Hi Jim,

I'm writing a story off of yesterday's Maxwell hearing before the 2nd Circuit. Sorry for late notice, this just came together.

| I'm told that the "Court 2" that denied SDNY access to the case file was Judge Koetl on th |                 |  |  |

| Can you offer any insight into what differentiates theMcase<br>from the<br>case?           |                 |  |  |
| I'm told Maxwell was deposed in thMcase.<br>And I note tha                                 | are defendants. |  |  |
| Is it fair to say that Koetl's ruling was a fortunate break for Maxwell,                   |                 |  |  |
| Thanks,                                                                                    |                 |  |  |
