A legal filing from the Law Offices of Bobbi C. Sternheim arguing for a continuance of Ghislaine Maxwell's trial. The defense cites the difficulties of preparing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to investigate new charges and 'quarter-century-old allegations,' and the review of voluminous discovery produced in November 2020. The document criticizes the government's timeline estimates and their opposition to the delay.

This document is page 6 of a court transcript from Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB (the federal case against Jeffrey Epstein), filed on August 6, 2019. The transcript records a discussion between the Judge ('The Court') and defense attorney Mr. Weinberg regarding the scheduling of the trial. They agree to target September 2020 for the trial date, as Mr. Weinberg argues that 13 months is necessary to prepare for a case of this 'magnitude and scope.'
