Summary
This document is a Court Order from Judge Alison J. Nathan dated May 14, 2021, denying Ghislaine Maxwell's request to modify the frequency of flashlight safety checks during the night at the Metropolitan Detention Center. The defense argued the checks occurred every 15 minutes and disrupted sleep, while the Government maintained the checks were necessary for safety due to Maxwell being housed alone and the high-profile nature of the case. The Court ruled the request unsubstantiated but urged the MDC to consider ways to reduce sleep disruption for pre-trial detainees.
