reference[e] the identities of individuals they believe may be relevant... to Potential Defense Witnesses and their counsel during the course of the investigation and preparation of the defense case at trial." Dkt. No. 33-1, 5. This proposal adequately balances the interests at stake. And as the Government's letter notes, see Dkt. No. 33 at 4, to the extent that the Defense needs an exception to the protective order for a specific investigative purpose, they can make applications to the Court on a case-by-case basis. Second, restrictions on the ability of potential witnesses and their counsel to use discovery materials for purposes other than preparing for trial in this case are unwarranted. The request appears unprecedented despite the fact that there have been many high-profile criminal matters that had related civil litigation. The Government expects the Government to scrupulously follow. Furthermore, the Government indicates that it will likely only provide potential witnesses with materials that those witnesses already have in their possession. See Dkt. No. 33 at 6. And of course, those witnesses who do testify at trial would be subject to examination on the record as to what materials were provided or shown to them by the Government. Nothing in the Defense's papers explains how its unprecedented proposed restriction is somehow necessary to ensure a fair trial. For the foregoing reasons, the Court adopts the Government's proposed protective order, which will be entered on the docket. This resolves Dkt. No. 29. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 7/30/2020)(bw) (Entered: 07/31/2020)

The Government has indicated that it will do so. The only dispute, then, relates to the timing of such disclosure. See Dkt. Nos. 64, 65. Because the Government has articulated plausible reasons for some delay of disclosure, see Dkt. No. 65 at 4, the Court grants the Government's request to delay disclosure. However, the Governments proposal to delay disclosure until 8 weeks in advance of trial is insufficient.

On November 30, 2020, the defense counsel filed a second letter no longer fully pressing the unsupported request to file the letter entirely under seal and instead proposing redactions to both the November 25th and November 30th letters. The Government has indicated that it does not oppose the redactions. Dkt. No. 80.

adopt the Defendant's proposed redactions, which are consented to by the Government. The Court's decision is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Under this test, the Court must: (i) determine whether the documents in question are "judicial documents;" (ii) assess the weight of the common law presumption of access to the materials; and (iii) balance competing considerations against the presumption of access. Id. at 119-20. "Such countervailing factors include but are not limited to 'the danger of impairing law enforcement or judicial efficiency' and 'the privacy interests of those resisting disclosure.'" Id. at 120 (quoting United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1050 (2d Cir. 1995) ("Amodeo II")). The proposed redactions satisfy this test. First, the Court finds that the Defendant's letter motions are "relevant to the performance of the judicial function and useful in the judicial process," thereby qualifying as a "judicial document" for purposes of the first element of the Lugosch test. United States v. Amodeo ("Amodeo I"), 44 F.3d 141, 145 (2d Cir. 1995). And while the Court assumes that the common law presumption of access attaches, in balancing competing considerations against the presumption of access, the Court finds that the arguments the Defendant has put forthincluding, most notably, the privacy interests of the individuals referenced in the lettersfavor her proposed and tailored redactions. The Defendant is hereby ORDERED to docket the redacted versions of the two letters by December 4, 2020. For the reasons outlined in the Government's letter dated December 2, 2020, Dkt. No. 80, the Court DENIES the Defendant's request for an in camera conference. In order to protect the privacy interests referenced in the Defendant's November 25, 2020 letter, the Court will permit the Defendant to make her submission in writing and to propose narrowly tailored redactions. The parties are hereby ORDERED to meet and confer to jointly prepare a briefing schedule for the Defendant's forthcoming motion for release on bail. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

12/08/2020 92 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On December 4, 2020, the Court received a letter from MDC legal counsel responding to the concerns that the Defendant raised in her November 24, 2020 letter. See Dkt. Nos. 75, 88; see also Dkt. No. 78. The Defendant responded to the MDC legal counsel's letter on December 7, 2020, reiterating her request that the Court summon Warden Heriberto Tellez to personally respond to questions from the Court regarding the Defendant's conditions of confinement. See Dkt. No. 91. Having carefully reviewed the parties' submissions, along with the MDC legal counsel's December 4, 2020 letter, the Court DENIES the Defendant's request to summon the Warden to personally appear and respond to questions. This resolves Dkt. No. 75. Notwithstanding this, as originally provided in Dkt. No. 49, the Government shall continue to submit written status updates detailing any material changes to the conditions of Ms. Maxwell's confinement, with particular emphasis on her access to legal materials, including legal mail and email, and her ability to communicate with defense counsel.

Furthermore, the Government shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the Defendant continues to receive adequate access to her legal materials and her ability to communicate with defense counsel.

United States v. Amodeo ("Amodeo I"), 44 F.3d 141, 145 (2d Cir. 1995). And the Court also finds that the common law presumption of access attaches. Id. at 146; see also Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 602 (1978). As with the redactions to her renewed motion for bail, the proposed redactions here are narrowly tailored to serve substantial interests, including, most importantly, third parties personal privacy interests. See Under Seal v. Under Seal, 273 F. Supp. 3d 460, 467 (S.D.N.Y. 2017). See also Dkt. No. 95. The Defendant is hereby ORDERED to docket the redacted documents and corresponding exhibits by no later than December 23, 2020. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

12/28/2020 104 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On December 8, 2020, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell filed a renewed motion for releaseon bail. Dkt No. 97. In an Opinion and Order concurrently filed under temporary seal, the Court DENIES the Defendant's motion. In light of the fact that the Opinion includes potentially confidential information that should not be filed on the public docket, the Court will permit the parties 48 hours to propose any redactions to the Courts Opinion and Order and to justify those redactions by reference tothe Second Circuits decision in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110(2d Cir. 2006). After determining which, if any, portions of the Opinion and Order should be redacted, the Court will file the Opinion and Order on the public docket. As a result, the Court concludes that the Government has met its burden of persuasion that the Defendant poses a flight risk and that pretrial detention continues to be warranted. On or before December 30, 2020, the parties are ORDERED to submit a joint letter indicating whether they propose any redactions and the justification for any such proposal. This resolves Dkt No. 97.

Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 ; enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2422 and 2; conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 ; transporting minors to participate in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2423 and 2; and two charges of perjury, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1623 . The Court held a lengthy bail hearing on July 14, 2020. After extensive briefing and argument at the hearing, the Court concluded that the Defendant was a clear risk of flight and that no conditions or combination of conditions would ensure her appearance. Defendant Ghislaine Maxwells renewed motion for release on bail, Dkt. No. 97, is DENIED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 12/28/20)(jw) (Entered: 12/30/2020)

03/18/2021 | 168 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On February 26, 2021, the Government filed its omnibus memorandum of law opposing Defendants' twelve pretrial motions. It filed the brief, along with the corresponding exhibits, under temporary seal pending the Court's resolution of its request to redact sensitive or confidential information. See Dkt. No. 162. On March 9, 2021, the Defendant objected to certain of the redactions that the Government had proposed, and she proposed additional redactions. Having considered the parties' respective positions, the Court will grant the Government's requests for redactions and sealing, as well as the Defendant's additional redaction requests, with the exceptions discussed below. Finally, the Court denies the Governments request to file Exhibit 11 entirely under seal. While portions of that transcript have been redacted, other portions are part of the public record. See Giuffre v. Maxwell, Case No. 15-cv-7433, Dkt. No. 1212-1. In light of this, the Court sees no basis to file the transcript entirely under seal rather than by redacting the relevant portions. In light of the above, the Government is hereby ORDERED to either docket on ECF their brief and the corresponding exhibits, consistent with this Order, or to file a letter with the Court justifying more tailored redaction and sealing requests regarding pages 1128 and 187188 and Exhibits 8 and 9 by no later than March 22, 2021. The parties are further ORDERED to meet, confer, and jointly propose redactions to the Defendant's cover letter objecting to the Government's proposed redactions by March 22, 2021. Finally, the parties are ORDERED to meet, confer, and propose redactions to Exhibit 11 of the Government's submission by March 22, 2021 (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 3/18/21)(jw) (Entered: 03/18/2021)
03/22/2021 | 169 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell's third motion for release on bail, Dkt. No. 160, is DENIED. The parties are ORDERED to meet and confer and propose and justify any redactions to the Defendant's reply brief by March 24, 2021. If they conclude that redactions are unnecessary, the Defendant is ORDERED to docket the unredacted version of the brief by March 24, 2021. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 3/22/2021) (See ORDER set forth) (ap) Modified on 3/23/2021 (ap). (Entered: 03/22/2021)

03/24/2021 172 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On March 5, 2021, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell submitted to the Court an application for an order authorizing a subpoena pursuant to Rule 17(c)(3) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The proposed subpoena was directed at a law firm that represents alleged victims of the Defendant. As is standard for Rule 17(c) subpoenas, the application was made ex parte and under seal on the ground that it reveals defense strategy....[*** See this Order ***]... Rule 17(c)(3) provides that " [a]fter [an indictment] is filed, a subpoena requiring the production of personal or confidential information about a victim may be served on a third party only by court order," but "before entering the order and unless there are exceptional circumstances, the court must require giving notice to the victim so that the victim can move to quash or modify the subpoena or otherwise object." Fed. R. Crim. P. 17(c)(3). Consistent with the Rule, on March 12, 2021, in a sealed ex parte Order, the Court required defense counsel to provide notice to alleged victims whose personal or confidential information may be disclosed by the proposed subpoena. The Court also gave the alleged victims an opportunity to object to or request modifications of the subpoena as required by Rule 17(c)(3). On March 19, 2021, the Court received a letter from the law firm indicating that it can provide notice to alleged victims whose personal or confidential information may be elicited by the subpoena. The law firm shall provide notice to any such alleged victims it represents. In that letter, the law firm also interposed substantial objections on behalf of the law firm and the alleged victims it represents. Those objections are functionally the equivalent of a motion to quash, even though the subpoena has not yet issued. So that the Court can receive adversarial briefing on the proposed subpoena comparable to a motion to quash, the law firm shall enter an appearance and file its objections on the public docket. See United States v. Ray, No. 20-CR-110 (LJL), 2020 WL 6939677, at *10 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 25, 2020) ("[I]f the Court determines that the subpoena calls for personal or confidential information about a victim, it requires the requesting party have given notice to the victim before it permits the service of the subpoena. If the victim objects, the Court will then determine whether to modify or quash the subpoena, including on grounds that Nixon was not satisfied.") In advance of noticing an appearance and filing, the law firm shall meet and confer with defense counsel to see if any issues can be narrowed before formal briefing. Moreover, prior to filing, the law firm shall confer with defense counsel as to any proposed, necessary, and tailored redactions to the objections. The law firm’s objections with any proposed redactions shall be filed on or before March 26, 2021.Any redactions must be justified consistent with Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Within one week of the filing of objections, defense counsel may respond to the subpoena objections. The law firm may reply within three days of the Defendant’s response.(See Citation 1 on this Order). Counsel shall confer regarding any proposed redactions for all briefing. SO ORDERED.

D. Rule 404(b) material
Maxwell's final discovery request is for early disclosure of evidence the Government seeks to offer under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b). Under Rule 404(b), if the prosecutor in a criminal case intends to use "evidence of a crime, wrong, or other act" against a defendant, the prosecutor must "provide reasonable notice of the general nature of any such evidence that the prosecutor intends to offer at trial" and must "do so in writing before trial—or in any form during trial if the court, for good cause, excuses lack of pretrial notice." The Government represents that it will notify the defense of its intent to use 404(b) evidence at least 45 days in advance of trial to allow Maxwell to file any motions in limine to be considered at the final pretrial conference. The Government's proposal will give Maxwell an opportunity to challenge admission of that evidence and to bring to the Court's attention any issues that require resolution before trial. "This is all that Rule 404(b) requires." United States v. Thompson, No. 13-cr-378 (AJN), 2013 WL 6246489, at *9 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 3, 2013). The Court concludes this schedule is generally reasonable, although additional time to enable briefing and resolution in advance of trial is strongly encouraged.
The Court's denial of Maxwell's requests to compel pretrial disclosures does not preclude the parties from negotiating in good faith for an expedited discovery timeline that will account for Maxwell's specific concerns. "[I]n most criminal cases, pretrial disclosure will redound to the benefit of all parties, counsel, and the court." United States v. Percevault, 490 F.2d 126, 132 (2d Cir. 1974). In general, the Court will require the parties to negotiate a final, omnibus schedule to propose to the Court. The Court concludes that the disclosure of all of the above materials approximately six to eight weeks in advance of trial is appropriate and sufficient.

The parties agree that the redactions to pages 118 and 119 are no longer necessary. The Defendant continues to press for the redactions on pages 129134. However, for the reasons stated in the Court's March 29, 2021 Order, the information is already part of the public record in this case and accordingly the proposed redactions are unnecessary and overbroad. Dkt. No. 189; see also United States v. Nejad, No. 18-CR-224 (AJN), 2021 WL 681427, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 22, 2021). For the reasons stated in the Court's March 18, 2021 and March 29, 2021 Orders, the Court approves the limited redactions to Exhibit 11 to the Government's brief, except for the language quoted in the Indictment, which is already part of the public record. The Government is therefore ORDERED to docket its omnibus memorandum of law, along with the corresponding exhibits, by 3:00 p.m. today, consistent with the Court's orders regarding redactions. The parties are further ORDERED to docket their April 1, 2021 joint letter; if either side believes that portions of that letter should be redacted, they shall propose redactions by April 19, 2021.

As set forth in the Defendant's cover letter, the premise of the proposed redactions is that the materials were produced in discovery and subject to the protective order that has been entered in this case. The mere existence of a confidentiality agreement or a protective order covering judicial documents is insufficient to overcome the presumption of access. See Aioi Nissay Dowa Ins. Co. v. Prosight Specialty Mgmt. Co., Inc., 12-cv-3274 (JPO), 2012 WL 3583176, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 21, 2012). And the Court did not receive specific requests or justifications to redact or seal any of the materials. The Defendant is ORDERED to docket Reply Briefs 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 on ECF today, as she did not propose any redactions to these and the Government has not voiced any opposition to these being filed without redactions. If either side is seeking these or any other redactions to the remaining reply briefs, they must file a letter indicating the redactions they request and providing specific justifications for the sealing requests or redactions, in line with the principles set forth in Lugosch. By April 20, 2021, the parties shall confer and submit a letter informing the Court whether any redactions are being sought. If no redactions are being sought, the Defendant is ORDERED to docket the remaining reply briefs on ECF by April 20, 2021. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 4/16/2021) (ap) (Entered: 04/16/2021)
04/16/2021 206 REPLY MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Support as to Ghislaine Maxwell re: 143 MOTION to Dismiss Counts One Through Four of the Superseding Indictment as Time-Barred. . (Everdell, Christian) (Entered: 04/16/2021)
04/16/2021 207 OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. In June 2020, a grand jury returned a six-count indictment charging Ghislaine Maxwell with facilitating the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of minor victims from around 1994 to 1997. The Government filed a first (S1) superseding indictment shortly thereafter, which contained only small, ministerial corrections. The S1 superseding indictment included two counts of enticement

or transportation of minors to engage in illegal sex acts in violation of the Mann Act and two counts of conspiracy to commit those offenses. It also included two counts of perjury in connection with Maxwell's testimony in a civil deposition. Trial is set to begin on July 12, 2021. Maxwell filed twelve pretrial motions seeking to dismiss portions of the S1 superseding indictment, suppress evidence, and compel discovery. After the parties fully briefed those motions, a grand jury returned a second (S2) superseding indictment adding a sex trafficking count and another related conspiracy count. This Opinion resolves all of Maxwell's currently pending pretrial motions other than those seeking to suppress evidence, which the Court will resolve in due course. The motions, and this Opinion, deal exclusively with the S1 superseding indictment and do not resolve any issues related to the newly added sex trafficking charges. For the reasons that follow, the Court denies Maxwell's motions to dismiss the S1 superseding indictment in whole or in part. It grants her motion to sever the perjury charges for a separate trial. It denies her motion to further expedite discovery. The Court provides a brief summary of its conclusions here and its reasoning on the pages that follow:...*** See this Opinion & Order ***]... Conclusion: The Court DENIES Maxwell's motions to dismiss the indictment as barred by Epstein's non-prosecution agreement (Dkt. No. 141), to dismiss the Mann Act counts as barred by the statute of limitations (Dkt. No. 143), to dismiss the indictment for pre-indictment delay (Dkt. No. 137), to dismiss the Mann Act counts for lack of specificity (Dkt. No. 123), to dismiss the perjury counts as legally untenable (Dkt. No. 135), to strike surplusage (Dkt. No. 145), to dismiss count one or count three as multiplicitous (Dkt. No. 121), and to expedite pretrial disclosures (Dkt. No. 147). The Court GRANTS Maxwell's motion to sever the perjury counts for a separate trial (Dkt. No. 119). The Court ORDERS the Government to confirm within one week whether it considers any evidence related to negotiation of the non-prosecution agreement to constitute Brady or Rule 16 material and, if so, to confirm that it has or will disclose such evidence. The Court further ORDERS the parties to negotiate a final schedule for all pretrial disclosures that remain outstanding, including: Brady, Giglio, and Jenks Act materials, including co-conspirator statements; non-testifying witness statements; testifying witness statements; the identity of victims alleged in the indictment; 404(b) material; and the Government's witness list. The Court also requires the parties to negotiate a schedule for any additional or supplemental motions briefing in light of the S2 indictment. The Court ORDERS a joint proposal to be submitted by April 21, 2021. If agreement is not reached, the parties shall submit their respective proposals. The Court further ORDERS Maxwell to show cause by April 21, 2021 why her motion to dismiss the S1 superseding indictment under the Sixth Amendment (Dkt. No. 125) should not be denied as moot. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 4/16/2021)(bw) (Entered: 04/16/2021)

04/19/2021 216 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: In its April 16, 2021 Opinion, the Court denied the Defendant's motions to dismiss the S1 superseding indictment in whole or in part and granted the Defendant's motion to sever the perjury counts for a separate trial. Dkt. No. 207. The Court will try the non-perjury counts first. As the Court noted in its Opinion, it has not yet resolved the Defendant's two motions to suppress evidence. See Dkt. Nos. 133, 139. The Defendant contends in those motions that the Government obtained by subpoena documents covered by a protective order in violation of her rights against unreasonable searches and seizures, against self-incrimination, and to due process of law. The motions seek, at minimum, an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the Government knowingly misrepresented facts to procure an order modifying the protective order. The Court requires information from the Government for scheduling purposes. The Government is ORDERED to inform the Court by letter docketed on ECF no later than April 20, 2021, whether it intends to use any of the documents subject to the pending motions to suppress in the trial of the non-perjury counts in this case. If the Government does not intend to use any of the documents subject to the pending motions to suppress in the trial of the non-perjury counts, the Court will defer consideration of those motions until it has scheduled the trial of the perjury counts.

ENDORSEMENT: The Court grants the Government's proposed redaction and sealing requests. This conclusion is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Under this test, the Court must: (i) determine whether the documents in question are "judicial documents;" (ii) assess the weight of the common law presumption of access to the materials; and (iii) balance competing considerations against the presumption of access. Id. at 11920. The Court concludes that these are judicial documents and that the First Amendment and common law presumptions of access attach. In balancing competing considerations against the presumption of access, however, the Court finds that the specific arguments the Government has put forward in this letter, including the need to protect the privacy interests of third parties and alleged victims, favor the narrowly tailored redactions. See United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1050 (2d Cir. 1995). The Government's letter does not discuss Exhibit L of Reply Brief 6. By April 23, 2021, the parties shall either propose redactions to Exhibit L of Reply Brief 6, which was originally filed under seal, or they shall indicate to the Court that they seek no redactions and file it on ECF.

05/03/2021 264 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On April 21, 2021, the Court's Chambers received a letter from counsel for a non-party requesting assurances as to privacy protections for his client in any filings or proceedings in this case. The letter requests anonymity on behalf of the client as an alleged victim of a sexual crime. After receiving the letter, the Court forwarded it to the parties and required the Government to respond to counsel, which it has done. The Court will take no further action based on the April 21, 2021 letter but will file it under seal to protect the privacy interests of the non-party asserting that interest. The Government is requested to forward this order to counsel for the non-party. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/3/21)(jbo) (Entered: 05/03/2021)
05/03/2021 265 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court has received an exchange of letters that pertain to an incident that took place on April 24, 2021. Dkt. Nos. 248, 253, 254, 258, 259. Legal counsel for MDC, where Ms. Maxwell is detained pretrial, alleges that her lawyers violated Bureau of Prisons rules by providing Ms. Maxwell materials at an in-person attorney-client visit. Dkt. Nos. 254, 259. Ms. Maxwells lawyers categorically deny the allegations and threaten separate legal action against MDC staff based on the incident and the accusation. Dkt. Nos. 253, 258. The Court intimates no views as to whether some other action or process is appropriate or proper in light of either sides allegations. This Courts obligation in this case, and any other, is to ensure that the defendant is given an opportunity to meet with her lawyers, engage in confidential attorney-client communications, and prepare for trial. Mindful of that obligation, the Court declines to take further action at this time. After receiving the defenses first letter motion, the Court ordered MDC legal counsel to show cause why the Court should not grant the requested relief. Dkt. No. 249. The Court then granted in part defense counsels original request and ordered MDC legal counsel to respond to certain questions about the April 24, 2021 incident and the procedures in place to ensure the confidentiality of Ms. Maxwells lawyer-client communications. Dkt. No. 255. Defense counsels current application is that this Court order MDC to turn over copies of video tapes of the in-person attorney-client visit. Dkt. No. 258. Those video tapes must be preserved in light of defense counsels preservation letter. Dkt. No. 248, Ex. C. If Ms. Maxwell or defense counsel are entitled to view or receive copies of those materials as a matter of law, they should be provided. To the extent defense counsel is seeking entitlement to those materials from this Court, that application is denied. The Court has ensured and will continue to ensure that Ms. Maxwell has the opportunity to meet meaningfully and confidentially with her lawyers in light of all relevant circumstances and consistent with the treatment of all other detained inmates in BOP custody. The isolated incident that took place on April 24, 2021, and the serious allegations leveled by MDC legal counsel and defense counsel in no way

undermine the Courts conclusion that Ms. Maxwell and her lawyers are fully able to prepare for trial. The Court is confident that all parties recognize the importance of this going forward and in advance of the upcoming trial. In furtherance of this, counsel for the Government are ORDERED to confer with legal counsel for MDC to ensure that Ms. Maxwell continues to have access to confidential attorney-client communications as she prepares for trial. If any additional incidents arise, defense counsel shall promptly confer with counsel for the Government regarding those incidents and seek to resolve any such issues swiftly, responsibly, reasonably, and amicably. If that fails, the parties may write to the Court jointly indicating their views, identifying and justifying any specific application being made. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/3/2021) (ap) (Entered: 05/03/2021)
05/03/2021 266 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court concludes that the interests of justice justify granting a short continuance. The Court deems an adjournment until fall 2021 to be reasonable. Such an adjournment would plainly give the defense team sufficient time to prepare for trial in light of the additional charges contained in the S2 indictment while also ensuring that the trial proceeds without undue delay. No additional delay is necessary or in the interests of justice. The parties are hereby ORDERED to meet and confer and by May 10, 2021, they shall jointly propose a trial start date for the Court to request of the Clerk's Office (as is required by COVID protocols). The Court urges counsel to agree to the earliest possible date this fall and to seek adjustments to other schedules in order to facilitate an early fall trial start date. The parties shall also discuss and propose any adjustments necessary to the pre-trial schedule in place. Dkt. No. 250. The Government may move in the letter for any requested exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/3/2021) (See ORDER set forth) (ap) (Entered: 05/03/2021)

05/04/2021 268 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On April 30, 2021, defense counsel requested that the Court issue an order directing the MDC to accept two hard drives from defense counsel that contain the non-Highly Confidential discovery in this case for Ms. Maxwell's use. Dkt. No. 260. On May 4, 2021, the Court received the attached email from MDC legal counsel indicating that MDC does not oppose the defense's request and that MDC staff will coordinate with defense counsel so that Ms. Maxwell can receive the hard drives. In light of this, defense counsel's April 30, 2021 request appears moot. Defense counsel shall raise any further issues regarding their request within two weeks of this order.

