This document is a letter dated February 1, 2021, from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. Sternheim argues against the Metropolitan Detention Center's (MDC) objection to allowing Maxwell laptop access on weekends and holidays to review millions of pages of discovery documents. The letter asserts that the MDC's proposed alternative, a prison computer, is inadequate for the task and that the MDC has failed to provide a valid security or staffing reason for restricting laptop access, thereby impeding Maxwell's ability to prepare her defense.
