Strictly Private and Confidential Hon. Alison J. Nathan Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse 40 Foley Square New York, NY 10007 By Email ONLY Dear Judge Nathan, Date 21.t April 2021 Our Ref Your Ref: STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL We represent a n Ghislaine Maxwell. We are writing to you ahead of Maxwell's upcoming criminal trial to request that all variations of our client's name be redacted from court papers. We have copied both the Prosecutor and Defence lawyer into this email. We are mindful of the Order of District Judge Alison J. Nathan dated April 19th 2021 requiring any requests for redaction of documents by today — April 210 2021. This letter/email is such a request. In the Previcins (nee EM) and Ghislaine Maxwell, our client was not initially made aware by the court or any of the representatives of the parties of the availability to make an application for her name to be redacted at all. As such her name was released and was published widely in the British press and online. s such, as a matter of law in the United Kingdom she has a lifelong entitlement to anonymity. See: Section 1 of the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act ("SO(A)A") 1992. Having been unaware of (1) the intended release of court documents containing information which named our client, and (2) her right to apply for redaction, our client's name was not redacted in the first releases of court papers. She was distraught at the subsequent naming of her in multiple intrusive and upsetting articles being published in the British media and online. Having then become aware of the right to seek redaction she instructed this firm to represent her and we made such application to Judge Loretta Preska which was granted. We signed a Non-Party Notice and Order and were able to obtain the relevant documents to have our client's name redacted. use the term 'panner todescribe a Senior Solicitor, Emifiaree or CcosultaM wnh relevant expwience, expends and qualifica
