Maxwell release planned

status of App. No. 24A709 (Maxwell v. United States):

Application filed: On January 15, 2025, Ghislaine Maxwell filed an amended application under Rule 13.5 seeking a 45-day extension—moving the deadline to file a petition for certiorari from February 24 to April 10, 2025 (Supreme Court).

Grant of extension: On January 21, 2025, Justice Sotomayor granted the extension, setting the deadline at April 10, 2025 (Supreme Court).

📌 What this means for Maxwell

✅ New deadline: Maxwell now has until April 10, 2025 to file her petition for a writ of certiorari.

📋 Grounds of her request: The application notes:

Second Circuit’s decision deepened a circuit split concerning plea agreement bindingness (Supreme Court).

Maxwell’s counsel—David Oscar Markus—was retained only on January 14, 2025 and requested more time due to other deadlines and the complexity of preparing the petition (Supreme Court).
