The Court reserves judgment on whether Juror 50’s motion should be redacted in light of
the principles and conclusion discussed above or on another basis. The parties may propose any
narrowly tailored redactions to Juror 50’s motion that are consistent with this Order via email on
or before February 16, 2022. The parties also submitted letters to the Court via email on
January 13, 2022, that addressed sealing of Juror 50’s motion. Any redactions to those letters
must be proposed by that same date. As noted above, the Court will rule on any proposed
redactions so the filings can be docketed, and the Court will file under seal unredacted copies of
any documents for which it approves redactions.
SO ORDERED.

Defendant.
ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge:
The Court’s chambers received the attached letter via email from counsel for the National
Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) seeking leave to file an amicus brief
regarding the Defendant’s motion for a new trial. The Court issues this Order in response.
If any party wishes to file an amicus brief concerning the Defendant’s motion for a new
trial, it may submit to the Court via email a motion for leave to do so on or before February 18,
2022. The Court will only consider such a motion if:
1) Itis timely submitted by February 18, 2022;
2) Itis submitted by counsel admitted to practice in the Southern District of New
York;
3) It indicates whether the Government and the Defendant each either consents to or
opposes the motion; and
4) States the interest of the potential amicus and why the additional memorandum of
law would aid this Court’s evaluation of the Defendant’s new trial motion.
If the motion for leave to file meets those requirements, the Court will docket the motion and
rule on it. Any motion that does not meet those requirements will not be considered by the Court
nor docketed. If any motion for leave to file an amicus brief is granted, the party will be

permitted to file an amicus brief not exceeding 10 double-spaced pages. Any authorized amicus
brief must be emailed to the Court for docketing within one week of the Court’s granting of the
motion for leave to file.
The Court provides one note of caution regarding timing. As of Wednesday, February 9,
2022, the Defendant’s motion for a new trial became fully briefed. Although the timing of the
Court’s ruling on the motion cannot be predicted at this time, the Court will rule as expeditiously
as possible. The Court will not delay issuing a ruling if ready to do so simply because an
authorized amicus brief is forthcoming.
If NACDL still seeks leave to file an amicus brief, it may submit a renewed motion
consistent with this Order.
SO ORDERED.

We write on behalf of our client, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL),
regarding the above-referenced action pending before you. We respectfully request leave from the Court
to file a brief amicus curiae on the issue of the impact of the post-trial revelations and admissions from
Juror # 50 on whether the Defendant in this case received the guaranteed right to a fair trial and what relief
is required. Specifically, NACDL would address the increased importance of written or oral voir dire in
