This legal document, dated August 24, 2020, is a filing on behalf of Ms. Maxwell to Judge Alison J. Nathan. It argues for the continued sealing of certain court documents, with redactions, to protect Ms. Maxwell's right to a fair trial from pretrial publicity.

[REDACTED]
Moreover, the government has made repeated, highly public statements, including at the press conference following Ms. Maxwell’s indictment,² in the press conference following Mr. Epstein’s indictment,³ in a press conference convened at the doorstep of Mr. Epstein’s former New York mansion,⁴ and in other publicly-released statements⁵ that its investigation into associates of Mr. Epstein is ongoing and active.
[REDACTED]
The process to evaluate whether a judicial document should remain under seal is clear. Once a determination is made that the materials are judicial documents the Court is required to determine whether any countervailing interests outweigh the presumptive right to public access. Brown v. Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41, 49-50 (2d Cir. 2019).
Frankly, Ms. Maxwell does not believe that the government has established a countervailing interest compelling enough to justify continued sealing of the documents. [REDACTED]. It is also likely that these same documents will be the subject of future motion practice in this Court, [REDACTED].
However, Ms. Maxwell has no interest in additional pretrial publicity related to any of these documents and submits that protecting her right to a fair trial is the countervailing interest that, at this point, requires her proposed redactions and the continued sealing of the materials with the exception of her limited request to file the materials under seal [REDACTED].
