Type: Legal filing - plaintiff's response to status hearing
File Size: 2.54 MB
Summary

In this May 2023 filing to the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, a pro se incarcerated Ghislaine Maxwell requests a 180-day stay in her civil suit for indemnification against the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell argues she needs time to find new counsel following her previous attorney's withdrawal, citing severe communication restrictions and lack of access to legal resources (computers, state case law) within FCI Tallahassee. She also argues the civil case should be paused pending the outcome of her criminal appeal (2nd Circuit Case 22-14626-CR) and cites a 2002 lawsuit (Shanks v. Wexner) as evidence that Epstein historically indemnified her for legal costs.
