The Government is mistaken. Riley's appearance before the grand jury was originally scheduled for July 10. 2007. By the agreement of the parties. that appearance was rescheduled for July 17, 2007. The day before that scheduled appearance, i.e.. July 16. 2007. counsel for Jeffrey Epstein, who seeks to intervene in this matter, was informed by Deputy Chief that Riley did not have to appear physically before the grand jury if a motion to quash the subpoena at issue was filed by Epstein before the end of the day on July 17. 2007. As the Government's Response states. Epstein's motion to quash was filed on July 17, 2007 before the close of business. See Gov't Resp. at 1. Riley was informed of these matters by Roy Black, Esquire. and did not appear in reliance on the Government's agreement with Roy Black. I Undersigned counsel has been out of the country and just recently returned. Accordingly, this Reply has been prepared within days of his return.

Prior to the initiation of this federal investigation, I represented Mr. Epstein on a Palm Beach Florida State Attorney's Office investigation and subsequently an Information, the factual basis of which is identical to, and gave rise to, the federal investigation presently underway. In connection with my earlier representation of Mr. Epstein, I hired Mr. William Riley as a private investigator to act under my direction in anticipation of defending Mr. Epstein against possible criminal charges and any litigation which may have followed. All his investigations were done as my agent and thus are covered by the work product privilege, and all communications to him are protected by the attorney client privilege. Though we are not conceding the existence of any computers that would be responsive to the subpoena served upon Mr. Riley, to the extent there are any such computers, they would contain documents that are privileged attorney-client communications and attorney work-product. Your subpoena also asks for materials describing the scope of his investigation and thus they are our work product. 2O1 S. Biscayne Boulevard.

July 13, 2007 Page 2 As you know, the United States Attorney's Office Manual, Guidelines for Issuing Grand Jury and Thal Subpoenas to Attorneys for Information Relating to the Representation of Clients, requires that the attorney client and work-product privilieged information sought by the Grand Jury subpoena issued to Mr. Riley must first be authorized by the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division before it may issue. Therefore, please advise me as to whether the applicable sections of the United States Attorney's Office Manual was complied with prior to the issuance of the Grand Jury subpoena to Mr. Riley. Please also advise as to the preliminary steps taken in advance of the issuance of the subpoena, as required by the Manual. Finally, please provide me with the name of the Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division who undertook the evaluation of the request for the Grand Jury subpoena, as required by the same section of the Manual and, if an evaluation was made, the basis upon which the Assistant determined that the information sought in the subpoena was not protected by a valid claim of privilege.

All documents and information related to the nature of the relationship between Mr. William Riley and/or Riley Kiraly and Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, including, but not limited to, retainer agreements; employment agreements; billing statements (whether submitted directly to Mr. Epstein or to a third party for reimbursement); records of the dates when services were performed and the hours worked; telephone logs or records of dates of communications with Mr. Epstein (or with a third party on Mr. Epstein's behalf); appointment calendars/datebooks and the like (whether in hard copy or electronic form) for any period when work was performed on behalf of Mr. Epstein or when any communication was had with Mr. Epstein (or with a third party on Mr. Epstein's behalf); and records of fee arrangements and payments received for work performed on Mr. Epstein's behalf. The baies for the requested relief are as follows: A. the compelled production of these items, assuming they exist, would violate Mr. Epstein's rights under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution; B. such production of these items, assuming they exist, would further violate Mr. Epstein's Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel as well as his attorney-client and work-product privileges; 2 Black, Srebnick.

R. Crim. Proc. 17(c); and D. the subpoenas call for purely private papers in violation of the Fifth Amendment under Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616 (1886). As further reason therefore, Mr. Epstein refers the Court to the Memorandum of Law incorporated herein. 3 Black, Srcbnick. Kornspan & Slum 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131. Phone: • lax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00178992 MEMORANDUM OF LAW In or about March 2005, the Palm Beach Police Department initiated a criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein to determine whether he committed any criminal acts in connection with allegations that he paid women to provide massages to him in his home. According to information obtained by the local police, one or more of the women so engaged was under the age of 18 at the relevant time. Affidavit of Roy Black, Esq., sworn to July 17,. 2007, annexed ("Black Aft") 73. Following a 16 month investigation, on July 17, 2006, Mr. Epstein was charged under Florida law with one count of soliciting a prostitute, a third degree felony. That charge is still pending. Black Aff. 75. In the fall of 2005, prior to being charged with any wrongdoing, Mr. Epstein retained Roy Black, Esq., to represent him in connection with the then ongoing state investigation. Black Aff. ¶3. Mr. Black in turn hired William Riley of Riley Kiraly, a private investigation firm, to assist him in his representation of Mr. Epstein. Black Aff. 74. During the course of the state investigation, law enforcement authorities concluded that at some time, one or more computers had been removed from Mr. Epstein's home by a private investigator working at the instruction of Mr. 4 Black. Srehnick. Kornspan & Slum f 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131 • Phone: • Fax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00178993 Epstein's counsel. It is those computers;' the testimony of the private investigator; and documents relating to the retention and to the work-product of the investigator that are sought by the subpoenas. Both prior to the charge being brought and thereafter defense counsel were provided with open disclosure of the state's evidence. Black Aff. 16. As a result, all or virtually all of the evidence obtained by the state in its investigation has been reviewed by the defense. Id. Included in the materials reviewed are the audio and/or video taped sworn statements of 18 witnesses, transcripts of all 18 of those recorded sworn statements, the transcript of one additional sworn statement, and over 125 pages of documents prepared by the Palm Beach Police Department which detail every sworn statement obtained by detectives, every interview conducted by detectives, all their investigative efforts, and all the evidence gathered. Id. These documents include the entire police file, as well as the probable cause affidavits prepared by Palm Beach detectives and the application for a search warrant of Mr. Epstein's home. Id. Reviewing these materials has afforded the defense with a thorough understanding of the factual bases for any allegations that have been, or could have been, made against Mr. Epstein. Black Aff. ¶7. We do not concede the existence of any such computers. However, for purposes of this motion, we refer herein to "computers" as if one or more computers described in the subpoenas do exist. 5 Black. Srebnick. Komspan S& ni 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami, Florida 33131 • Phone: • Fax • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00178994 In approximately January 2007, a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida initiated what was termed a "parallel" investigation to determine whether the conduct in which Mr. Epstein had allegedly engaged violated federal laws, including violations of 18 U.S.C. §2423 (travel for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual activity); and 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), use of the Internet or other means of interstate communication to persuade, entice or coerce another to engage in unlawful sexual activity. Black Aff. 11. We understood the conduct being scrutinized by the federal grand jury was the same as the subject of the state prosecution. Black Aff. $8. Indeed, during the course of the federal investigation, prosecutors asked for and were provided with copies of the 18 recorded sworn witness statements, and further asked for copies of the transcripts of those sworn statements. Id. That the two investigations examine the same alleged conduct is also clear from Palm Beach Police Chief Michael S. Reiter's letter expressing the Department's displeasure with the actions of the state grand jury and State Attorney's Office, and explaining he was referring the matter to federal authorities in order to initiate a federal investigation of the facts.

These subpoenas were not issued in a vacuum. They are simply the most recent of a series of highly intrusive and unusual attempts to acquire highly personal and/or privileged information concerning Mr. Epstein that can have no relevance whatever to the investigation, including Mr. Epstein's personal tax returns, medical records including treatment notes of Mr. Epstein's treatment by a chiropractor, and now, invasion of the defense camp by seeking records of the investigative work performed by Mr. Riley on behalf of Mr. Epstein's counsel in the very same investigation. 7 Black.

While the propriety of those other subpoenas is not at issue here, the subpoenas to Mr. Riley and to his firm are. When it was pointed out to prosecutors that internal Department of Justice rules require, inter-O11a, that issuance of the subpoenas be predicated on the pre-approval of the Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division under the United States Attorneys' Manual ("USAM"), §9- 11.255, the question as to whether such approval had been obtained was simply ducked in an unilluminating exchange of correspondence. Though such guidelines create no third party rights, the fact that the required approval evidently was not obtained highlights the continuing overreaching of this investigation. Moreover, quite apart from whether the required steps were taken internally to obtain approval before issuing the subpoenas, as a substantive matter, the government could not meet the internal guidelines necessary for issuing a subpoena seeking information relating to the representation of a client set forth in 8 Black.

Moreover, it is simply beyond dispute that no court would uphold a subpoena that purports to require a person to produce every letter, every doeument, 'every bill, every record, every book, every photograph, every page from a magazine or newspaper he ever snipped, and every message he ever wrote, in other words, every piece of paper that is or has ever been in his home, without limitation or particularization. Yet, that is in effect what these subpoenas seek. For this reason alone, the subpoenas are per se unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and Fed.R.Crim.P. Rule 17(c), and should be quashed in their entirety. Indeed, the fact that there are so many ways in which the subpoenas violate Mr. Epstein's fundamental rights may well be underscored by the fact that the government has failed to comply wither procedurally or substantively with the 10 Black.

As detailed below, all four requirements are amply met here. First, the application is timely, as it is being filed prior to enforcement of the subpoenas. Second, Mr. Epstein plainly has a significant interest in protecting his attorney-client and work-product privileges, in asserting his Fifth Amendment privilege, and in preventing unwarranted government rummaging through the contents of his computers. Third, litigation concerning the enforcdability of the subpoenas without Mr. Epstein's participation in the proceedings would leave him powerless to protect these vital interests. Fourth, these interests are personal to him and cannot be represented adequately by either the government or Mr. Riley. 12 Black, Srebnick. Kornspan & Slum f 201S. Biscayne Boulevard.

EPSTEIN'S ACT-OF-PRODUCTION PRIVILEGE PRECLUDES THE GOVERNMENT FROM COMPELLING MR. RILEY TO PRODUCE THE ITEMS AT ISSUE. Compelled production of the items demanded by the subpoenas would violate Mr. Epstein's right, guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment, not to be compelled to be a witness against himself. Because of the clear testimonial aspects that compliance with the subpoenas would require, the "act-of-production" privilege precludes the government from demanding that Mr. Riley appear and produce these items. The Fifth Amendment "protects a person from being compelled to be a witness against himself'. Fisher v.- United States, 425 U.S. at 398. The privilege extends beyond oral testimony to embrace all compelled testimonial communications that are potentially incriminating. It specifically includes the act of producing documents where such production itself "communicates" information. See Fisher, 425 U.S. at _408. As the Supreme Court put it: "[a]lthough the contents of a document may not be privileged, the act of producing the document may be" because "[a] government subpoena compels the holder of the document to perform an act that may have testimonial aspects and an 13 Black.

Doe, 465 U.S. 605, 612 (1984); see also Fisher, 425 U.S. at 410 ("the act of producing evidence in response to a subpoena . . . has communicative aspects of its own, wholly aside from the contents of the papers produced"). This is so because • [c]ompliance with the subpoena tacitly concedes the existence of the papers demanded and their possession or control by the [subpoenaed party]. It would also indicate the [subpoenaed party's] belief that the papers are those described in the subpoena. Doe, 465 U.S. at 612, quoting Fisher, 425 U.S. at 410:see also United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 40 (2000) (compelled testimony "is not to be found in the documents produced in response tip the subpoena" but is instead "the testimony inherent in the act of producing those documents"); In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 87 F.3d 1198, 1200 (11th Cir. 1996) ("[t]he production of documents conveys the fact that the documents exist, that they were in the possession of the witness, and that they were the documents subject to the subpoena. . . . Where these communicative acts of production have `testimonial' value and incriminate the witness, the Fifth Amendment privilege may be invoked"); accord United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355-56 (11th Cir. 1991) (by producing the documents called for under the subpoena, the defendant "would be establishing the existence and authenticity of the documents listed in the summons, as well as verifying that these documents 14 Black.

Gecas, 50 F.3d 1549, 1566 (11th Cir. 1995); In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum, 754 F.2d 918, 921 (11th Cir. 1985) ("the act of production alone can constitute self-incriminating testimony); In re Grand Jury 83-8, 611 F. Supp. 16, 21 (S.D. Fla. 1985) ("the act of producing evidence in response to a subpoena . . . does have testimonial aspects of its own, wholly apart from the contents of the papers produced"); In re Keller Financial Services of Florida, Inc.; 258 B.R. 391, 403 (M.D. Fla. 2000); Federal Savings & Loan Ins. Corp. v. Hardee, 686 F. Supp 885, 887 (N.D. Fla. 1988). Had the subpoenas been served directly on Mr. Epstein and demanded that he produce the items which had at some point allegedly been in his Palm Beach home or had ever belonged to him, Mr. Epstein would unquestionably be entitled to the protection of the act-of-production privilege. That is so because, as noted above, production thereof would inherently admit that the materials exist and that they had been in his home and/or belonged to him, which would, in turn, at a minimum, implicitly authenticate the contents of the materials. See, e.g., United States v. Stewart, 2003 WL 23024461 at *3 (S.D.N.Y. December 29, 2003) (act of production privileged where government's claimed relevance for requiring the defendant to produce the subpoenaed documents "depends on the fact that the 15 Black. Srcbnick.

