The government has chosen to make this an issue - when it never was - to justify the restriction placed on the amount of legal materials Ms. Maxwell can bring into the VTC room on any given day. The government mischaracterizes facts to which it does not have first-hand knowledge. Ms. Maxwell continues to use the cart daily to bring legal material into the VTC room and to remove those documents at the end of the VTC session. Most of her legal papers are kept in a separate room. She is only allowed to bring a certain portion of documents to any given VTC session and is not allowed to leave the VTC room to collect additional documents that may be needed for review and discussion with counsel. The amount of legal material Ms. Maxwell can access depends upon rules that fluctuate with each team rotated into the MDC every two weeks to guard her. This limitation impacts the productivity of VTC and in-person legal conferences and compromises Ms. Maxwell's ability to prepare for trial. Very truly yours, /s/ BOBBI C. STERNHEIM cc: All counsel EFTA00040845
