This document is a letter from attorney Christian R. Everdell to Judge Alison J. Nathan, dated January 14, 2021, requesting a court order to allow Ghislaine Maxwell access to a government-provided laptop on weekends and holidays to review discovery materials. The letter notes that the current prison computer lacks necessary software, the volume of discovery is massive ahead of the July 12, 2021 trial, and the government does not object to this request. It also highlights that Maxwell previously had daily access during a quarantine period in late 2020.

"We write on behalf of our client, Ghislaine Maxwell, to respectfully request that the Court order the Bureau of Prisons to give Ms. Maxwell access to the laptop computer provided by the government so that she can review discovery on weekends and holidays."Source
"If Ms. Maxwell is to have any hope of reviewing the millions of documents produced in discovery so that she can properly prepare her defense by the July 12, 2021 trial date, she must have access to the laptop every day, including weekends and holidays."Source
"Defense counsel has raised this issue with the government and it has no objection to Ms. Maxwell having access to the laptop seven days a week."Source
"There is no principled justification for this restriction."Source
