This document is an internal email chain within the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (USANYS) from December 2020. It discusses a legal issue raised by Judge Engelmayer in the case of *United States v. Rivera*, where the judge criticized the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for providing significantly better access to counsel and electronic discovery to Ghislaine Maxwell (at MDC) compared to Justin Rivera (at MCC). The emails detail the drafting of a declaration to explain that Maxwell's privileges (such as 13 hours/day of laptop access) are due to her unique protective custody status and the massive volume of discovery in her case, whereas Rivera is in the general population with shared resources.
This document is an internal email chain within the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding a legal issue raised by Judge Engelmayer in the case *United States v. Rivera*. The Judge criticized the disparity between the extensive discovery and counsel access provided to Ghislaine Maxwell at MDC Brooklyn (91 hours/week laptop access) versus the limited access provided to Justin Rivera at MCC New York (21 hours/week). The emails discuss drafting a declaration to explain that these differences are due to Maxwell's unique protective custody status and facility capabilities, rather than preferential treatment based on class or race.
