With respect to eye coverings, Judge Nathan noted that the prohibition on eye masks “is a generally applicable policy,” but Maxwell is nevertheless permitted to “use other non-contraband items to cover her eyes” at night. (/d. at 2). Judge Nathan concluded that “nothing in the record plausibly establishes that current protocols interfere with Maxwell’s ability to prepare for her trial and communicate with her lawyers.” (/d.).

The instant motion, which Maxwell styles as a DOJ-OGR-00001452
