38. The only question even arguably before this Court at this juncture is whether Judge Nathan committed clear error when detaining Maxwell as a flight risk or abused her discretion when denying Maxwell temporary release. Nothing in the renewed motion undermines Judge Nathan’s conclusion that Maxwell poses a real risk of flight. Nor does the renewed motion explain how Judge Nathan’s careful consideration of the MDC’s nighttime security protocols and continued monitoring of Maxwell’s ability to access her discovery and communicate with counsel transforms the denial of pretrial release into an abuse of discretion. Simply put, the renewed motion fails to present any “compelling” reason for this Court to reverse its prior decision in this case. Plugh, 648 F.3d at 123.