05/11/2021 277 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court has considered the parties' proposals regarding the commencement of trial. Dkt. Nos. 275, 276. For the reasons stated in the Government's letter, the Court will request November 29, 2021 from the Clerk's Office as the trial start datethat is the date (pending approval from the Clerk's Office consistent with the SDNY COVID protocols) that opening statements will be made to the jury. However, the Court will also request from the Clerk's Office that jury selection occur during the week of November 15. Counsel shall plan accordingly. The Court grants the Government's motion to exclude time until November 29, 2021. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting an exclusion from speedy trial computations for the period from today's date through November 29, 2021, outweigh the interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial, because this time is necessary to permit the defense to continue to review discovery and other materials in light of the superseding indictment; to permit the parties to prepare and file motions in limine; to permit the parties to make and review additional pretrial disclosures; and to allow adequate time for the parties to prepare for trial. Time is therefore excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), until November 29, 2021. In order to ensure that there is no delay in the commencement of trial, the Court will adjust the current pre-trial schedule. So that the Court can resolve motions in limine in advance of the November 29th trial commencement date, any such motions shall be fully briefed no later than four weeks in advance of the anticipated trial commencement date of November 29. The parties shall meet and confer to propose adjustments to other pre-trial disclosures accordingly. The parties are hereby ORDERED to meet and confer for at least 30 minutes by phone regarding the overall pretrial disclosure schedule and submit a joint letter by May 14, 2021. The Court will accept only a joint letter with a joint proposal or with each sides views briefly stated. The letter must attest to the meet and confer. Any separately filed letters will be struck. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/11/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 05/11/2021)

| 05/14/2021 | 282 | ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On April 29, 2021, counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell wrote to the Court requesting that the Court address her sleeping conditions, with particular emphasis on counsel's representation, unsupported by affidavit or other factual showing, that guards are shining a flashlight in Maxwell's eyes every 15 minutes at night. Dkt. No. 256. Defense counsel claims that the flashlight surveillance in Maxwell's eyes is disrupting her sleep, which in turn is impacting her ability to prepare for and withstand trial. The Court sought more information by ordering the Government to confer with legal counsel for the Bureau of Prisons and to respond to certain questions. Dkt. No. 257. In response, the Government states that MDC staff conduct flashlight checks of all inmates as a matter of course. Dkt. No. 270. As reported by the Government, inmates housed with cell mates in the Special Housing Unit are checked with flashlights every 30 minutes. Inmates housed with others in the general population are checked multiple times per night at regular intervals. The Government further reports that to conduct the checks, flashlights are pointed at the ceiling of the cell to confirm that the inmate is present, breathing, and not in distress. As the Government explains, there are a number of neutral reasons why BOP's flashlight checks of Maxwell are relatively more frequent than those of other inmates, including that Maxwell is housed alone, the nature of the charges, and the potential stress for inmates that can arise in high-profile cases. The MDC has determined that these factors necessitate more frequent safety and security checks. The Government also indicates that the prohibition on eye masks is a generally applicable policy, but that Maxwell, like other inmates, may use other noncontraband items to cover her eyes. To the extent that Maxwell's April 29, 2021 letter asks the Court to override BOP's determination as to the frequency of appropriate safety and security check procedures, that request is denied as factually unsubstantiated and legally unsupported. Certainly nothing in the record plausibly establishes that current protocols interfere with Maxwell's ability to prepare for her trial and communicate with her lawyers. Defense counsel's May 7, 2021 letter, Dkt. No. 272, describes generalized grievances but makes

no additional specific and supported application for relief. Nevertheless, the Court urges the MDC to consider whether sleep disruption for pretrial detainees can be reduced. The Court also admonishes the MDC and the Government to continue to ensure that Maxwell is subjected to only those security protocols that BOP determines are necessary for her safety and security, based upon neutral and applicable factors, and consistent with the treatment of similarly situated pre-trial detainees. The Government shall provide a copy of this Order to the Warden and General Counsel for the MDC. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/14/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 05/14/2021)

05/17/2021 284 MEMO ENDORSEMENT as to Ghislaine Maxwell re: 278 Letter Proposed Redactions to Defendant's Supplemental Pre-Trial Motions... ENDORSEMENT: The Court grants in part the Government's redaction and sealing requests. Its conclusion is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court concludes that these are judicial documents and that the First Amendment and common law presumptions of access attach. Id. at 11920. In balancing competing considerations against the presumption of access, the Court finds that the arguments the Government has put forward in this letter, including the need to protect the privacy interests of third parties and alleged victims, favor the narrowly tailored redactions. See United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1050 (2d Cir. 1995). Similarly, the Court concludes that the Government has shown that Exhibits E, F, G, H, and I should be filed under seal. With respect to Exhibit C, however, the Court concludes that narrowly tailored redactions are sufficient to advance the privacy interests the Government has identified. Accordingly, the Government is ORDERED to confer with defense counsel and submit proposed redactions to Exhibit C by May 20, 2021. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

previously filed under seal as Exhibits D, E, F, and G to the memorandum of law in support of Maxwell's first motion to suppress (Dkt. No. 134). Within one week, the parties shall confer and file under seal any proposed redactions to the memorandum decision, order, and transcripts.

Nathan on 6/25/2021)(bw) (Entered: 06/25/2021)
06/25/2021 307 OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell moves to suppress evidence obtained through a grand jury subpoena to a law firm involved in earlier civil litigation against her. She contends that because the documents sought by the subpoena were previously subject to a protective order, the Government obtained them in violation of her rights against compelled self-incrimination, against unreasonable searches and seizures, and to due process of law. For the foregoing reasons, the Court finds that the Government did not violate Maxwell's constitutional rights when it obtained evidence covered by a protective order in her earlier civil case. It further finds that Maxwell is not entitled to suppression of any evidence or to an evidentiary hearing. The Court thus DENIES Maxwell's motions to suppress (Dkt. Nos. 133, 139) (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 6/25/21)(jw) (Entered: 07/01/2021)
06/30/2021 305 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: Pursuant to the Court's order of June 25, 2021 (Dkt.

Any proposed redactions to the other documents ordered unsealed in that order must be filed no later than July 2, 2021. The parties shall file a joint letter by each of these dates informing the Court if no redactions are sought. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 6/30/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 06/30/2021)

It also unseals the April 9, 2019 memorandum decision and order on the Governments application to modify the protective order in Giuffre v. Maxwell, No. 15-cv-7433, as well as the transcripts of the March 26, 2019 and April 9, 2019 ex parte hearings on that application, originally filed under seal as Exhibits D, E, F, and G to the memorandum of law in support of Maxwell's first motion to suppress (Dkt.

| 07/30/2021 | 315 | ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Government has moved for an order requiring David Markus to comply with Local Criminal Rule 23.1 following an op-ed that he authored opining on the merits of this pending case, Dkt. No. 309. Mr. Markus is therefore ORDERED to comply with Local Criminal Rule 23.1. The Government does not ask the Court to discipline Mr. Markus based on his op-ed and the Court declines to consider whether it violated Rule 23.1 given the potential lack of clarity with respect to whether Mr. Markus was bound by the rule. The Court emphasizes that the rule provides illustrative examples of statements that "presumptively involve a substantial likelihood that their public dissemination will interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice within the meaning of the rule." S.D.N.Y. Local Criminal Rule 23(d). Going forward, Mr. Markus and all lawyers associated with the pending case are now clearly on notice that their conduct falls under the purview of Local Criminal Rule 23.1. Indeed, the above concerns do not apply only to Mr. Markus. This Court has previously noted that counsel[,] agents for the parties and counsel for potential witnesses must take care to protect the Defendant's right to a fair trial by an impartial jury. Dkt. No. 28. This Court is cognizant that criminal matters heading toward trial are especially sensitive to extrajudicial statements. All those associated with this case must act to ensure the case is tried solely in court or else they risk being deemed responsible for any trial delay or for undermining the integrity of the upcoming trial. See S.D.N.Y. Local Criminal Rule 23.1(h). In addition to the impact it could have on this matter, failure to comply could also result in attorney discipline. Id. Rule 23.1(i).

08/13/2021 318 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On March 19, 2021, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell submitted a sealed and ex parte motion for an order authorizing four subpoenas pursuant to Rule 17(c)(3) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. By sealed order dated March 22, 2021, the Court provided an opportunity for recipients of the subpoenas to respond to the requests by March 30, 2021, but it received no responses. In an Opinion and Order temporarily filed under seal, the Court DENIES Maxwell's motion without prejudice. It does so after concluding that none of the proposed subpoenas conform to the factors first set out in United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 69870 (1974). The Court will send the temporarily sealed Opinion and Order to defense counsel. By August 18, 2021, Maxwell is ORDERED to inform the Court whether she seeks sealing or limited redactions of the Court's opinion and of her original motion papers, justifying any such request by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). In addition, by that date Maxwell shall inform the Court whether she seeks full sealing or redactions of the original motion, again justifying any such request by reference to the Lugosch test. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 8/13/2021) (ap) (Entered: 08/13/2021)
08/13/2021 334 OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell's motion is, at this time, DENIED without prejudice. She may renew any Rule 17(c) applications upon a proper showing that each of the requested materials satisfies the Nixon test, as described above and in the Court's April 27, 2021 and June 2, 2021 Orders. The Court will file this Opinion & Order under temporary seal to allow consideration of any sealing or redaction requests. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

| 10/22/2021 | 364 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: For the reasons stated on the record at yesterday's conference, the Court will implement the following procedures for jury selection: A screening questionnaire will be administered on November 4, 5, and 12. The Clerk's Office will create a corresponding list of names and randomly assigned juror numbers. The list will be provided to counsel and the Court for use throughout jury selection. Jurors will be identified on the questionnaire and in court throughout the process by their assigned number only. Completed questionnaires will be copied and distributed to defense counsel by the U.S. Attorney's Office. After reviewing the completed questionnaires, counsel must confer in good faith and jointly submit four lists: (1) prospective jurors that both sides agree should proceed to voir dire; (2) prospective jurors that both sides agree should be excused; (3) prospective jurors that the defense believes should be excused; and (4) prospective jurors that the defense believes should be excused, but not the Government. Lists for questionnaires completed on November 4 and 5 will be due to the Court via email by November 7. Lists for questionnaires completed on November 12 will be due to the Court via email by November 13. If necessary, there will be an in-person conference on November 15 at 9:30 a.m. to resolve any disputes. Voir dire will proceed on November 16-19. The Court will conduct one-on-one voir dire with each prospective juror in the presence of the parties and with public access to the proceeding. At the conference, both sides indicated the potential need for additional procedures during voir dire under certain circumstances. See Transcript at 1011. As the Court indicated, it will consider proposed narrowly tailored measures that may be necessary during voir dire on a case-by-case basis. See id. at 12. The Court will decide in due course whether the exercise of peremptory strikes will proceed on November 19 or November 29. The Court implements these procedures taking into account the significant publicity this case has garnered, the nature of the charges, and the District's COVID-19 protocols. These procedures are carefully balanced and tailored to ensure the safety of the parties and prospective jurors in light of the continuing pandemic; to ensure juror candor, impartiality, and privacy; and to ensure the First Amendment right to public access of criminal proceedings. Also for the reasons stated on the record at yesterday's conference, the request to seal the parties' proposed questionnaire and voir dire and the Court's draft questionnaire and voir dire until after jury selection is completed is denied. Although the Court has and will continue to implement tailored measures to ensure a fair trial despite significant media interest, see Dkt. Nos. 28, 81, 95, 99, 101, 232, 241, 284, 301, 315, the defense did not justify sealing the entirety of the proposed and draft questionnaires and voir dire. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court's planned individual voir dire process is designed to carefully probe the prior exposure to and the potential influence of any pre-trial media. As noted at the conference, the parties may continue to propose for the Court's consideration, any appropriate and tailored procedures in light of the specific factors related to this case and upcoming trial. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 10/22/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 10/22/2021)

10/31/2021 400 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the Defendant's motion under Federal Rule of Evidence 412, Dkt. No. 378, and the Defendant's motion in limine to exclude under Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993), Dkt. No. 386. The issues raised in the two motions overlap significantly. The Court is required under Federal Rule of Evidence 412 to conduct an in camera hearing. Fed. R. Evid. 412 ("Before admitting evidence under this rule, the court must conduct an in camera hearing and give the victim and parties a right to attend and be heard. Unless the court orders otherwise, the motion, related materials, and the record of the hearing must remain under seal.). In addition, the Court has determined it will conduct a Daubert hearing with respect to the Defendant's motion under Federal Rule of Evidence 702. Because of the overlap in the substance of the motions, the Court will conduct the two proceedings back to back. The Court previously set a tentative date for the Rule 412 Motion hearing as November 5, 2021. Dkt. No. 354. The Court is prepared to proceed with both hearings on that date. Alternatively, the proceedings could be held on either the afternoon of November 9 or the afternoon of November 10. The Government shall confer with its proposed expert regarding availability for the Daubert hearing as well as with alleged victims who wish to attend and be heard at the Rule 412 Motion hearing. After doing so, the parties shall confer with each other as to availability. On or before November 2, 2021, the parties shall jointly file a letter with the Court indicating whether the hearings be held on November 5, 9, or 10. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

particular, for the reasons stated at today's conference, the Court denies the Government's request to redact section ten of the Government's motion in limine. See Dkt. No. 380. The Court will also not permit redactions pertaining to the general description of evidence or anticipated testimony as such redactions are unnecessary to protect the privacy interests of the individuals implicated. Accordingly, the parties must propose more tailored redactions consistent with the Court's discussion at today's conference. The parties are ORDERED to submit the proposals to the Court via email by November 4, 2021. In order to facilitate the Court's review of the requests, the Court requires the parties to submit the proposed redactions as a single document and with the proposed redactions highlighted. The Defendant's proposed redactions should be highlighted in one color, and the Government's a different color. The Court will rule on the proposed redactions expeditiously. SO ORDERED.

11/03/2021 413 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the Defendant's motions for reconsideration. See Dkt. Nos. 407, 408. The Government is hereby ORDERED to respond to Defendant's motion for reconsideration, Dkt. No. 408, on or before November 8, 2021. As to the motion for reconsideration regarding the disclosure of juror names, the Court reminds counsel of the following.

Second, the Court has now resolved the logistical issues regarding the ability to conduct peremptory challenges on November 29 and the Court can now confirm that peremptory strikes will not be exercised until November 29. Finally, as previously indicated, although only 40 qualified jurors are needed for the exercise of peremptory strikes, the Court will seek to qualify approximately 50 to 60 prospective jurors to return on November 29 for the exercise of peremptory strikes. If counsel for either side learns of any additional information that would be a basis for a strike for cause prior to November 29, they shall immediately raise the issue with the Court. Bearing in mind this information, the Government is ORDERED to respond to Defendant's motion for reconsideration, Dkt. No. 407, on or before November 4, 2021. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

In accordance with its prior Order, the Court will ensure access for alleged victims and any members of the Defendant's family. Dkt. No. 344. In order to comply with the District's COVID-19 protocols, the public will be able to access the proceeding in overflow Courtrooms 110 and 506 of the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse. These overflow rooms will have live video and audio feeds of the proceeding. The use of any electronic devices during the proceeding in the overflow rooms is strictly prohibited. The Court anticipates seating capacity in the overflow rooms for at least 50 members of the public. If capacity is reached, no additional persons will be admitted. Per the S.D.N.Y. Response to COVID-19, anyone who appears at any S.D.N.Y. courthouse must complete a questionnaire on the date of the proceeding prior to entering the courthouse.

11/12/2021 458 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the Government's letter motion seeking clarification on two items from the November 1, 2021 pretrial conference. Dkt. No. 455. As to the first item, the Government seeks clarification about the line between permissible and impermissible cross-examination for witnesses testifying under a pseudonym. The Government's suggested level of generality as to permissible cross-examination of the witnesses' careers would unduly curtail the Defendant's Sixth Amendment right to meaningful cross-examination. See United States v. Figueroa, 548 F.3d 222, 227 (2d Cir. 2008). The line of questioning the Government identifies may be relevant to a juror's credibility determination and thus the Court will not limit the Defendant's ability to pursue such questioning on cross-examination. As the Court noted at the November 1 conference, the Defendant may not elicit the name of a specific employer, but the type and genre of employment may be relevant to the jury's assessment of credibilty. Nov. 1, 2021 Transcript at 11-12. As to the second item, the https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?2110870152221896-L_1_0-1 68/113 DOJ-OGR-00020690

The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to file any proposed redactions to the motion papers on the public docket on or before November 22, 2021, justifying any requested redactions by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v.

11/19/2021 477 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On October 29, 2021, Defendant filed a motion in limine to exclude evidence related to Accuser-3. Dkt. Nos. 387, 444. The Court twice heard argument related to this motion, including extensive argument at the November 10, 2021 in camera hearing that was sealed pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412. See generally Nov. 1, 2021 Transcript; Nov. 10, 2021 Transcript. The Court has also considered supplemental briefing from the parties. That briefing has been filed temporarily under seal to permit the parties the opportunity to propose redactions in accordance with Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). In a Memorandum Opinion & Order filed under temporary seal, the Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part the Defendant's motion.

11/19/2021 690 MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Before the Court is the Defendant's fourth motion in limine to "exclude evidence related to Accuser-3," to whom the Court refers as Witness-3, on the grounds that the testimony is not direct evidence of the charged conspiracies and is inadmissible under Federal Rules of Evidence 404(b) and 403. Dkt. Nos. 387, 444. The Court has twice heard argument related to this motion, including argument at the November 10, 2021 in camera hearing that was sealed pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412. See generally Nov. 1, 2021 Transcript; Nov. 10, 2021 Transcript. At the November 1, 2021 hearing, the Court provided a brief explanation of its current position based on the information then before it, but the Court ultimately reserved ruling pending additional briefing. The Court is now in receipt of the parties' additional briefing and accordingly is prepared to resolve the motion.(See Footnote 1 on this Memorandum Opinion & Order). The Government now proffers that the anticipated testimony of Witness-3 will describe how she met the Defendant and her relationship with the Defendant and Mr. Epstein. In particular, Witness-3 is anticipated to testify how Defendant introduced her to Mr. Epstein, how massages progressed to involve sexual activity, and Ms. Maxwell's role in facilitating those massages. Based on all of the information now before the Court, including a substantially more detailed proffer by the Government as to the anticipated testimony, see Gov. Supp. Ltr. at 2-3 (Nov. 5, 2021); see also Dkt.

11/22/2021 691 MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Defense on November 1, 2021, noticed eight expert witnesses. Def. Br., Ex. 1 ("Notice"). Two of those experts, Dr. Park Dietz and Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, are expected to offer opinions that rebut opinions of the Government's expert witness, Dr. Lisa Rocchio. The Government on November 8, 2021, filed a motion to partially preclude the testimony of Dr. Dietz and Dr. Loftus. Dkt. No. 424. The Court has already addressed that motion. On November 15, 2021, the Government moved to fully or partially preclude the testimony of the remaining six experts. The Defense filed a response on November 19, 2021. The Court addressed the admissibility of Dr. Ryan Hall in a separate written opinion. In this opinion, the Court addresses the preliminary admissibility of Bennett Gershman based on the parties' current proffers...[*** See this Memorandum Opinion & Order ***]... III. Conclusion. The Court therefore grants the Government's motion to preclude Gershman's expert testimony. Because this is a preliminary pre-trial ruling, it is possible that facts and circumstances at trial would alter the Court's analysis. In that event, the Defense must re-raise its request to admit Gershman as an expert witness. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 11/22/2021)(bw) (Entered: 06/29/2022)

The Court reserved ruling on the exhibit, pending what was anticipated to be additional testimony. Trial Tr. at 876. The Court now overrules the Defenses objections. The parties are ORDERED to confer and propose a limiting instruction consistent with this ruling on or before today, December 9, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to confer and prepare a stipulation that Government Exhibits 52A, 52D, 52E, 52F, 52G, and 52H are true and correct photocopies of five pages from GX 52.

12/15/2021 | 548 | MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Defense on December 12, 2021, moved to permit three anticipated witnesses to testify under a pseudonym or their first names only. The Government filed a letter opposing this request on December 14, 2021. The Defense's primary contention is that some form of anonymity for its witnesses is justified by the same reasons that the Court permitted three alleged victims and two related government witnesses to testify under pseudonyms. The Court disagrees with this basic premise and denies the Defense's motion....[*** See this https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?2110870152221896-L_1_0-1 82/113 DOJ-OGR-00020704

Memorandum Opinion & Order ***... Last, the Court emphasizes that while it currently denies the Defense's motion, the Defense may of course raise, and the Court will consider, objections that particular lines of questioning into witnesses' backgrounds or lives are irrelevant, cumulative, intended to harass, or otherwise inappropriate. See, e.g., Smith v. Illinois, 390 U.S. 129, 133 (1968) (emphasizing that even when anonymity is not warranted, the court has a duty to protect a witness "from questions which go beyond the bounds of proper cross-examination merely to harass, annoy or humiliate him").

12/16/2021 551 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint letter regarding the admission of prior inconsistent statements. The parties' letter notes "that many of these statements raise one of two questions: (1) must counsel show the witness the prior inconsistent statement under Rule 613(b), and (2) is a statement admissible when the witness affirms that the 3500 material contains the inconsistent statement and also expresses disagreement with the substance." The parties are hereby ORDERED to submit a letter citing authority (beyond the rule itself) for their respective positions. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to indicate each disputed prior inconsistent statement that was read into the record. Letters must be submitted as soon as possible but no later than today, December 16, 2021, at 10:15 p.m. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to docket their respective letters by tomorrow, December 17, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

2022. The parties' briefing should address whether an inquiry of some kind is permitted and/or required, and, if so, the nature of such inquiry. Although the Court reserves decision on whether an inquiry of any kind is warranted, the Court grants the Government's request, Dkt. No. 568, to offer court-appointed counsel to the juror in issue. Subject to the juror's right to decline court-appointed counsel, the Court will appoint the on-duty CJA counsel to represent the juror. If counsel for the juror wishes to be heard on the issue of the appropriateness of an inquiry, briefing by the juror's counsel may be filed by January 26, 2022. The Court will not adjourn post-trial briefing on other issues as requested by the Defense, Dkt. No. 569, but sets the following schedule for any other post-verdict motion by the Defense: Defense motion: February 4, 2022; Government opposition: February 18, 2022; Defense reply: March 4, 2022.

01/12/2022 575 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The parties are ORDERED to submit via email any proposed redactions on or before January 13, 2022, justifying any such request by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). If any redactions are proposed, the Court will determine whether any are appropriate and then docket the motion. The parties shall respond to Juror 50s motion on or before January 20, 2022. Upon further reflection, unless and until Juror No. 50 is permitted to intervene, he may have no standing to be heard on the question of whether an inquiry should be conducted. Accordingly, the Court withdraws the aspect of its prior order setting January 26, 2022, as the date by which counsel for Juror 50 should file a submission on the issue of the appropriateness of an inquiry. Dkt. No. 571. The Court will hear from the parties first regarding Juror 50's pending motion. Depending on the resolution of that motion, the Court will provide further guidance to counsel for Juror 50 regarding any permitted submission. If a further submission is permitted, the Court will provide ECF docketing access to counsel for Juror 50 at that time (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 1/12/22)(jw) (Entered: 01/12/2022)
01/14/2022 576 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court required the parties to indicate whether Juror 50's motion to intervene and to be provided a copy of the jurors completed questionnaire and voir dire should be redacted. Dkt. No. 575. In response, the parties have submitted letters to the Court indicating their differing views on whether Juror 50s motion should be docketed at all. Upon further reflection, the Courtconcludes that it must first address the threshold question of whether an inquiry is permittedand/or required before considering Juror 50s requests. Accordingly, the Court will not consider or act on Juror 50's request to intervene and to be provided a copy of the jurors completed questionnaire and voir dire until the Court receives the parties briefing on the appropriateness of an inquiry and the nature of any such inquiry. The Court will maintain Juror 50's motion temporarily under seal until the Court considers the parties arguments

01/14/2022 577 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint letter regarding a schedule for sentencing and resolution of the severed perjury counts. Dkt. No. 574. The Court hereby schedules the sentencing in this matter for June 28, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. The Court will delay ordering the preparation of a presentence investigation report until April 2022. The Court previously set the schedule for briefing on the new trial motion as well as all other post-verdict motions. Dkt. No. 571. That schedule remains in place. The Court adopts the parties' proposal that the scheduling of any proceedings related to the severed perjury counts be deferred until the post-verdict motions are resolved. By January 18, 2022, the Government shall indicate in a joint letter whether it is seeking an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act for the perjury counts and the basis for any requested exclusion. In the joint letter, the defense shall indicate whether it consents to the proposed exclusion of time (Sentencing set for 6/28/2022 at 11:00 AM before Judge Alison J. Nathan.)

The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this exclusion from speedy trial computations outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial on these counts because the time is necessary for the parties to research and brief post-trial motions.

docket. The Government subsequently submitted one court exhibit with the name unredacted of a witness subject to the Court's anonymity order. Subsequently the Defense indicated in a temporarily sealed letter why the name was unredacted. The Government is accordingly ORDERED to docket a letter on ECF on or before January 28, 2022, indicating why a redaction is no longer being sought for the name of this witness. Once the Government confirms in that letter that it no longer seeks redaction of the name, then the Defense may file the temporarily sealed letter on the docket without redaction of the name. The Court will then docket all Court Exhibits. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 1/26/22)(jw) (Entered: 01/26/2022)
01/26/2022 585 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of Defendant's motion for a new trial and accompanying exhibits, which she requests to file under seal. See Dkt. No. 580. The Court has also received requests from media organizations to unseal the motion. The Court is aware there is substantial public interest in this matter and will ensure that the First Amendment right to public access is fully safeguarded. At the same time, the Court must act deliberately and hear from the parties in considering these sealing issues in order to ensure the integrity of any potential inquiry process going forward, should one be ordered. That too is in the public, as well as the Defendant's and the Government's, interest. Accordingly, to the extent the Defense requests that arguments in favor of sealing should themselves be sealed, that request is DENIED. Arguments in favor of sealing can be made in such a way so as not to undermine the grounds for seeking sealing or redaction in the first instance. The Defense is therefore ORDERED to file a letter on the public docket on or before February 1, 2022, that justifies the proposed sealing by reference to the three-part test in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Government may file on ECF a response to the Defenses justification letter on or before February 4, 2022. The Government's opposition to the Defenses new trial motion is due February 2, 2022, Dkt. No. 571. Per the established practice in this case, the Government must provide a copy via email to the Defense to allow the Defense the opportunity to propose narrowly tailored redactions and/or sealing. If either party proposes redactions to or sealing of the Government's anticipated opposition, a letter justifying such redactions or sealing must be filed on the public docket. The Defense letter must be filed on or before February 8, 2022, and the Government letter must be filed by February 11, 2022. The same process will apply for any Defense reply in support, which is due February 9, 2022, Dkt. No. 571. If redactions or sealing are proposed, the Defense letter justifying such requests would be due February 15, 2022, and the Government letter would be due February 18, 2022. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to address the New York Times Company's motion to unseal the filled-out questionnaires for the twelve seated jurors. See Dkt. No. 583. Letters by both parties must be submitted via ECF on or before February 11, 2022. SO ORDERED (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 1/26/2022)(jw) (Entered: 01/26/2022)

The parties have proposed redactions to several exhibits and the sealing of Court Exhibit 4. The Court concludes that the proposed redactions are consistent with the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006), and narrowly tailored. The redactions serve the purpose of protecting the anonymity of jurors and of victim-witnesses subject to the Court's anonymity order. With respect to Court Exhibit 4, rather than seal the entire document, the Court has redacted the information that would potentially identify the victim-witness who testified pursuant to the Court's anonymity order. Unredacted copies of the Court Exhibits will be filed under seal. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 2/4/2022)(ap) (Entered: 02/04/2022)

| 02/11/2022 | 596 | ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the parties' letters addressing the Defendant's request to temporarily seal her motion for a new trial and accompanying exhibits, and the Government's response in opposition and accompanying exhibits. See Dkt. Nos. 590, 594, 595. Several media organizations have also filed letters seeking unsealing. The Court is also in receipt of Juror 50's motion to intervene. Both the Government and the Defendant oppose intervention. The Defendant seeks to strike or, in the alternative, seal Juror 50's motion.

