This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Judge Alison J. Nathan in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, dated April 5, 2021. The Government requests that the Court order the defendant to provide notice of all Rule 17(c) subpoenas (specifically referencing one to Boies Schiller Flexner LLP) and to share any materials obtained with the Government. The letter argues against ex parte subpoenas for discovery purposes, citing the need to protect victim privacy (specifically mentioning a request for a victim's diary) and prevent 'fishing expeditions.'
