Case 22-1426, Document 3-2, 07/08/2022, 3344434, Page38 of 92 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 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) 05/03/2021 JOINT LETTER by Ghislaine Maxwell addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan from Jeffrey S. Pagliuca dated May 3, 2021 re: defense witness disclosures, Dkt. No. 250 (Pagliuca, Jeffrey) (Entered: 05/03/2021) 05/04/2021 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.
