Summary
This document is a legal brief filed by the United States Solicitor General in July 2025 opposing Ghislaine Maxwell's petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. The government argues that the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) signed by Jeffrey Epstein in Florida does not bar the Southern District of New York from prosecuting Maxwell, as the agreement was contractually limited to the Florida district and Maxwell was not a party to it. The brief details the history of the Epstein investigation, the terms of the NPA, and relevant legal precedents regarding the scope of plea agreements binding different US Attorney's Offices.
