Judge Paul Engelmayer found Maxwell’s claims, including references to recently disclosed documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, to be largely irrelevant to her charges and either already dismissed during direct appeal or unavailable for appeal.[2]

Impact on Maxwell’s Legal Position

The decision confirms that Maxwell’s conviction remains in force, with the court emphasizing that the evidence against her was overwhelming and that the additional material either reinforced her culpability or was unrelated to the offenses she faced.[1][2]
