NATHAN, District Judge: On December 8, 2020, Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell filed a renewed motion for release on bail. Dkt No. 97. In an Opinion and Order concurrently filed under temporary seal, the Court DENIES the Defendant's motion. In light of the fact that the Opinion includes potentially confidential information that should not be filed on the public docket, the Court will permit the parties 48 hours to propose any redactions to the Court's Opinion and Order and to justify those redactions by reference to the Second Circuit's decision in Lugosch v.

After determining which, if any, portions of the Opinion and Order should be redacted, the Court will file the Opinion and Order on the public docket. This Order provides the bottom line of the Court's resolution.