02/24/2022 607 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the Defendant's proposed redactions revised in response to this Court's order. See Dkt. Nos. 605, 606. The Court has reviewed the proposed redactions and concludes that they are in accordance with its prior orders. See Dkt. Nos. 596, 605. The narrowly tailored redactions further the important interests of helping ensure the integrity of any inquiry and maintaining juror anonymity and privacy. As the Court explained in its February 11 Order, these interests justify redaction of the questions the parties propose be asked at any hearing and specific factual information developed by the parties that has not been publicly reported in the press and that the parties propose be inquired about at any forthcoming hearing. Dkt. No. 596 at 4 (citing United States v. McCoy et al., No. 14 Cr. 6181 (EAW), Dkt. No. 312 (text order) (W.D.N.Y. May 26, 2017); id. Dkt. No. 329 at 38-39; Press-Enter. Co. v. Superior Ct. of Cal., Riverside Cnty., 464 U.S. 501, 511-12 (1984)). Accordingly, the parties are ORDERED to docket the redacted briefs, accompanying exhibits, and their January 13 letters, by February 25, 2022. The Court will docket Juror 50's motion.

02/24/2022 609 MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO INTERVENE AND FOR RELEASE OF SEALED JURY QUESTIONNAIRE AND TRANSCRIPT, ON BEHALF OF PROPOSED INTERVENOR, JUROR 50 as to Ghislaine Maxwell re: 608 MOTION. (ap) (Entered: 02/24/2022)
02/24/2022 610 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: for the reasons fully explained in the Opinion & Order, a hearing is necessary to resolve the Defendant's motion. Because of the important interest in the finality of judgments, the standard for obtaining a post-verdict hearing is high. The Court concludes, and the Government concedes, that the demanding standard for holding a post-verdict evidentiary hearing is met as to whether Juror 50 failed to respond truthfully during the jury selection process to whether he was a victim of sexual abuse. Following trial, Juror 50 made several direct, unambiguous statements to multiple media outlets about his own experience that do not pertain to jury deliberations and that cast doubt on the accuracy of his responses during jury selection. Juror 50's post-trial statements are "clear, strong, substantial and incontrovertible evidence that a specific, non-speculative impropriety"-namely, a false statement during jury selection has occurred. United States v. Baker, 899 F.3d 123, 130 (2d Cir. 2018). To be clear, the potential impropriety is not that someone with a history of sexual abuse may have served on the jury. Rather, it is the potential failure to respond truthfully to questions during the jury selection process that asked for that material information so that any potential bias could be explored. In contrast, the demanding standard for ordering an evidentiary hearing is not met as to the conduct of any other juror. The Court DENIES the request to conduct a hearing with respect to the other jurors. The Court also DENIES the Defendant's request for a broader hearing and pre-hearing discovery. The Court therefore ORDERS that a hearing take place at which the Court will question Juror 50 under oath. The Court further ORDERS that Juror 50's questionnaire be unsealed, for the reasons explained in the Opinion & Order. The Court will email counsel for Juror 50 a copy of his questionnaire and a copy of this Order. As also explained in the Opinion & Order, the Court will conduct the questioning at the public hearing with input from counsel for the Defendant and the Government. The parties may submit by email proposed questions in accordance with the Opinion & Order on or before March 1, 2022. The hearing will take place on March 8, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. The Court ORDERS Juror 50 to appear in Courtroom 906 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York at that date and time to give testimony under oath in response to the Court's questions. The Court will ensure public access and will provide information on public access as soon as it is available. The Court will send the temporarily sealed Opinion & Order to the parties. By noon on February 25, 2022, the parties are ORDERED to inform the Court whether either seeks limited redactions to the Opinion & Order, conforming any requests to this Court's prior order, Dkt. No. 596, and justifying any such request by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006).

| 04/01/2022 | 653 | OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court concludes that Juror 50 testified credibly and truthfully at the post-trial hearing. His failure to disclose his prior sexual abuse during the jury selection process was highly unfortunate, but not deliberate. The Court further concludes that Juror 50 harbored no bias toward the Defendant and could serve as a fair and impartial juror. The requirements for a new trial under McDonough are not satisfied. The Defendant's motion for a new trial pursuant to Rule 33 is therefore DENIED. The Court orders the preparation of the presentence investigation report. With respect to Counts 7 and 8, the Court hereby excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), from today's date through April 22, 2022. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this exclusion from speedy trial computations outweigh the interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial on these counts because the pending post-trial motions affect the scheduling considerations set forth in the Government's January 10, 2022 letter. See Dkt. No. 574. The Defendant consents to this exclusion. Dkt. No. 650. The Court will rule on the Defendant's remaining post-verdict motions in due course. Sentencing remains scheduled for June 28, 2022. This resolves docket numbers 613, 614, 642, 650, and 651. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

After conferring with the Probation Office, the Court determines that advancing the PSR disclosure schedule will aid the parties in preparing their sentencing submissions. Further the Court hereby adjusts its standard sentencing submission schedule to ensure sufficient time to prepare for sentencing. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the following schedule for sentencing: May 24, 2022 - First PSR disclosure; May 31, 2022 - Defendant objections due; June 6, 2022 - Government response due; June 9, 2022 - Second PSR disclosure; June 15, 2022 - Defendant sentencing submission due; |

June 22, 2022 - Government sentencing submission due; June 28, 2022 - Sentencing. This resolves Dkt. No. 655. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 4/26/2022) (bw) (Entered: 04/26/2022)
04/29/2022 | 657 | OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell....[*** See this Opinion & Order ***]...V. Conclusion. For the foregoing reasons, the Court denies the Defendant's Rule 29 motion because the jury's guilty verdicts were supported by the witness testimony and documentary evidence presented at trial. The Court denies the Defendant's motion based on constructive amendment or variance because the Government's evidence at trial, and summation all captured the core of criminality charged in the Indictment, and the Defendant was not prejudiced by any alleged variance. Further, because the Government neither intentionally delayed its prosecution nor was the Defendant prejudiced by any delay, the Court also denies the Defendant's motion based on pre-indictment delay. Finally, the Court grants the Defendant's motion as to multiplicity. The Government concedes that Count One is multiplicitous with Count Three, and the Court further concludes that Count Five is multiplicitous with Count Three. Count Five, like Counts One and Three, charged the Defendant's participation in the same decade-long unlawful agreement with the Defendant's continuous coconspirator, Jeffrey Epstein, to groom and sexually abuse underage girls. Accordingly, the Court will enter judgment of conviction on Counts Three, Four, and Six. The Defendant's sentencing date remains scheduled for June 28, 2022. The Court previously set a schedule for sentencing submissions that remains in effect. Dkt. No. 656. This resolves Dkt. No. 599. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

06/27/2022 686 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court has now received and docketed the full set of submissions related to victim impact statements that were filed in accordance with this Court's prior order. Dkt. No. 668. The Court received statements from Annie Farmer, Kate, Virginia Giuffre, Maria Farmer, Sarah Ransome, Teresa Helm, Juliette Bryant, and Elizabeth Stein. As indicated in its prior order, the Court will exercise its discretion to permit all of these individuals to be heard in writing. Dkt. No. 682. The Court also denied the Defendants redaction requests. Id. All unredacted statements are now part of the record. Dkt. Nos. 674, 675-1. Also as previously indicated in its order, the Court will permit Annie Farmer, Kate, and Virginia Giuffre to make an oral statement at sentencing if they wish to do so. Dkt. No. 682. Further, having now reviewed the full set of requests, and having heard from the Government that it does not object, Dkt. No. 678, the Court deems it feasible to exercise its discretion to permit the remaining individuals who seek to themselves make an oral statement at sentencing to do so. They are: Teresa Helm, Sarah Ransome, and Elizabeth Stein. In order to feasibly accomplish this in light of the anticipated length of the sentencing proceeding, while ensuring fairness and avoiding delay of sentencing, each individual speaking orally may read a shortened version of their previously submitted written statement. The Court deems counsel for the individuals to be responsible for ensuring that anticipated statements conform to this requirement. The Government shall promptly provide copies of this order to counsel for the eight individuals who submitted statements. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

2/22/23, 1:25 PM SDNY CM/ECF NextGen Version 1.6
07/13/2022 726 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the parties' proposed redactions to motions that were not previously docketed. See Dkt. No. 698. With one exception, the Court concludes that the proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to protect information subject to Fed. R. Evid. 412 and the privacy interests of witnesses, including individuals subject to the Court's pseudonym order, and individuals who were anticipated to be called as witnesses at trial, but were not ultimately called. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court will file unredacted copies of all items under seal. The Court concludes, however, that the proposed redactions to Dkt. No. 725 are not narrowly tailored. The private information of victim-witnesses who are discussed in the letter may be protected by narrow redactions. However, there is no basis to redact the letter's general request to identify the proper scope of cross-examination. Accordingly, the Defendant is ORDERED to confer with the Government and docket proposed revised redactions on or before 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022. The letter at Dkt. No. 725 was filed under temporary seal at Dkt. No. 712. Because the Court concludes that sealing in not justified, the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to strike the entry at Dkt. No. 712 from the docket. The Court's Chambers also received an email from Defense counsel inquiring whether to docket three joint letters regarding jury strikes that were previously filed with the Court, but not docketed. Because docketing the letters would not undermine the important interest of protecting juror anonymity and privacy, the parties are ORDERED to docket the three letters on or before 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022. Finally, to ensure a complete record, the Court has identified four additional documents that have not previously been docketed nor subject to a sealing request: November 19, 2021 Administrator Feldman's Motion to Quash Defendant's Rule 17(c)(3) subpoena, with exhibits November 22, 2021 Defendant's Response to Motions to Quash Defendant's Rule 17(c)(3) subpoena December 6, 2021 Jane's Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Call Counsel to Testify December 15, 2021 Jane's Opposition to Defendant's December 13, 2021 Motion to Call Counsel to Testify The parties are ORDERED to confer with each other and counsel for the relevant movants and indicate on or before 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022, whether there are requests to seal or redact the outstanding documents. Any documents not subject to a sealing request must be docketed on ECF by that same date. Any proposed redactions must be justified by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga. This resolves Dkt. No. 698.

sentenced not later than October 26, 2007. The United States has no objection to Epstein self-reporting to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008.
12. Epstein agrees that he will not be afforded any benefits with respect to gain time, other than the rights, opportunities, and benefits as any other inmate, including but not limited to, eligibility for gain time credit based on standard rules and regulations that apply in the State of Florida. At the United States' request, Epstein agrees to provide an accounting of the gain time he earned during his period of incarceration.
13. The parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part of any public record. If the United States receives a Freedom of Information Act request or any compulsory process commanding the disclosure of the agreement, it will provide notice to Epstein before making that disclosure.
Epstein understands that the United States Attorney has no authority to require the State Attorney's Office to abide by any terms of this agreement. Epstein understands that it is his obligation to undertake discussions with the State Attorney's Office and to use his best efforts to ensure compliance with these procedures, which compliance will be necessary to satisfy the United States' interest. Epstein also understands that it is his obligation to use his best efforts to convince the Judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit to accept Epstein's binding recommendation regarding the sentence to be imposed, and understands that the failure to do so will be a breach of the agreement.
In consideration of Epstein's agreement to plead guilty and to provide compensation in the manner described above, if Epstein successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Leslie Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova. Further, upon execution of this agreement and a plea agreement with the State Attorney's Office, the federal Grand Jury investigation will be suspended, and all pending federal Grand Jury subpoenas will be held in abeyance unless and until the defendant violates any term of this agreement. The defendant likewise agrees to withdraw his pending motion to intervene and to quash certain grand jury subpoenas. Both parties agree to maintain their evidence, specifically evidence requested by or directly related to the grand jury subpoenas that have been issued, and including certain computer equipment, inviolate until all of the terms of this agreement have been satisfied. Upon the successful completion of the terms of this agreement, all outstanding grand jury subpoenas shall be deemed withdrawn.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
USDC SDNY DOCUMENT ELECTRONICALLY FILED DOC#: DATE FILED: 8/13/21
United States of America,
-v-
Ghislaine Maxwell,
Defendant.
20-cr-330 (AJN)
OPINION & ORDER
ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge:
On April 16, 2021, the Court issued an Opinion & Order granting in part and denying in part Ghislaine Maxwell's various pretrial motions seeking to dismiss portions of the Government's (S1) superseding indictment and compel discovery. Prior to the issuance of that Opinion & Order but after the motions were fully briefed, a grand jury returned a second (S2) superseding indictment adding a sex trafficking count and sex trafficking conspiracy count. The Court did not address the new charges in the April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. On May 25, 2021, Maxwell filed another round of pretrial motions seeking to dismiss the S2 indictment in whole or in part and to compel discovery. Dkt. No. 292, 293. For appeal preservation purposes or otherwise, the arguments largely, though not entirely, rehash the positions rejected by the Court in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. To the extent new arguments are made, they are addressed below. All pending motions are DENIED. The Court provides a brief summary of its conclusions here and its reasoning on the pages that follow:
- Maxwell moves to dismiss counts one, three, five, and six as barred by Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that the agreement does not bind the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

A-189
- Maxwell moves to dismiss counts five and six on the grounds that prosecuting her on those counts would violate her rights under the Double Jeopardy Clause. The Court concludes that Maxwell has not previously been put in jeopardy for these offenses and therefore her prosecution on these counts does not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause.
- Maxwell moves to dismiss counts five and six as untimely. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that the Government brought the charges within the applicable statute of limitations.
- Maxwell moves to dismiss count five and either count one or count three as multiplicitous. The Court again determines, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that this motion is premature and denies it without prejudice for renewal at trial.
- Maxwell moves to dismiss the S2 indictment for pre-indictment delay. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that Maxwell has not established that she suffered prejudice and therefore any delay has not violated her rights to due process.
- Maxwell moves for a bill of particulars related to counts five and six because they are too vague, and in particular do not provide specific dates. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that the charges are sufficiently specific.
- Maxwell moves to compel the Government to produce the statements of "Minor-Victim 4" in the S2 indictment as Brady material. The Court concludes that the current disclosure schedule gives Maxwell sufficient time to make effective use of any such statements and therefore immediate disclosure is not warranted.
I. Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement does not bar the charges in the S2 indictment
In its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order on Maxwell's first set of pretrial motions, the Court held that the non-prosecution agreement ("NPA") between Jeffrey Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida did not bar the charges against Maxwell in the S1 superseding indictment. See United States v. Maxwell, No. 20-cr-330 (AJN), 2021 WL 1518675, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 16, 2021). Maxwell now renews those arguments for the charges in the S2 superseding indictment. The Court understands the primary purpose of Maxwell's renewed motion to be to preserve these arguments for appellate review, and the Court denies the

A-190
renewed motion for substantially the same reasons set forth in its April 16 opinion. The Court will proceed to briefly explain why neither the new charges in the S2 superseding indictment nor the supplemental authority Maxwell cites change the Court's conclusion that the NPA does not bar the charges against her.
As the Court explained in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Second Circuit held in United States v. Annabi that "[a] plea agreement binds only the office of the United States Attorney for the district in which the plea is entered unless it affirmatively appears that the agreement contemplates a broader restriction." 771 F.2d 670, 672 (2d Cir. 1985) (per curiam). The Second Circuit's opinion in Annabi is clear, and that court has followed it steadfastly since. See, e.g., United States v. Gonzalez, 93 F. App'x 268, 270 (2d Cir. 2004); United States v. Brown, No. 99-1230(L), 2002 WL 3424494, at *2 (2d Cir. Apr. 26, 2002); United States v. Salemah, 152 F.3d 88, 120 (2d Cir. 1998) (per curiam); United States v. Rivera, 844 F.2d 916, 923 (2d Cir. 1988). The Second Circuit has held that language nearly identical to that in Epstein's NPA is not enough to overcome the presumption in favor of single-district plea agreements. See Salemah, 152 F.3d at 120. Adhering to this binding authority, this Court thus concluded (and continues to conclude) that the NPA does not bind the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. It thus provides Maxwell no defense in this case even if it would otherwise cover the conduct charged in the new counts in the S2 superseding indictment.
Maxwell advances two new arguments for why the Court should depart from this reasoning—the first in her renewed motion and the second in a letter of supplemental authority. See Dkt. Nos. 293, 310. In her renewed motion, she contends that Annabi contains an exception for out-of-district prosecutions for charges that are "identical to the dismissed charges." And in the letter of supplemental authority, she contends that the opinion of the Pennsylvania Supreme
3

--- PAGE BREAK ---
Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page195 of 208
A-191
Court in Commonwealth v. Cosby, No. 39 MAP 2020, 2021 WL 2674380 (Pa. June 30, 2021), requires dismissal. Neither argument is persuasive.
Annabi contains no exception for out-of-district prosecutions for charges that are "identical to the dismissed charges." In the language Maxwell cites from Annabi, the Second Circuit discussed (and rejected) a claim based on the Double Jeopardy Clause, not a claim based on the plea agreement in that case. See Annabi, 771 F.2d at 672. In that section of the opinion, the Second Circuit held that even if the charges had been identical to the dismissed charges, the defendants' double jeopardy claims would fail because they were never in jeopardy on the charges that were dismissed under the plea agreement. Nothing in Annabi suggests that the presumption in favor of single-district plea agreements does not apply if later charges in another district are sufficiently "identical" to the dismissed ones, and no subsequent Second Circuit case applying Annabi has so held. Annabi applies squarely to the facts of this case and binds this Court.
The Court also disagrees that Cosby mandates a different result. To begin with, this Court must follow the precedential opinions of the Second Circuit on questions of federal law, not those of a state court. Thus, nothing in Cosby could change this Court's view that Second Circuit precedent in Annabi forecloses Maxwell's arguments related to the NPA. In any event, the state court in Cosby did not purport to decide the same federal question at issue here. In Cosby, the court held that it was unfair for a district attorney to proceed with charges against Bill Cosby after the district attorney's office had, in that court's view of the facts, unequivocally promised that it would not charge him. Cosby, 2021 WL 2674380, at *34. That case did not involve a question of whether one office's promise bound another, much less whether a plea agreement in one federal district should be construed to apply in another district. Instead, the

Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page196 of 208
A-192
case focused on whether prosecutors were required to honor a promise that the court found to be clear in the absence of a formal plea agreement. Even if this Court agreed with the analysis in Cosby, that opinion sheds no light on the proper interpretation of the NPA in this case.
After considering the arguments in Maxwell's renewed motion and letter of supplemental authority, the Court's view remains unchanged from its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. Under Second Circuit precedent, the NPA does not bind the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. It thus does not bar the charges in the S2 superseding indictment.
II. This prosecution does not violate the prohibition against double jeopardy
The Double Jeopardy Clause provides that "[n]o person shall be . . . subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb." U.S. Const. amend. V. "This protection applies both to successive punishments and to successive prosecutions for the same criminal offense." United States v. Dixon, 509 U.S. 688, 696 (1993). "A defendant may only raise a Double Jeopardy claim if he has been put in jeopardy (i.e. jeopardy has 'attached') sometime before the alleged 'second' prosecution." United States v. Podde, 105 F.3d 813, 816 (2d Cir. 1997). A defendant is put in jeopardy when the jury in their case is empaneled or upon the defendant's entry of a guilty plea. Crist v. Bretz, 437 U.S. 28, 35 (1978); Morris v. Reynolds, 264 F.3d 38, 49 (2d Cir. 2001). Until then, a defendant has not been put in jeopardy and the Government is free to commence a prosecution.
Maxwell has not previously been put in jeopardy for the offenses charged in this case. She concededly has not been punished or prosecuted for any prior offense. She was never charged in the Southern District of Florida in connection with the Epstein investigation. She agreed to nothing in Epstein's NPA, because she was not a party to it. She suffered no criminal consequences as a result of Epstein's guilty plea in Florida state court. To the contrary, there is

--- PAGE BREAK ---
Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page197 of 208
A-193
no indication that Maxwell was even a subject of the Florida investigation. The Double Jeopardy Clause bars only successive prosecution or punishment for the same offense, and Maxwell has endured neither. Thus, the Double Jeopardy Clause does not bar the charges against her.
Despite facing no prior prosecution or punishment herself, Maxwell contends that she is immune from prosecution because Epstein was already punished for the same conspiracy. The cases she cites, however, deal with successive prosecutions of a particular defendant for the same conspiracy, not separate prosecutions of individual co-conspirators. See, e.g., United States v. Lopez, 356 F.3d 463, 469 (2d Cir. 2004). The Double Jeopardy Clause does not require all co-conspirators be tried together for related offenses. See Zafiro v. United States, 506 U.S. 534, 539 (1993); United States v. Hinton, 543 F.2d 1002, 1014 (2d Cir. 1976). Whether the Government could have charged Epstein again in this case has nothing to do with Maxwell's rights under the Double Jeopardy Clause.
Maxwell finally points to one case in which the Second Circuit held that a subsequent prosecution might not be permissible against a defendant whose charges were dismissed after her husband pleaded guilty. Dkt. No. 293 at 19 (citing United States v. Cambindo Valencia, 609 F.2d 603 (2d Cir. 1979)). However, the Court agrees with the Government that the result in Cambindo Valencia rested on the terms of the husband's plea agreement, not the Double Jeopardy Clause. See Cambindo Valencia, 609 F.2d at 638. No precedent stands for the proposition that an uncharged co-conspirator is put in jeopardy when another co-conspirator accepts a non-prosecution agreement. This is the first case in which Maxwell will be put in jeopardy for these offenses, and so this prosecution does not put her in jeopardy a second time.

III. Counts five and six are not time-barred
For most non-capital offenses, the statute of limitations under federal law is five years. 18 U.S.C. § 3282(a). Congress has enacted longer limitations periods for certain crimes, in particular for "offense[s] involving the sexual or physical abuse, or kidnapping" of a minor in 18 U.S.C. § 3283. Prior to 2003, the limitations period in § 3283 lasted until the victim reached the age of 25, and then Congress extended the limitations period to the life of the victim with the PROTECT Act of 2003, Pub. L. No. 108-21, 117 Stat 60. In 2006, Congress enacted 18 U.S.C. § 3299, which eliminated the statute of limitations for the sex trafficking of minors in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591 and for some other sex crimes. See 18 U.S.C. § 3299 ("Notwithstanding any other law, an indictment may be found or an information instituted at any time without limitation for any offense under . . . section 1591.")
In her previous motion, Maxwell argued that the Mann Act charges against her in the indictment were time-barred on the grounds that the extended limitations period § 3283 was not applicable. The Court denied that motion in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *5. Maxwell now argues that the new charges the Government has brought against her in the S2 indictment, Sex Trafficking Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 371) and Sex Trafficking (18 U.S.C. § 1591), are time-barred as well because § 3283 does not apply to those offenses either. She renews her contention from her previous motion that the limitations period in § 3283 only applies to offenses which "necessarily entail" the sexual abuse of a minor and argues that a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591 does not. Thus, according to Maxwell's reasoning, the general five-year statute of limitations period in 18 U.S.C. § 3282(a) applies to the sex trafficking counts and, because the alleged conduct occurred from 2001 to 2004, the Government is now time-barred for prosecuting her for these offenses.

