ORDER¶
ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge:¶
On December 4, 2020, the Court received a letter from MDC legal counsel responding to the concerns that the Defendant raised in her November 24, 2020 letter. See Dkt. Nos. 75, 88; see also Dkt. No. 78. The Defendant responded to the MDC legal counsel’s letter on December 7, 2020, reiterating her request that the Court summon Warden Heriberto Tellez to personally respond to questions from the Court regarding the Defendant’s conditions of confinement. See Dkt. No. 91. Having carefully reviewed the parties’ submissions, along with the MDC legal counsel’s December 4, 2020 letter, the Court DENIES the Defendant’s request to summon the Warden to personally appear and respond to questions. This resolves Dkt. No. 75.¶
Notwithstanding this, as originally provided in Dkt. No. 49, the Government shall continue to submit written status updates detailing any material changes to the conditions of Ms. Maxwell’s confinement, with particular emphasis on her access to legal materials, including legal mail and email, and her ability to communicate with defense counsel. The updates shall also include information on the frequency of searches of the Defendant.¶
The Court hereby ORDERS the Government to submit these written updates every 60 days. Furthermore, the Government shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the Defendant¶
