This legal document, filed by the Government, responds to a request from defense counsel for expedited delivery of legal mail to a defendant held at the MDC. The Government argues against the request, citing the burden on the MDC's legal department, and details a timeline of events where a hard drive delivery was delayed by one day due to an 'institutional emergency' at the facility on October 13, 2021.

A letter dated October 14, 2021, from defense attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan requesting a court order to compel the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) to deliver legal mail to Ghislaine Maxwell within 24 hours of receipt. Sternheim details specific incidents of delay, including a hard drive withheld for two days and legal mail deposited on October 2 that was not discovered until October 7. The letter also alleges potential evidence tampering, noting a 'questionable bar code sticker' found on legal mail that the MDC Unit Manager eventually returned to counsel.
