Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 763 Filed 08/10/22 Page 170 of 197 2711 LCHVMAX6 1 abandoned living in East 69th in or about January of 1996. 2 Then he leased it to Mr. Fisher, who was a codefendant in the 3 case. And then the U.S. Government sought to evict Mr. Fisher. 4 So both Mr. Epstein and Mr. Fisher were the defendants in the 5 action. 6 There were, on behalf of Mr. Epstein, two answers 7 filed in the case, answer to cross-claims. These are docket 8 entry numbers 15 and 45 from that action. In the first 9 paragraph of those two answers, Mr. Epstein admitted that in or 10 about January 1996, he vacated the premises, the premises being 1] Fast 69th Street. And then subsequent to that, other events 12 happened. 13 In an opinion in docket entry 46, Judge Chin issued an 14 opinion, and he made a finding of fact that Epstein and his 15 family continued to reside at the premises, East 69th, until 16 January of 1996, at which time Epstein abandoned. So that is 17 an opinion and two answers that we seek to admit under Federal 18 Rule of Evidence 201, judicial notice. 19 Under the terms of that, your Honor, it is, I believe, 20 a fact that can be judicially noticed. 201(f) describes what 21 instructions are given to the jury in the event that it is 22 criminally noticed; and in a criminal case, the jury is to be 23 instructed that it may or may not accept the noticed fact as 24 conclusive. I'm not intending or offering the full documents 25 that I just cited to your Honor, but the fact of Mr. Epstein's SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00016899