A-195
The Court denies this motion for substantially similar reasons as those discussed in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. As an initial matter, the Court reiterates that Maxwell's analysis of § 3283 is incorrect. As the Court explained, § 3283 does not call for a "categorical approach" nor an "essential ingredient" test, but instead requires that the defendant's conduct in that particular case involved the sexual abuse of a minor. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675 at *5-7. Here, there is no question that Maxwell is alleged to have engaged in activity that constitutes the sexual abuse of a minor with respect to the sex trafficking counts.
But in any event, as the Government pointed out in its brief - and as Maxwell did not contest in her reply - § 3283 is not the only statute of limitations that applies to the sex trafficking counts. As discussed above, in 2006, Congress enacted § 3299 to eliminate altogether the limitations period for the offense of sex trafficking children in violation of § 1591. See 18 U.S.C. § 3299.
Moreover, while the alleged sex trafficking in the S2 indictment is alleged to have occurred prior to the enactment of § 3299 in 2006, the Court holds that the provision nonetheless applies retroactively to cover that conduct. In its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Court analyzed § 3283 under the Landgraf v. USA Film Products, 511 U.S. 244, 280 (1994) framework and concluded that the limitations period applied retroactively so long as the previous limitations period had not yet expired. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *7-8. Similar to § 3283, which states that "[n]o statute of limitations that would otherwise preclude prosecution" shall apply, the language of § 3299 provides that an indictment may be instituted at any time for certain offenses "[n]otwithstanding any other law." As discussed in the Court's previous opinion with respect to § 3283, this kind of language unambiguously requires that the limitations period apply retroactively to prosecutions for offenses committed before the date of enactment so long as the
8
DOJ-OGR-00020817
--- PAGE BREAK ---
Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page200 of 208
A-196
applicable limitations period has not yet run - offenses that by definition are those for which "other law[s]" of limitation would otherwise bar prosecution. See 18 U.S.C. § 3299. Moreover, as the Court also explained, not only does this kind of language unambiguously require retroactivity, it also does not result in any impermissible retroactive effects so long as it does not revive time-barred claims. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *7-8. The Court therefore joins multiple other district courts in concluding that, like § 3283, § 3299 applies retroactively to offenses for which the previous limitations period has not yet run. See United States v. Nader, 425 F. Supp. 3d 619, 629 (E.D. Va. 2019); United States v. Pierre-Louis, No. 16 CR 541 (CM), 2018 WL 4043140, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 9, 2018); United States v. Vickers, No. 13-CR-128-A, 2014 WL 1838255, at *8 (W.D.N.Y. May 8, 2014); United States v. Senasi, No. 3:08-CR-253 (WWE), 2010 WL 2351484, at *3 (D. Conn. June 7, 2010).
The sex trafficking charges are therefore not time-barred. Regardless of whether it was the general five-year limitations period in § 3282(a) or the extended limitations period for sexual abuse of minors in § 3283 that was applicable to Maxwell's alleged conduct prior to the enactment of § 3299 in 2006, neither had expired by that date. Thus, as Maxwell does not contest, § 3299 applies retroactively to the sex trafficking offenses in the indictment and the Government is permitted to bring those charges without time limitation.
IV. Maxwell's motion to dismiss count five and either count one or count three as multiplicitous is premature
In her previous motions, Maxwell argued that either count one or count three of the S1 indictment, the Mann Act conspiracy charges, must be dismissed because the counts are multiplicitous. In the Court's April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Court joined many other courts in this Circuit holding that pretrial motions of this sort are premature in light of United States v. Josephberg, 459 F.3d 350, 355 (2d Cir. 2006), and the Court dismissed without

A-197
prejudice. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *14. In the instant motion, Maxwell similarly argues that count five of the S2 indictment, the sex trafficking conspiracy charge, is duplicative of either counts one or three. Maxwell's motion is denied without prejudice for the reasons stated in the Court's April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order.
V. The Government's delay in bringing the charges did not violate due process
Maxwell also renews her motion to dismiss the S2 indictment based on alleged improper pretrial delay. In its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Court denied Maxwell's motion, concluding that her efforts to show actual and substantial prejudice fell far short of the "stringent standard" necessary to prevail on such a claim. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *9. Maxwell's motion to dismiss the S2 on these grounds fails for the same reasons. As before, nothing in the record indicates that the Government's delay in bringing these charges was designed to thwart Maxwell's ability to prepare a defense. However, it is sufficient to conclude that Maxwell does not make the strong showing of prejudice required to support this sort of claim. Maxwell contends that the Government's delay in bringing charges has prejudiced her interests because potential witnesses have died, others have forgotten, and records have been lost or destroyed. It is highly speculative that any of these factors would make a substantial difference in her case.
The Court thus again concludes for the reasons stated in the April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that Maxwell has failed to establish actual prejudice from the Government's delay in bringing charges. She may renew her motion if the factual record at trial shows otherwise. On the present record, neither the applicable statute of limitations nor due process bars the charges here.

VI. No bill of particulars is warranted
Maxwell moves for a bill of particulars as to counts five and six. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 7 requires that an indictment contain "a plain, concise, and definite written statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged[.]" The indictment must be specific enough to inform the defendant of the charges and allow the defendant to plead double jeopardy in a later prosecution based on the same events. See United States v. Stavroulakis, 952 F.2d 686, 693 (2d Cir. 1992). "Under this test, an indictment need do little more than to track the language of the statute charged and state the time and place (in approximate terms) of the alleged crime." United States v. Tramunti, 513 F.2d 1087, 1113 (2d Cir. 1975).
"Rule 7(f) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure permits a defendant to seek a bill of particulars in order to identify with sufficient particularity the nature of the charge pending against him, thereby enabling defendant to prepare for trial, to prevent surprise, and to interpose a plea of double jeopardy should he be prosecuted a second time for the same offense." United States v. Bortnovsky, 820 F.2d 572, 574 (2d Cir. 1987). "The purpose of a bill of particulars is to supplement the allegations in the indictment when necessary to (1) enable the defendant to prepare his defense, (2) avoid unfair surprise to the defendant at trial, and (3) preclude a second prosecution of the same offense." United States v. Mandell, 710 F. Supp. 2d 368, 384 (S.D.N.Y. 2010)). On the other hand, the Court must balance these interests against the harm to the Government from restricting its proof at trial. See United States v. Rajaratnam, No. 09-cr-1184 (RJH), 2010 WL 2788168, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Jul. 13, 2010).
In her previous motions, Maxwell argued that the Mann Act counts in the indictment should be dismissed for lack of specificity or that, in the alternative, the Court should compel the Government to submit a bill of particulars providing greater detail of the charges. Maxwell

contended specifically that the indictment is too vague because it refers to open-ended time periods for the Mann Act counts. The Court disagreed in light of Circuit precedent requiring only that an indictment describe the time and place of the charged conduct in "approximate terms" and permitting the use of "on or about" language to describe the window of when a violation occurred. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *10 (citing Tramunti, 513 F.2d at 1113; United States v. Nersesian, 824 F.2d 1294, 1323 (2d Cir. 1987)). The Court explained that approximate time periods are particularly appropriate if the allegations involved ongoing conduct and especially if the indictment alleges sexual abuse against minor victims. Id. (citing United States v. Young, No. 08-cr-285 (KMK), 2008 WL 4178190, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 4, 2008)).
Maxwell now again moves for a bill of particulars. Maxwell primarily argues that the S2 indictment does not provide specific dates for the conduct alleged with respect to the sex trafficking counts. Instead, the S2 indictment provides a four-year time period from 2001 to 2004 in which the alleged sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy occurred. Maxwell's motion in this respect is denied for the same reasons stated in the Court's April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. The indictment alleges ongoing conduct that involve the sexual abuse of minors with respect to counts five and six and therefore the approximate time period provided is sufficient. Accordingly, the motion for a bill of particulars is denied.1
VII. The current disclosure schedule for impeachment material is adequate
Finally, Maxwell moves to compel the immediate disclosure of any of Minor Victim's prior statements in which she did not mention Maxwell, including prior statements made to the
1 Additionally, Maxwell includes in her motion for a bill of particulars a request to require the government to identify the unnamed co-conspirators who allegedly participated in the conspiracies charged in the S2 indictment. Maxwell also made this request in the parties' joint May 21, 2021 letter to the Court regarding the disclosure schedule. Dkt. No. 291. In both her motion and the May 21, 2021 letter, Maxwell requests that this information be disclosed to the defense at the same time that the Government discloses Jencks Act material. The Government has not opposed this request. In the absence

FBI. The Court has ordered the Government to disclose all Jencks Act and Giglio material by October 11, 2021. Dkt. No. 297 at 1. That date is seven weeks in advance of trial. The Court sees no reason to depart from the rule in this district that impeachment material of anticipated witnesses does not warrant an order compelling immediate disclosure. See United States v. Campo Flores, No. 15 Cr. 765 (PAC), 2016 WL 5946472, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 12, 2016). Seven weeks in advance of trial is far more time than is standard in this district and no showing has been made that it will be insufficient for Maxwell to make effective use of the information in preparation of her defense.
To the extent Maxwell argues that the Government is in possession of prior statements that are exculpatory under Brady (for example, if a witness denied Maxwell's involvement), rather than useful only for standard impeachment purposes, it is of course the Government's obligation to "disclose such information to the defense promptly after its existence becomes known to the Government so that the defense may make effective use of the information in the preparation of its case." Dkt. 68 at 1. The context of questions and answers surely matters as to whether a statement (or omission) is exculpatory, impeaching, or neither. It is for the Government to make these assessments ex ante and fully meet its disclosure obligations so that the defense may make effective use of any such information in preparation for trial. See United States v. Coppa, 267 F.3d 132, 144-46 (2d Cir. 2001). The Government has repeatedly confirmed that it understands those obligations, and that it has met them and will continue to meet them. Accordingly, the motion to compel the immediate disclosure of any of Minor Victim-4's prior statements in which she did not mention Maxwell is denied.
of objection, the Court presumes the Government intends to disclose this information to Maxwell at the same time that as it discloses Jencks Act material.

Conclusion
For the reasons above and in this Court's April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Court DENIES Maxwell's motion to obtain relief specified in her supplemental pre-trial motions relating to the S2 indictment. This resolves Dkt. No. 292.

1 travel across state lines with the intent that she would engage
2 in sexual activity for which a person could be charged with a
3 crime under the penal law of New York State, namely, New York
4 Penal Law Section 130.55. I instruct you as a matter of law
5 that sexual abuse in the third degree -- the offense set forth
6 in Count Two of the indictment -- was a violation of New York
7 State Penal Law from in or about 1994, up to and including in or
8 about 1997, at the time the acts are alleged to have been
9 committed.
10 A person violates New York State Penal Law Section
11 130.55, sexual abuse in the third degree, when he or she
12 subjects another person to sexual contact without the latter's
13 consent. Under New York law, "sexual contact" means any
14 touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person for
15 the purpose of gratifying the sexual desire of either party.
16 It includes the touching of the victim by the actor, whether
17 directly or through clothing; as well as the emission of
18 ejaculate by the actor upon any part of the victim, clothed or
19 unclothed.
20 Also under New York law, lack of consent can result
21 from incapacity to consent. A person less than 17 years old is
22 deemed incapable of consenting to sexual contact under New York
23 law. Thus, the law deems sexual contact with a person less
24 than 17 years old to be without that person's consent even if,
25 in fact, that person did consent. However, in order to find

6 individual under the age of 17 to engage in illegal sexual

8 The relevant statute for Count Four is Title 18, United States

10 transports any individual under the age of 17 years in interstate
11 commerce, with the intent that such individual engage in any

18 In order to prove the defendant guilty of Count Four, the

20 the crime beyond a reasonable doubt:
21 First, that the defendant knowingly transported an individual in
22 interstate commerce as alleged in the indictment.
23 Second, that the defendant transported the individual with the
24 intent that the individual would engage in sexual activity for
25 which any person can be charged with a criminal offense under New

Instruction No. 20. Count Four. Transportation of an individual under the age of 17 to engage in illegal sexual activity. First element.
The first element of Count Four which the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt is that Ms. Maxwell knowingly transported Jane in interstate commerce as alleged in the indictment. The phrase "to transport an individual in interstate commerce" means to move or carry or cause someone to be moved or carried from one state to another.
The government does not have to prove that Ms. Maxwell personally transported Jane across a state line; it is sufficient to satisfy the element that Ms. Maxwell was actively engaged, either personally or through an agent, in the making of the travel arrangements such as by purchasing tickets necessary for Jane to travel as planned. Ms. Maxwell must have knowingly transported or caused the transportation of Jane in interstate commerce. That means that the government must prove that Ms. Maxwell knew both that she was causing Jane to be transported and that Jane was being transported in interstate commerce. As I've explained, an act is done knowingly when it's done voluntarily and intentionally and not because of

Appellant Ghislaine Maxwell's Reply in Support of Her Motion for Pretrial Release
The Government's Response underscores why this Court should order bail for Ghislaine Maxwell so that she can prepare for trial. The court below erred in accepting the Government's conclusory proffer without any actual evidence. And the conditions of her confinement make it impossible for her to effectively prepare her defense. The Government concedes that Ms. Maxwell is not a danger to the community, and her proposed bail package demonstrates that she is not a risk of flight. Accordingly, she should be released on bail.
At the very least, this matter should be remanded to the district court to conduct a real bail hearing to (1) test the actual strength of the Government's case, and (2) determine whether Ms. Maxwell should be granted temporary release so that she can effectively prepare for trial, which she cannot do under the current conditions of confinement.
Relying almost entirely on a regurgitation of quotations from the lower court (the first 26 of the 43-paragraph pleading is labeled "Facts"), only ten paragraphs, labeled "Discussion," even attempt to address Ms. Maxwell's arguments. As much as the Government would prefer that Ms. Maxwell not have a fair fight, this Court must level the playing field so

IT APPEARING that Epstein seeks to resolve globally his state and federal criminal liability and Epstein understands and acknowledges that, in exchange for the benefits provided by this agreement, he agrees to comply with its terms, including undertaking certain actions with the State Attorney's Office;
IT APPEARING, after an investigation of the offenses and Epstein's background by both State and Federal law enforcement agencies, and after due consultation with the State Attorney's Office, that the interests of the United States, the State of Florida, and the Defendant will be served by the following procedure;
THEREFOR, on the authority of R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, prosecution in this District for these offenses shall be deferred in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, provided that Epstein abides by the following conditions and the requirements of this Agreement set forth below.
If the United States Attorney should determine, based on reliable evidence, that, during the period of the Agreement, Epstein willfully violated any of the conditions of this Agreement, then the United States Attorney may, within ninety (90) days following the expiration of the term of home confinement discussed below, provide Epstein with timely notice specifying the condition(s) of the Agreement that he has violated, and shall initiate its prosecution on any offense within sixty (60) days' of giving notice of the violation. Any notice provided to Epstein pursuant to this paragraph shall be provided within 60 days of the United States learning of facts which may provide a basis for a determination of a breach of the Agreement.
After timely fulfilling all the terms and conditions of the Agreement, no prosecution for the offenses set out on pages 1 and 2 of this Agreement, nor any other offenses that have been the subject of the joint investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Attorney's Office, nor any offenses that arose from the Federal Grand Jury investigation will be instituted in this District, and the charges against Epstein if any, will be dismissed.

that the presumption of innocence is more than mere words on a page.
This Reply responds to the arguments the Government does raise:
1. The Court did not conduct a “lengthy bail hearing.” Resp.¶2.
The transcript of the video arraignment and bail hearing spans only 91 pages, with the bail arguments on pages 22-79. The Government did not present any actual evidence at this brief hearing. Br.7-8,19-21. During the bail hearing, each time the Government mentioned the strength of its case, it cited to the Indictment. See, e.g., Ex.D, p.24(“Turning first to the strength of the evidence, the indictment in this case arises … . The indictment further charges that …”); pg. 25 (“The indictment makes plain … it was an ongoing scheme … Given the strength of the government’s evidence … there is an incredibly strong incentive for the defendant to flee …”). The court erred in agreeing that the Indictment itself demonstrates strength. Id. at 82 (“[I]t is appropriate to consider the strength of the evidence proffered by the government in assessing risk of flight. The government’s evidence at this early juncture of the case appears strong. Although the charged conduct took place many years ago, the indictment describes …”). At no point did the Government introduce or even proffer any actual evidence.

The Government makes much of the fact that its Indictment is "speaking." But speaking or not, an indictment is not a substitute for evidence and cannot be used as proof that the case is strong. If that were true, then every single case would be strong because in every case there is an indictment.
2. Similarly, the "additional charges" do not "strengthen the evidence against Maxwell" and do not "further support Judge Nathan's detention orders." Resp.¶6, n.2. The new charges are allegations, nothing more. Piling allegation on allegation and then calling it proof does not make it so. Allegations are not evidence. Moreover, these charges will require Ms. Maxwell to spend more time with her lawyers, not less, and further illustrate why bail is necessary.1
3. Contrary to the Government's assertion, "[e]ach witness's testimony" is not "corroborated by that of other victim-witnesses." Resp.¶9. The Government continues to press the false point that the mere number of accusers provides corroboration for the accusers. To the
1The defense has been forced to asked for a continuance of the July trial because of the expansion of the conspiracy time period. Ex.O. If the trial is delayed and Ms. Maxwell is not released on bail, she will be further prejudiced with the inhumane conditions of confinement and the inability to aid her defense.

proposed agreements with the State Attorney's Office prior to entering into those agreements.
7. The United States shall provide Epstein's attorneys with a list of individuals whom it has identified as victims, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2255, after Epstein has signed this agreement and been sentenced. Upon the execution of this agreement, the United States, in consultation with and subject to the good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, shall select an attorney representative for these persons, who shall be paid for by Epstein. Epstein's counsel may contact the identified individuals through that representative.
8. If any of the individuals referred to in paragraph (7), supra, elects to file suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida over his person and/or the subject matter, and Epstein waives his right to contest liability and also waives his right to contest damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein, so long as the identified individual elects to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and agrees to waive any other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state, federal, or common law. Notwithstanding this waiver, as to those individuals whose names appear on the list provided by the United States, Epstein's signature on this agreement, his waivers and failures to contest liability and such damages in any suit are not to be construed as an admission of any criminal or civil liability.
9. Epstein's signature on this agreement also is not to be construed as an admission of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense as to any person whose name does not appear on the list provided by the United States.
10. Except as to those individuals who elect to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C.§ 2255, as set forth in paragraph (8), supra, neither Epstein's signature on this agreement, nor its terms, nor any resulting waivers or settlements by Epstein are to be construed as admissions or evidence of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense as to any person, whether or not her name appears on the list provided by the United States.
11. Epstein shall use his best efforts to enter his guilty plea and be

contrary. Not a single on of the anonymous accusers saw or heard what purportedly happened to the other accusers. Not a single one of the anonymous accusers will be able to corroborate the 25-year old stories of the other accusers. Indeed, their stories are contradictory, not corroborating. At a real hearing, the defense will demonstrate that each of the witness' stories has dramatically changed over the years. At first, none of the anonymous accusers even mentioned Ms. Maxwell. As they hired the same law firm, sought money and fame, joined a movement, and only after Epstein died, did the accusers start to point the finger at Ms. Maxwell. Far from corroboration, this is fabrication. The district judge erred in relying on the Indictment as proof that the Government's case is strong.
4. Because there was no meaningful proffer, the Government's reliance on United States v. LaFontaine, 210 F.3d 125, 131 (2d Cir. 2000) and United States v. Martir, 782 F.2d 1141, 1145 (2d Cir. 1986), is misplaced. Resp. ¶34. In fact, those cases highlight the court's error. In LaFontaine, for example, the bail revocation hearing lasted three days where the government's proffer included providing tape recordings, transcripts, and an affidavit for the court. No such evidentiary proffer

occurred here. The LaFontaine Court explained that "while the informality of bail hearings serves the demands of speed, the ... district judge must also ensure the reliability of the evidence, 'by selectively insisting upon the production of the underlying evidence of evidentiary sources where their accuracy is in question.' Id. at 131 (quoting Martir, 782 F.2d at 1147). And in Martir, this Court recognized the "high stakes" involved in a detention hearing and explained that the power afforded to the lower courts "should always be exercised 'with the recognition that a pretrial detention hearing may restrict for a significant time the liberty of a presumably innocent person.'" 782 F.2d at 1145 (internal citations omitted). It then criticized the government's proffer as stating in "the most general and conclusory terms what it hoped to provide," for failing to submit any "independent evidence, such as tapes, documents, or photographs," and for failing to furnish any testimony or affidavits. Id. at 1147. Sounds familiar. Unlike Martir, where this Court found that it could not reverse because the defense "did not challenge the proffer in any way," Ms. Maxwell absolutely challenged the flimsy proffer from the initial bail hearing through three renewals. Instead of properly putting the Government to the test, the court blindly, uncritically, and

erroneously adopted its conclusory proffer.
5. Ms. Maxwell's intention to evade the media does not even marginally amount to risk of flight. Resp.¶33. The Government does not dispute that the media placed a bounty on Ms. Maxwell or that she was being stalked by them before her arrest. Of course she took measures to protect herself and her family, just as government lawyers and judges do when their safety is at issue. Ms. Maxwell was at her home in the United States. The Government admits that it knew where she was. It had such confidence that it could arrest her whenever it chose that it orchestrated her arrest to coincide with a press conference replete with incendiary demonstrative aids. And it is worth repeating that the Government does not claim that Ms. Maxwell – a 59-year old woman with no prior criminal history – is a danger to the community. She is no monster, but she is being treated like one because of the “Epstein effect.”
6. The Government's contention that Ms. Maxwell receives more time than other inmates at MDC to “review her discovery” and “communicate with her attorneys” does not prove anything about whether she is actually able to effectively prepare her defense. Ms. Maxwell needs more time with her lawyers and discovery than almost any other MDC

inmate, few of which are preparing for trial. Over 97% of criminal defendants plead guilty and, therefore, need far less time with their lawyers. Of the remaining 3% who do proceed to trial, the vast majority are out on bond. For those few in custody, how many involve anonymous accusations that are decades old and 2.7 million pages?2 And how often is such a defendant forced to prepare her case during a pandemic where in-person lawyer visits are unsafe and impractical? It is no wonder that courts around the country are ordering temporary release under § 3142(i) for the few defendants who are trying to prepare for trial during the pandemic.
The Government's weak response is that Ms. Maxwell only mentioned temporary release at the first bail hearing. The Government suggests waiver, without saying it. Nonsense. Ms. Maxwell has repeatedly pressed her inability to effectively prepare her defense, which is properly
2To illustrate, for Ms. Maxwell to review the 2.7 million pages, she would have to do it, page by page, on a computer screen. If she spent only 1 minute per page, it would take 45,000 hours or 3,750 days (at 12 hours a day), without taking any notes, without discussing a single page with her lawyers, and not including the discovery that is on the way. Although the Government labels this new discovery "non-testifying witness discovery," it really is Brady material which severely undermines the already weak case.

before this Court.
7. Ms. Maxwell is not suggesting that "any defendant in a case with voluminous discovery must be released on bail to prepare for trial." Resp.¶40. Her case and situation is unique. Other defendants may pose a danger to the community. The Government concedes that she does not. Other defendants may not be U.S. citizens. She is. Other defendants may not have strong U.S. connections. Ms. Maxwell has lived here for 30 years, has a husband and step-children here, and has two sisters who are U.S. citizens and live here. Other defendants may not have pledged almost all of their assets or offer to have a monitor track her expenses. Ms. Maxwell has. Other defendants may not be willing to renounce their foreign citizenship. She is. Other defendants may have prior convictions. She does not. But other defendants have no connection to Jeffrey Epstein, and she does. Although unstated, that old connection is the driving factor for detention, and that is error.
8. The Government says that the district judge has "closely monitored" her conditions of confinement. Unfortunately, that is not accurate. The District Court accepted, without any real inquiry, the self-serving Government letters. These letters describe a "prison

paradise," not one of the most notorious prisons in America. A "day room."
Two computers. Recreation. Eye masks. But the Government's description
of Ms. Maxwell's conditions is not true. For example, she has no eye
mask. The guards flash lights in her cell every 15 minutes for no reason
so she tries as best as she can to shield her eyes with a towel that is not
secured and not effective against the unwelcome beams. Even the
Government does not dispute that Ms. Maxwell is in de facto solitary
confinement. It does not dispute that she has no surface to write on in her
isolation cell. It does not dispute that there is often cloudy, obviously
unsanitary, water in the jail. It does not dispute that she is being forced
to prepare for this trial with a computer that cannot do research and
cannot search documents. Attached as Exhibit P, is a response to the
latest Government letter, which outlines her actual conditions. It is
inconceivable that the government lawyers or its witnesses could prepare
for trial under these conditions.
It is painfully apparent that the two sides are far apart on how Ms.
Maxwell is being treated. The Government's letters, however, are based
on multiple layers of hearsay - prison guards to the prison lawyer to the
prosecutor, which get summarized in an unsworn letter to the court. No

affidavits at all, let along from anyone with actual knowledge, were submitted to the court. And the judge has never had an evidentiary hearing about the conditions.
In its most recent letter, the Government contends that Ms. Maxwell's allegation of abuse by the prison guards is unfounded because the Bureau of Prisons has reviewed a video of the incident and has concluded that there is no abuse. This self-serving proclamation is no substitute for evidence. The prosecutors who filed the letter do not even claim to have watched the video. The Government should produce it for the court and defense to review. The court should conduct a hearing to determine what actually happened. The Government professes to believe women, but only when those women are on their side, despite their inconsistent and self-contradictory statements about old, uncorroborated allegations. When it is Ms. Maxwell who has been abused, the Government wants to believe only the abusers who say they did no such thing and without watching the actual video. It seems like the only rule is to get Ms. Maxwell at all costs. And it seems that a conviction is not even enough for the Government - it wants to go so far as to humiliate Ms. Maxwell with false statements about the cleanliness of her cell. See

In the next week, the Defendant could be produced by video at either 9:00 a.m. on July 9, 2020 or sometime during the morning of July 14, 2020. Counsel are hereby ordered to meet and confer regarding scheduling for this initial proceeding in light of these constraints. If counsel does anticipate proceeding remotely, by 9:00 p.m. tonight, counsel should file a joint letter proposing a date and time for the proceeding consistent with this scheduling information, as well as a revised briefing schedule for the Defendant's bail application.SO ORDERED.