Bell, 217 F.R.D. 335 (M.D. Pa. 2003) (where government lacks knowledge of specific documents, party's production of the subpoenaed documents would testify to their existence and his possession of them). Even if the government is correct in its belief that the items listed in Ts 1 and 2 of the subpoenas are presently in the possession of Mr. Riley and/or his firm, Mr. Riley's possession of the items would not lessen Mr. Epstein's right to the protection of the act-of-production privilege. Mr. Riley is an investigator retained to assist counsel in representing Mr. Epstein in the very matter under investigation by the federal grand jury that issued the subpoenas. As such, Mr. Riley stands in the same relationship to Mr. Epstein as counsel himself. See, e.g., Linde Thomson Langworthy Kohn & Van Dyke, P.C. v. Resolutions Trust Corp.r5 F.3d 1508, 1514 (D.C.Cir.1993); In re Bieter Co., 16 F.3d 929, 936-38 (8th Cir. 1994); Westinghouse Elec. Corp. v. Republic of Philippines, 951 F.2d 1414, 1424 (3d Cir. 1991); United States v. Cote, 456 F.2d 142, 144 (8th Cir. 1972); Uni Judson, 322 F.2d 460, 462 (9th Cir. 1963); United States v. Kovel, 2 922 (2d Cir. 1961); Burlington Indus. v. Rossville Yarn, Inc., No. CI 0401-H, 1997 AWL 404319, at 3 (N.D. Ga. June 3, 1997); see also Uni 16 Black. Srebnick. Komspan 201 S.

In short, the investigator in turn stands in the shoes of his client. See Fisher, 425 U.S. at 404. Since production of the subpoenaed items by Mr. Epstein's legal team would, therefore, be the equivalent of production by Mr. Epstein, and the testimonial communication inherent in that production is the same as if it were Mr. Epstein himself appearing before the grand jury, the full protection of the act-of- production privilege applies here, and the subpoenas must be quashed in their entirety. III. THE SUBPOENAS VIOLATE MR. EPSTEIN'S RIGHT TO COUNSEL UNDER THE SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL AS WELL AS THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT AND WORK-PRODUCT PRIVILEGES. As drafted, in addition to his Fourth Amendment rights, the subpoenas violate the work-product doctrine, as well as Mr. Epstein's Fifth Amendment right to due process and his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. In Hickman v. Taylor, 329 U.S. 495, 510-11 (1947), the Supreme Court recognized the modern work- product doctrine, holding that: [lin performing his various duties, however, it is essential that a lawyer work with a certain degree of privacy, free from unnecessary intrusion by opposing parties and their counsel. Proper preparation of a client's case demands that he assemble information, sift what he considers to be the relevant from the irrelevant facts, prepare his legal 17 Black. Srebnick.

The work-product doctrine grants attorneys "a zone of privacy within which to prepare the client's case and plan strategy, without undue interference". In re San Juan Dupont Plaza Hotel Fire Litig., 859 F.2d 1007, 1014 (1S1 Cir. 1988). It applies in criminal as well as in civil cases. United States v. Nobles, 422 U.S. 225, 236-38 (1975) ("Although the work-product doctrine most frequently is asserted as a bar to discovery in civil litigation, its role in assuring the proper functioning of the criminal justice system is even more vital"). Equally important, the Supreme Court made it clear in Nobles that the work- product doctrine necessarily extends to work perforined by an investigator for a defendant's attorney: At its core, the work-product doctrine shelters the mental processes of the attorney, providing a privileged area within which he can analyze and prepare his client's case. But the doctrine is an intensely practical one, grounded in the realities of litigation in our adversary system. One of those realities is that attorneys often must rely on the assistance of investigators and other agents in the compilation of materials in preparation for trial. It is therefore necessary that the doctrine protect material prepared by agents for the attorney as well as those prepared by the attorney himself. 422 U.S. at 238-39; see also See Cox v. Administrator U.S. Steel & Carnegie, 17 F.3d 1386, 1422 (11i6 Cir.), modified on other grounds, 30 F.3d 1347 (11th Cir. 18 Black Srebnick, Komspan &St ro n 20I S. Biscayne Boulevard.

Clearly, the subpoenas served in this case improperly infringe upon the work-product doctrine. The subpoenas seek production of retainer agreements, employment agreements, records of dates when services were performed and the hours worked, telephone logs or records of dates of communications with Mr. Epstein, appointment calendars and diaries during any period in which work was performed for Mr. Epstein or any communication was had with Mr. Epstein (or with a third party on Mr. Epstein's behalf), and records of fee arrangements and payments received for work performed on Mr. Epstein's behalf. See Black Aff. Exhibit "A". These records, which contain evidence of work performed on behalf of Mr. Epstein and his attorneys, must be protected from disclosure by the work- prodiict doctrine. The government cannot invade the defense camp through the mechanism of a subpoena any more than it can by the surreptitious planting of an informant. See, e.g:, United States v. Henry, 447 U.S. 264, 266 (1980) (rule in Massiah v. United States, 377 US. 201 (1964), violated when law enforcement agent instructed jailhouse informant "to be alert" for any incriminating statements). Nor can it do 19 Black. Srebnick.

Horn, 811 F.Supp.739 (D.N.H. 1992).3 In Horn, government counsel instructed an agent to make two copies of every document selected by defense counsel to be copied from amongst the materials made available for inspection by the government during the discovery process, and then used the documents to prepare a government witness, even after defense counsel objected to the copying and while a motion to seal the materials was pending. Horn, 811 F.Supp. at 748-749. Concluding that "there is every indication that the lead prosecutor wanted to . . . obtain an insight into defense counsel's trial strategy, tactics, and thought processes without any concern for the rights of the defendants," Horn, 811 F.Supp. at 749, the court found that the government had violated defendants' work-product privilege, as well as their Fifth Amendment right to due process and their Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of-counsel. 811 F.Supp. at 752; see also United States v. Horn, 29 F.3d 754, 758 (14 Cir. 1994) (in government's appeal of one of the district court's remedies — ordering the government to pay defense legal fees to litigate the issue — the Court noted that the district court "ruled that this prosecutorial misconduct 3 As the court in Horn noted, several courts have held that defense counsel's selection and compilation of documents in preparation for pretrial discovery fall within the highly-protected category of opinion work product.

The subpoenas-at .issue here are akin to the conduct condemned in Horn. Here, through the issuance of a subpoena, the government seeks to track the investigation being conducted at the direction and under the supervision of his attorneys in an effort to obtain insight into defense counsel's strategy, tactics, and thought processes, without any concern for the rights of Mr. Epstein. Permitting the government to do lo would violate the work-product privilege, Mr. Epstein's Fifth Amendment right to due process and his Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel .4 Indeed, many of the ways in which the subpoenas at issue trample on Mr. Epstein's rights are the very problems sought to be avoided by the internal State proceedings were commenced against Mr. Epstein on July 17, 2006.

As demonstrated above, a subpoena to a defense investigator under these circumstances is the same as a subpoena to defense counsel. And USAM Guideline §9-11.255 requires prior Department of Justice approval for the issuance of a subpoena to a lawyer. That requirement evidently was not met. See Black Aff. 115. Second, "because of the potential effects upon an attorney-client relationship that may result from the issuance of a subpoena for information relating to the attorney's representation of a client", the DOJ imposes strict requirements on such issuance. Among the requirements that must be met is that "there must be reasonable grounds to believe that . . . the information sought is reasonably needed for the successful completion of the investigation or prosecution. The subpoena must not be used to obtain peripheral or speculative information". USAM §9-13.410.

THE SUBPOENAS ARE UNREASONABLE IN THAT IT SEEKS PRODUCTION OF THINGS UNCONNECTED TO ANY CRIME UNDER INVESTIGATION. This Court has authority to review a grand jury subpoena for reasonableness. See, e.g., United States v. R. Enterprises, Inc., 498 U.S. 292, 300-01 (1991). While the Supreme Court has held that grand jury subpoenas are presumed reasonable, that presumption may be overcome and a subpoena quashed where, as here, "there is no reasonable possibility that the category of materials the [gjovernment seeks will produce information relevant to the, general subject of the grand jury's investigation". R. Enterprises, Inc., 498 U.S. at 301. Normally, as the Supreme Court noted in R. Enterprises, Inc., recipients of a grand jury subpoena have little or no knowledge of the crime the grand jury is investigating and will therefore be unable to challenge the issuance of the subpoena on reasonableness grounds. Id. at 301-02. Here, that is not the case. Mr. Epstein is aware not only of the subject matter, but the exact charges the grand jury is investigating. See Black Aff. 111. From that, it is clear that the evidence the government is attempting to obtain is wholly irrelevant to the grand jury's investigation. See Id. IV 2, 13. The requirement that a grand jury subpoena be reasonable and particularized is beyond dispute. Not only is that explicitly stated in the Fourth Amendment, but 23 Black. Srebnick. Komspan nnI 201 S.

Co. v. Walling, 327 U.S. 186, 208-09 (1946) (holding ,that subpoenas although not searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, must be reasonable). Subpoenas, such as the ones here, which are overbroad and lack particularity such that they sweep within their scope a multitiate -of irrelevant documents is quintessentially unreasonable, whether assessed under the Fourth Amendment, the Due Process Clause, or Rule 17(c). Grand juries "are not licensed to engage in arbitrary fishing expeditions". R. Enterprises, Inc., 498 U.S. at 299. Yet that is precisely what enforcement of these subpoenas would permit — unbridled rununaging.by the government through an individual's "papers and effects" — namely, the contents of computers with no restriction or aim other than to "find something" of which the government has no evidence whatever exists.

Such a subpoena is unreasonable and overbroad in violation of the Fourth Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and Rule 17(c). • Similarly, the materials listed in 13 are fundamentally irrelevant to the government's investigation of Mr. Epstein, which is focused on allegations of sexual activity with underage girls. Neither Mr. Epstein's communications with his retained investigator, Mr. Riley (or his firm), nor any services Riley and his firm may have performed on behalf of Mr. Epstein, has any possible bearing on the government's investigation. Moreover, as demonstrated in Point III, supra, enforcement of the subpoenas as to 13 poses a grave threat 16 Mr. Epstein's Sixth ••• Amendment right to counsel and to his attorney-client and work-product . privileges. For instance, certain of the materials requested in 13, such as the Requests for "information related to the nature of the relationship between Mr. William Riley and/or Riley Kiraly and Mr. Jeffrey Epstein" (Black Aff. Exhibit "A"), on 25 Black. Srebnick. Komspan s8 Siinn 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131.

Since there is no issue as to Mr. Epstein's wealth or the source of the funds used to pay for the services, that irrelevance also extends to the requested documents showing the fees Mr. Epstein may have paid to Riley Kiraly for its services, as well. V. EVEN IF THE GOVERNMENT IS PERMITTED TO SEIZE THE COMPUTERS ON THE BASIS OF A GRAND JURY SUBPOENA, THE SUBPOENAS MUST BE QUASHED AS UNREASONABLE AND OPPRESSIVE, OVERBROAD AND UNPARTICULARIZED. Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the subpoenas suggest no limitation on the ability of the govemmel ters. Instead, the government purports to be session every bit of data stored therein, with 'me frame. Quite clearly, the subpoenas are "go fishing" in the computers. In fact, the gc r a belief that any information contained within the computers would be relevant to its investigation. See Black Aff. $12. Thus, Request $'s 1 and 2 cannot, consistent with the requirements of the Fourth Amendment and the protections against unreasonable subpoenas afforded by Rule 17(c), be enforced. Instead, the intervention of the Court is required to 26 Black. Srebnick, KomspanS 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131 • Phone: • Fax • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179015 prevent the government from using a grand jury subpoena to conduct an unfettered general search of the contents of the computers. See United States v. Comprehensive Drug Testing, Inc., 473 F.3d 915, 938-39 (91" Cir. 2006) ("[i]t is not reasonable to allow the government to seize an indeterminately bounded array of computer data only later to set its own standards for review and retention thereof"). Further, where that which the government seeks is not the computers themselves but rather the content of the computers, it is that content which must be particularly described in the subpoena to comply with the reasonableness requirement. See In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum Dated November 15, 1993, 846 F.2d 11, 13 (S.D.N.Y. 1994). The subpoenas at issue fail utterly to do so. Rather,- they are overbroad and unparticularized, and as such, cannot pass muster under either the Fourth Amendment or Rule 17(c). The "reasonableness" requirement is understood to contemplate' a requirement that the subpoena identify with particularity the documents to be produced. Fisher, 425 U.S. at 401 (Fourth Amendment protects against subpoenas which suffer from "too much indefiniteness or breadth in the things required to be particularly described"); Oklahoma Press, 327 U.S. at 209 ("the requirement is reasonableness, including particularity in describing the place to be searched and 77 Black.

Here, though the subpoenas describe with particularity "the computers", the subpoenas are wholly silent as to the real target — the contents of the computers. As courts have recognized in the context of search warrants authorizing searches of computers, the particularity requirement cannot be deemed satisfied absent specification of the documents or other materials which are the object of the search/subpoena. Courts are increasingly recognizing that careful attention to the Fourth Amendment's particularity requirement and overbreadth prohibition are critical in the context of computer searches. See, e.g., United States v. Adjani, 452 F.3d 1140, 1149 (9th Cir. 2006) ("[wje understand the heightened specificity concerns in the computer context, given the vast amounts of data they can store'); In re Search of 3817 W. West End, 321 F.Supp.2d at 958-59 (marshalling the reasons why "a request for the search and seizure of computers merits a close look at the particularity requirement"); see also U.S. Dep't of Justice, Searching and Seizing Computers and Obtaining Electronic Evidence in Criminal Investigations (July 2002) ("DOJ Computer Search Manual") ("[a]gents must take special care when describing the computer files or hardware to be seized"). Courts have held that "when the government seeks to seize the information stored on a computer, as opposed to the computer itself, that underlying 28 Black. Srcbnick. Komspan & Stum f 201 S.

Riccardi, 405 F.3d 852, 862 (10th Cir. 2005) ("warrants for computer searches must affirmatively limit the search to evidence of specific federal crimes or specific types of material"); United States v. Barbuto, 2001 WL 670930 at *5 (D.Utah April 12, 2001) (agents "should have known that the warrant needed to specify what types of files were. sought in the searching of the two computers so that personal files would not be searched); see also DOJ Computer Search Manual at 42 (instructing that "[i]f the probable cause relates only to the information . . . the' warrant should describe the information, rather than the physical storage devices which happen to contain it"). Thus, "[t]o withstand an overbreadth challenge, the search warrant itself, or materials incorporated by reference must have specified -the purpose for which the computers were seized and delineated the limits of their subsequent search". United States v. Hunter, 13 F.Supp.2d 574, 584 (D.Vt. 1998) Given these principles, the Requests contained in ¶'s 1 and 2 of the subpoenas are clearly unreasonable, since they purport to allow the government to search the entire contents of the computers with no requirement of showing reasonableness or relevance to the matters under investigation.

