Summary
This document is a page from a legal filing dated April 12, 2021, arguing against Ghislaine Maxwell's request for temporary release. It asserts that Judge Nathan did not abuse discretion in denying release because Maxwell has ample resources, including 'highly qualified' counsel and extensive access to computers (13 hours/day) to review discovery at the MDC. Footnotes clarify legal precedents and note that in-person attorney visitation at the MDC resumed in February 2021.

Cir. 2000).
