Nathan + United States District Court + Southern District of New York + 40 Foley Square + New York, NY 10007 * **Re:** Deadline for Filing Motion under Federal Rule of Evidence 412, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN) * **Dear Judge Nathan,** I write to confirm that November 15, 2021 is the deadline for Ms. Maxwell to file a motion under Federal Rule of Evidence 412, which governs the admissibility of evidence of an alleged victim's sexual behavior. * **Under this Court's pretrial scheduling order, motions in limine are due on October 18. A motion in limine is a "pretrial request that certain inadmissible evidence not be referred to or offered at trial." Black's Law Dictionary (11th ed. 2019). * **A motion under Rule 412 is not a motion in limine. Rather, it is a motion seeking permission to admit evidence the Rules of Evidence might otherwise exclude. It is a substantive motion under a specific rule of evidence with specific procedures for its filing, consideration, and determination. Fed. R. Evid. 412(c). And the Rule itself sets a deadline for filing a motion under its terms—14 days before trial. Fed. R. Evid. 412(c)(1)(B) (providing that a defendant must file her motion "at least 14 days before trial unless the court, for good cause, sets a different time"). * **Sincerely,** + Jeffrey Pagliuca **Footer** * **DOJ-OGR-00011265**
