Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 2601 Filed 02/23/21 Page 4 of 9 1. The Proposed Additional Bail Conditions Will Reasonably Assure Ms. Maxwell's Appearance in Court As set forth above, Ms. Maxwell now proposes two additional restrictions that eliminate any means or opportunity that she may have to leave the country. The Court should therefore reconsider its earlier ruling and grant bail under the proposed conditions. See United States v. Rowe, No. 02 CR. 756 LM, 2003 WL 21196846, at *1 (S.D.N.Y.

If the Court deems it a necessary condition of release, Ms. Maxwell will formally commence the procedure to renounce her foreign citizenship. The requisite paperwork is in the process of being completed. Renunciation of UK citizenship can be accomplished immediately upon granting of bail. The process of renouncing her French citizenship, while not immediate, may be expedited. Citizenship is a precious and priceless asset.
