U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Southern District ofNew York The Silvio!. Mollo Building One Saint Andrew's Plaza New York, New York 10007 October 18, 2021 BY ECF The Honorable Alison J. Nathan United States District Court Southern District of New York United States Courthouse 40 Foley Square New York, New York 10007 Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (MN) Dear Judge Nathan: The Government respectfully submits its motions in limine, which the Government is submitting to the Court under seal by email with proposed redactions. The Government's proposed redactions are consistent with the three-part test articulated by the Second Circuit in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110 (2d Cir. 2006). Although the Government's motions in limine are judicial documents subject to the common law presumption of access, the proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to protect the privacy interests of victims—including victims who have not identified themselves on the record in this case and who have not publicly identified themselves as victims referenced in the Indictment in this case—and third parties referenced in the document. In addition, the Government seeks redaction of Section X at least until the conclusion of trial. Additional justification for this sealing request is located in footnote 11 on page 49 of the Government's motions in limine.

Respectfully submitted, DAMIAN WILLIAMS United States Attorney By: s/ Assistant United States Attorneys Southern District of New York Cc: Defense counsel (By ECF) EFTA00105947
