Summary

This document is page 9 of a court order filed on September 14, 2020, granting a stay in a civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The court rules that proceeding with civil discovery would prejudice Maxwell due to her concurrent criminal prosecution (raising Fifth Amendment issues) and the restrictive detention conditions at the MDC during the COVID-19 pandemic, which hinder her ability to consult with counsel.
