NEW:
A federal judge REJECTS Ghislaine Maxwell's latest bid to delay the unsealing process based on unspecified "critical new information."
"As Ms. Maxwell knows, her ipse dixit does not provide compelling grounds for relief," Judge Preska wrote, using the Latin for her say-so.

Context:
The last time Judge Preska unsealed files in the case, she let anonymous Does have an opportunity to oppose disclosure of a set of files.

This is separate from the ongoing appeal before the Second Circuit over the two depositions in the case, including one that prosecutors believe shows Ghislaine Maxwell perjuring herself.

For those keeping score, this is not the first time that Preska chided Maxwell's legal team for relying on "ipse dixit" arguments in the unsealing case.
