Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)¶
Dear Judge Nathan:¶
On behalf of our client, Ghislaine Maxwell, we respectfully submit this letter in response to the Court’s order from earlier today regarding the scheduling of the arraignment, initial appearance, and bail hearing in this matter. Pursuant to the Court’s order, we have attempted to contact our client at the Metropolitan Detention Center, but we have been unable to speak to her at this point. We will continue trying to contact her to discuss the topics raised in the Court’s order.¶
We anticipate that our client will be amenable to proceeding remotely, subject to us having the opportunity to speak to her. As directed by the Court, we have met and conferred with the Government regarding scheduling. Assuming our client agrees to proceed remotely, all parties will be able to proceed remotely on the morning of July 14, 2020. The defense will not be able to proceed on July 9, 2020.¶

Respectfully submitted,¶
