This document appears to be page 15 (internal numbering) of a legal brief filed on April 1, 2021, in Case 21-770 (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell appeal). The text presents legal arguments against pre-trial detention, citing precedents such as *United States v. Stephens* and *United States v. Weigand* to argue that the COVID-19 pandemic creates obstacles to defense preparation that justify release. It specifically references a case where a 'wealthy defendant' deemed a flight risk was released due to the pandemic.