"[R]esponsible officials, including judicial officers, must take care to assure that [searches] are conducted in a manner that minimizes unwarranted intrusions upon privacy". West End, 321 F.Supp.2d at 960, quoting Andresen v. Maryland, 427 U.S. 463, 482 n.I I (1976). Most recently, in Warshak v. United States, 2007 WL 1730094 (6th Cir. June 18, 2007), the Sixth Circuit, in the context of upholding a Fourth Amendment challenge to the provisions of the Stored Communications Act which authorize the government to obtain an individual's emails from his Internet Service Provider pursuant to court order or subpoena on a showing of less than probable cause and without advance notice to the subscriber, expressly addressed the particularity requirement where subpoenas as well as searches of computers are concerned: Because our opinion speaks to the appropriate remedy in this case, we note one other important principle that applies both to e-mail seizures pursuant to a warrant supported by probable cause, and to compelled disclosure through a process akin to that involved with subpoenas.

Similarly, the court in In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum Dated November 15, 1993, supra, 846 F.24 11, was called upon to review a grand jury subpoena that sought all computer hard drives of computers supplied to a number of officers and employees or a corporate entity, as well as all computer-accessible data, including all floppy disks, created by or on behalf of the specified officers or employees. The Court held that, because there were ways in which the government could have narrowed the subpoena to relevant documents, such as documents containing certain key words, the subpoena at issue unnecessarily demanded documents irrelevant to the grand jury inquiry and was, therefore, unreasonably broad under Rule 17. Likewise, in In re Amato, 2005 WL 1429743 at *11-*12 (D. Me. June 17, 2005), the Court, relying on a number of cases dealing with searches of computers pursuant to warrants, granted a motion to quash with respect to the paragraph of the subpoena requesting the production of all computers and computer related equipment: "Inasmuch as Category 10 of the Subpoenas in essence requests the turnover of all computers (and related objects) of both corporations with no express safeguard• against a subsequent rummaging through, 32 Black Srebnick Kornspan & Slum 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300. Miami. Florida 33131 • Phone: Fax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179021 and seizure of, irrelevant as well as relevant data, it cannot withstand Fourth Amendment reasonableness scrutiny". Courts are now recognizing that the seizure of a computer for later off-site search of its contents requires fresh thinking, and cannot simply be permitted by reference to the law that permits seizure of a file cabinet or other container of physical documents. See, e.g., United States v. Hill, 459 F.3d 966, 968 (9th Cir. 2006) ("computer-related. searches can raise difficult Fourth Amendment issues different from those encountered when searching paper files"); United States v. Walser, 275 F.3d 981, 986 (10th Cir. 2001) ("[b]ecause computers can hold so much information touching on many different areas of a person's life, there is a greater potential for the "intermingling" of documents and a consequent invasion of privacy when police execute a search for evidence on a computer"); United States v. Campos, 221 F.3d 1143, 1148 (10th Cir. 2000) (storage capacity of computers may require law enforcement officers to take a special approach because of intermingled documents); West End, 321 F.Supp.2d at 959 ("[t]he capacity of the computer to store these large quantities of information increases the risk that many of the intermingled documents will have nothing to do with the alleged criminal activity that creates probable cause for the seizure"); Hunter, 13 F.Supp.2d at 583 ("[c]omputer searches present the same problem as document 33 Black. Srebnick. Kornspan & St Sn 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131. Phone: Fat lackcom EFTA00179022 searches — the intermingling of relevant and irrelevant material — but to a heightened degree"). Recently, the Ninth Circuit expressly applied the principles of in United States v. Tamura, 694 F.2d 591 (9th Cir. 1982), a leading case on the Fourth Amendment issues presented by intermingled documents in the traditional paper document search context? in the computer context, noting that because "the computer era adds new complexity, to the test of reasonableness under the Fourth Amendment", it viewed Tamura "as especially important in the computer context". United States v. Comprehensive Drug Testing, Inc., 473 F.3d 915, 939 (9t1 Cir. 2006). The review procedure outlined in Tantura was, the Court concluded, "necessary to ensure that the seizure of intermingled computer records remains reasonable". Id. at 938. Therefore, . . .in the case of a lawful and reasonable seizure of intermingled computer records for off-site review . . .our precedents and the general reasonableness mandate of the Fourth Amendment require the supervision of a magistrate. It is not reasonable to allow the government to seize an 5 In Tamura, the Court suggested that where documents are so intermingled that they cannot be feasibly sorted on site, agents "generally can avoid violating Fourth Amendment rights by sealing and holding the documents pending approval by a magistrate of a further search, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the American Law Institute's Model Code of Pre-Arraignment Procedure". 694 F.2d at 595-96. In fact, the Court continued, if the officers are aware prior to the search that there will be a need to transport documents to another location for search, they should apply to the magistrate for specific approval of large-scale removal of material, which should be granted by the magistrate "only where on- site sorting is infeasible and no other practical alternative exists". Id. at 596. The "essential safeguard" required, the Court stated, is "that wholesale removal must be monitored by the judgment of a neutral, detached magistrate". Id (emphasis added) 34 Black. Srebnick, Komspan S& nni 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 1300 • Miami. Honda 33131 • Phone: • Fat • www.RoyEllackcom EFTA00179023 indeterminately bounded array of computer data only later to set its own standards for review and retention thereof Id. (emphasis added). There is no question that Mr. Epstein has an important expectation of privacy in the contents of the subpoenaed materials. Amongst other safeguards, the Fourth Amendment protects Mr. Epstein's privacy absent probable cause that any particularized file or document contains evidence of a federal crime. The issuance of a subpoena does not eliminate the necessity of probable.cause when the objects of the compulsion are documents in which a citizen has an expectation of ••••, privacy. In cases where the objects of a subpoena are business records, such as bank records in which a citizen has no expectation of privacy (see, e.g., United States v. Miller, 425 U.S. 435 (1976)), or telephone toll records (Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735, 740 n. 5 (1979)), a subpoena is sufficient. In cases, however, where an expectation of privacy exists, a subpoena lacking probable cause does not accord with Fourth Amendment rights. See, generally, Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967). For these reasons, to the extent the subpoenas purport to permit the grand jury not only to seize, but to search the computers, they are unreasonable. Before the government may be permitted to search the computers, it must particularize the 35 Black. Srebnick. Komspan&Shn 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33B1 • Phone: Fare • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179024 items to be seized after a demonstration of probable cause to believe that the computers contain such items. VI. THE COURT MUST ENSURE THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT PERMITTED ACCESS TO MATERIALS PROTECTED BY THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT OR WORK-PRODUCT PRIVILEGES. Though we believe the subpoenas should be quashed in their entirety, in the event the Court determines to enforce the subpoenas, the Court should be particularly careful to assure that safeguards are put in place to prevent the disclosure of attorney-client communications and attorney work-product. The subpoenaed -materials contain information and documents protected by the attorney-client and work-product privileges, including attorney-client communications between Mr. Epstein and attorneys regarding various legal matters with respect to which he sought and obtained the assistance of counsel. Black Aft 113. Prior to any production of the subpoenaed computers, counsel must be permitted to review an image of their contents for the purpose of identifying all privileged materials contained in the computers, segregating the privileged materials from the remaining content of the computers to ensure that privileged materials do not fall into the hands of government investigators. The Sixth Circuit recently adopted a similar procedure in the context of traditional subpoenaed documents. The Court in In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 454 F.3d 511 (6th Cir. 2006), was called upon to "determine who has the right to 36 Black, Srcbnick, Komspan &S S• 201 S.

Florida 33131 • Phone: • Fax • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179025 conduct a review for privilege of documents subject to a grand jury subpoena directed to a third party who possesses the documents but has not yet produced them to the government: the targets of the investigation whose rights of privilege are potentially implicated, or the federal government, operating a `taint team' behind a `Chinese wall' or protective screen". Id. at 512. The district court had rejected the proposal by the targets of the investigation that their counsel review the responsive documents and prepare a privilege log, with disputes to be resolved by the court in favor of first-instance review by a government "taint team". ' The Court, noting that "t7and juries are not empowered to override private rights in all cases", and, in particular, "may not use their investigatory authority to violate a valid privilege" (id at 519), reversed the district court, concluding that the risks to the attorney-client privilege inherent in the government's review of privileged materials were such that the targets should be permitted the opportunity to conduct their own privilege review prior to production. See id. at 521-23. Interestingly, in that case, the government conceded that "the leaking of privileged materials to investigators would raise the specter of Kastigar-like evidentiary hearings". Id. at 517. This case presents the same specter should Mr. Epstein be indicted. The recognized importance of the attorney-client privilege is such that this Court should permit Mr. Epstein's counsel to review the contents of the computers to identify all privileged information, segregate it from the remaining contents of 37 Black. Srebnick. Komspanan • 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131. Phone: • Fax • wmv.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179026 the computers, and create a privilege log. Any disputes regarding privilege should be resolved by the Court prior to access by the government. VII. SUBPOENAING PURELY PRIVATE PAPERS VIOLATES THE FIFTH AMENDMENT UNDER BOYD. In Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616 (1886), the Supreme Court condemned the seizure of an individual's private personal papers and their use as evidence against him as violative of the Fifth Amendment. While admittedly Boyd has been deeply eroded, and language in Hubbell, 530 U.S. at 35-36, would appear to be at odds with this portion of Boyd, the relevant portion of Boyd pertaining to an individual's private papers has not been directly overruled. Indeed, the Eleventh Circuit, in a case decided pre-Hubbell, left open the question of the continued vitality of Boyd with respect to personal documents. In re Grand Jury Investigation, 921 F.2d 1184, 1187 n.6 (11th Cir. 1991). And see Barrett v. Acevedo, 169 F.3d 1155, 1167 58th Cir. 1999) ("whether Doe's rationale extends to purely personal papers in a defendant's possession is still open to some debate"). Permitting the government to compel an individual to turn over to the government the entire contents of his computers for the government to do with it as it will, including reading all of his most private thoughts and communications, and then using those private writings to try him for a crime, "would break the heart of our 38 Black.

It should not be permitted under the Fifth Amendment. CONCLUSION For all these reasons Mr. Epstein's must be permitted to intervene and to move to quash the subpoena duces tecum issued to William Riley, and the motion to quash the subpoenas should be granted in its entirety.

