This is a court order filed on May 14, 2021, by Judge Alison J. Nathan in the case of USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The document addresses complaints from Maxwell's defense counsel regarding sleep deprivation caused by guards shining flashlights into her cell every 15 minutes. The Government responded that these checks are routine safety measures, though Maxwell receives more frequent checks due to being housed alone and the nature of her charges.

This document is a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice to Judge Alison Nathan opposing Ghislaine Maxwell's requests for early disclosure of witness names and court intervention in her confinement conditions. The Government argues the requests are premature given the trial is 11 months away and discovery has just begun, noting they have already produced over 165,000 pages of evidence. The letter also defends the Bureau of Prisons' protocols for Maxwell, stating her monitoring is appropriate for a high-profile inmate facing significant prison time and confirming she has been granted extensive daily access to review discovery materials.

This document is a Memorandum Opinion and Order by Judge Alison J. Nathan dated August 25, 2020, in the case of USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The Judge denied Maxwell's requests to immediately disclose the identities of three alleged victims and to order the Bureau of Prisons to release her into the general population, deeming the former premature and the latter unnecessary given current accommodations. However, the Court ordered the Government to provide written status updates every 90 days regarding Maxwell's access to legal materials and ability to communicate with counsel.
