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)Gbo) (Entered: 05/03/2021) 05/03/2021 i) oN eS) 05/03/2021 i) on Nn 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 recetving 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 https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/DktRpt.pl?211087015221896-L_1_0-1 40/113 DOJ-OGR- 00020662