I am an attorney at law, duly admitted to practice before the State of Florida and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. 2. As detailed further below, I am counsel to Jeffrey Epstein, the movant herein. It is my intention herein not to waive the attorney-client, attorney work-product or any other privileges, and I have no authority to do so. I make this affidavit solely to provide sufficient facts to support Mr. Epstcin's motion to intervene and to quash the subpoenas duces tccum issued to William Riley and Riley Kiraly which make identical requests, copies of which are annexed hereto as Exhibit "A". 3. In or around September or October 2005, I was consulted and retained by Mr. Epstein to represent him in connection with an investigation being conducted by the State EFTA00179029 Attorney in Palm Beach County. I understood that the State Attorney was investigating allegations that Mr. Epstein had paid women to provide him with massages in his home and that one or more of the women were alleged to have been under the age of 18 at the time of the massage. It was further alleged that during the course of one or more of the massages, sexual activity may have occurred. 4. In connection with my representation of Mr. Epstein, in or about September or October 2005 I retained the firm of Riley Kiraly, private investigators, to assist me in my representation of Mr. Epstein. I began thereafter to work in particular with licensed investigator William Riley. Without disclosing any work done by Mr. Riley or his firm on Mr. Epstein's behalf and at my direction, any actions thereafter taken by him or the firm were taken in connection with the legal representation of Mr. Epstein. 5. On July 17, 2006, Mr. Epstein was charged by a grand jury sitting in Palm Beach County with one count of solicitation of a prostitute, a third degree felony. That charge is pending. 6. Both prior to the charge being brought and thereafter I and other attorneys representing Mr. Epstein were provided with open disclosure of the State's evidence. As a result, I have had the opportunity to review all or virtually all of the evidence obtained by the State in its investigation. Included in the material I have reviewed are the audio and/or video taped sworn statements of 18 witnesses, transcripts of all 18 of those recorded sworn statements, the transcript of one additional sworn statement, and over 125 pages of documents prepared by the Palm Beach Police Department which detail every sworn statement obtained by detectives, every interview conducted by detectives, all their investigative efforts and all the evidence gathered. These documents include the entire police file, as well as the probable cause affidavits - 2 - EFTA00179030 prepared by Palm Beach detectives and the application for a search warrant of Mr. Epstein's home. 7. Reviewing these materials has afforded me a thorough understanding of the factual bases for any allegations that have been, or could have been, made against Mr. Epstein. 8. In or around January 2007, a federal grand jury in this District began a parallel investigation of Mr. Epstein to determine whether any federal laws were broken by Mr. Epstein's alleged conduct. We understood the conduct being scrutinized by the federal grand jury was the same as the subject of the State prosecution. Indeed, during the course of the federal investigation, prosecutors asked for and were provided with copies of the 18 recorded sworn witness statements, and further asked for copies of the transcripts of those sworn statements. 9. That the two investigations examine the same alleged conduct is also clear from the attached letter of the Chief of the Palm Beach Police Department expressing the Department's displeasure with the actions of the state grand jury and State Attorney's Office, and explaining he was referring the matter to federal authorities in order to initiate a federal investigation of the facts. See Letter of Michael S. Reiter, Chief of Police, dated July 24, 2006, annexed as Exhibit "B". At the same time, the Palm Beach Police Department both publicly released copies of its files, including the 87 page police report and probable cause affidavits prepared by its detectives, and publicly announces its intentions to bring the investigation to federal authorities due to the Department's dissatisfaction with the State Attorney's handling of the matter. See News Articles, annexed as Exhibit "C". 10. As part of that subsequent parallel federal investigation, I and other attorneys representing Mr. Epstein have repeatedly met with and spoken to federal prosecutors directing - 3 - EFTA00179031 the investigation. Again, those discussions have afforded me and other counsel an opportunity to understand the factual bases for any charges that could purportedly be brought. 11. I understand from my conversations with federal prosecutors that the federal statutes being considered are potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §2423 (travel for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual activity) and 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), use of the Internet or other means of interstate communication to persuade, entice or coerce another to engage in unlawful sexual activity. 12. I can state without any hesitation, based on my knowledge of the evidence being reviewed, there have been no claims, nor is there any factual support for the making of any claims, that Mr. Epstein ever, directly or indirectly, used a computer to locate, to entice, to solicit, to coerce, or to persuade any woman to engage in any unlawful sexual activity. Nor is there any claim or reference to the use or display of any web based or computer based pornography. Further, there are no references whatever to the use of computers in connection with the alleged conduct at issue here. 13. In short, I have had a rare opportunity to view at least the whole of the State's evidence, which was turned over to federal authorities as part of their grand jury investigation, and to discuss any additional federal evidence gathered during the federal grand jury investigation. At no time has any potential claimant or any prosecutor ever mentioned the use of a computer by Mr. Epstein to engage in any wrongdoing. 14. These subpoenas were not issued in a vacuum. They are simply the most recent in a series of highly intrusive and unusual attempts to acquire highly personal and/or privileged information concerning Mr. Epstein that can have no relevance whatever to the investigation, including Mr. Epstein's personal tax returns (see Letter of , Assistant United - 4 - EFTA00179032 States Attorney, dated November 16, 2006, annexed as Exhibit "D"), medical records including treatment notes of Mr. Epstein's treatment by a chiropractor (see Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum, dated March 13, 2007, to Dr. Thomas Rofrano annexed as Exhibit "E"), and now, invasion of the defense camp by seeking records of the investigative work performed by Mr. Riley on behalf of your affiant engaged as Mr. Epstein's counsel in the very same investigation. 15. While the propriety of those other subpoenas is not at issue here, the subpoenas to Mr. Riley and to his firm are. When it was pointed out to prosecutors that internal Department of Justice rules require, inter alia, that issuance of the subpoenas be predicated on the pre-approval of the Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division under the United States Attorneys' Manual ("USAM"), §9-11.255, the question as to whether such approval had been obtained was simply ducked in an exchange of correspondence. See Letter of Roy Black; Esq., to Assistant United States Attorney, dated July 13, 2007, and the letter from Ms. in response, annexed as Exhibits "F' and "G", respectively. Though such guidelines create no third party rights, the fact that the required approval evidently was not obtained highlights the continuing overreaching of this investigation. 16. Moreover, quite apart from whether the required steps were taken internally to obtain approval before issuing the subpoenas, I also challenge whether, as a substantive matter, the government could meet the internal guidelines necessary for issuing a subpoena seeking information relating to the representation of a client, as set forth in USAM §9-13.410. 17. I also want to address the matter of attorney-client communications and attorney work-product. While, for purposes of this motion, we are not conceding the existence of any computers that would be responsive to the subpoena, to the extent there are any such computers, they would contain documents that are clearly attorney-client communications and attorney - 5 - EFTA00179033 work-product. Though for the reasons set forth in the motion the subpoenas should be quashed in their entirety, to the extent the Court allows the government to review the contents of the computer, I respectfully submit that a procedure must be instituted to allow for the protection of Mr. Epstein's attorney-client communications and attorney work-produc Sworn to before me this • 17th day of July 2007.

Palm Beach police spent months sifting through Epstein's trash and 'watching his waterfront home and Palm Beach International Airport to keep tabs on his private jet. An indictment charging Epstein, 53, was unsealed Monday, charging him with one count of felony solicitation of prostitution. Palm Beach police thought there was probable cause to charge Epstein with unlawful sex acts with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation. Police Chief Michael Reiter was so angry with State Attorney Barry Krischer's handling of the case that he wrote a memo suggesting the county's top prosecutor disqualify himself. "I must urge you to examine the unusual course that your office's handling of this matter has taken and consider if good and sufficient reason exists to require your disqualification from the prosecution of these cases," Reiter wrote in a May 1 memo to Krischer. While not commenting specifically on the Epstein case, Mike Edmondson, spokesman for the state attorney, said his office presents cases other than murders to a grand jury when there are questions about witnesses' credibility and their ability to testify. By the nature of their jobs, police officers look at evidence from a , "one-sided perspective," Edmondson said. "A prosecutor has to look at it in a much broader fashion," weighing the veracity of witnesses and how they may fare under defense attorneys' questioning, he said. Epstein's attorney, Jack Goldberger, said his client committed no crimes. "The reports and statements in question refer to false accusations that were not charged because the Palm Beach County state attorney questioned the credibility of the witnesses," Goldberger said. A county grand jury "found the allegations wholly unsubstantiated and not credible," and that's why his client was not charged with sexual activity with minors, he said. Goldberger said Epstein passed a lie detector test administered by a reputable polygraph examiner in which he said he did not know the girls were minors. Also, a search warrant served on Epstein's home found no evidence to corroborate the girls' allegations, Goldberger said. EFTA00179043 According to police documents: • A Palm Beach Community College student said she gave Epstein a massage in the nude, then brought him six girls, ages 14 to 16, for massage and sex-tinged sessions at his home. * A 27-year-old woman who worked as Epstein's personal assistant also facilitated the liaisons, phoning the PBCC student to arrange for girls when Epstein was coming to town. And she escorted the girls upstairs when they arrived, putting fresh sheets on a massage table and placing massage oils nearby. * Police took sworn statements from five alleged victims and 17 witnesses. They contend that on three occasions, Epstein had sex with the girls. A money manager for the ultra-rich, Epstein was named one of New York's most eligible bachelors in 2003 by The New York PoSt. He reportedly hobnobs with the likes of former President Clinton, former Harvard University President Lawrence Summers and Donald Trump, and has lavish homes in Manhattan, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. He has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic Party candidate& and organizations, including Sen. John Kerry's presidential bid, and the Senate campaigns of Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer. Goldberger is one of five attorneys Epstein has retained since he became the subject of an investigation, Edmondson said. Among the others: Alan Dershowitz, the well-known Harvard law professor and author, who is a friend of Epstein. Dershowitz could not be reached for comment. Police said the woman who enlisted young girls for Epstein was 20, of Royal Palm Beach. has worked at an Olive Mt restaurant in Wellington and said she was a journalism major at Palm Beach Community College when she was questioned by police last October. She has 'an unlisted phone number and could not be reached for comment. said she met Epstein when, at age 17, a friend asked her if she would like to make money giving him a massage. She said she was driven to his five-bedroom, 7 1/2 -bath home on the Intracoastal Waterway, then escorted upstairs to a bedroom with a massage table and oils. Epstein and were both naked during the massage, she said, but when he grabbed her buttocks, she said she didn't want to be touched. Epstein said he'd pay her to bring him more girls * the younger the better, told police. When she tried once to bring a 23-year-old woman to him, Epstein said she was too old, said. who has not been charged in the case, said she eventually brought six girls to Epstein who were paid $200 each time, said. "I'm like a Heidi Fleiss," police quoted her as saying. Theillitl knew what to expect when they were taken to Epstein's home, said. Give a massage * maybe naked * and allow some touching. EFTA00179044 One 14-year-old girl took to meet Epstein led police to start the investigation of him in March 2005. A relative of the girl called to say she thought the child had recently engaged in sex with a Palm Beach man. The girl then got into a fight with a classmate who accused her of being a prostitute, and she couldn't explain why she had $300 in her purse. The girl gave police this account of her meeting with Epstein: She accompanied and a second girl to Epstein's house on a Sunday in February 2005. Once there, a woman she thought was Epstein's assistant told the girl to follow her upstairs to a room featuring a mural of a naked woman, several photographs of naked women on a shelf, a hot pink and green sofa and a massage table. She stripped to -her bra and panties and gave him a massage. Epstein gave the 14-year-old $300 and she and the other girls left, she said.' She said told her that Epstein paid her 8200 that day. ' Other girls told similar stories. In most accounts, Epstein's personal assistant at the time, now 27, escorted the girls to Epstein's bedroom. , whose most recent known address is in North Carolina, has not been charged in the case. Palm Beach police often conducted surveillance of Epstein's home, and at Palm Beach International Airport to see if his private jet was there, so they would know when he was in town. Police also arranged repeatedly to receive his trash from Palm Beach sanitation workers, collecting papers with names and phone numbers, sex toys and female hygiene products. One note stated that a female could not come over at 7 p.m. because of soccer. Another said a girl had to work Sunday * "Monday after school?" And still another note contained the work hours of a girl, saying she leaves school at 11:30 a.m. and would come over the next day at 10:30 a.m. Only three months before the police department probe began, Epstein donated 890,000 to the department for the purchase of a firearms simulator, said Jane Struder, town finance director. The purchase was never made. The money was returned to Epstein on Monday, she said. EFTA00179045 I. Palm Beach Police Chief Says Justice Wasn't Served in Teen Sex Scandal July 26, 2006 6:47 PM Maddy Sauer Reports: *Me . z igta . yam a 1041410 SW+ hie btia WM thitliWolkokatobioa ny/m i acen"1 do not feel that justice has been sufficiently served," wrote Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter in a letter he sent to the parents of young girls that he believes are victims of sex crimes committed by New York financier Jeffrey Epstein. The police chief is angry that despite his department's lengthy probe of Epstein's alleged illegal sexual activity with underagesirls, Epstein was indicted on a much lesser charge of soliciting a prostitute. The probable causeaffidavit for Epstein's arrest alleges much more serious acts. Epstein is alleged to have repeatedly paid young, and some underage girls, to come to his house, massage him and on a few occasions have sex with him, according to the affidavit. Meanwhile, the Palm Beach police have referred the matter to the FBI. Today, Epstein's attorney called the allegations untrue and said that the witnesses' credibility had been called into question. "The reports and statements in question refer to false accusations that were not charged because the Palm Beach County State Attorney's office questioned the credibility of the witnesses, and a Palm Beach County grand jury decided not to believe the allegations," said Jack Goldberger. "Consequently, the grand jury chose not to accuse Mr. Epstein of anything beyond the solicitation of a prostitute." - Calls seeking comment from the Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer were not returned today. Chief Reiter has not been happy with lCrischer's handling of the matter for some time. He wrote an angry letter to him in May urging him to consider disqualifying himself from the prosecution of the case saying: "I must renew my prior observation to you that 1 continue to find your office's treatment of these cases highly unusual." wrote Reiter. He urged Krischer to "consider if good and sufficient reason exists to require your disqualification from the prosecution of these cases." The police believed they had probable cause to arrest Epstein on four counts of unlawful sex acts with minors and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation. EFTA00179046 While Epstein was indicted on charges of soliciting a prostitute, the allegations in the police affidavit are more serious. Among them: - A girl who began massaging Epstein when she was 16 years old told police she became his "number one girl" and had visited his house hundreds of times. According to police, she said that when she told Epstein she was 16 years old, he advised her not to tell anyone that. This same girl said she and Epstein had an understanding that no vaginal penetration would occur. Yet on one occasion, she told police, Epstein forced himself on her. "She said her head was being held against the table forcibly, as he continued to pump inside her. She screamed No!' and Epstein stopped," according to the affidavit. Epstein allegedly paid the girl $1,000 for that visit. - A 14-year-old girl and her family reported that Epstein had touched the girl's vaginal area with a vibrator when she was at his house. , - One woman who would bring young girls to Epstein's house to massage him told police she . brought six girls to see him, and that they were all ages 14 to 16. - Many of the girls told police that Epstein would try and convince them to take off more clothing or to go further sexually than they were comfortable doing. "Jeff would try to get away with more and more on each massage,"Tajd•one girl who began massaging Epstein when she was 16 years old. » Click here for Brian & Investigative Team's llomenage July 26, 2006 I Permalink I User Comments (1.5) Contact ABC News I ABC.com !