07/07/2020 10 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. An arraignment, initial conference, and bail hearing in this matter is hereby scheduled to occur as a remote video/teleconference using an internet platform system on July 14, 2020 at 1 p.m. In advance of the conference, Chambers will email counsel with further information on how to access the video conference. To optimize the quality of the video feed, only the Court, the Defendant, defense counsel, and counsel for the Government will appear by video for the proceeding; all others may access the audio of the public proceeding by telephone. Due to the limited capacity of the internet platform system, only one attorney per party may participate by video. Co-counsel, members of the press, and the public may access the audio feed of the proceeding by calling a dial-in number, which the Court will provide in advance of the proceeding by subsequent order. Given the high degree of public interest in this case, a video feed of the remote proceeding will be available for viewing in the Jury Assembly Room located at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY. Due to social distancing requirements, seating will be extremely limited; when capacity is reached no additional persons will be admitted. Per the S.D.N.Y. COVID-19 Courthouse Entry Program, anyone who appears at any S.D.N.Y. courthouse must complete a questionnaire on the date of the proceeding prior to arriving at the courthouse. All visitors must also have their temperature taken when they arrive at the courthouse. Please see the instructions, attached. Completing the questionnaire ahead of time will save time and effort upon entry. Only persons who meet the entry requirements established by the questionnaire and whose temperatures are below 100.4 degrees will be allowed to enter the courthouse. Face coverings that cover the nose and mouth must be worn at all times. Anyone who fails to comply with the COVID-19 protocols that have been adopted by the Court will be required to leave the courthouse. There are no exceptions. As discussed in the Court's previous order, defense counsel shall, if possible, discuss the Waiver of Right to be Present at Criminal Proceeding with the Defendant prior to the proceeding. See Dkt. No. 7. If the Defendant consents, and is able to sign the form (either personally or, in accordance with Standing Order 20-MC-174 of March 27, 2020, by defense counsel), defense counsel shall file the executed form at least 24 hours prior to the proceeding. In the event the Defendant consents, but counsel is unable to obtain or affix the Defendant's signature on the form, the Court will conduct an inquiry at the outset of the proceeding to determine whether it is appropriate for the Court to add the Defendant's signature to the form. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3771(c)(1), the Government must make their best efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights provided to them in that section. This includes [t]he right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding... involving the crime or of any release... of the accused and "[t]he right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving release." Id. § 3771(a)(2), (4). The Court will inquire with the https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?211087015221896-L_1_0-1 7/113 DOJ-OGR-00020629

Gov'tEx. (April 6, 2021 letter, n.2). But as Ms. Maxwell explained, the Government's narrative is total fiction - the unsanitary conditions are caused by other inmates and guards, not Ms. Maxwell.
9. The Government also makes much of Ms. Maxwell's vaccination. Again this demonstrates a gross double standard. Imagine if the defense had publicly filed medical information about the accusers. There would be hell to pay. The Government insists on secrecy and redactions when discussing their witnesses, and will not even reveal their names. Yet it freely discloses private information in violation of HIPAA about Ms. Maxwell in public filings.
In any event, whether Ms. Maxwell is vaccinated or not does not help her search documents on an ancient computer or give her access to a printer or allow her to meet with her lawyers (who would still need to come into the jail and interact with numerous other prisoners and guards who have not been vaccinated). Ms. Maxwell's bail motion is not based on her risk of contracting COVID. Her vaccination status is irrelevant.

Government as to the extent of those efforts. So that appropriate logistical arrangements can be made, the Government shall inform the Court by email within 24 hours in advance of the proceeding if any alleged victim wishes to be heard on the question of detention pending trial. Finally, the time between the Defendant's arrest and July 6, 2020 is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act due to the delay involved in transferring the Defendant from another district. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(F). And the Court further excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act from today through July 14, 2020. Due to the logistical issues involved in conducting a remote proceeding, the Court finds "that the ends of justice served by [this exclusion] outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial." 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The exclusion is also supported by the need for the parties to discuss a potential protective order, which will facilitate the timely production of discovery in a manner protective of the rights of third parties.

CONCLUSION
Ms. Maxwell should be released. The allegations against her are weak, she is not a risk of flight, and her appearance at trial is assured by an unprecedented bail package. In the meantime, she cannot effectively prepare for trial under these truly appalling conditions.
The Government's tactic in this appeal, and in the court below, is transparent - it is "trust us." Trust our proffer on the evidence because we indicted her (and this case relates to Jeffrey Epstein). Trust us when we say her conditions are fine because the Bureau of Prisons says they are fine (and we can't have another Jeffrey Epstein situation). The court below clearly erred, however, in just trusting the Government without any actual evidence and without a real hearing, notwithstanding Jeffrey Epstein. As much as the Government would like this case to be the Jeffrey Epstein show, Ghislaine Maxwell is not Jeffrey Epstein.
Ms. Maxwell understands that she and the Government are not going to agree on the facts. This is an adversary system, of course. But in that circumstance, there must be an adversarial hearing where Ms. Maxwell can demonstrate that the Government's case - based on old, anonymous accusations - is weak. There must be an adversarial hearing

number to be used to ensure audio access to the proceeding for non-speaking co-counsel, alleged victims, and any family members of the Defendant. The United States Attorney's Office should email Chambers with information regarding any alleged victims who are entitled, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3771(a)(4), to be heard at the bail hearing and who wish to be heard. The Court will then provide information as to the logistics for their dial-in access. As the Court described in a previous order, members of the press and public may watch and listen to the live video feed in the Jury Assembly Room, at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street. See Dkt. No. 10. However, in light of COVID-19, seating will be limited to approximately 60 seats in order to enable appropriate social distancing and ensure public safety. Counsel for the Defendant and the Government may contact Chambers by email if there is a request to accommodate alleged victims or family members of the Defendant. Members of the credentialed in-house press corps may contact the District Executive's Office about seating. Otherwise, all seating will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis and in accordance with the S.D.N.Y. COVID-19 Courthouse Entry Program and this Court's previous order of July 7, 2020. See Dkt. No. 10. If conditions change or the Court otherwise concludes that allowing for in-person viewing of the video feed at the courthouse is not consistent with public health, the Court may provide audio access by telephone only. Any photographing, recording, or rebroadcasting of federal court proceedings is prohibited by law. Violation of these prohibitions may result in fines or sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court.

The Court firmly expects that counsel for all involved parties will exercise great care to ensure compliance with this Court's local rules, including Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and the rules of professional responsibility. In light of this clear expectation, the Court does not believe that further action is needed at this time to protect the Defendant's right to a fair trial by an impartial jury. Accordingly, it denies the Defendant's motion without prejudice. But the Court warns counsel and agents for the parties and counsel for potential witnesses that going forward it will not hesitate to take appropriate action in the face of violations of any relevant rules. The Court will ensure strict compliance with those rules and will ensure that the Defendant's right to a fair trial will be safeguarded. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

07/30/2020 36 PROTECTIVE ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell...regarding procedures to be followed that shall govern the handling of confidential material. SO ORDERED: (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 7/30/2020)(bw) (Entered: 07/31/2020)
07/30/2020 37 MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Both parties have asked for the Court to enter a protective order. While they agree on most of the language, two areas of dispute have emerged. First, Ms. Maxwell seeks language allowing her to publicly reference alleged victims or witnesses who have spoken on the public record to the media or in public fora, or in litigation relating to Ms. Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein. Second, Ms. Maxwell seeks language restricting potential Government witnesses and their counsel from using discovery materials for any purpose other than preparing for the criminal trial in this action. The Government has proposed contrary language on both of these issues. For the following reasons, the Court adopts the Government's proposed protective order Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(d)(1), "[a]t any time the court may, for good cause, deny, restrict, or defer discovery or inspection, or grant other appropriate relief." The good cause standard "requires courts to balance several interests, including whether dissemination of the discovery materials inflicts hazard to others... whether the imposition of the protective order would prejudice the defendant," and "the public's interest in the information." United States v. Smith, 985 F. Supp. 2d 506, 522 (S.D.N.Y. 2013). The party seeking to restrict disclosure bears the burden of showing good cause. Cf. Gambale v. Deutsche Bank AG, 377 F.3d 133, 142 (2d Cir. 2004). First, the Court finds that the Government has met its burden of showing good cause with regard to restricting the ability of Ms. Maxwell to publicly reference alleged victims and witnesses other than those who have publicly identified themselves in this litigation. As a general matter, it is undisputed that there is a strong and specific interest in protecting the privacy of alleged victims and witnesses in this case that supports restricting the disclosure of their identities. Dkt. No. 29 at 3 (acknowledging that as a baseline the protective order should "prohibit[] Ms. Maxwell, defense counsel, and others on the defense team from disclosing or disseminating the identity of any alleged victim or potential witness referenced in the discovery materials"); see also United States v. Corley, No. 13-cr-48, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 194426, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 15, 2016). The Defense argues this interest is significantly diminished for individuals who have spoken on the public record about Ms. Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein, because they have voluntarily chosen to identify themselves. But not all accusations or public statements are equal. Deciding to participate in or contribute to a criminal investigation or prosecution is a far different matter than simply making a public statement "relating to" Ms. Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein, particularly since such a statement might have occurred decades ago and https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?7211087015221896-L_1_0-1 11/113 DOJ-OGR-00020633

have no relevance to the charges in this case. These individuals still maintain a significant privacy interest that must be safeguarded. The exception the Defense seeks is too broad and risks undermining the protections of the privacy of witnesses and alleged victims that is required by law. In contrast, the Government's proffered language would allow Ms. Maxwell to publicly reference individuals who have spoken by name on the record in this case. It also allows the Defense to "reference[e] the identities of individuals they believe may be relevant... to Potential Defense Witnesses and their counsel during the course of the investigation and preparation of the defense case at trial." Dkt. No. 33-1, 5. This proposal adequately balances the interests at stake. And as the Government's letter notes, see Dkt. No. 33 at 4, to the extent that the Defense needs an exception to the protective order for a specific investigative purpose, they can make applications to the Court on a case-by-case basis. Second, restrictions on the ability of potential witnesses and their counsel to use discovery materials for purposes other than preparing for trial in this case are unwarranted. The request appears unprecedented despite the fact that there have been many high-profile criminal matters that had related civil litigation. The Government expects the Government to scrupulously follow. Furthermore, the Government indicates that it will likely only provide potential witnesses with materials that those witnesses already have in their possession. See Dkt. No. 33 at 6. And of course, those witnesses who do testify at trial would be subject to examination on the record as to what materials were provided or shown to them by the Government. Nothing in the Defense's papers explains how its unprecedented proposed restriction is somehow necessary to ensure a fair trial. For the foregoing reasons, the Court adopts the Government's proposed protective order, which will be entered on the docket. This resolves Dkt. No. 29. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

adopt the Defendant's proposed redactions, which are consented to by the Government. The Court's decision is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Under this test, the Court must: (i) determine whether the documents in question are "judicial documents;" (ii) assess the weight of the common law presumption of access to the materials; and (iii) balance competing considerations against the presumption of access. Id. at 119-20. "Such countervailing factors include but are not limited to 'the danger of impairing law enforcement or judicial efficiency' and 'the privacy interests of those resisting disclosure.'" Id. at 120 (quoting United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1050 (2d Cir. 1995) ("Amodeo II")). The proposed redactions satisfy this test. First, the Court finds that the Defendant's letter motions are "relevant to the performance of the judicial function and useful in the judicial process," thereby qualifying as a "judicial document" for purposes of the first element of the Lugosch test. United States v. Amodeo ("Amodeo I"), 44 F.3d 141, 145 (2d Cir. 1995). And while the Court assumes that the common law presumption of access attaches, in balancing competing considerations against the presumption of access, the Court finds that the arguments the Defendant has put forthincluding, most notably, the privacy interests of the individuals referenced in the lettersfavor her proposed and tailored redactions. The Defendant is hereby ORDERED to docket the redacted versions of the two letters by December 4, 2020. For the reasons outlined in the Government's letter dated December 2, 2020, Dkt. No. 80, the Court DENIES the Defendant's request for an in camera conference. In order to protect the privacy interests referenced in the Defendant's November 25, 2020 letter, the Court will permit the Defendant to make her submission in writing and to propose narrowly tailored redactions. The parties are hereby ORDERED to meet and confer to jointly prepare a briefing schedule for the Defendant's forthcoming motion for release on bail. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

12/08/2020 92 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On December 4, 2020, the Court received a letter from MDC legal counsel responding to the concerns that the Defendant raised in her November 24, 2020 letter. See Dkt. Nos. 75, 88; see also Dkt. No. 78. The Defendant responded to the MDC legal counsel's letter on December 7, 2020, reiterating her request that the Court summon Warden Heriberto Tellez to personally respond to questions from the Court regarding the Defendant's conditions of confinement. See Dkt. No. 91. Having carefully reviewed the parties' submissions, along with the MDC legal counsel's December 4, 2020 letter, the Court DENIES the Defendant's request to summon the Warden to personally appear and respond to questions. This resolves Dkt. No. 75. Notwithstanding this, as originally provided in Dkt. No. 49, the Government shall continue to submit written status updates detailing any material changes to the conditions of Ms. Maxwell's confinement, with particular emphasis on her access to legal materials, including legal mail and email, and her ability to communicate with defense counsel.

Furthermore, the Government shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the Defendant continues to receive adequate access to her legal materials and her ability to communicate with defense counsel.

12/14/2020 95 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On December 8, 2020, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell filed her renewed application for bail under seal with proposed redactions, in accordance with this Court's December 7, 2020 Order, see Dkt. No. 89. The Government did not file any opposition to the Defendant's proposed redactions. After due consideration, the Court will adopt the Defendant's proposed redactions. The Court's decision to adopt those redactions is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Under this test, the Court must: (i) determine whether the documents in question are "judicial documents;" (ii) assess the weight of the common law presumption of access to the materials; and (iii) balance competing considerations against the presumption of access. Id. at 11920. "Such countervailing factors include but are not limited to 'the danger of impairing law enforcement or judicial efficiency' and 'the privacy interests of those resisting disclosure.'" Id. at 120 (quoting United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1048 (2d Cir.1995) ("Amodeo II")). The proposed redactions satisfy this test. The Court finds that Defendant's letter motions are "relevant to the performance of the judicial function and useful in the judicial process,' thereby qualifying as a "judicial document" for purposes of the first element of the Lugosch test. United States v. Amodeo ("Amodeo I"), 44 F.3d 141, 145 (2d Cir. 1995). And the Court also finds that the common law presumption of access attaches. Id. at 146; see also Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 602 (1978). Nevertheless, in balancing competing considerations against the presumption of access, the Court finds that the redactions are narrowly tailored to properly guard the privacy interests of the individuals referenced in the Defendant's submission and in the corresponding exhibits The Defendant is hereby ORDERED to docket the redacted documents and corresponding exhibits.

12/28/2020 104 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On December 8, 2020, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell filed a renewed motion for releaseon bail. Dkt No. 97. In an Opinion and Order concurrently filed under temporary seal, the Court DENIES the Defendant's motion. In light of the fact that the Opinion includes potentially confidential information that should not be filed on the public docket, the Court will permit the parties 48 hours to propose any redactions to the Courts Opinion and Order and to justify those redactions by reference tothe Second Circuits decision in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110(2d Cir. 2006). After determining which, if any, portions of the Opinion and Order should be redacted, the Court will file the Opinion and Order on the public docket. As a result, the Court concludes that the Government has met its burden of persuasion that the Defendant poses a flight risk and that pretrial detention continues to be warranted. On or before December 30, 2020, the parties are ORDERED to submit a joint letter indicating whether they propose any redactions and the justification for any such proposal. This resolves Dkt No. 97.

03/18/2021 | 168 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On February 26, 2021, the Government filed its omnibus memorandum of law opposing Defendants' twelve pretrial motions. It filed the brief, along with the corresponding exhibits, under temporary seal pending the Court's resolution of its request to redact sensitive or confidential information. See Dkt. No. 162. On March 9, 2021, the Defendant objected to certain of the redactions that the Government had proposed, and she proposed additional redactions. Having considered the parties' respective positions, the Court will grant the Government's requests for redactions and sealing, as well as the Defendant's additional redaction requests, with the exceptions discussed below. Finally, the Court denies the Governments request to file Exhibit 11 entirely under seal. While portions of that transcript have been redacted, other portions are part of the public record. See Giuffre v. Maxwell, Case No. 15-cv-7433, Dkt. No. 1212-1. In light of this, the Court sees no basis to file the transcript entirely under seal rather than by redacting the relevant portions. In light of the above, the Government is hereby ORDERED to either docket on ECF their brief and the corresponding exhibits, consistent with this Order, or to file a letter with the Court justifying more tailored redaction and sealing requests regarding pages 1128 and 187188 and Exhibits 8 and 9 by no later than March 22, 2021. The parties are further ORDERED to meet, confer, and jointly propose redactions to the Defendant's cover letter objecting to the Government's proposed redactions by March 22, 2021. Finally, the parties are ORDERED to meet, confer, and propose redactions to Exhibit 11 of the Government's submission by March 22, 2021 (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 3/18/21)(jw) (Entered: 03/18/2021)
03/22/2021 | 169 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell's third motion for release on bail, Dkt. No. 160, is DENIED. The parties are ORDERED to meet and confer and propose and justify any redactions to the Defendant's reply brief by March 24, 2021. If they conclude that redactions are unnecessary, the Defendant is ORDERED to docket the unredacted version of the brief by March 24, 2021. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

03/24/2021 172 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On March 5, 2021, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell submitted to the Court an application for an order authorizing a subpoena pursuant to Rule 17(c)(3) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The proposed subpoena was directed at a law firm that represents alleged victims of the Defendant. As is standard for Rule 17(c) subpoenas, the application was made ex parte and under seal on the ground that it reveals defense strategy....[*** See this Order ***]... Rule 17(c)(3) provides that " [a]fter [an indictment] is filed, a subpoena requiring the production of personal or confidential information about a victim may be served on a third party only by court order," but "before entering the order and unless there are exceptional circumstances, the court must require giving notice to the victim so that the victim can move to quash or modify the subpoena or otherwise object." Fed. R. Crim. P. 17(c)(3). Consistent with the Rule, on March 12, 2021, in a sealed ex parte Order, the Court required defense counsel to provide notice to alleged victims whose personal or confidential information may be disclosed by the proposed subpoena. The Court also gave the alleged victims an opportunity to object to or request modifications of the subpoena as required by Rule 17(c)(3). On March 19, 2021, the Court received a letter from the law firm indicating that it can provide notice to alleged victims whose personal or confidential information may be elicited by the subpoena. The law firm shall provide notice to any such alleged victims it represents. In that letter, the law firm also interposed substantial objections on behalf of the law firm and the alleged victims it represents. Those objections are functionally the equivalent of a motion to quash, even though the subpoena has not yet issued. So that the Court can receive adversarial briefing on the proposed subpoena comparable to a motion to quash, the law firm shall enter an appearance and file its objections on the public docket. See United States v. Ray, No. 20-CR-110 (LJL), 2020 WL 6939677, at *10 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 25, 2020) ("[I]f the Court determines that the subpoena calls for personal or confidential information about a victim, it requires the requesting party have given notice to the victim before it permits the service of the subpoena. If the victim objects, the Court will then determine whether to modify or quash the subpoena, including on grounds that Nixon was not satisfied.") In advance of noticing an appearance and filing, the law firm shall meet and confer with defense counsel to see if any issues can be narrowed before formal briefing. Moreover, prior to filing, the law firm shall confer with defense counsel as to any proposed, necessary, and tailored redactions to the objections. The law firm’s objections with any proposed redactions shall be filed on or before March 26, 2021.Any redactions must be justified consistent with Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Within one week of the filing of objections, defense counsel may respond to the subpoena objections. The law firm may reply within three days of the Defendant’s response.(See Citation 1 on this Order). Counsel shall confer regarding any proposed redactions for all briefing. SO ORDERED.

Under Rule 404(b), if the prosecutor in a criminal case intends to use "evidence of a crime, wrong, or other act" against a defendant, the prosecutor must "provide reasonable notice of the general nature of any such evidence that the prosecutor intends to offer at trial" and must "do so in writing before trial—or in any form during trial if the court, for good cause, excuses lack of pretrial notice." The Government represents that it will notify the defense of its intent to use 404(b) evidence at least 45 days in advance of trial to allow Maxwell to file any motions in limine to be considered at the final pretrial conference. The Government's proposal will give Maxwell an opportunity to challenge admission of that evidence and to bring to the Court's attention any issues that require resolution before trial. "This is all that Rule 404(b) requires." United States v. Thompson, No. 13-cr-378 (AJN), 2013 WL 6246489, at *9 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 3, 2013). The Court concludes this schedule is generally reasonable, although additional time to enable briefing and resolution in advance of trial is strongly encouraged.
The Court's denial of Maxwell's requests to compel pretrial disclosures does not preclude the parties from negotiating in good faith for an expedited discovery timeline that will account for Maxwell's specific concerns. "[I]n most criminal cases, pretrial disclosure will redound to the benefit of all parties, counsel, and the court." United States v. Percevault, 490 F.2d 126, 132 (2d Cir. 1974). In general, the Court will require the parties to negotiate a final, omnibus schedule to propose to the Court. The Court concludes that the disclosure of all of the above materials approximately six to eight weeks in advance of trial is appropriate and sufficient.

The parties agree that the redactions to pages 118 and 119 are no longer necessary. The Defendant continues to press for the redactions on pages 129134. However, for the reasons stated in the Court's March 29, 2021 Order, the information is already part of the public record in this case and accordingly the proposed redactions are unnecessary and overbroad. Dkt. No. 189; see also United States v. Nejad, No. 18-CR-224 (AJN), 2021 WL 681427, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 22, 2021). For the reasons stated in the Court's March 18, 2021 and March 29, 2021 Orders, the Court approves the limited redactions to Exhibit 11 to the Government's brief, except for the language quoted in the Indictment, which is already part of the public record. The Government is therefore ORDERED to docket its omnibus memorandum of law, along with the corresponding exhibits, by 3:00 p.m. today, consistent with the Court's orders regarding redactions. The parties are further ORDERED to docket their April 1, 2021 joint letter; if either side believes that portions of that letter should be redacted, they shall propose redactions by April 19, 2021.

04/16/2021 205 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On March 15, 2021, the Defendant filed under seal her reply briefs to the Government memorandum of law opposing Defendants' twelve pre-trial motions. She filed the briefs, along with the corresponding exhibits, temporarily under seal in order to permit the Government and the Court to review certain proposed redactions. Of the twelve reply briefs, Reply Briefs 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 did not contain any redaction or sealing requests. Reply Briefs 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 contain limited proposed redactions. Reply Briefs 3, 6, and 10 also contain exhibits that the Defendant proposes be filed under seal. As set forth in the Defendant's cover letter, the premise of the proposed redactions is that the materials were produced in discovery and subject to the protective order that has been entered in this case. The mere existence of a confidentiality agreement or a protective order covering judicial documents is insufficient to overcome the presumption of access. See Aioi Nissay Dowa Ins. Co. v. Prosight Specialty Mgmt. Co., Inc., 12-cv-3274 (JPO), 2012 WL 3583176, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 21, 2012). And the Court did not receive specific requests or justifications to redact or seal any of the materials. The Defendant is ORDERED to docket Reply Briefs 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 on ECF today, as she did not propose any redactions to these and the Government has not voiced any opposition to these being filed without redactions. If either side is seeking these or any other redactions to the remaining reply briefs, they must file a letter indicating the redactions they request and providing specific justifications for the sealing requests or redactions, in line with the principles set forth in Lugosch. By April 20, 2021, the parties shall confer and submit a letter informing the Court whether any redactions are being sought. If no redactions are being sought, the Defendant is ORDERED to docket the remaining reply briefs on ECF by April 20, 2021. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 4/16/2021) (ap) (Entered: 04/16/2021)

04/16/2021 207 OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. In June 2020, a grand jury returned a six-count indictment charging Ghislaine Maxwell with facilitating the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of minor victims from around 1994 to 1997. The Government filed a first (S1) superseding indictment shortly thereafter, which contained only small, ministerial corrections. The S1 superseding indictment included two counts of enticement

or transportation of minors to engage in illegal sex acts in violation of the Mann Act and two counts of conspiracy to commit those offenses. It also included two counts of perjury in connection with Maxwell's testimony in a civil deposition. Trial is set to begin on July 12, 2021. Maxwell filed twelve pretrial motions seeking to dismiss portions of the S1 superseding indictment, suppress evidence, and compel discovery. After the parties fully briefed those motions, a grand jury returned a second (S2) superseding indictment adding a sex trafficking count and another related conspiracy count. This Opinion resolves all of Maxwell's currently pending pretrial motions other than those seeking to suppress evidence, which the Court will resolve in due course. The motions, and this Opinion, deal exclusively with the S1 superseding indictment and do not resolve any issues related to the newly added sex trafficking charges. For the reasons that follow, the Court denies Maxwell's motions to dismiss the S1 superseding indictment in whole or in part. It grants her motion to sever the perjury charges for a separate trial. It denies her motion to further expedite discovery. The Court provides a brief summary of its conclusions here and its reasoning on the pages that follow:...*** See this Opinion & Order ***]... Conclusion: The Court DENIES Maxwell's motions to dismiss the indictment as barred by Epstein's non-prosecution agreement (Dkt. No. 141), to dismiss the Mann Act counts as barred by the statute of limitations (Dkt. No. 143), to dismiss the indictment for pre-indictment delay (Dkt. No. 137), to dismiss the Mann Act counts for lack of specificity (Dkt. No. 123), to dismiss the perjury counts as legally untenable (Dkt. No. 135), to strike surplusage (Dkt. No. 145), to dismiss count one or count three as multiplicitous (Dkt. No. 121), and to expedite pretrial disclosures (Dkt. No. 147). The Court GRANTS Maxwell's motion to sever the perjury counts for a separate trial (Dkt. No. 119). The Court ORDERS the Government to confirm within one week whether it considers any evidence related to negotiation of the non-prosecution agreement to constitute Brady or Rule 16 material and, if so, to confirm that it has or will disclose such evidence. The Court further ORDERS the parties to negotiate a final schedule for all pretrial disclosures that remain outstanding, including: Brady, Giglio, and Jenks Act materials, including co-conspirator statements; non-testifying witness statements; testifying witness statements; the identity of victims alleged in the indictment; 404(b) material; and the Government's witness list. The Court also requires the parties to negotiate a schedule for any additional or supplemental motions briefing in light of the S2 indictment. The Court ORDERS a joint proposal to be submitted by April 21, 2021. If agreement is not reached, the parties shall submit their respective proposals. The Court further ORDERS Maxwell to show cause by April 21, 2021 why her motion to dismiss the S1 superseding indictment under the Sixth Amendment (Dkt. No. 125) should not be denied as moot.

