The court orders David Markus to comply with Local Criminal Rule 23.1 following his op-ed on the merits of the Ghislaine Maxwell case. Markus, associated with the defense, argued he is not subject to the rule as he does not currently represent Maxwell in any proceedings. The court clarifies that Rule 23.1 applies to lawyers associated with pending criminal litigation, regardless of formal appearance. Markus is ordered to comply with the rule to avoid prejudicing the trial.