No. ) REPLY OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN TO UNITED STATES' RESPONSE TO HIS MOTION TO INTERVENE AND TO QUASH GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS AND CROSS- MOTION TO COMPEL A substantial portion of the government's response consists of rambling generalizations about various areas of the law which have little or nothing to do with the issues actually raised by Epstein, and those sections of the response require no reply. In other portions, however, the government has ignored critical facts, mischaracterized or misunderstood the arguments advanced by Epstein, and relied upon case law so markedly distinguishable from the circumstances of this case as to he wholly inapplicable. It is to these portions of the response to which this reply is directed. I. The first area which requires reply is the government's assertions that Riley simply failed, without notice and without excuse, to appear at the time scheduled for his grand jury appearance. See Response at 1, 5, 6 n.6. This is simply untrue. Riley's appearance date had previously been continued from July 10, 2007, until July 17, 2007, by agreement of the parties. On July 16, 2007, counsel for Epstein were informed by Deputy Chief that Riley did not have to appear physically before the grand jury if a motion to quash the subpoena was filed by Epstein before the end of the day on July 17, 2007, and the motion was so filed. Based 7N c tfler. 117"/I Black. Srebnick. Kornspan & Stumpf _ . EFTA00179072 ,9e JP - upon this understanding, Riley. did not appear. Thus, Riley did not flout the subpoena, as the government wishes the Court to believe. In agreeing to excuse Riley's appearance, the government knew that Epstein, and not Riley, was the real party in interest and that the important legal issues at stake were those surrounding Epstein's privacy rights in the contents of the computers. See Sections II, III, infra. Next, it is important to point out an erroneous locus which appears throughout the government's response. The government refers again and again to the subpoena's command for the production of computers, as if all it wanted was possession of the physical items themselves. For example, the government wishes the "Court to proceed on the manifestly erroneous assumption that the subpoenas are "narrowly tailored" to seek only the "physical computers removed from Epstein's residence." Response at S. See also Response at 38 (government contends that the subpoenas are sufficiently particularized because they specifically describe the three computers). They are not. Those assertions may reflect the literal wording of the subpoenas, but simple possession of the physical containers is not the government's real object here. What the government actually wants is unfettered access to the entire contents of Epstein's computers — every personal and business document, every email, every item of correspondence. in sum. every item on the hard drives, regardless of their relevance to the matters under investigation, a request little different than had it commanded that Epstein produce every document in his house, regardless of subject matter. Critically, nowhere in the government's response does it disavow this intention (or argue that the subpoenas contain any limitation on its ability to rummage through the contents of the computers at will). - n - Black. Srcbnick. Kornspan & Stumpf 20i S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite lino • Miami 7ne »I A, . r EFTA00179073 r aye re i In his motion, Epstein argued at length, supported by considerable contemporary case law (and by the discussion in the United States Attorneys Manual regarding the need to particularize computer files to be seized), that the government cannot, consistently with the Fourth Amendment, whether by subpoena or warrant, be permitted to search at will and without limitation through the contents of the computers. See Motion at 19-26. The govenunent has not responded to Epstein's Fourth Amendment particularity contentions. ft has neither sought to provide legal justification for its obvious intention, if the subpoenas are enforced as written, to conduct a fishing expedition through the contents of the computers nor has it proposed suitable limitations on the scope of its search — such as targeted search terms — to ensure that the search of the contents of the computers does not extend beYand • items relevant to the grand jury's investigation.' Rather than respond to the unassailable merit of Epstein's arguments, the government has chosen to take refuge in an utterly unsupported — and erroneous — argument that an intervenor may not challenge a subpoena as unreasonable and oppressive. See Section Ill, infra. Contrary to the government's argument, challenges to grand jury subpoenas are not limited to claims of privilege. See Response at 6, 36-37. "It is well-established that a litigant may have sufficiently important, legally-cognizable interests in the materials or testimony sought by a grand jury subpoena issued to another person to give the litigant standing to challenge the validity of that subpoena." In re Grand Jury, Ill F.3d 1066, 1073 (3d Cir. 1997)(collecting On page 38 of its Response, the government finally admits what it is looking for: evidence of sexual exploitation of minors, including surveillance camera footage, "computer printouts showing electronic messages for `appointments' with the minors; and printouts showing payments made to girls." This description readily illustrates the ease with which the subpoenas could have been appropriately particularized. The subpoenas, however, make not the slightest nod to limiting the government's search of the computers to such materials. Nor for that matter, has the covernment presented the slightest evidence that what it seeks is to be found on these computers at all. - 3 - alack.Srcbnick. Kornspan & Stumpf 120I S.

In that case, the Court concluded that intervenors had standing to challenge a subpoena issued to an individual who had privately wiretapped conversations with the intervenors in violation of Title III to prevent her from turning over the tapes of the conversations to the grand jury. Importantly, the Court reasoned that lbjecause it is Doe 1 and Doe 2 whose privacy has been violated and would again be violated by compliance with the subpoena, and since Doe 3 is the perpetrator of the unlawful recordings, it is the intervenors and not the witness herself who are best suited to assert the Title III claims." Id. at 1072 (emphasis added). See also United States v. Comprehensive Drug Testing, Inc., 473 F.3d 915, 954 (9th Cir. 2006)(Thomas, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part)(noting that district court permitted major league baseball players' association to intervene to challenge grand—jury subpoena directed to laboratories based on its interest in protecting the privacy rights of its members whose samples and test results were sought); In re Grand Jury, 286 F.3d 153, 157 (3d Cir. 2002)(considering merits of intervenor's claim that grand jury subpoena to his counsel in a civil case was unreasonable or oppressive under Fed.

Here, in addition to the attorney-client/work product and Fifth Amendment privileges asserted by Epstein, which the government concedes that he has standing to raise, Epstein also asserts important Fourth Amendment and privacy rights in opposition to enforcement of the subpoena.' These are rights personal to Epstein, and the government would no doubt be the first 2 Lanebrd v. Chrysler Motors Corp., 513 F.3d 1121 (2d Cir. 1975), on which the government relies.

It is his Fourth Amendment and privacy rights which will he irrevocably trampled by the government's obtaining unfettered access to the contents of his computers, an object which the government does not even now deny. TV. Leaving aside for the moment Epstein's argument based on Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616 (1986), see Motion at 28, the Fifth Amendment right asserted by Epstein relates not to the content of the materials contained in the computers but to the testimonial ccimmunications inherent in the act of producing the computers and, concomitantly and inseparably, their contents. See Motion at 9-16. Thus, the government's discussion at pages 13-15 is wholly beside the point.5 was a narrowly targeted subpoena to a bank for records pertaining to a single mortgage application, sought by the United States as an aid in collecting a default judgment. In neither of these cases did the movants assert interests remotely comparable to the important Fourth Amendment and privacy interests asserted by Epstein. If the Court were to sustain the government's standing objection as to Epstein. Riley and Riley Kirsh would file a-motion to quash the subpoenas As stated in his original motion, at 3 n.1, Epstein does not concede the existence of any such computers — and cannot without waiving his Fifth Amendment act of production privilege — but, for purposes of this Reply, refers herein to "computers" as if one or more of the computers referenced in the subpoenas do exist. United States v. Davis. 636 F.2d 1028, 1039 (5th Cir. 1981), on which the government relies, Response at 14, presented the opposite scenario to this case — attorneys seeking to assert the Fifth Amendment rights of their client. In Couch v. United States, 409 U.S. 322 (1973), also relied on by the government, the taxpayer asserted a Fifth Amendment privilege as to the subpoenaed materials themselves; there was no act-of-production privilege claimed. The same was wue in SEC v. Jerry T. O'Brien. Inc.. 467 U.S. 735 (1984). In United Stares v. Ghidoni, 732 F.2d 814, 818.19 (11th Cir. 1984), quite unlike this case, the authorization which the target was required to sign did not admit the existence of the bank accounts or that he controlled them, nor did it in any way serve to authenticate any bank records which might be produced. Black. Srebnick. Kornspan & Stumpf •-• EFTA00179076 vvatma k.ornez rage Fits Epstein does not contend that the computers or their contents (leaving aside his Boyd argument) are themselves protected from compelled disclosure by the Fifth Amendment.° Instead, as addressed in his Motion at 9-12, the Fifth Amendment protection which Epstein asserts is the act of production privilege, as production of the computers in response to the subpoena would be both testimonial and potentially incriminating. The government's assertion that the act of authenticating documents is incriminating only if the documents themselves are incriminating, Response at 28, is incorrect. What the act of production privilege protects against is the government's ability to use against the individual the compelled testimonial communication that the item produced is the item called for in the subpoena which is inherent in the act of production of the item in response to subpoena: There is no requirement that theternoWl „ asserting the privilege demonstrate that the documents sought are incriminating, and the. government has cited no authority for such a requirement-The government's assertion that Epstein has failed to show that the contents of the computers are incriminating, Response at 28, is more than a little curious, as the government would have no basis for subpoenaing the computers (or seizing them pursuant to a search warrant) if it did not think that it had reason to believe that the computers contained evidence of the alleged offenses. under investigation).? 6 As a review of his motion will quickly demonstrate, Epstein has not asserted a blanket Fifth Amendment privilege as to every document on every computer and all of the records requested from Riley/Riley Kiraly. See Response at 12. With respect to the Riley Kiraly records, Epstein has not asserted a Fifth Amendment privilege at all. The government also argues that the computers are not testimonial for purpoies of the Fifth Amendment. see Response at 22.24, but Epstein has never suggested that they are. But, as previously stressed, it is not the computers in which the government is interested — it wants access to the contents of the hard drive. This argument is but another iteration of the government's repeated references to "computers" as if the physical equipment were all it was concerned with and all that was at issue here. See, e.g., Response at 5, 7, 14, 16,18, 20, 22, 23,26, 27, 38. The government's insistent focus on "the computers" rather than their contents serves only to obfuscate the real issues before the Court. - 6 - Black, Srebnick. Kornspan & Stumpf 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 1300. Miami. Florida 33131 • Phone- 30S-17I-647i. re.. EFTA00179077 r 39e *II The government argues that the act of production privilege is inapplicable because the existence and location of the computers are a "foregone conclusion," Response at 27, but that is plainly not the case - if the government knows, as it contends it does, that Riley has the computers, why then did it issue a subpoena to a prior investigator for the production of the computers? Nothing in affidavits which were filed with the response establishes that the computers exist, that they are in Riley's custody or control, or that there is an independent basis to authenticate them. This information is precisely what the act of production would communicate: that three computers were once in Epstein's house and that the three computers produced in response to the subpoena were those specific computers — facts that are not, in the absence of the testimonial communications inherent in the act of production, "foregone conclusions." These are the testimonial communications inherent in the act of production, and it is to these communications which Epstein's Fifth Amendment privilege claim is directed. Moreover, once again, the government's argument is directed only to the computers themselves. The act of production privilege applies not just to the computers themselves, but also to the documents contained within the computers, which would be identified as having been in Epstein's home and implicitly authenticated by the act of production. These are also grotccted testimonial communications. The government certainly has not shown that particular documents or other items are known to exist within the specific computers at issue or that there is an independent basis for the authentication of the documents within the computers. Finally, it bears repeating that for purposes of invoking the act of production privilege (and for purposes of the attorney-client privilege), Riley stands in the same relationship to Epstein as counsel himself and, in turn, stands in the shoes of his client. Epstein, therefore. - 7 - Black. Srebnick. Kornspan & Stum 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami.

See Motion at 11-12, and cases cited therein. V. The government's argument at pages 18-22 of its Response completely confuses Epstein's arguments. Epstein did not and does not contend that the removal of the computers from Epstein's house constituted the "selection and compilation of documents" that would disclose counsel's "thought processes." Response at 20. Instead, the work product argument to which the government appears to be responding was made with respect to paragraph 3 of' the subpoenas, which demands production of an array of information that impermissibly intrudes into the defense function by seeking information which would reveal the defense investigation, strategy, and tactics. See Motion at' 13-16. In an effort to undercut this argument that Epstein has not made, the government relies on cases in which an attorney or an investigator knowingly removed inculpatory evidence from its original location. See Response at 21-22 & n.14. Such cases could not be more divorced from the circumstances of this case \UnlikeTa murder ikenatkon:Olbini robbery s, it% not themsehaaideiteektallkistif The cases on which the government relies are wholly inapposite.

Defendant argued that the government was precluded by the attorney-client privilege from introducing at trial either the money or evidence regarding its removal from his residence. Hunter stands for no more than the proposition that "[w]hen defense - counsel or a member of the defense team removes incriminating evidence, the government may introduce testimony establishing the original location and condition of the evidence." Id. at *3. The theory underlying Hunter and the cases on which it relied9 was, in essence, that the attorney- client privilege will not be applied to deprive the government of trial evidence regarding an incriminating physical item and its original location, where counsel acted wrongfully in removing obviously incriminatine evidence from its original location. Nothing in Hunter speaks to the issues actual])' raised by Epstein or supports the enforcement of the government's subpoenas, either the paragraphs demanding the production of the computers or the paragraph seeking Riley Kiraly documents relatin to Epstein. Contrary to the government's repeated assertions, Epstein has not contended that the computers themselves are protected by the attorney-client privilege or that the attorney-client privilege precludes production of the computers in response to the subpoenas, but only that they contain information and materials protected by the attorney-client privilege. Motion at 26-28. 1 h:ere:tore, even were the computers "incriminating evidence" — which they manifestly are not t- Hunter in no way Undermines Epstein's challenges to—theiNip E Nor has Epstein contended 9 Hunter relied on Clucheue v.

In Cuchette, the investigator the defendant's wife — obtained and carried away highly inculpatory receipts from an automobile upholstery shop which showed that defendant had had his car reupholstered in close proximity to a murder which an eyewitness said had been committed in the car. Like the defendant in Hunter, the defendant argued that the anomey-client privilege precluded admission of the receipts against him at trial. Similarly, in Meredith, the defense investigator found the murder victim's wallet based on information obtained from the defendant and turned it over to defendant's attorney, who in turn, gave it to the police. - 9 - Black.

As we explained at our meeting on July 31, 2007, the Office believes that the federal interest will not be vindicated in the absence of a two-year term of state imprisonment for Mr. Epstein. That offer was not meant as a starting point for negotiations, it is the minimum term of imprisonment that will obviate the need for federal prosecution. The Office has never agreed that a state prison sentence is not appropriate for Mr. Epstein. Rather we simply stated that if Mr. Epstein preferred to serve his sentence in a federal penetentiary, we would be willing to explore a federal conviction that may allow that in lieu of any state resolution. Further, as I made clear in our follow up telephone conversation after the meeting, a plea to two federal misdemeanors was never extended or meant as an offer. We also would reiterate that the agreement to Section 2255 liability applies to all of the minor girls identified during the federal investigation, not just the 12 that form the basis of an initial planned charging instrument. As you know, the ability to engage in flexible plea negotiations is dramatically changed upon the return of an indictment. Once an indictment is returned, the Office does not intend to file a Superseding Information containing a lesser charge or to dismiss the case in favor of state prosecution.

