According to the government's own expert: \"The Manhattan and the Southern District communities are significantly more African American and Hispanic than the White Plains community. Thus, [] the White Plains master jury wheel . . . will not be representative of the Manhattan or the Southern District community with respect to the percent African American and Hispanic.\" Opp. Ex. 12 (Report of Bernard R. Siskin) ¶ 11.\n\nMoreover, the government concedes that Black and Hispanic jurors constitute \"distinctive\" groups for purposes of the three-part analysis prescribed in Duren v. Missouri, 439 U.S. 357, 364 (1979), and that Ms. Maxwell has thus satisfied the first of the three Duren prongs necessary to establish a prima facie violation of her Sixth Amendment right to a grand jury drawn from a fair cross-section of the community. Opp. 205. And the government does not assert that attainment of a fair cross-section would have been incompatible with a significant state interest, as is necessary to overcome a prima facie showing of a violation. Duren, 439 U.S. at 368.\n\n1 The government takes issue with Ms. Maxwell's use of the terms \"Manhattan Division\" and \"White Plains Division\" in her opening brief, on the ground that the Southern District is not divided into \"divisions\" by statute. Although the Second Circuit has used the term \"division\" in a similar context, see, e.g., United States v. Jackman, 46 F.3d 1240, 1241 (2d Cir. 1995) (referring to \"Hartford Division\"), Ms. Maxwell will use the terms \"Manhattan Counties\" and \"White Plains Counties\" here.\n\nDOJ-OGR-00003767",