04/19/2021 216 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: In its April 16, 2021 Opinion, the Court denied the Defendant's motions to dismiss the S1 superseding indictment in whole or in part and granted the Defendant's motion to sever the perjury counts for a separate trial. Dkt. No. 207. The Court will try the non-perjury counts first. As the Court noted in its Opinion, it has not yet resolved the Defendant's two motions to suppress evidence. See Dkt. Nos. 133, 139. The Defendant contends in those motions that the Government obtained by subpoena documents covered by a protective order in violation of her rights against unreasonable searches and seizures, against self-incrimination, and to due process of law. The motions seek, at minimum, an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the Government knowingly misrepresented facts to procure an order modifying the protective order. The Court requires information from the Government for scheduling purposes. The Government is ORDERED to inform the Court by letter docketed on ECF no later than April 20, 2021, whether it intends to use any of the documents subject to the pending motions to suppress in the trial of the non-perjury counts in this case. If the Government does not intend to use any of the documents subject to the pending motions to suppress in the trial of the non-perjury counts, the Court will defer consideration of those motions until it has scheduled the trial of the perjury counts.

Given that and in light of the representations in the Government's April 21, 2021 letter, see Dkt. No. 227, the Court intends to defer resolution of the pending motions to suppress (including resolution of the request for an evidentiary hearing) until after the trial on the non-perjury counts.

Nathan from AUSAs Maurene Comey, Alison Moe, Lara Pomerantz, and Andrew Rohrbach dated April 20, 2021 re: Redactions to Defense Reply Briefs and Exhibits. ENDORSEMENT: The Court grants the Government's proposed redaction and sealing requests. This conclusion is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Under this test, the Court must: (i) determine whether the documents in question are "judicial documents;" (ii) assess the weight of the common law presumption of access to the materials; and (iii) balance competing considerations against the presumption of access. Id. at 11920. The Court concludes that these are judicial documents and that the First Amendment and common law presumptions of access attach. In balancing competing considerations against the presumption of access, however, the Court finds that the specific arguments the Government has put forward in this letter, including the need to protect the privacy interests of third parties and alleged victims, favor the narrowly tailored redactions. See United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1050 (2d Cir. 1995). The Government's letter does not discuss Exhibit L of Reply Brief 6. By April 23, 2021, the parties shall either propose redactions to Exhibit L of Reply Brief 6, which was originally filed under seal, or they shall indicate to the Court that they seek no redactions and file it on ECF. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 4/22/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 04/22/2021)

No. 221, under temporary seal with proposed redactions. The proposed redactions are GRANTED. The Court's conclusion is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v.

On April 21, 2021, the Court's Chambers received a letter from counsel for a non-party requesting assurances as to privacy protections for his client in any filings or proceedings in this case. The letter requests anonymity on behalf of the client as an alleged victim of a sexual crime. After receiving the letter, the Court forwarded it to the parties and required the Government to respond to counsel, which it has done. The Court will take no further action based on the April 21, 2021 letter but will file it under seal to protect the privacy interests of the non-party asserting that interest. The Government is requested to forward this order to counsel for the non-party. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/3/21)(jbo) (Entered: 05/03/2021)
05/03/2021 265 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court has received an exchange of letters that pertain to an incident that took place on April 24, 2021. Dkt. Nos. 248, 253, 254, 258, 259. Legal counsel for MDC, where Ms. Maxwell is detained pretrial, alleges that her lawyers violated Bureau of Prisons rules by providing Ms. Maxwell materials at an in-person attorney-client visit. Dkt. Nos. 254, 259. Ms. Maxwells lawyers categorically deny the allegations and threaten separate legal action against MDC staff based on the incident and the accusation. Dkt. Nos. 253, 258. The Court intimates no views as to whether some other action or process is appropriate or proper in light of either sides allegations. This Courts obligation in this case, and any other, is to ensure that the defendant is given an opportunity to meet with her lawyers, engage in confidential attorney-client communications, and prepare for trial. Mindful of that obligation, the Court declines to take further action at this time. After receiving the defenses first letter motion, the Court ordered MDC legal counsel to show cause why the Court should not grant the requested relief. Dkt. No. 249. The Court then granted in part defense counsels original request and ordered MDC legal counsel to respond to certain questions about the April 24, 2021 incident and the procedures in place to ensure the confidentiality of Ms. Maxwells lawyer-client communications. Dkt. No. 255. Defense counsels current application is that this Court order MDC to turn over copies of video tapes of the in-person attorney-client visit. Dkt. No. 258. Those video tapes must be preserved in light of defense counsels preservation letter. Dkt. No. 248, Ex. C. If Ms. Maxwell or defense counsel are entitled to view or receive copies of those materials as a matter of law, they should be provided. To the extent defense counsel is seeking entitlement to those materials from this Court, that application is denied. The Court has ensured and will continue to ensure that Ms. Maxwell has the opportunity to meet meaningfully and confidentially with her lawyers in light of all relevant circumstances and consistent with the treatment of all other detained inmates in BOP custody. The isolated incident that took place on April 24, 2021, and the serious allegations leveled by MDC legal counsel and defense counsel in no way

undermine the Courts conclusion that Ms. Maxwell and her lawyers are fully able to prepare for trial. The Court is confident that all parties recognize the importance of this going forward and in advance of the upcoming trial. In furtherance of this, counsel for the Government are ORDERED to confer with legal counsel for MDC to ensure that Ms. Maxwell continues to have access to confidential attorney-client communications as she prepares for trial. If any additional incidents arise, defense counsel shall promptly confer with counsel for the Government regarding those incidents and seek to resolve any such issues swiftly, responsibly, reasonably, and amicably. If that fails, the parties may write to the Court jointly indicating their views, identifying and justifying any specific application being made. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/3/2021) (ap) (Entered: 05/03/2021)
05/03/2021 266 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court concludes that the interests of justice justify granting a short continuance. The Court deems an adjournment until fall 2021 to be reasonable. Such an adjournment would plainly give the defense team sufficient time to prepare for trial in light of the additional charges contained in the S2 indictment while also ensuring that the trial proceeds without undue delay. No additional delay is necessary or in the interests of justice. The parties are hereby ORDERED to meet and confer and by May 10, 2021, they shall jointly propose a trial start date for the Court to request of the Clerk's Office (as is required by COVID protocols). The Court urges counsel to agree to the earliest possible date this fall and to seek adjustments to other schedules in order to facilitate an early fall trial start date. The parties shall also discuss and propose any adjustments necessary to the pre-trial schedule in place. Dkt. No. 250. The Government may move in the letter for any requested exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/3/2021) (See ORDER set forth) (ap) (Entered: 05/03/2021)

05/04/2021 268 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On April 30, 2021, defense counsel requested that the Court issue an order directing the MDC to accept two hard drives from defense counsel that contain the non-Highly Confidential discovery in this case for Ms. Maxwell's use. Dkt. No. 260. On May 4, 2021, the Court received the attached email from MDC legal counsel indicating that MDC does not oppose the defense's request and that MDC staff will coordinate with defense counsel so that Ms. Maxwell can receive the hard drives. In light of this, defense counsel's April 30, 2021 request appears moot. Defense counsel shall raise any further issues regarding their request within two weeks of this order.

05/11/2021 277 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court has considered the parties' proposals regarding the commencement of trial. Dkt. Nos. 275, 276. For the reasons stated in the Government's letter, the Court will request November 29, 2021 from the Clerk's Office as the trial start datethat is the date (pending approval from the Clerk's Office consistent with the SDNY COVID protocols) that opening statements will be made to the jury. However, the Court will also request from the Clerk's Office that jury selection occur during the week of November 15. Counsel shall plan accordingly. The Court grants the Government's motion to exclude time until November 29, 2021. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting an exclusion from speedy trial computations for the period from today's date through November 29, 2021, outweigh the interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial, because this time is necessary to permit the defense to continue to review discovery and other materials in light of the superseding indictment; to permit the parties to prepare and file motions in limine; to permit the parties to make and review additional pretrial disclosures; and to allow adequate time for the parties to prepare for trial. Time is therefore excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), until November 29, 2021. In order to ensure that there is no delay in the commencement of trial, the Court will adjust the current pre-trial schedule. So that the Court can resolve motions in limine in advance of the November 29th trial commencement date, any such motions shall be fully briefed no later than four weeks in advance of the anticipated trial commencement date of November 29. The parties shall meet and confer to propose adjustments to other pre-trial disclosures accordingly. The parties are hereby ORDERED to meet and confer for at least 30 minutes by phone regarding the overall pretrial disclosure schedule and submit a joint letter by May 14, 2021. The Court will accept only a joint letter with a joint proposal or with each sides views briefly stated. The letter must attest to the meet and confer. Any separately filed letters will be struck. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/11/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 05/11/2021)

Nathan from AUSAs Maurene Comey, Alison Moe, Lara Pomerantz, and Andrew Rohrbach dated May 14, 2021. ENDORSEMENT: The request for an extension of time until May 21, 2021 to respond to the Court's May 11, 2021 Order is GRANTED. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/14/2021 ) (lnl) (Entered: 05/14/2021)
| 05/14/2021 | 282 | ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On April 29, 2021, counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell wrote to the Court requesting that the Court address her sleeping conditions, with particular emphasis on counsel's representation, unsupported by affidavit or other factual showing, that guards are shining a flashlight in Maxwell's eyes every 15 minutes at night. Dkt. No. 256. Defense counsel claims that the flashlight surveillance in Maxwell's eyes is disrupting her sleep, which in turn is impacting her ability to prepare for and withstand trial. The Court sought more information by ordering the Government to confer with legal counsel for the Bureau of Prisons and to respond to certain questions. Dkt. No. 257. In response, the Government states that MDC staff conduct flashlight checks of all inmates as a matter of course. Dkt. No. 270. As reported by the Government, inmates housed with cell mates in the Special Housing Unit are checked with flashlights every 30 minutes. Inmates housed with others in the general population are checked multiple times per night at regular intervals. The Government further reports that to conduct the checks, flashlights are pointed at the ceiling of the cell to confirm that the inmate is present, breathing, and not in distress. As the Government explains, there are a number of neutral reasons why BOP's flashlight checks of Maxwell are relatively more frequent than those of other inmates, including that Maxwell is housed alone, the nature of the charges, and the potential stress for inmates that can arise in high-profile cases. The MDC has determined that these factors necessitate more frequent safety and security checks. The Government also indicates that the prohibition on eye masks is a generally applicable policy, but that Maxwell, like other inmates, may use other noncontraband items to cover her eyes. To the extent that Maxwell's April 29, 2021 letter asks the Court to override BOP's determination as to the frequency of appropriate safety and security check procedures, that request is denied as factually unsubstantiated and legally unsupported. Certainly nothing in the record plausibly establishes that current protocols interfere with Maxwell's ability to prepare for her trial and communicate with her lawyers. Defense counsel's May 7, 2021 letter, Dkt. No. 272, describes generalized grievances but makes

no additional specific and supported application for relief. Nevertheless, the Court urges the MDC to consider whether sleep disruption for pretrial detainees can be reduced. The Court also admonishes the MDC and the Government to continue to ensure that Maxwell is subjected to only those security protocols that BOP determines are necessary for her safety and security, based upon neutral and applicable factors, and consistent with the treatment of similarly situated pre-trial detainees. The Government shall provide a copy of this Order to the Warden and General Counsel for the MDC. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 5/14/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 05/14/2021)

05/17/2021 284 MEMO ENDORSEMENT as to Ghislaine Maxwell re: 278 Letter Proposed Redactions to Defendant's Supplemental Pre-Trial Motions... ENDORSEMENT: The Court grants in part the Government's redaction and sealing requests. Its conclusion is guided by the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court concludes that these are judicial documents and that the First Amendment and common law presumptions of access attach. Id. at 11920. In balancing competing considerations against the presumption of access, the Court finds that the arguments the Government has put forward in this letter, including the need to protect the privacy interests of third parties and alleged victims, favor the narrowly tailored redactions. See United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1050 (2d Cir. 1995). Similarly, the Court concludes that the Government has shown that Exhibits E, F, G, H, and I should be filed under seal. With respect to Exhibit C, however, the Court concludes that narrowly tailored redactions are sufficient to advance the privacy interests the Government has identified. Accordingly, the Government is ORDERED to confer with defense counsel and submit proposed redactions to Exhibit C by May 20, 2021. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

previously filed under seal as Exhibits D, E, F, and G to the memorandum of law in support of Maxwell's first motion to suppress (Dkt. No. 134). Within one week, the parties shall confer and file under seal any proposed redactions to the memorandum decision, order, and transcripts. Any proposed redactions shall be narrowly tailored and shall be supported with reference to the Second Circuit's opinion in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006).

06/25/2021 304 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court grants the Defendant's request that going forward the Government shall only file updates if there are any material changes to Ms. Maxwell's conditions of confinement. See Dkt. No. 300 at 1. In the absence of any other specific or supported application for relief from the Defendant, the Court will take no further action at this time. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 6/25/2021)(bw) (Entered: 06/25/2021)
06/25/2021 307 OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell moves to suppress evidence obtained through a grand jury subpoena to a law firm involved in earlier civil litigation against her. She contends that because the documents sought by the subpoena were previously subject to a protective order, the Government obtained them in violation of her rights against compelled self-incrimination, against unreasonable searches and seizures, and to due process of law. For the foregoing reasons, the Court finds that the Government did not violate Maxwell's constitutional rights when it obtained evidence covered by a protective order in her earlier civil case. It further finds that Maxwell is not entitled to suppression of any evidence or to an evidentiary hearing. The Court thus DENIES Maxwell's motions to suppress (Dkt. Nos. 133, 139) (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 6/25/21)(jw) (Entered: 07/01/2021)
06/30/2021 305 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: Pursuant to the Court's order of June 25, 2021 (Dkt.

Any proposed redactions to the other documents ordered unsealed in that order must be filed no later than July 2, 2021. The parties shall file a joint letter by each of these dates informing the Court if no redactions are sought. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 6/30/2021) (lnl) (Entered: 06/30/2021)

No party has proposed redactions to the Court's opinion on Maxwell's motions to suppress or the documents ordered unsealed in the Courts June 25, 2021 Order (Dkt. No. 303). Thus, the Court lifts the temporary seal on its June 25, 2021 opinion on Maxwells motions to suppress. It also unseals the April 9, 2019 memorandum decision and order on the Governments application to modify the protective order in Giuffre v. Maxwell, No. 15-cv-7433, as well as the transcripts of the March 26, 2019 and April 9, 2019 ex parte hearings on that application, originally filed under seal as Exhibits D, E, F, and G to the memorandum of law in support of Maxwell's first motion to suppress (Dkt.

| 07/12/2021 | 314 | LETTER addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan from David Oscar Markus dated 7/9/21 re: The Governments request should be denied because (1) undersigned counsel does not currently represent Ms. Maxwell, and (2) the Op-Ed did not violate the local rules. (jw) (Entered: 07/12/2021)
| 07/30/2021 | 315 | ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Government has moved for an order requiring David Markus to comply with Local Criminal Rule 23.1 following an op-ed that he authored opining on the merits of this pending case, Dkt. No. 309. Mr. Markus is therefore ORDERED to comply with Local Criminal Rule 23.1. The Government does not ask the Court to discipline Mr. Markus based on his op-ed and the Court declines to consider whether it violated Rule 23.1 given the potential lack of clarity with respect to whether Mr. Markus was bound by the rule. The Court emphasizes that the rule provides illustrative examples of statements that "presumptively involve a substantial likelihood that their public dissemination will interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice within the meaning of the rule." S.D.N.Y. Local Criminal Rule 23(d). Going forward, Mr. Markus and all lawyers associated with the pending case are now clearly on notice that their conduct falls under the purview of Local Criminal Rule 23.1. Indeed, the above concerns do not apply only to Mr. Markus. This Court has previously noted that counsel[,] agents for the parties and counsel for potential witnesses must take care to protect the Defendant's right to a fair trial by an impartial jury. Dkt. No. 28. This Court is cognizant that criminal matters heading toward trial are especially sensitive to extrajudicial statements. All those associated with this case must act to ensure the case is tried solely in court or else they risk being deemed responsible for any trial delay or for undermining the integrity of the upcoming trial. See S.D.N.Y. Local Criminal Rule 23.1(h). In addition to the impact it could have on this matter, failure to comply could also result in attorney discipline. Id. Rule 23.1(i).

08/13/2021 318 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: On March 19, 2021, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell submitted a sealed and ex parte motion for an order authorizing four subpoenas pursuant to Rule 17(c)(3) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. By sealed order dated March 22, 2021, the Court provided an opportunity for recipients of the subpoenas to respond to the requests by March 30, 2021, but it received no responses. In an Opinion and Order temporarily filed under seal, the Court DENIES Maxwell's motion without prejudice. It does so after concluding that none of the proposed subpoenas conform to the factors first set out in United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 69870 (1974). The Court will send the temporarily sealed Opinion and Order to defense counsel. By August 18, 2021, Maxwell is ORDERED to inform the Court whether she seeks sealing or limited redactions of the Court's opinion and of her original motion papers, justifying any such request by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). In addition, by that date Maxwell shall inform the Court whether she seeks full sealing or redactions of the original motion, again justifying any such request by reference to the Lugosch test.

08/13/2021 334 OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell's motion is, at this time, DENIED without prejudice. She may renew any Rule 17(c) applications upon a proper showing that each of the requested materials satisfies the Nixon test, as described above and in the Court's April 27, 2021 and June 2, 2021 Orders. The Court will file this Opinion & Order under temporary seal to allow consideration of any sealing or redaction requests. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

| 10/21/2021 | Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Alison J. Nathan: Pretrial Conference as to Ghislaine Maxwell held on 10/21/2021. Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell present via telephone with attorney Bobbi Sternheim, Jeff Pagliuca, Christian Everdell and Laura Menninger via telephone. AUSA Lara Pomerantz, Maurene Comey, Alison Moe and Andrew Rohrbach for the government via telephone. Court Reporter Carol Ganley via telephone. Pretrial Conference held via telephone. Transcript. (jbo) (Entered: 10/25/2021)
| 10/22/2021 | 364 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: For the reasons stated on the record at yesterday's conference, the Court will implement the following procedures for jury selection: A screening questionnaire will be administered on November 4, 5, and 12. The Clerk's Office will create a corresponding list of names and randomly assigned juror numbers. The list will be provided to counsel and the Court for use throughout jury selection. Jurors will be identified on the questionnaire and in court throughout the process by their assigned number only. Completed questionnaires will be copied and distributed to defense counsel by the U.S. Attorney's Office. After reviewing the completed questionnaires, counsel must confer in good faith and jointly submit four lists: (1) prospective jurors that both sides agree should proceed to voir dire; (2) prospective jurors that both sides agree should be excused; (3) prospective jurors that the defense believes should be excused; and (4) prospective jurors that the defense believes should be excused, but not the Government. Lists for questionnaires completed on November 4 and 5 will be due to the Court via email by November 7. Lists for questionnaires completed on November 12 will be due to the Court via email by November 13. If necessary, there will be an in-person conference on November 15 at 9:30 a.m. to resolve any disputes. Voir dire will proceed on November 16-19. The Court will conduct one-on-one voir dire with each prospective juror in the presence of the parties and with public access to the proceeding. At the conference, both sides indicated the potential need for additional procedures during voir dire under certain circumstances. See Transcript at 1011. As the Court indicated, it will consider proposed narrowly tailored measures that may be necessary during voir dire on a case-by-case basis. See id. at 12. The Court will decide in due course whether the exercise of peremptory strikes will proceed on November 19 or November 29. The Court implements these procedures taking into account the significant publicity this case has garnered, the nature of the charges, and the District's COVID-19 protocols. These procedures are carefully balanced and tailored to ensure the safety of the parties and prospective jurors in light of the continuing pandemic; to ensure juror candor, impartiality, and privacy; and to ensure the First Amendment right to public access of criminal proceedings. Also for the reasons stated on the record at yesterday's conference, the request to seal the parties' proposed questionnaire and voir dire and the Court's draft questionnaire and voir dire until after jury selection is completed is denied. Although the Court has and will continue to implement tailored measures to ensure a fair trial despite significant media interest, see Dkt. Nos. 28, 81, 95, 99, 101, 232, 241, 284, 301, 315, the defense did not justify sealing the entirety of the proposed and draft questionnaires and voir dire. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court's planned individual voir dire process is designed to carefully probe the prior exposure to and the potential influence of any pre-trial media. As noted at the conference, the parties may continue to propose for the Court's consideration, any appropriate and tailored procedures in light of the specific factors related to this case and upcoming trial.

10/29/2021 402 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of Defendant's letter regarding delivery of Defendant's legal mail at MDC. Dkt. No. 381 . The Government is hereby ORDERED to respond by Tuesday, November 2, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 10/29/2021)(bw) (Entered: 11/02/2021)
10/31/2021 400 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the Defendant's motion under Federal Rule of Evidence 412, Dkt. No. 378, and the Defendant's motion in limine to exclude under Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993), Dkt. No. 386. The issues raised in the two motions overlap significantly. The Court is required under Federal Rule of Evidence 412 to conduct an in camera hearing. Fed. R. Evid. 412 ("Before admitting evidence under this rule, the court must conduct an in camera hearing and give the victim and parties a right to attend and be heard. Unless the court orders otherwise, the motion, related materials, and the record of the hearing must remain under seal.). In addition, the Court has determined it will conduct a Daubert hearing with respect to the Defendant's motion under Federal Rule of Evidence 702. Because of the overlap in the substance of the motions, the Court will conduct the two proceedings back to back. The Court previously set a tentative date for the Rule 412 Motion hearing as November 5, 2021. Dkt. No. 354. The Court is prepared to proceed with both hearings on that date. Alternatively, the proceedings could be held on either the afternoon of November 9 or the afternoon of November 10. The Government shall confer with its proposed expert regarding availability for the Daubert hearing as well as with alleged victims who wish to attend and be heard at the Rule 412 Motion hearing. After doing so, the parties shall confer with each other as to availability. On or before November 2, 2021, the parties shall jointly file a letter with the Court indicating whether the hearings be held on November 5, 9, or 10. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

The Court is in receipt of the parties' proposed redactions to the parties' motions in limine, responses in opposition, replies in support, and related exhibits. As the Court indicated at today's conference, some of the parties' proposed redactions are overbroad considering the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). In https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?211087015221896-L_1_0-1 59/113 DOJ-OGR-00020681

particular, for the reasons stated at today's conference, the Court denies the Government's request to redact section ten of the Government's motion in limine. See Dkt. No. 380. The Court will also not permit redactions pertaining to the general description of evidence or anticipated testimony as such redactions are unnecessary to protect the privacy interests of the individuals implicated. Accordingly, the parties must propose more tailored redactions consistent with the Court's discussion at today's conference. The parties are ORDERED to submit the proposals to the Court via email by November 4, 2021. In order to facilitate the Court's review of the requests, the Court requires the parties to submit the proposed redactions as a single document and with the proposed redactions highlighted.

This conclusion is based on representations from MDC legal counsel in the letter submitted under seal because it discusses BOP security protocols, see Dkt. No. 412, as well as the Court's communication with the United States Marshal for the Southern District of New York. The Government, BOP, and USMS shall continue to take all available measures consistent with security protocols to ensure the Defendant has sufficient rest, nutrition, and comfort in order to be https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?2110870152221896-L_1_0-1 63/113 DOJ-OGR-00020685

11/09/2021 427 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: Attached is the Court's revised draft preliminary remarks to be recorded and played before each voir dire session. The Court is in receipt of the Government's letter approving of the remarks, Dkt. No. 420, and the Defendant's proposed additions, Dkt. No. 419. The revised remarks adopt all but one of the Defendant's proposals because the Court's subsequent revisions eliminated that portion of the script. In particular, the Court has made three additional changes in order to accurately explain the logistics of voir dire. Each of these changes is reflected in redline. The parties are ORDERED to indicate by letter on or before November 11, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. whether or not they have any objections or suggestions the Court's revised preliminary remarks to be played before each voir dire session. Attached is also the Court's revised draft voir dire in redline. The Court's revisions simplify the phrasing of questions 1, 2, 3, 10, 13, 25, and 37 in an effort to maximize the time dedicated to questioning each prospective juror. The revision to question 11 reflects the Court's oral ruling on November 1, 2021 regarding the use of pseudonyms for certain witnesses. The revisions to questions 9, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, and 33 are non-substantive changes to question numbers in order to accurately reference the corresponding question numbers on the jury questionnaire or are grammatical changes. Attached is also the Court's draft instruction sheet for those jurors who are not struck for cause and will return for the exercise of peremptory strikes, as discussed at the November 1 conference. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to indicate by letter on or before November 12, 2021 whether or not they have any objections or suggestions to the revised voir dire and draft instruction sheet. Finally, the parties are ORDERED to jointly submit the list of individuals and locations who may be mentioned at trial for questions 11 and 12 of the voir dire on or before November 14, 2021.

11/12/2021 458 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the Government's letter motion seeking clarification on two items from the November 1, 2021 pretrial conference. Dkt. No. 455. As to the first item, the Government seeks clarification about the line between permissible and impermissible cross-examination for witnesses testifying under a pseudonym. The Government's suggested level of generality as to permissible cross-examination of the witnesses' careers would unduly curtail the Defendant's Sixth Amendment right to meaningful cross-examination. See United States v. Figueroa, 548 F.3d 222, 227 (2d Cir. 2008). The line of questioning the Government identifies may be relevant to a juror's credibility determination and thus the Court will not limit the Defendant's ability to pursue such questioning on cross-examination. As the Court noted at the November 1 conference, the Defendant may not elicit the name of a specific employer, but the type and genre of employment may be relevant to the jury's assessment of credibilty.

