CASE NO. ST-2020-CV-00155
Complex Litigation Division
Action for Indemnification

ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the undersigned following a review of the file.
The parties appeared before the Judge for a status conference on March 9, 2022.
According to the record of the clerk, the Judge directed the parties to submit briefs on
or before August 1, 2022, on whether Virgin Islands public policy barred one or more
of Plaintiff Ghislaine Maxwell’s claims. The undersigned, having attended the hearing,
recalls that Plaintiff’s counsel had also requested a longer period of time to file the
briefs in light of the then-pending criminal case in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York. No date was given for another status conference,
however.
In furtherance of the undersigned’s duty to oversee the management of the
complex litigation cases, and to hold case management and scheduling conferences in
complex litigation cases, see generally In re. Auth. for the Creation & Appointment of
Staff Master for Complex Lit. Div. of Super. Ct. of the V.I., Admin Order No. 2021–0012

hereby ORDERED that this matter is scheduled for a remote Status Conference on
