A court order from Judge Alison J. Nathan in the case of USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell, dated July 30, 2021. The order grants the Government's motion to require defense lawyer David Markus to comply with Local Criminal Rule 23.1 regarding extrajudicial statements, following an op-ed he published about the case. The judge ruled that although Markus had not formally appeared in the specific trial proceedings, his role as appellate counsel and public association with the defense made him subject to the rule.