Alexander Acosta EFTA00179084 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA IN RE GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS DUCES TECUM NUMBERS OLY-63 and OLY-64 FGJ 07-103(WPB) UNITED STATES' SURREPLY TO REPLIES FILED BY WITNESS WILLIAM RILEY AND INTERVENOR JEFFREY EPSTEIN RE: MOTION TO OUASH GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS UNDER SEAL EFTA00179085 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA IN RE GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS FGJ 07-103(WPB) DUCES TECUM NUMBERS OLY-63 and OLY-64 UNDER SEAL UNITED STATES' SURREPLY TO REPLIES FILED BY WITNESS WILLIAM RILEY AND INTERVENOR JEFFREY EPSTEIN RE: MOTION TO OUASII GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS The United States, by and through the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney, hereby files this Surreply to the Replies filed by Witness William Riley and Intervenor Jeffrey Epstein,' and notes the following: 1. Both the witness and the intervenor assert that Mr. Riley was excused from appearing before the grand jury and that Mr. Riley did not flout the subpoena by failing to appear. AUSA agreed with Attorney Mr. Black that Mr. Riley would not have to appear and produce the disputed items if a motion to quash all aspects of the subpoenas was filed. Neither party's pleading has asserted that the subpoenas should be quashed as to Mr. Riley's testimony. Thus, the United States does not contend that Mr. Riley intentionally disobeyed the subpoena, but notes that the Motion to Quash does not address all aspects of the subpoenas and, therefore, the subpoena for testimony is enforceable. The undersigned has conferred with the office of Mr. Riley's counsel, and it has been agreed that Mr. Riley will appear before the grand jury on September 18, 2007. However, 'Witness William Riley did not file an initial motion to quash the grand jury subpoenas, but did file a Reply to the United States' Response to the Intervenor's Motion to Quash. Accordingly, the United States has not previously had the opportunity to respond to the issue raised by Mr. Riley. EFTA00179086 in footnote 3 of Intervenor Epstein's Reply, counsel asserts that, if "the Court were to sustain the government's standing objection as to Epstein, Riley and Riley Kiraly would file a motion to quash the subpoenas." (Epstein Reply at 5 n.3.) The United States would oppose such a motion on timeliness grounds. 2. In the Reply filed by Intervenor Epstein, counsel asserts that "simple possession of the physical containers [the computers] is not the government's real object here. What the government actually wants is unfettered access to the entire contents of Epstein's computers . . ." (Epstein Reply at 2.) Epstein is mistaken. The grand jury has subpoenaed the computersthe items as they were removed from Mr. Epstein's home. The grand jury probably has the authority to subpoena the contents of those computers, but, in an abundance of caution, the undersigned's general policy is to seek a search warrant for the contents of a computer once it is securely in custody, and that is the United States' intended approach in this case, as well. This procedure will allow the Court to decide whether adequate probable cause exists for the search of the computers' contents without prematurely exposing to the target matters occurring before the grand jury, and will allow the target to challenge the probable cause for the search on a Motion to Suppress. 3. Epstein argues that he has no obligation to show that the computers (or the production of those computers) arc incriminating before he can assert the act of production privilege. (Epstein Reply at 6.) This is not the case; if it were, every person could assert the act of production privilege to refuse to produce anything in response to a subpoena.2 Instead, a target must address the act of production privilege on a document by document basis explaining how the production of that 2Fol lowing Epstein's logic, if a person were subpoenaed to produce her mother's coffee cake recipe, she could assert the act of production privilege because the production would be a "compelled communication that the item produced is the item called for in the subpoena." (Epstein Reply at 6.) -2- EFTA00179087 document would tend to incriminate the target. See, e.g., United States v. Grable, 98 F.3d 251, 255, 257 (6 11' Cir. 1996) ("The existence of `substantial and real hazards of self-incrimination' is a prerequisite to the proper assertion of the 'act of production' privilege.") (citations omitted); In re Three Grand Jury Subpoenas Duces Tecum Dated January 29, 1999, 191 F.3d 173, 178 (2d Cir. 1999) (The act of production privilege applies only where the act is "(1) compelled, (2) testimonial, and (3) incriminating.") (citing United States v. Doe, 465 U.S. 605, 612-14 (1984)); In re Three Grand Jury Subpoenas Dated January 5, 1988, 847 F.2d 1024, 1028 (2d Cir. 1988) (subpoenaed party must produce subpoenaed audiotape to Court to allow Court to conduct in camera inspection to determine whether act of production privilege applied); United States v. Bell; 217 F.R.D. 335, 339 (M.D. Pa. 2003) (Although voluntarily created documents are not protected by the Fifth Amendment, an act of production privilege can.be asserted, but only when "it meets two conditions: the evidence must be both (I) testimonial and (2) incriminating."). Later in his Reply, in order to avoid the clear similarity between this case and United States v. Hunter, Epstein goes out of his way to assert that the computers are not incriminating. Epstein argues: "Unlike a murder weapon or bank robbery proceeds, the computers are not themselves evidence of a crime;" and "Therefore, even were the computers 'incriminating evidence' — which they manifestly are not — Hunter in no way undermines Epstein's challenges to the subpoena." (Epstein Reply at 8, 9 (emphasis in original).) Epstein simply cannot have it both ways. Either he is able to show that the production of the 'Bell also discusses the "foregone conclusion" rationale, that is, that an act of production privilege exists only where the subpoenaed party's "production of the documents will exclusively establish their existence, authenticity, as well as [the party's] possession of them." Id. at 340 (emphasis in original). The United States relies upon the arguments in its Response to Intervenor Epstein's Motion to Quash and the information contained in the Ex Parte Affidavits to show the other methods of establishing the existence, authenticity, and Epstein's possession of the computers. -3- EFTA00179088 computers would incriminate him, or he cannot assert the act of production privilege. 4. Lastly, Epstein has still failed to provide a privilege log, saying that he not done so because he hopes that the subpoenas will be quashed in their entirety and, if not, a privilege log will then be produced. (Epstein Reply at 10.) This effort to put the onus on the Court, ("The Court should not enforce the subpoenas without affording counsel an opportunity to exclude privileged materials from the production." (id.)), turns the law of attorney-client privilege on its head and disregards binding precedent requiring a subpoenaed party to produce such a log at the time of filing its motion. The objections related to billing records are demonstrative of the untenability of this position. In civil cases, issues related to attorney's fees are regularly litigated and billing records must be produced to the opposing party. If a party objects to that production, it must produced a redacted version of the documents with an accompanying privilege/wOrk product log. After that, the issues are defined for the Court. Counsel complains that the United States has wrongly characterized their motion as a blanket assertion of privilege, but there is no other basis for a failure to produce anything. Epstein has not asserted that the production of the billing records is overly burdensome. Furthermore, Riley Kiraly is the owner of those documents and is best suited to make such a claim, if warranted. Riley Kiraly's failure to do so before the time for production waives such a claim. -4- EFTA00179089 CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, as well as the reasons set forth in the United States' Response to the Motion to Quash, the United States respectfully requests that the Court deny the Motion to Quash and order the prompt compliance with the subpoenas.

In support thereof, the United States states the following: 1. The Declaration contains additional information relating to an ongoing grand jury investigation; thus, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(6), all records and orders related to the grand-jury proceedings must be kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of a matter occurring before the grand jury. 2. The Declaration is being filed ex parte because disclosing them to the target would jeopardize the criminal investigation, and undermine the function of the grand jury. 3. As the Supreme Court has held, "[r]equiring the Government to explain in too much detail the particular reasons underlying a subpoena threatens to compromise `the indispensable secrecy of the grand jury proceedings." United States v. R. Enterprises, Inc., 498 U.S. 292, 299 (1991) (quoting United States v. Johnson, 319 U.S. 503, 513 (1943)).

In re Grand Jury Proceedings in Matter of Freeman, 708 F.2d 1571, 1576 (1 1 th Cir. 1983) (extensive citations omitted). 4. The issues raised by Intervenor Epstein's Motion to Quash require the United States to provide information obtained through the Grand Jury's investigation. Due to the pendency of the investigation, and the requirements of Grand Jury secrecy, the United States asks that the Court allow the United States to file a Supplemental Ex Parte declaration, which further addresses the factual issues raised by Intervenor Epstein, without being forced to disclose the status of the grand jury investigation and the matters occurring before the grand jury to Epstein. Prior to its initial Motion to File Ex Parte Affidavits, Rules, the undersigned conferred with counsel for Intervenor Epstein, who advised that he opposes the granting of this motion.

