Summary
This document is a page from a court order rejecting Ghislaine Maxwell's argument that Jeffrey Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) protects her from prosecution in the Southern District of New York. Citing the Second Circuit precedent *United States v. Annabi*, the court maintains that plea agreements generally only bind the specific district where they are entered. The court dismisses Maxwell's renewed motion and supplemental authority, affirming that the SDNY is not bound by the agreement made in another district.
