This document is a letter motion dated November 18, 2021, from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Judge Alison J. Nathan in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The Government requests a ruling that the birth certificates of Minor Victims 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 be deemed self-authenticating under Federal Rules of Evidence 902 and 902(4), thereby avoiding the need to call records custodians from various states (RI, MO, NY, CA, MA) to testify at trial. The defense had refused to stipulate to the authenticity of these records despite having no reason to doubt them.