The subpoenas originally called for the witnesses to appear on July 10, 2007, but pursuant to an agreement between the parties, the appearance was moved to July 17, 2007. Neither Mr. Riley nor the records custodian appeared, and counsel for Jeffrey Epstein filed the instant motion on July 17, 2007, shortly before the 4:00 p.m. appearance time. The United States did not excuse the witnesses' appearances and an assertion of the attorney- client or Fifth Amendment privilege does not excuse a witness' appearance from a judicial proceeding, it only excuses the witness from having to answer questions that call for responses covered by the privilege. See Roe v. Slotnick, 781 F.2d 238 (2d Cir. 1986); McKay v. C.I.R., 886 F.2d 1237 (9th Cir. 1989). Accordingly, the United States asks the Court to compel the witnesses to appear before the grand jury on the next available date. 'Riley Kiraly is the firm that employs William Riley. For purposes of this Response, they will be referred to jointly as "Riley." Riley Kiraly and William Riley are represented by William Richey, Esq. Mr. Richey has not filed any motions on behalf of his clients. EFTA00179100 Epstein's counsel argues first that his client should be allowed to intervene as a matter of right pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)(2). Assuming that the Court grants that request, Epstein raises six arguments against the enforceability of the two grand jury subpoenas: first, that Epstein's Fifth Amendment privilege bars the subpoenas to Riley and Riley Kiraly; second, that the subpoenas violate Epstein's Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment rights; third, that the subpoenas are unreasonable because they seek items "unconnected to any crime under investigation," fourth, that the subpoenas are unreasonable because they are "oppressive, overbroad, and unparticularized;" fifth, that the subpoenaed items contain information and documents protected by the attorney-client and work product privileges; and sixth, that the subpoena of "purely private papers violates the Fifth Amendment under Boyd." In response, as an initial matter, the United States does not object to the motion to intervene to allow Epstein to assert his claim that enforcement of the subpoenas would violate the attorney- client and/or work product privileges. However, Epstein does not have standing to assert the remaining challenges to the subpoenas. As to the motion to quash, Epstein has no Fifth Amendment privilege to keep Riley from responding to the subpoenas and he has failed to carry his burden to establish that the subpoenas seek information covered by the attorney-client or work product privileges. Even if Epstein had standing to assert these challenges, the subpoenas are not unreasonable and do not violate any act of production privilege. For these reasons, the United States asks the Court to deny the Motion to Quash and to order the prompt production of the requested items and the witnesses' appearances before the Grand Jury. -2- EFTA00179101 BACKGROUND Contrary to the assertions of Epstein's counsel, he is not fully apprised of the scope of the federal grand jury investigation, which is broader than the state investigation. The federal investigation, as conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), is broader both in terms of the crimes being investigated and the number of victims identified' Epstein's counsel is correct, however, in asserting that Epstein's criminal conduct first came to the attention of the FBI when the City of Palm Beach Police Department became concerned about the manner in which the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office was handling the state prosecution. The investigation of the Palm Beach Police Department ("PBPD") revealed multiple instances of minor females traveling to Epstein's home to engage in lewd and lascivious conduce in exchange for money. PBPD's investigation was presented to the State Attorney's Office for further investigation. Soon thereafter, Epstein's team of attomeys began approaching the State Attorney's Office, applying 'Due to the rules governing Grand Jury secrecy, the full details of the Grand Jury's investigation cannot be disclosed except in camera. The facts contained herein relate to public information regarding the State's investigation and information disclosed as part of that investigation or information related to the FBI's investigation. A motion to file ex parte affidavits that contain information regarding the Grand Jury investigation is filed simultaneously with this motion. 'Epstein's counsel refers to these as "massages." The conduct involved asking girls to partially or fully disrobe and to "massage" Epstein, including straddling him and pinching his nipples, while he masturbated. Epstein would fondle the girls, becoming more sexually aggressive with each visit, graduating to digital penetration of the girls' vaginas, using a massager/vibrator on the outside of their vaginas, having the girl engage in a sexual performance with Epstein's adult girlfriend, and engaging in vaginal intercourse. With the possible exception of one girl, none of the minors had any training in massage therapy, and, as shown by Attachment E to the Black Affidavit, Epstein was receiving professional chiropractic services from a licensed chiropractor, Dr. Thomas Rofrano. Epstein's counsel misstates the state charges pending against his client. The state grand jury returned a three-count indictment. Each count charges solicitation of a prostitute. Under Florida law, the first two counts are classified as misdemeanors. A third solicitation offense is a felony. -3- EFTA00179102 pressure against prosecuting the case. The team of attorneys included Mr. Black and his firm, Jack Goldberger, Gerald Lefcourt, and Professor Alan Dershowitz.' As explained in the Declaration of Epstein knew of the state investigation by the first week of October, 2005. On October 18, 2005, a search warrant was applied for and executed. The search warrant called for the seizure of: (1) Computers, including any electronic magnetic, optical, electrochemical, or other high speed data processing device performing logical, arithmetic, or storage functions; data storage facilities such as magnetic tape, hard disk, floppy disk or drum, or cd rom; communications facilities directly relating to or operating in conjunction with such device; devices for printing records of data; and such records or data produced in various forms; manuals, documents, or instructional material relating to such devices. (2) Computer, personal computers, computer peripherals, modems, computer printers, floppy disk drives, hard disk drives, diskettes, tapes, computer printouts, software, computer programs and applications, computer manuals, system documentation. At the time of the execution, several items were conspicuously missing, including three computers.$ One of the officers who executed the search warrant had previously visited Epstein's 'Since the start of the federal investigation the team has grown to include former Southern District of Florida U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis and former Southern District of Florida Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lilly Ann Sanchez and Michael Tien. SThe wires and peripheral devices were present but the central processing units ("CPUs") were gone. -4- EFTA00179103 home (at Epstein's invitation) and had observed the three computers, one in the pool cabana, one in an area he refers to as Epstein's office, and one in an area he refers to as =Moffice. 6 The removed computers are believed to be in the custody of William Riley and/or Riley Kiraly, the subpoenaed parties. The United States has sought the whereabouts of those computers since the start of the investigation. When Guy Lewis stated that Mr. Epstein was willing to assist in the federal investigation and to turn over any requested items, the United States prepared the letter that appears as Exhibit D to Mr. Black's affidavit. To date, none of the items mentioned in requests 1, 2, 4, 5; 6 (the computer equipment), 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 13 have been provided. The items in request 12 were provided in response to subpoenas directed to the corporations that own the aircrafts. Since Epstein was not, in fact, willing to cooperate with the federal investigation, grand jury subpoenas have been issued to obtain the necessary information. The subpoenas at issue here are narrowly tailored and seek only two things: first, the physical computers removed from Epstein's residence in advance of the execution of the search warrant; second, the unprivileged material related to Epstein's hiring of William Riley's firm. Neither William Riley nor his firm has filed any motions to quash or modify, but the witnesses also have failed to appear as commanded. Accordingly, the United States hereby opposes Epstein's motion and moves for an order to compel the appearance of witnesses and production of the requested items. 'Sarah is one of Epstein's personal assistants. -5- EFTA00179104 ARGUMENT I. THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT OPPOSE THE MOTION TO INTERVENE, IN PART. The Eleventh Circuit has ruled that a target of a grand jury investigation should be allowed to intervene once the claim of attorney-client privilege between the subpoenaed witness and target surfaces. In re Grand Jury Proceedings in Matter of Freeman, 708 F.2d 1571, 1574-75 (1 1 th Cir. 1983) (citing In re Grand Jury Proceedings (Jeffrey Fine), 641 F.2d 199, 201-03 (5th Cir. 1981)). See also In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 274 F.3d 563, 570 (1st Cir. 2001) ("Colorable claims of attorney-client and work product privilege qualify as sufficient interests to ground intervention as of right.") (citation omitted). As explained below, Mr. Riley is not an attorney; Riley Kiraly is not a law firm; and the information sought does not fall within the attorney-client privilege. However, the United States recognizes that Epstein has asserted claims that he has an attorney-client privilege in the subpoenaed items, and that is the issue presented for the Court's determination. Accordingly, the United States does not oppose the motion to intervene in so far as Epstein wishes to assert the attorney-client and work product privileges. However, Epstein has not cited any authority and the United States has found none that allows a non-subpoenaed party to assert challenges to the reasonableness or oppressiveness of a subpoena. Accordingly, the United States opposes Epstein's motion to intervene to assert those claims.' 'As stated above, neither of the subpoenaed parties has raised any objection to the subpoenas and the time for production has passed. Thus, these objections have been waived. -6- EFTA00179105 H. BLANKET ASSERTIONS OF THE FIFTH AMENDMENT, ATTORNEY-CLIENT, AND WORK PRODUCT PRIVILEGES ARE UNENFORCEABLE; THE COURT MUST BE ALLOWED TO JUDGE EACH ASSERTION ON ITS FACTS. Although Epstcin's motion is painted in broad strokes, most of his arguments relate only to the demand for the production of the computer equipment removed from his home prior to the execution of the search warrant. Accordingly, the United States first discusses the claims of privilege regarding the computers, and then addresses the demand for general billing records. As to both categories, however, Epstein's motion should be denied for failure to provide detailed and specific assertions as to which privilege he claims applies to which documents. In his motion, Epstein asserts that all of the items called for by the subpoenas will violate his Fifth Amendment privilege, the attorney-client privilege, and the work product doctrine. He also implicitly asserts that every question addressed to the witnesses would violate these privileges and, therefore, the witnesses cannot be compelled to appear before the grand jury.° These blanket assertions are not authorized and undermine the Court's ability to make an independent evaluation of the applicability of the privileges. With respect to the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, the protection does not cover every instance where the target of an investigation is called to testify or produce documents. Instead, the protection of the Fifth Amendment is confined to instances where the witness "has reasonable cause to apprehend danger" of criminal prosecution. Hoffinan v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486 (1951). "The central standard for the . . . application of the Fifth °The government uses the word "implicitly" because Epstein's motion to quash does not mention witness testimony and the witnesses themselves have not filed a motion to quash; they simply failed to appear before the grand jury. -7- EFTA00179106 Amendment is whether the claimant is confronted by substantial and 'real,' not merely trifling or imaginary, hazards of incrimination." Marchetti v. United States, 390 U.S. 39, 53 (1968). Furthermore, a witness is not exonerated from answering questions merely because he declares that in so doing he would incriminate himself— his say-so does not itself establish the hazard of incrimination. It is the role of the court, not the witness, to evaluate the witness's claim of incrimination and determine whether it is reasonable. In evaluating the validity of a witness's invocation of Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, the court must make a particularized inquiry, in connection with each specific area that the questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded. Thus, the court must review the witness's assertion of the privilege on a question-by-question basis and decide whether a witness's silence is justified. United States v. Koubriti, 297 F. Supp. 2d 955, 962 (E.D. Mich. 2004) (citing Hoffinan, 341 U.S. at 53; United States v. Melchor Moreno, 536 F.2d 1042, 1049 (5th Cir. 1976); United States v. Rue, 819 F.2d 1488 (8th Cir. 1987); In re Morganroth, 718 F.2d 161, 167 (6th Cir. 1983)). See also United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991) (court must review assertions of Fifth Amendment privilege on question-by-question basis to provide presiding judge specific information needed to determine applicability of privilege). Similarly, blanket assertions of the attorney-client privilege are unacceptable. Instead, claims of privilege must be made on a document-by-document basis. United States v. Davis, 636 F.2d 1028, 1038 (5th Cir. 1981);9 In re Grand Juty Subpoena, 831 F.2d 225, 227 (11th Cir. 1987). A blanket assertion cannot be used to avoid testifying; instead, a witness' claims of attorney-client privilege are tested by refusing to answer specific questions. Davis, 636 F.2d at 1039. See also Nguyen v. Excel Corp., 197 F.3d 200 (5th Cir. 1999); Clarke v. American Commerce Nat. Bank, 974 'In Bonner v. City of Prichard, 661 F.2d 1206 (11th Cir. 1981) (en bane), the Eleventh Circuit adopted as precedent all decisions of the prior Fifth Circuit court of Appeals decided prior to October 1, 1981. -8- EFTA00179107 F.2d 127 (9th Cir. 1992); United States v. White, 950 F.2d 426, 430 (7th Cir. 1991). In his motion, Epstein has proceeded like the litigants in the case of In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 274 F.3d 563 (1st Cir. 2001), generally asserting a blanket attorney-client and work product privilege to all documents called for by a subpoena without providing a privilege log or any other specific information. Judge Selya strenuously criticized this practice, commenting: they do not identify any particular documents as privileged, nor do they specify the reasons why certain communications should be considered privileged. Thus, like soothsayers scrutinizing the entrails of a goat, we are left to scour the record for indications of what these documents might be and what they might contain. Id. at 569. The First Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of the litigants' motion to quash because of their failure "to present sufficient information with respect to the items to which their claim of privilege attaches." Id. at 575. A party that fails to submit a privilege log is deemed to waive the underlying privilege claim. . . . Although most of the reported cases arise in the context of a claim of attorney-client privilege, the "specify or waive" rule applies equally in the context of claims of work product privilege. . . . Despite this knowledge, the intervenors made no effort to prepare a privilege log. That omission is fatal. Id. at 576 (internal citations omitted; emphasis added). See also United States v. Construction Prods. Research, Inc., 73 F.3d 464, 473 (2d Cir. 1996) ("if the party invoking the privilege does not provide sufficient detail to demonstrate fulfillment of the legal requirements for application of the privilege, his claim will be rejected") (citations omitted); Dorf & Stanton Communications, Inc. v. Molson Breweries, 100 F.3d 919 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (a party who fails to submit a privilege log is deemed to have waived the underlying privilege claim). Epstein's failure to provide a privilege log dooms his motion to quash, as well. As shown by his motion, Epstein is represented by extremely competent counsel. In addition to Mr. Black and his partners, Epstein has retained at least six other attorneys with extensive experience in federal -9- EFTA00179108 court. Epstein and his counsel have had access to the subpoenaed computers since at least October 2005, when they were removed from Epstein's home, and they have known about the United States' attempts to locate those computers for at least two months, when a subpoena for the same items was served upon Paul Lavery, another private investigator who worked with Riley. This is not a situation where failure to abide by the Court's rules should be tolerated. III. IN LIGHT OF THE GRAND JURY'S INVESTIGATORY ROLE, THE FIFTH AMENDMENT AND ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGES MUST BE NARROWLY CONSTRUED. Assuming that the Court finds that Epstein has adequately asserted his Fifth Amendment, attorney-client, and work product privileges, the Court must construe the privileges narrowly in deciding their applicability in light of the important role of the Grand Jury in the investigation of these crimes involving the sexual exploitation of minors. The Supreme Court has routinely recognized the grand jury's unique role in the United States' criminal justice system. The grand jury "belongs to no branch of the institutional Government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people." United States v. Williams, 504 U.S. 36, 47 (1992). Thus, the Court's authority over the grand jury's subpoena and indictment power is limited. See, e.g., Williams, 504 U.S. at 54-55 (Court cannot require prosecutors to present exculpatory evidence to the grand jury); Costello v. United States, 350 U.S. 359, 363-64 (1956) (Court cannot create rule permitting defendants to challenge grand jury indictments because of inadequate or incompetent evidence). Instead, to fulfill its investigatory role, the grand jury may "compel the production of evidence or the testimony of witnesses as it considers appropriate, and its operation generally is unrestrained by the technical procedural and evidentiary rules governing the conduct of criminal trials." United States v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338, 343 -10- EFTA00179109 (1974). Courts are "mindful of the policy that `nowhere is the public's claim to each person's evidence stronger than in the context of a valid grand jury subpoena.' In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 219 F.3d 175, 186 (2d Cir. 2000) (quoting In re Sealed Case, 676 F.2d 793, 806 (D.C. Cir. 1982)). See also In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 223 F.3d 213, 218 (3d Cir. 2000) ("One of the most significant, if not the most significant, differences stemming from the investigative role of the grand jury is the importance of secrecy, particularly when an investigation is on-going.") (citations omitted). The grand jury is "a grand inquest, a body with powers of investigation and inquisition, the scope of whose inquiries is not to be limited narrowly by questions or propriety or forecasts of the probable result of the investigation . ." Blair v. United States, 250 U.S. 273, 282 (1919). A grand jury may "inquire into all information that might possibly bear on its investigation until it has identified an offense or has satisfied itself that none has occurred. United States v. R. Enterprises, Inc., 498 U.S. 292, 297 (1991). "As a necessary consequence of its investigatory function, the grand jury paints with a broad brush." Id. Accordingly, it