ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the Government's letter regarding the deadline for the disclosure of the Presentence Investigation Report. Dkt. No. 655. 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)

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). The parties are ORDERED to file the redacted briefs (with the above noted line unredacted) on the docket on or before March 11, 2022. The Court will file the unredacted briefs under seal.

Order with OCR 610 Filed: 2/24/2022, Entered: 2/24/2022 OrderCourt Filing
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). (Status Conference set for 3/8/2022 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 906, 40 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007 before Judge Alison J. Nathan) (Signed by Judge Alison J.

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. As noted in its prior Order, following the Court's resolution of the Defendant's motion or a hearing, all redactions will be promptly unsealed except those necessary to protect any continuing interest in juror anonymity and privacy. See United States v. Amodeo, 44 F.3d 141, 146-47 (2d Cir. 1995); see also Press-Enter. Co., 478 U.S. at 14. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 2/24/2022) (ap)

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 Governments 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. 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 2/11/22)(jw)

ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: As a post-trial house-keeping matter, attached to this Order are the Court Exhibits. 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)

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)

ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. As a post-trial housekeeping matter, Court staff directed the parties via email to complete the process of providing copies of Court Exhibits with narrowly tailored redactions (e.g., redactions to protect the anonymity of jurors and of witnesses the Court permitted to testify under pseudonyms) for the Court to 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)

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.

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 and determines the appropriate next steps.

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.

ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the parties' letters. Dkt. Nos. 568, 569, 570. The Court hereby sets the following briefing schedule for the Defense to move for a new trial in light of the issues raised in the parties' letters: Defense motion: January 19, 2022; Government response: February 2, 2022; Defense reply: February 9, 2022. The parties' briefing should address whether an inquiry of some kind is permitted and/or required, and, if so, the nature of such an inquiry.

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.

Memorandum and Opinion with OCR 548 Filed: 12/15/2021, Entered: 12/16/2021 Memorandum and OpinionCourt Filing
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 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"). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 12/15/2021)(bw)

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. See Trial Tr. at 858. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 12/9/21)(jw)

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 Government is ORDERED to submit a proposed order regarding sketch artist depictions of certain witnesses on or before November 18, 2021.

As is expressly required by Federal Rule of Evidence 412, the Court must conduct a hearing on this motion in camera and seal the record of the hearing. Fed. R. Evid. 412(c)(2). Accordingly, this portion of the hearing will be sealed and in camera. The Government confirmed that the attorneys for the alleged victims implicated by the Defendants motion have been notified of their right to attend the hearing pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 412. Dkt. No. 430. For the public portions of the proceeding, the Court will ensure access for alleged victims and any members of the Defendant's family, in accordance with its prior Order. Dkt. No. 344.

In order to comply with the District's COVID-19 protocols, the public and additional members of the media will be able to access the proceeding in overflow Courtrooms 506 and 905 of the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse.

Order with OCR 427 Filed: 11/9/2021, Entered: 11/9/2021 OrderCourt Filing
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.

ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the Defendant's motion for reconsideration regarding release on bond, Dkt. No. 408, and the parties' letters regarding the delivery of the Defendant's legal mail and transport to the courthouse for pretrial conferences and trial in this case, Dkt. Nos. 381, 403, 422. For the reasons stated in this Court's prior bail determinations, Dkt. Nos. 93, 106, 169, and the Government's letter in opposition, Dkt. No. 423, the renewed request for bail is denied. Moreover, based on the representations from MDC legal counsel regarding the delivery of the Defendant's legal mail, Dkt. No. 422, the Court concludes that the Defendant has adequate access to legal counsel and legal mail in order to prepare for trial. MDC legal counsel and the Government are ordered to take the steps outlined in the Dkt. No. 422 between now and the completion of trial. As to the Defendant's transport, the Court concludes that she will be transported to and from the courthouse for pretrial conferences and trial in a way that is humane, proper, and consistent with security protocols. 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 able to prepare for and participate in trial. This resolves Dkt. No. 408. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 11/9/2021) (lnl)

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. First, as the Court previously indicated, the lawyers will be provided the names of jurors on November 16, prior to the commencement of the voir dire process. 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.

ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. 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 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.

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 parties request that the hearings be held on November 5, 9, or 10. SO ORDERED.