11/19/2021 477 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. On October 29, 2021, Defendant filed a motion in limine to exclude evidence related to Accuser-3. Dkt. Nos. 387, 444. The Court twice heard argument related to this motion, including extensive argument at the November 10, 2021 in camera hearing that was sealed pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412. See generally Nov. 1, 2021 Transcript; Nov. 10, 2021 Transcript. The Court has also considered supplemental briefing from the parties. That briefing has been filed temporarily under seal to permit the parties the opportunity to propose redactions in accordance with Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). In a Memorandum Opinion & Order filed under temporary seal, the Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part the Defendant's motion. The Memorandum Opinion & Order lays out the permissible and impermissible testimony that may be offered by this witness based on Rules 412, 404, 401, and 403. The Court will send the temporarily sealed Memorandum Opinion & Order to the parties. By November 21, 2021, the parties are ORDERED to inform the Court whether either seeks sealing or limited redactions of the Courts Memorandum Opinion & Order and of the supplemental briefing, justifying any such request by reference to Federal Rule of Evidence 412(c)(2) and/or the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v.

11/19/2021 690 MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Before the Court is the Defendant's fourth motion in limine to "exclude evidence related to Accuser-3," to whom the Court refers as Witness-3, on the grounds that the testimony is not direct evidence of the charged conspiracies and is inadmissible under Federal Rules of Evidence 404(b) and 403. Dkt. Nos. 387, 444. The Court has twice heard argument related to this motion, including argument at the November 10, 2021 in camera hearing that was sealed pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412. See generally Nov. 1, 2021 Transcript; Nov. 10, 2021 Transcript. At the November 1, 2021 hearing, the Court provided a brief explanation of its current position based on the information then before it, but the Court ultimately reserved ruling pending additional briefing. The Court is now in receipt of the parties' additional briefing and accordingly is prepared to resolve the motion.(See Footnote 1 on this Memorandum Opinion & Order). The Government now proffers that the anticipated testimony of Witness-3 will describe how she met the Defendant and her relationship with the Defendant and Mr. Epstein. In particular, Witness-3 is anticipated to testify how Defendant introduced her to Mr. Epstein, how massages progressed to involve sexual activity, and Ms. Maxwell's role in facilitating those massages. Based on all of the information now before the Court, including a substantially more detailed proffer by the Government as to the anticipated testimony, see Gov. Supp. Ltr. at 2-3 (Nov. 5, 2021); see also Dkt. No. 452 at 42-43, the Court concludes that some of the anticipated testimony may serve as direct evidence of the Mann Act counts....[*** See this Memorandum Opinion & ***]... The parties may submit any requested edits to the proposed limiting instructions that are consistent with the Court's ruling or indicate that they have

The Court hereby ORDERS the Administrator of the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program to produce to the Court via electronic thumb drive any materials responsive to the subpoena as soon as possible, but no later than 12:00 p.m. on November 24, 2021. Accordingly, the parties shall negotiate a protective order and submit the proposal for approval by the Court no later than 12:00 p.m. on November 24, 2021 (Signed by Judge Alison J.

11/22/2021 691 MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Defense on November 1, 2021, noticed eight expert witnesses. Def. Br., Ex. 1 ("Notice"). Two of those experts, Dr. Park Dietz and Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, are expected to offer opinions that rebut opinions of the Government's expert witness, Dr. Lisa Rocchio. The Government on November 8, 2021, filed a motion to partially preclude the testimony of Dr. Dietz and Dr. Loftus. Dkt. No. 424. The Court has already addressed that motion. On November 15, 2021, the Government moved to fully or partially preclude the testimony of the remaining six experts. The Defense filed a response on November 19, 2021. The Court addressed the admissibility of Dr. Ryan Hall in a separate written opinion. In this opinion, the Court addresses the preliminary admissibility of Bennett Gershman based on the parties' current proffers...[*** See this Memorandum Opinion & Order ***]... III. Conclusion. The Court therefore grants the Government's motion to preclude Gershman's expert testimony. Because this is a preliminary pre-trial ruling, it is possible that facts and circumstances at trial would alter the Court's analysis. In that event, the Defense must re-raise its request to admit Gershman as an expert witness. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 11/22/2021)(bw) (Entered: 06/29/2022)

Conclusion. The Court therefore grants the Government's motion to preclude Dr. Hall's expert testimony.

12/09/2021 535 MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Government seeks to admit what has been identified as Government Exhibit 52 ("GX 52"), and submit to the jury a redacted version of GX 52. The Defense objects to the admission of GX 52 on authentication and hearsay grounds. The admissibility of the exhibit has been the subject of pretrial motion in limine briefing and extensive supplemental briefing. See Dkt. Nos. 390, 397, 398, 457, 476, 490. This includes supplemental briefing received on December 8, 2021, after the authenticating witness, Mr. Juan Alessi, underwent direct examination by the Government and voir dire by the Defense. The Court reserved ruling on the exhibit, pending what was anticipated to be additional testimony. Trial Tr. at 876. The Court now overrules the Defenses objections. The parties are ORDERED to confer and propose a limiting instruction consistent with this ruling on or before today, December 9, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to confer and prepare a stipulation that Government Exhibits 52A, 52D, 52E, 52F, 52G, and 52H are true and correct photocopies of five pages from GX 52.

12/15/2021 | 548 | MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Defense on December 12, 2021, moved to permit three anticipated witnesses to testify under a pseudonym or their first names only. The Government filed a letter opposing this request on December 14, 2021. The Defense's primary contention is that some form of anonymity for its witnesses is justified by the same reasons that the Court permitted three alleged victims and two related government witnesses to testify under pseudonyms. The Court disagrees with this basic premise and denies the Defense's motion....[*** See this https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?2110870152221896-L_1_0-1 82/113 DOJ-OGR-00020704

Memorandum Opinion & Order ***... Last, the Court emphasizes that while it currently denies the Defense's motion, the Defense may of course raise, and the Court will consider, objections that particular lines of questioning into witnesses' backgrounds or lives are irrelevant, cumulative, intended to harass, or otherwise inappropriate. See, e.g., Smith v. Illinois, 390 U.S. 129, 133 (1968) (emphasizing that even when anonymity is not warranted, the court has a duty to protect a witness "from questions which go beyond the bounds of proper cross-examination merely to harass, annoy or humiliate him").

12/16/2021 551 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint letter regarding the admission of prior inconsistent statements. The parties' letter notes "that many of these statements raise one of two questions: (1) must counsel show the witness the prior inconsistent statement under Rule 613(b), and (2) is a statement admissible when the witness affirms that the 3500 material contains the inconsistent statement and also expresses disagreement with the substance." The parties are hereby ORDERED to submit a letter citing authority (beyond the rule itself) for their respective positions. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to indicate each disputed prior inconsistent statement that was read into the record. Letters must be submitted as soon as possible but no later than today, December 16, 2021, at 10:15 p.m. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to docket their respective letters by tomorrow, December 17, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

No. 569, but sets the following schedule for any other post-verdict motion by the Defense: Defense motion: February 4, 2022; Government opposition: February 18, 2022; Defense reply: March 4, 2022.

Retained counsel has communicated to the Court that the juror does not wish to have counsel appointed. Accordingly, the Court will not appoint CJA counsel as indicated in its prior order. See Dkt.

01/12/2022 575 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The parties are ORDERED to submit via email any proposed redactions on or before January 13, 2022, justifying any such request by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). If any redactions are proposed, the Court will determine whether any are appropriate and then docket the motion. The parties shall respond to Juror 50s motion on or before January 20, 2022. Upon further reflection, unless and until Juror No. 50 is permitted to intervene, he may have no standing to be heard on the question of whether an inquiry should be conducted. Accordingly, the Court withdraws the aspect of its prior order setting January 26, 2022, as the date by which counsel for Juror 50 should file a submission on the issue of the appropriateness of an inquiry. Dkt. No. 571. The Court will hear from the parties first regarding Juror 50's pending motion. Depending on the resolution of that motion, the Court will provide further guidance to counsel for Juror 50 regarding any permitted submission. If a further submission is permitted, the Court will provide ECF docketing access to counsel for Juror 50 at that time (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 1/12/22)(jw) (Entered: 01/12/2022)
01/14/2022 576 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court required the parties to indicate whether Juror 50's motion to intervene and to be provided a copy of the jurors completed questionnaire and voir dire should be redacted. Dkt. No. 575. In response, the parties have submitted letters to the Court indicating their differing views on whether Juror 50s motion should be docketed at all. Upon further reflection, the Courtconcludes that it must first address the threshold question of whether an inquiry is permittedand/or required before considering Juror 50s requests. Accordingly, the Court will not consider or act on Juror 50's request to intervene and to be provided a copy of the jurors completed questionnaire and voir dire until the Court receives the parties briefing on the appropriateness of an inquiry and the nature of any such inquiry. The Court will maintain Juror 50's motion temporarily under seal until the Court considers the parties arguments

01/14/2022 577 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint letter regarding a schedule for sentencing and resolution of the severed perjury counts. Dkt. No. 574. The Court hereby schedules the sentencing in this matter for June 28, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. The Court will delay ordering the preparation of a presentence investigation report until April 2022. The Court previously set the schedule for briefing on the new trial motion as well as all other post-verdict motions. Dkt. No. 571. That schedule remains in place. The Court adopts the parties' proposal that the scheduling of any proceedings related to the severed perjury counts be deferred until the post-verdict motions are resolved. By January 18, 2022, the Government shall indicate in a joint letter whether it is seeking an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act for the perjury counts and the basis for any requested exclusion. In the joint letter, the defense shall indicate whether it consents to the proposed exclusion of time (Sentencing set for 6/28/2022 at 11:00 AM before Judge Alison J. Nathan.)

The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this exclusion from speedy trial computations outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial on these counts because the time is necessary for the parties to research and brief post-trial motions.

docket. The Government subsequently submitted one court exhibit with the name unredacted of a witness subject to the Court's anonymity order. Subsequently the Defense indicated in a temporarily sealed letter why the name was unredacted. The Government is accordingly ORDERED to docket a letter on ECF on or before January 28, 2022, indicating why a redaction is no longer being sought for the name of this witness. Once the Government confirms in that letter that it no longer seeks redaction of the name, then the Defense may file the temporarily sealed letter on the docket without redaction of the name. The Court will then docket all Court Exhibits. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 1/26/22)(jw) (Entered: 01/26/2022)
01/26/2022 585 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of Defendant's motion for a new trial and accompanying exhibits, which she requests to file under seal. See Dkt. No. 580. The Court has also received requests from media organizations to unseal the motion. The Court is aware there is substantial public interest in this matter and will ensure that the First Amendment right to public access is fully safeguarded. At the same time, the Court must act deliberately and hear from the parties in considering these sealing issues in order to ensure the integrity of any potential inquiry process going forward, should one be ordered. That too is in the public, as well as the Defendant's and the Government's, interest. Accordingly, to the extent the Defense requests that arguments in favor of sealing should themselves be sealed, that request is DENIED. Arguments in favor of sealing can be made in such a way so as not to undermine the grounds for seeking sealing or redaction in the first instance. The Defense is therefore ORDERED to file a letter on the public docket on or before February 1, 2022, that justifies the proposed sealing by reference to the three-part test in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Government may file on ECF a response to the Defenses justification letter on or before February 4, 2022. The Government's opposition to the Defenses new trial motion is due February 2, 2022, Dkt. No. 571. Per the established practice in this case, the Government must provide a copy via email to the Defense to allow the Defense the opportunity to propose narrowly tailored redactions and/or sealing. If either party proposes redactions to or sealing of the Government's anticipated opposition, a letter justifying such redactions or sealing must be filed on the public docket. The Defense letter must be filed on or before February 8, 2022, and the Government letter must be filed by February 11, 2022. The same process will apply for any Defense reply in support, which is due February 9, 2022, Dkt. No. 571. If redactions or sealing are proposed, the Defense letter justifying such requests would be due February 15, 2022, and the Government letter would be due February 18, 2022. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to address the New York Times Company's motion to unseal the filled-out questionnaires for the twelve seated jurors. See Dkt. No. 583.

The parties have proposed redactions to several exhibits and the sealing of Court Exhibit 4. The Court concludes that the proposed redactions are consistent with the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006), and narrowly tailored. The redactions serve the purpose of protecting the anonymity of jurors and of victim-witnesses subject to the Court's anonymity order. With respect to Court Exhibit 4, rather than seal the entire document, the Court has redacted the information that would potentially identify the victim-witness who testified pursuant to the Court's anonymity order.

See Dkt. Nos. 590, 594, 595. Several media organizations have also filed letters seeking unsealing. The Court is also in receipt of Juror 50's motion to intervene. Both the Government and the Defendant oppose intervention. The Defendant seeks to strike or, in the alternative, seal Juror 50's motion. For the reasons outlined more fully below, the Court rules as follows. First, the Defendant's motion to temporarily seal in their entirety all documents related to the motion for a new trial is DENIED. Any sealing of judicial documents must be narrowly tailored to serve competing interests. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 2/11/2022)(jw) (Entered: 02/11/2022)

02/24/2022 607 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the Defendant's proposed redactions revised in response to this Court's order. See Dkt. Nos. 605, 606. The Court has reviewed the proposed redactions and concludes that they are in accordance with its prior orders. See Dkt. Nos. 596, 605. The narrowly tailored redactions further the important interests of helping ensure the integrity of any inquiry and maintaining juror anonymity and privacy. As the Court explained in its February 11 Order, these interests justify redaction of the questions the parties propose be asked at any hearing and specific factual information developed by the parties that has not been publicly reported in the press and that the parties propose be inquired about at any forthcoming hearing. Dkt. No. 596 at 4 (citing United States v. McCoy et al., No. 14 Cr. 6181 (EAW), Dkt. No. 312 (text order) (W.D.N.Y. May 26, 2017); id. Dkt. No. 329 at 38-39; Press-Enter. Co. v. Superior Ct. of Cal., Riverside Cnty., 464 U.S. 501, 511-12 (1984)).

02/24/2022 609 MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO INTERVENE AND FOR RELEASE OF SEALED JURY QUESTIONNAIRE AND TRANSCRIPT, ON BEHALF OF PROPOSED INTERVENOR, JUROR 50 as to Ghislaine Maxwell re: 608 MOTION. (ap) (Entered: 02/24/2022)
02/24/2022 610 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: for the reasons fully explained in the Opinion & Order, a hearing is necessary to resolve the Defendant's motion. Because of the important interest in the finality of judgments, the standard for obtaining a post-verdict hearing is high. The Court concludes, and the Government concedes, that the demanding standard for holding a post-verdict evidentiary hearing is met as to whether Juror 50 failed to respond truthfully during the jury selection process to whether he was a victim of sexual abuse. Following trial, Juror 50 made several direct, unambiguous statements to multiple media outlets about his own experience that do not pertain to jury deliberations and that cast doubt on the accuracy of his responses during jury selection. Juror 50's post-trial statements are "clear, strong, substantial and incontrovertible evidence that a specific, non-speculative impropriety"-namely, a false statement during jury selection has occurred. United States v. Baker, 899 F.3d 123, 130 (2d Cir. 2018). To be clear, the potential impropriety is not that someone with a history of sexual abuse may have served on the jury. Rather, it is the potential failure to respond truthfully to questions during the jury selection process that asked for that material information so that any potential bias could be explored. In contrast, the demanding standard for ordering an evidentiary hearing is not met as to the conduct of any other juror. The Court DENIES the request to conduct a hearing with respect to the other jurors. The Court also DENIES the Defendant's request for a broader hearing and pre-hearing discovery. The Court therefore ORDERS that a hearing take place at which the Court will question Juror 50 under oath. The Court further ORDERS that Juror 50's questionnaire be unsealed, for the reasons explained in the Opinion & Order. The Court will email counsel for Juror 50 a copy of his questionnaire and a copy of this Order. As also explained in the Opinion & Order, the Court will conduct the questioning at the public hearing with input from counsel for the Defendant and the Government. The parties may submit by email proposed questions in accordance with the Opinion & Order on or before March 1, 2022. The hearing will take place on March 8, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. The Court ORDERS Juror 50 to appear in Courtroom 906 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York at that date and time to give testimony under oath in response to the Court's questions. The Court will ensure public access and will provide information on public access as soon as it is available. The Court will send the temporarily sealed Opinion & Order to the parties. By noon on February 25, 2022, the parties are ORDERED to inform the Court whether either seeks limited redactions to the Opinion & Order, conforming any requests to this Court's prior order, Dkt. No. 596, and justifying any such request by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006).

The limited redactions to the signed immunity order and the Defendants proposed questions are narrowly tailored to further the interest of protecting juror anonymity.

03/10/2022 640 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. Per the Court's instruction at the March 8 hearing, the parties submitted revised redactions to their briefing on the Defendants motion for a new trial. The Court rejects the Defendant's proposed redaction to page 8, lines 6-7 of her reply because it is not necessary to protect any continuing interest in juror anonymity and privacy. See Dkt. No. 607. The Court concludes that the remaining proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to further the important interest of protecting juror anonymity and privacy. Press-Enter. Co. v. Superior Ct. of Cal., Riverside Cnty., 464 U.S. 501, 511-12 (1984).

| 04/01/2022 | | REMARK as to USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell. Case reassigned to Judge Broderick due to an administrative error. Case returned to Judge Nathan. (bw) (Entered: 04/01/2022) |
| 04/01/2022 | 653 | OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court concludes that Juror 50 testified credibly and truthfully at the post-trial hearing. His failure to disclose his prior sexual abuse during the jury selection process was highly unfortunate, but not deliberate. The Court further concludes that Juror 50 harbored no bias toward the Defendant and could serve as a fair and impartial juror. The requirements for a new trial under McDonough are not satisfied. The Defendant's motion for a new trial pursuant to Rule 33 is therefore DENIED. The Court orders the preparation of the presentence investigation report. With respect to Counts 7 and 8, the Court hereby excludes time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), from today's date through April 22, 2022. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting this exclusion from speedy trial computations outweigh the interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial on these counts because the pending post-trial motions affect the scheduling considerations set forth in the Government's January 10, 2022 letter. See Dkt. No. 574. The Defendant consents to this exclusion. Dkt. No. 650. The Court will rule on the Defendant's remaining post-verdict motions in due course. Sentencing remains scheduled for June 28, 2022. This resolves docket numbers 613, 614, 642, 650, and 651. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

After conferring with the Probation Office, the Court determines that advancing the PSR disclosure schedule will aid the parties in preparing their sentencing submissions. Further the Court hereby adjusts its standard sentencing submission schedule to ensure sufficient time to prepare for sentencing. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the following schedule for sentencing: May 24, 2022 - First PSR disclosure; May 31, 2022 - Defendant objections due; June 6, 2022 - Government response due; June 9, 2022 - Second PSR disclosure; June 15, 2022 - Defendant sentencing submission due; |

June 22, 2022 - Government sentencing submission due; June 28, 2022 - Sentencing. This resolves Dkt. No. 655. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 4/26/2022) (bw) (Entered: 04/26/2022)
04/29/2022 | 657 | OPINION & ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell....[*** See this Opinion & Order ***]...V. Conclusion. For the foregoing reasons, the Court denies the Defendant's Rule 29 motion because the jury's guilty verdicts were supported by the witness testimony and documentary evidence presented at trial. The Court denies the Defendant's motion based on constructive amendment or variance because the Government's evidence at trial, and summation all captured the core of criminality charged in the Indictment, and the Defendant was not prejudiced by any alleged variance. Further, because the Government neither intentionally delayed its prosecution nor was the Defendant prejudiced by any delay, the Court also denies the Defendant's motion based on pre-indictment delay. Finally, the Court grants the Defendant's motion as to multiplicity. The Government concedes that Count One is multiplicitous with Count Three, and the Court further concludes that Count Five is multiplicitous with Count Three. Count Five, like Counts One and Three, charged the Defendant's participation in the same decade-long unlawful agreement with the Defendant's continuous coconspirator, Jeffrey Epstein, to groom and sexually abuse underage girls. Accordingly, the Court will enter judgment of conviction on Counts Three, Four, and Six. The Defendant's sentencing date remains scheduled for June 28, 2022. The Court previously set a schedule for sentencing submissions that remains in effect. Dkt. No. 656. This resolves Dkt. No. 599. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

06/27/2022 686 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court has now received and docketed the full set of submissions related to victim impact statements that were filed in accordance with this Court's prior order. Dkt. No. 668. The Court received statements from Annie Farmer, Kate, Virginia Giuffre, Maria Farmer, Sarah Ransome, Teresa Helm, Juliette Bryant, and Elizabeth Stein. As indicated in its prior order, the Court will exercise its discretion to permit all of these individuals to be heard in writing. Dkt. No. 682. The Court also denied the Defendants redaction requests. Id. All unredacted statements are now part of the record. Dkt. Nos. 674, 675-1. Also as previously indicated in its order, the Court will permit Annie Farmer, Kate, and Virginia Giuffre to make an oral statement at sentencing if they wish to do so. Dkt. No. 682. Further, having now reviewed the full set of requests, and having heard from the Government that it does not object, Dkt. No. 678, the Court deems it feasible to exercise its discretion to permit the remaining individuals who seek to themselves make an oral statement at sentencing to do so. They are: Teresa Helm, Sarah Ransome, and Elizabeth Stein. In order to feasibly accomplish this in light of the anticipated length of the sentencing proceeding, while ensuring fairness and avoiding delay of sentencing, each individual speaking orally may read a shortened version of their previously submitted written statement. The Court deems counsel for the individuals to be responsible for ensuring that anticipated statements conform to this requirement. The Government shall promptly provide copies of this order to counsel for the eight individuals who submitted statements. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

07/13/2022 726 ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the parties' proposed redactions to motions that were not previously docketed. See Dkt. No. 698. With one exception, the Court concludes that the proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to protect information subject to Fed. R. Evid. 412 and the privacy interests of witnesses, including individuals subject to the Court's pseudonym order, and individuals who were anticipated to be called as witnesses at trial, but were not ultimately called. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). The Court will file unredacted copies of all items under seal. The Court concludes, however, that the proposed redactions to Dkt. No. 725 are not narrowly tailored. The private information of victim-witnesses who are discussed in the letter may be protected by narrow redactions. However, there is no basis to redact the letter's general request to identify the proper scope of cross-examination. Accordingly, the Defendant is ORDERED to confer with the Government and docket proposed revised redactions on or before 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022. The letter at Dkt. No. 725 was filed under temporary seal at Dkt. No. 712. Because the Court concludes that sealing in not justified, the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to strike the entry at Dkt. No. 712 from the docket. The Court's Chambers also received an email from Defense counsel inquiring whether to docket three joint letters regarding jury strikes that were previously filed with the Court, but not docketed. Because docketing the letters would not undermine the important interest of protecting juror anonymity and privacy, the parties are ORDERED to docket the three letters on or before 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022. Finally, to ensure a complete record, the Court has identified four additional documents that have not previously been docketed nor subject to a sealing request: November 19, 2021 Administrator Feldman's Motion to Quash Defendant's Rule 17(c)(3) subpoena, with exhibits November 22, 2021 Defendant's Response to Motions to Quash Defendant's Rule 17(c)(3) subpoena December 6, 2021 Jane's Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Call Counsel to Testify December 15, 2021 Jane's Opposition to Defendant's December 13, 2021 Motion to Call Counsel to Testify The parties are ORDERED to confer with each other and counsel for the relevant movants and indicate on or before 12:00 p.m. on Friday, July 15, 2022, whether there are requests to seal or redact the outstanding documents. Any documents not subject to a sealing request must be docketed on ECF by that same date. Any proposed redactions must be justified by reference to the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga. This resolves Dkt. No. 698.

Terms of the Agreement:
1. Epstein shall plead guilty (not nolo contendere) to the Indictment as currently pending against him in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case No. 2006-cf-009495AXXMB) charging one (1) count of solicitation of prostitution, in violation of Fl. Stat. § 796.07. In addition, Epstein shall plead guilty to an Information filed by the State Attorney's Office charging Epstein with an offense that requires him to register as a sex offender, that is, the solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution, in violation of Florida Statutes Section 796.03;
2. Epstein shall make a binding recommendation that the Court impose a thirty (30) month sentence to be divided as follows:
(a) Epstein shall be sentenced to consecutive terms of twelve (12) months and six (6) months in county jail for all charges, without any opportunity for withholding adjudication or sentencing, and without probation or community control in lieu of imprisonment; and
(b) Epstein shall be sentenced to a term of twelve (12) months of community control consecutive to his two terms in county jail as described in Term 2(a), supra.
3. This agreement is contingent upon a Judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit accepting and executing the sentence agreed upon between the State Attorney's Office and Epstein, the details of which are set forth in this agreement.
4. The terms contained in paragraphs 1 and 2, supra, do not foreclose Epstein and the State Attorney's Office from agreeing to recommend any additional charge(s) or any additional term(s) of probation and/or incarceration.
5. Epstein shall waive all challenges to the Information filed by the State Attorney's Office and shall waive the right to appeal his conviction and sentence, except a sentence that exceeds what is set forth in paragraph (2), supra.
6. Epstein shall provide to the U.S. Attorney's Office copies of all

sentenced not later than October 26, 2007. The United States has no objection to Epstein self-reporting to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008.
12. Epstein agrees that he will not be afforded any benefits with respect to gain time, other than the rights, opportunities, and benefits as any other inmate, including but not limited to, eligibility for gain time credit based on standard rules and regulations that apply in the State of Florida. At the United States' request, Epstein agrees to provide an accounting of the gain time he earned during his period of incarceration.
13. The parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part of any public record. If the United States receives a Freedom of Information Act request or any compulsory process commanding the disclosure of the agreement, it will provide notice to Epstein before making that disclosure.
Epstein understands that the United States Attorney has no authority to require the State Attorney's Office to abide by any terms of this agreement. Epstein understands that it is his obligation to undertake discussions with the State Attorney's Office and to use his best efforts to ensure compliance with these procedures, which compliance will be necessary to satisfy the United States' interest. Epstein also understands that it is his obligation to use his best efforts to convince the Judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit to accept Epstein's binding recommendation regarding the sentence to be imposed, and understands that the failure to do so will be a breach of the agreement.
In consideration of Epstein's agreement to plead guilty and to provide compensation in the manner described above, if Epstein successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Leslie Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova. Further, upon execution of this agreement and a plea agreement with the State Attorney's Office, the federal Grand Jury investigation will be suspended, and all pending federal Grand Jury subpoenas will be held in abeyance unless and until the defendant violates any term of this agreement. The defendant likewise agrees to withdraw his pending motion to intervene and to quash certain grand jury subpoenas. Both parties agree to maintain their evidence, specifically evidence requested by or directly related to the grand jury subpoenas that have been issued, and including certain computer equipment, inviolate until all of the terms of this agreement have been satisfied. Upon the successful completion of the terms of this agreement, all outstanding grand jury subpoenas shall be deemed withdrawn.

