Box 1628 Santa Fe, NM 87504-1628 VIA U.S. MAIL & FACSIMILE TO (505) 827-3399 RE: Your letter of July 23, 2010 to Jeffrey E. Epstein Re: SORNA Dear Ms. Chacon: Thank you for speaking with me again today, July 30, 2010, regarding your letter to Jeffrey Epstein dated July 23, 2010. Since my client and I are concerned that he acts in a way that is consistent with both state and federal SORNA requirements, I am setting out my understanding of our conversation. The July 23, 2010 letter is a form letter sent out to every offender, and the local Sheriff's Office, about whom New Mexico receives notice from another state, regardless of the qualifying offense(s). The letter does not reflect a determination by your office that Mr. Epstein actually qualifies under NM law as an offender who is required to report. I understand that you will ask your assistant Theresa Hernandez to look into the materials attached to my fax, gather any additional materials needed, and make your own determination whether Mr. Epstein has a New Mexico state SORNA reporting obligation. I will await your determination of that issue. As you know, Mr Epstein has only recently been released from service of his sentence and has not visited NM since his conviction in Florida. I understand there is no requirement, under any circumstances, to make a special trip to New Mexico to register, even if the out-of-state offender is required to register under New Mexico law. Registration with the Santa Fe Sherriff within ten days of his next visit to the state is sufficient for all purposes. I also now understand that after his first registration, a follow- up annual registration appearance must be made before December 31 of each calendar year (beginning December 31, 2011), if Jeffrey visits in that calendar year. 500 4TH STREET N.W. SUITE 400 • ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO 87102 SANTA FE • ALBUQUERQUE • TAOS • PHOENIX EFTA00730001 Thank you for clarifying those issues for me. I stand ready to send you any additional material that might help you make your determination whether Mr. Epstein is an offender who is required to register under New Mexico law. Thank you for your accessibility and willingness to answer my questions. If I have misinterpreted our conversation in any way, please let me know immediately.
