MARSH law firm plic 31 Hudson Yards, Pl. II Ncw York, New York 10001 October 6, 2021 Via email — Honorable Alison J. Nathan United States District Court 500 Pearl Street New York, New York 10007 Re: Request Regarding Victim Attendance at the Upcoming Trial in USA v. Maxwell, No. 1:20 Cr. -00330-AJN Dear Judge Nathan: We represent one of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged lieutenant Ghislaine Maxwell, who is the defendant in the above- referenced case. vas one of the Epstein victims who spoke to deliver a victim impact statement in front of Judge Berman on August 29, 2019, when Judge Berman dismissed the Epstein indictment due to Epstein's apparent suicide. would like to attend the upcoming trial of Ms. Maxwell scheduled for November 29, 2021. She will be coming from where she lives. Title 18 USC section 3771(a)(1) (the Crime Victim's Rights Act) gives victims, among other things, "The right not to be excluded from any public court proceeding, unless the Court, after receiving clear and convincing evidence, determines that testimony of the victim would be materially altered if the victim heard other testimony at that proceeding." The exception does not apply because not going to be witness at the trial. is not asking the government to pay for any travel expenses, but wou i e o given priority (along with other victims of course) in getting EFTA00085796 into the trial as a spectator. Given the keen public interest in the case, she is afraid that without priority she will not be able to get into the courtroom. Very truly yours, Robert Y Lewis Robert Y. Lewis EFTA00085797
