This legal document is a court ruling denying a defendant's release from the MDC, a detention facility experiencing a significant COVID-19 outbreak. The Court acknowledges the health risks but ultimately finds that the defendant poses a substantial flight risk and has no underlying health conditions that would justify release. The Court also determines that a new hearing is unnecessary, as the reasons from a prior hearing on July 14, 2020, still apply.

This document appears to be page 15 (internal numbering) of a legal brief filed on April 1, 2021, in Case 21-770 (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell appeal). The text presents legal arguments against pre-trial detention, citing precedents such as *United States v. Stephens* and *United States v. Weigand* to argue that the COVID-19 pandemic creates obstacles to defense preparation that justify release. It specifically references a case where a 'wealthy defendant' deemed a flight risk was released due to the pandemic.

This legal document is a court order or memorandum explaining the decision to deny a defendant's release from detention. The Court acknowledges the alarming spread of COVID-19 at the MDC facility where the defendant is housed but concludes that this does not outweigh the finding that the defendant is a substantial flight risk. The Court also notes the defendant has no underlying health conditions and determines that a new hearing is unnecessary, resolving the matter based on the submitted legal briefs.
