This legal document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to the Clerk of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The letter cites the precedent set in United States v. Watkins to argue that the Bail Reform Act permits a court to conduct a fact-based, "conduct-specific inquiry" for felonies involving a minor victim, rather than being limited to the legal elements of the charge. This submission is intended to provide supplemental authority to the court concerning the upcoming argument in Maxwell's case.