OPINION & ORDER
ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge:
On April 16, 2021, the Court issued an Opinion & Order granting in part and denying in part Ghislaine Maxwell's various pretrial motions seeking to dismiss portions of the Government's (S1) superseding indictment and compel discovery. Prior to the issuance of that Opinion & Order but after the motions were fully briefed, a grand jury returned a second (S2) superseding indictment adding a sex trafficking count and sex trafficking conspiracy count. The Court did not address the new charges in the April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. On May 25, 2021, Maxwell filed another round of pretrial motions seeking to dismiss the S2 indictment in whole or in part and to compel discovery. Dkt. No. 292, 293. For appeal preservation purposes or otherwise, the arguments largely, though not entirely, rehash the positions rejected by the Court in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. To the extent new arguments are made, they are addressed below. All pending motions are DENIED. The Court provides a brief summary of its conclusions here and its reasoning on the pages that follow:
- Maxwell moves to dismiss counts one, three, five, and six as barred by Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that the agreement does not bind the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

- Maxwell moves to dismiss counts five and six on the grounds that prosecuting her on those counts would violate her rights under the Double Jeopardy Clause. The Court concludes that Maxwell has not previously been put in jeopardy for these offenses and therefore her prosecution on these counts does not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause.
- Maxwell moves to dismiss counts five and six as untimely. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that the Government brought the charges within the applicable statute of limitations.
- Maxwell moves to dismiss count five and either count one or count three as multiplicitous. The Court again determines, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that this motion is premature and denies it without prejudice for renewal at trial.
- Maxwell moves to dismiss the S2 indictment for pre-indictment delay. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that Maxwell has not established that she suffered prejudice and therefore any delay has not violated her rights to due process.
- Maxwell moves for a bill of particulars related to counts five and six because they are too vague, and in particular do not provide specific dates. The Court again concludes, as it did in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that the charges are sufficiently specific.
- Maxwell moves to compel the Government to produce the statements of "Minor-Victim 4" in the S2 indictment as Brady material. The Court concludes that the current disclosure schedule gives Maxwell sufficient time to make effective use of any such statements and therefore immediate disclosure is not warranted.
I. Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement does not bar the charges in the S2 indictment
In its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order on Maxwell's first set of pretrial motions, the Court held that the non-prosecution agreement ("NPA") between Jeffrey Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida did not bar the charges against Maxwell in the S1 superseding indictment. See United States v. Maxwell, No. 20-cr-330 (AJN), 2021 WL 1518675, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 16, 2021). Maxwell now renews those arguments for the charges in the S2 superseding indictment. The Court understands the primary purpose of Maxwell's renewed motion to be to preserve these arguments for appellate review, and the Court denies the

renewed motion for substantially the same reasons set forth in its April 16 opinion. The Court will proceed to briefly explain why neither the new charges in the S2 superseding indictment nor the supplemental authority Maxwell cites change the Court's conclusion that the NPA does not bar the charges against her.
As the Court explained in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Second Circuit held in United States v. Annabi that "[a] plea agreement binds only the office of the United States Attorney for the district in which the plea is entered unless it affirmatively appears that the agreement contemplates a broader restriction." 771 F.2d 670, 672 (2d Cir. 1985) (per curiam). The Second Circuit's opinion in Annabi is clear, and that court has followed it steadfastly since. See, e.g., United States v. Gonzalez, 93 F. App'x 268, 270 (2d Cir. 2004); United States v. Brown, No. 99-1230(L), 2002 WL 3424494, at *2 (2d Cir. Apr. 26, 2002); United States v. Salemah, 152 F.3d 88, 120 (2d Cir. 1998) (per curiam); United States v. Rivera, 844 F.2d 916, 923 (2d Cir. 1988). The Second Circuit has held that language nearly identical to that in Epstein's NPA is not enough to overcome the presumption in favor of single-district plea agreements. See Salemah, 152 F.3d at 120. Adhering to this binding authority, this Court thus concluded (and continues to conclude) that the NPA does not bind the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. It thus provides Maxwell no defense in this case even if it would otherwise cover the conduct charged in the new counts in the S2 superseding indictment.
Maxwell advances two new arguments for why the Court should depart from this reasoning—the first in her renewed motion and the second in a letter of supplemental authority. See Dkt. Nos. 293, 310. In her renewed motion, she contends that Annabi contains an exception for out-of-district prosecutions for charges that are "identical to the dismissed charges." And in the letter of supplemental authority, she contends that the opinion of the Pennsylvania Supreme

Page 195 - DOJ-OGR-00020813
Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page195 of 208
A-191
Court in Commonwealth v. Cosby, No. 39 MAP 2020, 2021 WL 2674380 (Pa. June 30, 2021), requires dismissal. Neither argument is persuasive.
Annabi contains no exception for out-of-district prosecutions for charges that are "identical to the dismissed charges." In the language Maxwell cites from Annabi, the Second Circuit discussed (and rejected) a claim based on the Double Jeopardy Clause, not a claim based on the plea agreement in that case. See Annabi, 771 F.2d at 672. In that section of the opinion, the Second Circuit held that even if the charges had been identical to the dismissed charges, the defendants' double jeopardy claims would fail because they were never in jeopardy on the charges that were dismissed under the plea agreement. Nothing in Annabi suggests that the presumption in favor of single-district plea agreements does not apply if later charges in another district are sufficiently "identical" to the dismissed ones, and no subsequent Second Circuit case applying Annabi has so held. Annabi applies squarely to the facts of this case and binds this Court.
The Court also disagrees that Cosby mandates a different result. To begin with, this Court must follow the precedential opinions of the Second Circuit on questions of federal law, not those of a state court. Thus, nothing in Cosby could change this Court's view that Second Circuit precedent in Annabi forecloses Maxwell's arguments related to the NPA. In any event, the state court in Cosby did not purport to decide the same federal question at issue here. In Cosby, the court held that it was unfair for a district attorney to proceed with charges against Bill Cosby after the district attorney's office had, in that court's view of the facts, unequivocally promised that it would not charge him. Cosby, 2021 WL 2674380, at *34. That case did not involve a question of whether one office's promise bound another, much less whether a plea agreement in one federal district should be construed to apply in another district. Instead, the

Page 196 - DOJ-OGR-00020814
Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page196 of 208
A-192
case focused on whether prosecutors were required to honor a promise that the court found to be clear in the absence of a formal plea agreement. Even if this Court agreed with the analysis in Cosby, that opinion sheds no light on the proper interpretation of the NPA in this case.
After considering the arguments in Maxwell's renewed motion and letter of supplemental authority, the Court's view remains unchanged from its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. Under Second Circuit precedent, the NPA does not bind the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. It thus does not bar the charges in the S2 superseding indictment.
II. This prosecution does not violate the prohibition against double jeopardy
The Double Jeopardy Clause provides that "[n]o person shall be . . . subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb." U.S. Const. amend. V. "This protection applies both to successive punishments and to successive prosecutions for the same criminal offense." United States v. Dixon, 509 U.S. 688, 696 (1993). "A defendant may only raise a Double Jeopardy claim if he has been put in jeopardy (i.e. jeopardy has 'attached') sometime before the alleged 'second' prosecution." United States v. Podde, 105 F.3d 813, 816 (2d Cir. 1997). A defendant is put in jeopardy when the jury in their case is empaneled or upon the defendant's entry of a guilty plea. Crist v. Bretz, 437 U.S. 28, 35 (1978); Morris v. Reynolds, 264 F.3d 38, 49 (2d Cir. 2001). Until then, a defendant has not been put in jeopardy and the Government is free to commence a prosecution.
Maxwell has not previously been put in jeopardy for the offenses charged in this case. She concededly has not been punished or prosecuted for any prior offense. She was never charged in the Southern District of Florida in connection with the Epstein investigation. She agreed to nothing in Epstein's NPA, because she was not a party to it. She suffered no criminal consequences as a result of Epstein's guilty plea in Florida state court. To the contrary, there is

DOJ-OGR-00020814
Page 197 - DOJ-OGR-00020815
Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page197 of 208
A-193
no indication that Maxwell was even a subject of the Florida investigation. The Double Jeopardy Clause bars only successive prosecution or punishment for the same offense, and Maxwell has endured neither. Thus, the Double Jeopardy Clause does not bar the charges against her.
Despite facing no prior prosecution or punishment herself, Maxwell contends that she is immune from prosecution because Epstein was already punished for the same conspiracy. The cases she cites, however, deal with successive prosecutions of a particular defendant for the same conspiracy, not separate prosecutions of individual co-conspirators. See, e.g., United States v. Lopez, 356 F.3d 463, 469 (2d Cir. 2004). The Double Jeopardy Clause does not require all co-conspirators be tried together for related offenses. See Zafiro v. United States, 506 U.S. 534, 539 (1993); United States v. Hinton, 543 F.2d 1002, 1014 (2d Cir. 1976). Whether the Government could have charged Epstein again in this case has nothing to do with Maxwell's rights under the Double Jeopardy Clause.
Maxwell finally points to one case in which the Second Circuit held that a subsequent prosecution might not be permissible against a defendant whose charges were dismissed after her husband pleaded guilty. Dkt. No. 293 at 19 (citing United States v. Cambindo Valencia, 609 F.2d 603 (2d Cir. 1979)). However, the Court agrees with the Government that the result in Cambindo Valencia rested on the terms of the husband's plea agreement, not the Double Jeopardy Clause. See Cambindo Valencia, 609 F.2d at 638. No precedent stands for the proposition that an uncharged co-conspirator is put in jeopardy when another co-conspirator accepts a non-prosecution agreement. This is the first case in which Maxwell will be put in jeopardy for these offenses, and so this prosecution does not put her in jeopardy a second time.

III. Counts five and six are not time-barred
For most non-capital offenses, the statute of limitations under federal law is five years. 18 U.S.C. § 3282(a). Congress has enacted longer limitations periods for certain crimes, in particular for "offense[s] involving the sexual or physical abuse, or kidnapping" of a minor in 18 U.S.C. § 3283. Prior to 2003, the limitations period in § 3283 lasted until the victim reached the age of 25, and then Congress extended the limitations period to the life of the victim with the PROTECT Act of 2003, Pub. L. No. 108-21, 117 Stat 60. In 2006, Congress enacted 18 U.S.C. § 3299, which eliminated the statute of limitations for the sex trafficking of minors in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591 and for some other sex crimes. See 18 U.S.C. § 3299 ("Notwithstanding any other law, an indictment may be found or an information instituted at any time without limitation for any offense under . . . section 1591.")
In her previous motion, Maxwell argued that the Mann Act charges against her in the indictment were time-barred on the grounds that the extended limitations period § 3283 was not applicable. The Court denied that motion in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *5. Maxwell now argues that the new charges the Government has brought against her in the S2 indictment, Sex Trafficking Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 371) and Sex Trafficking (18 U.S.C. § 1591), are time-barred as well because § 3283 does not apply to those offenses either. She renews her contention from her previous motion that the limitations period in § 3283 only applies to offenses which "necessarily entail" the sexual abuse of a minor and argues that a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1591 does not. Thus, according to Maxwell's reasoning, the general five-year statute of limitations period in 18 U.S.C. § 3282(a) applies to the sex trafficking counts and, because the alleged conduct occurred from 2001 to 2004, the Government is now time-barred for prosecuting her for these offenses.

DOJ-OGR-00020816
Page 199 - DOJ-OGR-00020817
Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page199 of 208
A-195
The Court denies this motion for substantially similar reasons as those discussed in its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. As an initial matter, the Court reiterates that Maxwell's analysis of § 3283 is incorrect. As the Court explained, § 3283 does not call for a "categorical approach" nor an "essential ingredient" test, but instead requires that the defendant's conduct in that particular case involved the sexual abuse of a minor. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675 at *5-7. Here, there is no question that Maxwell is alleged to have engaged in activity that constitutes the sexual abuse of a minor with respect to the sex trafficking counts.
But in any event, as the Government pointed out in its brief - and as Maxwell did not contest in her reply - § 3283 is not the only statute of limitations that applies to the sex trafficking counts. As discussed above, in 2006, Congress enacted § 3299 to eliminate altogether the limitations period for the offense of sex trafficking children in violation of § 1591. See 18 U.S.C. § 3299.
Moreover, while the alleged sex trafficking in the S2 indictment is alleged to have occurred prior to the enactment of § 3299 in 2006, the Court holds that the provision nonetheless applies retroactively to cover that conduct. In its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Court analyzed § 3283 under the Landgraf v. USA Film Products, 511 U.S. 244, 280 (1994) framework and concluded that the limitations period applied retroactively so long as the previous limitations period had not yet expired. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *7-8. Similar to § 3283, which states that "[n]o statute of limitations that would otherwise preclude prosecution" shall apply, the language of § 3299 provides that an indictment may be instituted at any time for certain offenses "[n]otwithstanding any other law." As discussed in the Court's previous opinion with respect to § 3283, this kind of language unambiguously requires that the limitations period apply retroactively to prosecutions for offenses committed before the date of enactment so long as the

Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page200 of 208
A-196
applicable limitations period has not yet run - offenses that by definition are those for which "other law[s]" of limitation would otherwise bar prosecution. See 18 U.S.C. § 3299. Moreover, as the Court also explained, not only does this kind of language unambiguously require retroactivity, it also does not result in any impermissible retroactive effects so long as it does not revive time-barred claims. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *7-8. The Court therefore joins multiple other district courts in concluding that, like § 3283, § 3299 applies retroactively to offenses for which the previous limitations period has not yet run. See United States v. Nader, 425 F. Supp. 3d 619, 629 (E.D. Va. 2019); United States v. Pierre-Louis, No. 16 CR 541 (CM), 2018 WL 4043140, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 9, 2018); United States v. Vickers, No. 13-CR-128-A, 2014 WL 1838255, at *8 (W.D.N.Y. May 8, 2014); United States v. Senasi, No. 3:08-CR-253 (WWE), 2010 WL 2351484, at *3 (D. Conn. June 7, 2010).
The sex trafficking charges are therefore not time-barred. Regardless of whether it was the general five-year limitations period in § 3282(a) or the extended limitations period for sexual abuse of minors in § 3283 that was applicable to Maxwell's alleged conduct prior to the enactment of § 3299 in 2006, neither had expired by that date. Thus, as Maxwell does not contest, § 3299 applies retroactively to the sex trafficking offenses in the indictment and the Government is permitted to bring those charges without time limitation.
IV. Maxwell's motion to dismiss count five and either count one or count three as multiplicitous is premature
In her previous motions, Maxwell argued that either count one or count three of the S1 indictment, the Mann Act conspiracy charges, must be dismissed because the counts are multiplicitous. In the Court's April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Court joined many other courts in this Circuit holding that pretrial motions of this sort are premature in light of United States v. Josephberg, 459 F.3d 350, 355 (2d Cir. 2006), and the Court dismissed without

A-197
prejudice. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *14. In the instant motion, Maxwell similarly argues that count five of the S2 indictment, the sex trafficking conspiracy charge, is duplicative of either counts one or three. Maxwell's motion is denied without prejudice for the reasons stated in the Court's April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order.
V. The Government's delay in bringing the charges did not violate due process
Maxwell also renews her motion to dismiss the S2 indictment based on alleged improper pretrial delay. In its April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, the Court denied Maxwell's motion, concluding that her efforts to show actual and substantial prejudice fell far short of the "stringent standard" necessary to prevail on such a claim. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *9. Maxwell's motion to dismiss the S2 on these grounds fails for the same reasons. As before, nothing in the record indicates that the Government's delay in bringing these charges was designed to thwart Maxwell's ability to prepare a defense. However, it is sufficient to conclude that Maxwell does not make the strong showing of prejudice required to support this sort of claim. Maxwell contends that the Government's delay in bringing charges has prejudiced her interests because potential witnesses have died, others have forgotten, and records have been lost or destroyed. It is highly speculative that any of these factors would make a substantial difference in her case.
The Court thus again concludes for the reasons stated in the April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order, that Maxwell has failed to establish actual prejudice from the Government's delay in bringing charges. She may renew her motion if the factual record at trial shows otherwise. On the present record, neither the applicable statute of limitations nor due process bars the charges here.

A-198
VI. No bill of particulars is warranted
Maxwell moves for a bill of particulars as to counts five and six. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 7 requires that an indictment contain "a plain, concise, and definite written statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged[.]" The indictment must be specific enough to inform the defendant of the charges and allow the defendant to plead double jeopardy in a later prosecution based on the same events. See United States v. Stavroulakis, 952 F.2d 686, 693 (2d Cir. 1992). "Under this test, an indictment need do little more than to track the language of the statute charged and state the time and place (in approximate terms) of the alleged crime." United States v. Tramunti, 513 F.2d 1087, 1113 (2d Cir. 1975).
"Rule 7(f) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure permits a defendant to seek a bill of particulars in order to identify with sufficient particularity the nature of the charge pending against him, thereby enabling defendant to prepare for trial, to prevent surprise, and to interpose a plea of double jeopardy should he be prosecuted a second time for the same offense." United States v. Bortnovsky, 820 F.2d 572, 574 (2d Cir. 1987). "The purpose of a bill of particulars is to supplement the allegations in the indictment when necessary to (1) enable the defendant to prepare his defense, (2) avoid unfair surprise to the defendant at trial, and (3) preclude a second prosecution of the same offense." United States v. Mandell, 710 F. Supp. 2d 368, 384 (S.D.N.Y. 2010)). On the other hand, the Court must balance these interests against the harm to the Government from restricting its proof at trial. See United States v. Rajaratnam, No. 09-cr-1184 (RJH), 2010 WL 2788168, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Jul. 13, 2010).
In her previous motions, Maxwell argued that the Mann Act counts in the indictment should be dismissed for lack of specificity or that, in the alternative, the Court should compel the Government to submit a bill of particulars providing greater detail of the charges. Maxwell
11
DOJ-OGR-00020820

Case 22-1426, Document 57, 02/28/2023, 3475900, Page203 of 208
A-199
contended specifically that the indictment is too vague because it refers to open-ended time periods for the Mann Act counts. The Court disagreed in light of Circuit precedent requiring only that an indictment describe the time and place of the charged conduct in "approximate terms" and permitting the use of "on or about" language to describe the window of when a violation occurred. Maxwell, 2021 WL 1518675, at *10 (citing Tramunti, 513 F.2d at 1113; United States v. Nersesian, 824 F.2d 1294, 1323 (2d Cir. 1987)). The Court explained that approximate time periods are particularly appropriate if the allegations involved ongoing conduct and especially if the indictment alleges sexual abuse against minor victims. Id. (citing United States v. Young, No. 08-cr-285 (KMK), 2008 WL 4178190, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 4, 2008)).
Maxwell now again moves for a bill of particulars. Maxwell primarily argues that the S2 indictment does not provide specific dates for the conduct alleged with respect to the sex trafficking counts. Instead, the S2 indictment provides a four-year time period from 2001 to 2004 in which the alleged sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy occurred. Maxwell's motion in this respect is denied for the same reasons stated in the Court's April 16, 2021 Opinion & Order. The indictment alleges ongoing conduct that involve the sexual abuse of minors with respect to counts five and six and therefore the approximate time period provided is sufficient. Accordingly, the motion for a bill of particulars is denied.1
VII. The current disclosure schedule for impeachment material is adequate
Finally, Maxwell moves to compel the immediate disclosure of any of Minor Victim's prior statements in which she did not mention Maxwell, including prior statements made to the
1 Additionally, Maxwell includes in her motion for a bill of particulars a request to require the government to identify the unnamed co-conspirators who allegedly participated in the conspiracies charged in the S2 indictment. Maxwell also made this request in the parties' joint May 21, 2021 letter to the Court regarding the disclosure schedule. Dkt. No. 291. In both her motion and the May 21, 2021 letter, Maxwell requests that this information be disclosed to the defense at the same time that the Government discloses Jencks Act material. The Government has not opposed this request. In the absence

A-200
FBI. The Court has ordered the Government to disclose all Jencks Act and Giglio material by October 11, 2021. Dkt. No. 297 at 1. That date is seven weeks in advance of trial. The Court sees no reason to depart from the rule in this district that impeachment material of anticipated witnesses does not warrant an order compelling immediate disclosure. See United States v. Campo Flores, No. 15 Cr. 765 (PAC), 2016 WL 5946472, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 12, 2016). Seven weeks in advance of trial is far more time than is standard in this district and no showing has been made that it will be insufficient for Maxwell to make effective use of the information in preparation of her defense.
To the extent Maxwell argues that the Government is in possession of prior statements that are exculpatory under Brady (for example, if a witness denied Maxwell's involvement), rather than useful only for standard impeachment purposes, it is of course the Government's obligation to "disclose such information to the defense promptly after its existence becomes known to the Government so that the defense may make effective use of the information in the preparation of its case." Dkt. 68 at 1. The context of questions and answers surely matters as to whether a statement (or omission) is exculpatory, impeaching, or neither. It is for the Government to make these assessments ex ante and fully meet its disclosure obligations so that the defense may make effective use of any such information in preparation for trial. See United States v. Coppa, 267 F.3d 132, 144-46 (2d Cir. 2001). The Government has repeatedly confirmed that it understands those obligations, and that it has met them and will continue to meet them. Accordingly, the motion to compel the immediate disclosure of any of Minor Victim-4's prior statements in which she did not mention Maxwell is denied.
of objection, the Court presumes the Government intends to disclose this information to Maxwell at the same time that as it discloses Jencks Act material.

1 travel across state lines with the intent that she would engage
2 in sexual activity for which a person could be charged with a
3 crime under the penal law of New York State, namely, New York
4 Penal Law Section 130.55. I instruct you as a matter of law
5 that sexual abuse in the third degree -- the offense set forth
6 in Count Two of the indictment -- was a violation of New York
7 State Penal Law from in or about 1994, up to and including in or
8 about 1997, at the time the acts are alleged to have been
9 committed.
10 A person violates New York State Penal Law Section
11 130.55, sexual abuse in the third degree, when he or she
12 subjects another person to sexual contact without the latter's
13 consent. Under New York law, "sexual contact" means any
14 touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person for
15 the purpose of gratifying the sexual desire of either party.
16 It includes the touching of the victim by the actor, whether
17 directly or through clothing; as well as the emission of
18 ejaculate by the actor upon any part of the victim, clothed or
19 unclothed.
20 Also under New York law, lack of consent can result
21 from incapacity to consent. A person less than 17 years old is
22 deemed incapable of consenting to sexual contact under New York
23 law. Thus, the law deems sexual contact with a person less
24 than 17 years old to be without that person's consent even if,
25 in fact, that person did consent. However, in order to find

1 that the intended acts were nonconsensual solely because of the

5 Instruction No. 18. Count Four. Transportation of an
6 individual under the age of 17 to engage in illegal sexual
7 activity. The statute.
8 The relevant statute for Count Four is Title 18, United States
9 Code, Section 2423(a), which provides that a person who "knowingly
10 transports any individual under the age of 17 years in interstate
11 commerce, with the intent that such individual engage in any
12 sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a
13 criminal offense" is guilty of a federal crime.

15 Instruction No. 19. Count Four. Transportation of an
16 individual under the age of 17 to engage in illegal sexual
17 activity. The elements.

19 government must establish each of the following three elements of
20 the crime beyond a reasonable doubt:
21 First, that the defendant knowingly transported an individual in
22 interstate commerce as alleged in the indictment.

25 which any person can be charged with a criminal offense under New

And third, that the defendant knew that the individual was less than 17 years old at the time of the acts alleged in Count Four of the indictment. Count Four also relates solely to Jane during the time period 1994 to 1997.
Instruction No. 20. Count Four. Transportation of an individual under the age of 17 to engage in illegal sexual activity. First element.
The first element of Count Four which the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt is that Ms. Maxwell knowingly transported Jane in interstate commerce as alleged in the indictment. The phrase "to transport an individual in interstate commerce" means to move or carry or cause someone to be moved or carried from one state to another.
The government does not have to prove that Ms. Maxwell personally transported Jane across a state line; it is sufficient to satisfy the element that Ms. Maxwell was actively engaged, either personally or through an agent, in the making of the travel arrangements such as by purchasing tickets necessary for Jane to travel as planned. Ms. Maxwell must have knowingly transported or caused the transportation of Jane in interstate commerce. That means that the government must prove that Ms. Maxwell knew both that she was causing Jane to be transported and that Jane was being transported in interstate commerce. As I've explained, an act is done knowingly when it's done voluntarily and intentionally and not because of