is a well-recognized principle that courts should not intervene in the grand jury process absent compelling reason. United States v. Dionisio, 410 U.S. 1, 16-18 (1973). A district court also should be mindful of a target's attempts to "saddle a grand jury with mini-trials and preliminary showings [that] would assuredly impede its investigation and frustrate the public's interest in the fair and expeditious administration of the criminal laws." Id. at 17. The Court must be wary of a motion made by a target that seeks to gather information about the scope of the investigation. As the Supreme Court has held, "[r]equiring the Government to explain in too much detail the particular reasons underlying a subpoena threatens to compromise 'the indispensable -11- EFTA00179110 secrecy of the grand jury proceedings.' R. Enterprises, 498 U.S. at 299 (quoting United States v. Johnson, 319 U.S. 503, 513 (1943)). "The need to preserve the secrecy of an ongoing grand jury investigation is of paramount importance." In re Grand Jury Proceedings in Matter of Freeman, 708 F.2d 1571, 1576 (11th Cir. 1983) (extensive citations omitted). A. The Fifth Amendment Privilege Thus, in Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 (1906), the Supreme Court refused a grand jury witness' demand that he be advised of the charges that the grand jury was investigating prior to giving testimony.10 The Court also limited the assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege in response to questions before the grand jury: the Amendment does "not declare[] that [the witness] may not be compelled to testify to facts which may impair his reputation for probity, or even tend to disgrace him; but the line is drawn at testimony that may expose him to prosecution." Id. at 66- 67. As explained above, Epstein has attempted to assert a blanket Fifth Amendment privilege covering every document contained on the three computers removed from his home and all of the billing records requested from Riley. The Supreme Court has rejected this attempt to restrict the grand jury's access to information relevant to its investigation. B. The Attorney-Client Privilege In the context of the grand jury, courts have acknowledged that the attorney-client privilege "impedes the full and free discovery of the truth." In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 727 F.2d 1352, '°The Supreme Court called this "a novelty in criminal procedure with which we are wholly unacquainted, and one which might involve a betrayal of the secrets of the grand jury room." Id. at 59. Epstein counsel's assertion that he is well acquainted with the subject of the grand jury investigation and that, therefore, he purports to inform the Court of the relevance (or irrelevance) of the subpoenaed items treads upon the grand jury's investigatory powers as described in Hale. See id. at 59-64. -12- EFTA00179111 1355 (4th Cir. 1984) (citation omitted). Thus, the attorney-client privilege should be narrowly construed, id., and should be recognized "only to the very limited extent that ... excluding relevant evidence has a public good transcending the normally predominant principle of utilizing all rational means for ascertaining truth." Trammel v. United States, 445 U.S. 40, 50 (1980) (internal quotation omitted). See also In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 274 F.3d 563, 571 (1st Cir. 2001) ("Because [the attorney-client privilege] stands in the way of a grand jury's right to every man's evidence, the privilege applies only to the extent necessary to achieve its underlying goal of ensuring effective representation through open communication between lawyer and client.") (citation omitted). In the context of a grand jury subpoena, the Eleventh Circuit explains: the [attorney-client] privilege is not all-inclusive and is, as a matter of law, construed narrowly so as not to exceed the means necessary to support the policy which it promotes. Thus, the argument that any communication between an attorney and client is protected by the privilege is overbroad. Merely because a matter which a lawyer is asked to reveal might incriminate a client does not make that matter privileged. The privilege is not designed to protect revelation of incriminating matters, only confidential communications between the attorney and client regarding the matter of representation. In re Grand Jury Matter No. 91-01386, 969 F.2d 995, 997 (11th Cir. 1992) (citation omitted). Mindful of this case law, Epstein's attempt to completely bar the grand jury's access to pre- existing, voluntarily-created documents cannot stand. IV. THE COMPUTERS AND THEIR CONTENTS WERE PROPERLY SUBPOENAED AND MUST BE PRODUCED. A. Epstein Has No Fifth Amendment Privilege in the Computers. While denying the existence of the subpoenaed computer equipment, Epstein spends several pages telling the Court that requiring William Riley and Riley Kiraly to produce items in their custody implicates and violates Epstein's Fifth Amendment privilege. Epstein's motion incorrectly -13- EFTA00179112 conflates several concepts involving different privileges that, when dissected, do not apply to the subpoenaed items. The first issue is whether Epstein's Fifth Amendment privilege applies to Riley's production of the computers removed from Epstein's home. The Fifth Amendment privilege "protects a person ... against being incriminated by his own compelled testimonial communication." Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391, 409 (1976). Thus, to receive Fifth Amendment protection, a person's statement or act must be: (1) compelled; (2) testimonial; and (3) incriminate that person in a criminal proceeding. The Fifth Amendment privilege is a personal one which may not be asserted vicariously. United States v. Davis, 636 F.2d 1028, 1034 (5th Cir. 1981). Thus, "compelled production of documents from an attorney does not implicate whatever Fifth Amendment privilege the taxpayer might have enjoyed from being compelled to produce them himself." Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391, 397 (1976). The right of a person under the 5th Amendment to refuse to incriminate himself is purely a personal privilege of the witness. It was never intended to permit him to plead the fact that some third person might be incriminated by his testimony, even though he were the agent of such person. Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S 43, 69-70 (1906). In Couch v. United States, 409 U.S. 322 (1973), the Supreme Court rejected a taxpayer's assertion of her Fifth Amendment privilege to keep her attorney from turning over documents that had been in the custody of her accountant." "In the case before us the ingredient of personal compulsion against an accused is lacking. The summons and the order of the District Court "The summons had been directed to the accountant but, at the direction of the taxpayer, the accountant had turned the documents over to the attorney. -14- EFTA00179113 enforcing it are directed against the accountant. He, not the taxpayer, is the only one compelled to do anything. And the accountant makes no claim that he may tend to be incriminated by the production." Id. at 329. The Court then explained: the Fifth Amendment privilege is a personal privilege; it adheres basically to the person, not to information that may incriminate him. As Mr. Justice Holmes put it: "A party is privileged from producing the evidence, but not from its production." The Constitution explicitly prohibits compelling an accused to bear witness "against himself;" it necessarily does not proscribe incriminating statements elicited from another. . . . It is extortion of information from the accused himself that offends our sense of justice. Id. at 328 (quoting Johnson v. United States, 228 U.S. 457, 458 (1913)) (emphasis in original). Thus, the Court found that the accountant did not have a Fifth Amendment privilege and could be compelled to produce the documents. See also SEC v. Jerry T. O'Brien, Inc., 467 U.S. 735, 742 (1984) (There is no Fifth Amendment violation against the target of an investigation when a subpoena is issued to third party because the target was not compelled to produce materials.) The Eleventh Circuit has even authorized the government to demand that a target sign a written authorization allowing unidentified third-party banks to produce records within the banks' custody that relate to the target. United States v. Ghidoni, 732 F.2d 814 (11th Cir. 1984). In this case, the subpoenas are addressed to William Riley and to the Custodian of Records of Riley Kiraly. Neither Riley nor his firm has asserted a legitimate fear of incrimination (and of course they have none), only Epstein has done so. As such, the Fifth Amendment claim must fail. Furthermore, Riley Kiraly is an artificial entity, not a natural person, and therefore has no Fifth Amendment privilege at all. See, e.g., Doe v. United States, 487 U.S. 201, 206 (1988); Bellis v. United States, 417 U.S. 85, 90 (1974). -15- EFTA00179114 B. The Attorney-Client Privilege and the Work Product Doctrine Also Do Not Bar the Production of the Computers. Despite the fact that Epstein cannot assert his own Fifth Amendment privilege to bar the production of documents by Riley, in certain circumstances, an attorney (or his agent) can use the attorney-client privilege to assert an act of production immunity on behalf of his client. See, e.g., Fisher, 425 U.S. at 402-04. Those circumstances do not apply here. In Fisher, the Supreme Court determined that a defendant does not suffer a Fifth Amendment violation when his attorney is compelled to produce documents he had received from the defendant because the defendant was not compelled to testify against himself. However, the Supreme Court went on to decide that the protections of the attorney-client privilege would be eroded if documents that a defendant could not be forced to produce due to the defendant's Fifth Amendment privilege lost their protection if given to the attorney as part of a confidential communication. The Court thus concluded that where a defendant confidentially communicates preexisting documents to an attorney for purposes of obtaining legal advice, the attorney-client privilege prevents the government from compelling the attorney to produce those items unless the government could have compelled the defendant to produce them himself. Id. at 404-05. Thus, to succeed in using the attorney-client privilege to vicariously assert the Fifth Amendment privilege, Epstein must show that the removal of the computers from his home constituted a "confidential communication" where legal advice was sought — i.e., that the attorney- client privilege applied; and, second, that the government could not have obtained the computers directly from Epstein if they had remained in his custody." Epstein has failed to show either. 1"The Fifth Circuit described Fisher's holding as follows: "preexisting documents transferred to an attorney are protected by the attorney-client privilege only if two conditions are -16- EFTA00179115 1. Epstein has not shown that the transfer of the computers to Riley was done in confidence. "The burden of proving that a communication falls under the attorney-client privilege rests on the proponent of the privilege." Hawkins v. Stables, 148 F.3d 379, 383 (4th Cir. 1998) (citation omitted). The party invoking the attorney-client privilege has the burden of proving that an attorney-client relationship existed and that the particular communications were confidential. In order to show that communications made to an attorney are within the privilege, it must be shown that "the communication was made to him confidentially, in his professional capacity, for the purpose of securing legal advice or assistance. United States v. Sehaltenbrand, 930 F.2d 1554, 1562 (11th Cir. 1991) (citations omitted). See also XYZ Corp. v. United States, 348 F.3d 16, 22 (1st Cir. 2003) ("The privilege protects only those communications that are confidential and are made for the purpose of seeking or receiving legal advice.") (citations omitted). The attorney-client privilege protects only communications between attorney" and client for the purpose of seeking legal advice. The "mere fact that an attorney [or in this case, his alleged agent] is present at a meeting or is copied on a document does not in and of itself afford privilege protection to such a meeting or document. [And,] the mere fact that one is an attorney does not render everything he does for or with the client privileged." Gutter v. El. DuPont de Nernours and met. First, the usual common-law prerequisites for the privilege must be satisfied: the information in the documents must be confidential and the transfer must have been made to obtain legal advice. Second, the documents must have been privileged from production in the client's hands, either at common law or under the fifth amendment." Davis, 636 F.2d at 1040. "For purposes of this discussion, the United States assumes that Riley, a private investigator, and his firm were working as agents of Attorney Black. The billing documents subpoenaed by the United States would assist the United States in evaluating that claim, but Epstein has objected to the production of those documents. -17- EFTA00179116 Co., 1998 WL 2017926, *1 (S.D. Fl. May 18, 1998) (citations omitted). If an attorney (or his agent) was doing something other than rendering legal advice, neither the attorney-client nor work product privilege applies. Id. In this case, Epstein has not carried his burden of proving the application of the privilege to the computers. In particular, Epstein has not showed that the "communication" was confidential. Even if Riley could stand in the shoes of Attorney Black, Epstein has not shown that the removal of the computers from Epstein's home was done in confidence. If others wer present, there was an implied waiver of the privilege. See, e.g., XYZ Corp., 348 F.3d at 23 ("The privilege evaporates the moment that confidentiality ceases to exist. With isthmian exceptions not pertinent here, the presence of third parties is sufficient to undermine the needed confidentiality.") (citation omitted); Liggett Group Inc., v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., 116 F.R.D. 205, 210 (M.D.N.C. 1986) (citations omitted) ("For communications between an attorney and client . . . to be privileged, they must be confidential. Ordinarily, the presence of a third party destroys the element of confidentiality and, therefore, any claim of privilege."). 2. Epstein has failed to establish that the pre-existing documents were a privileged "communication" for purposes of seeking legal advice. In asserting that the contents of the computers are covered by the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine, Epstein attempts to stretch the privileges beyond their limits. There has been no assertion that the computers themselves were communications or that the computers contain attorney-client communications, nor were the computers or their contents produced in anticipation of litigation. In Upjohn v. United States, 449 U.S. 383 (1981), the Supreme Court made clear that an -18- EFTA00179117 attorney cannot create a "zone of silence" over factual matters. The Court wrote: the attorney-client "privilege only protects disclosure of communications; it does not protect disclosure of the underlying facts by those who communicated with the attorney." Id. at 395. The client cannot be compelled to answer the question, "What did you say or write to the attorney?" but may not refuse to disclose any relevant fact within his knowledge merely because he incorporated a statement of such fact into his communication to his attorney. . . . [T]he courts have noted that a party cannot conceal a fact merely be revealing it to his lawyer. Id. at 396 (internal citations and quotations omitted). Likewise, despite a claim of attorney work product, "[w]here relevant and nonprivileged facts remain hidden in an attorney's file and where production of those facts is essential to that preparation of one's case, discovery may properly be had." Hickman v. Taylor, 329 U.S. 495, 511 (1947). Furthermore, the "work product rule protects work done by an attorney in anticipation of, or during, litigation," In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 274 F.3d at 574, not physical objects, like the computers, or the pre-existing records contained therein, which were created by Epstein or third parties, not attorneys. Cf In re Grand Jury Matter No. 91-01386, 969 F.2d 995 (11th Cir. 1992) (holding that the attorney-client privilege did not bar the disclosure of the names of clients who paid their attorneys with counterfeit bills because "[d]isclosure of the clients' identities will link them with only the payment of a counterfeit one hundred dollar bill, which is not a communication at all. . . . To apply the privilege under these facts would be an affront to that very system, as it would effectively insulate discoverable acts merely because they were enacted in the presence of an attorney.") (emphasis added). Just a month ago, the Second Circuit addressed this issue when a defendant tried to disqualify prosecutors who had seen four documents that the defense alleged were privileged. -19- EFTA00179118 United States v. Walker, 2007 WL 1743273 (2d Cir. Jun. 18, 2007). The court wrote: Even assuming the documents (or the handful of corrections and clarifications handwritten thereon) were work product or were privileged, they contain solely factual information about [a] business, and shed no light on [defendant's] confidential communications with counsel or defense strategy. Moreover, we agree with the district court that these documents were neither work product nor attorney- client communications. The attorney-client privilege protects from disclosure the contents of confidential attorney-client communications, but does not prevent disclosure from the client's records the underlying factual information included in attorney-client communications. See Upjohn Co. v. United States, 449 U.S. 383, 395 (1981). For this reason, putting otherwise non-privileged business records ... in the hands of an attorney—or printing out such records for an attorney to review—does not render the documents privileged or work product. See Ratliff v. Davis Polk & Wardwell, 354 F.3d 165, 170-71 (2d Cir. 2003) ("Documents obtain no special protection because they are housed in a law firm; any other rule would permit a person to prevent disclosure of any of his papers by the simple expedient of keeping them in the possession of his attorney.") In re Grand Jury Subpoenas, 318 F.3d 379, 384 (2d Cir. 2003) (stating that the work product doctrine generally does not shield from discovery materials in an attorney's possession that were prepared neither by the attorney nor his agents). Moreover, the "selection and compilation of . . . documents by counsel transforms that material into attorney work product" only if there is "a real, rather than speculative, concern that counsel's thought processes in relation to pending or anticipated litigation will be exposed through disclosure of the compiled documents." In re Grand Jury Subpoenas, 318 F.3d at 386. Id. at *2 (some internal citations and quotations omitted). Here, like in Walker, Epstein's counsel contends that the computers-which contain only pre- existing documents-are privileged and that counsel's decision to have his investigator remove those computers from Epstein's home is the "selection and compilation of documents" that would disclose his "thought processes." These arguments fail for the same reasons. First, the computers and their contents are not "communications," they are pre-existing documents and, as in Ratlifir, putting them into the hands of an attorney (or his investigator) does not convert them into "privileged" communications. Second, the removal of the three computers from Epstein's home is not the "selection and compilation of documents by counsel." As Epstein himself argues, each computer -20- EFTA00179119 can hold literally thousands of documents. Removing all of the file cabinets in an entire home is not the strategic "selection and compilation" of documents, it is simply the wholesale removal of potentially incriminating evidence. Taking Epstein's argument to its logical conclusion, sending an investigator to a client's home to remove a murder weapon would make that physical item privileged or "work product" because its removal shows the attorney's "thought process" that the murder weapon would incriminate his client!' CI In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 204 F.3d 516, 523 (4th Cir. "Although unpublished, the case of United States v. Hunter, 1995 WL 12513 (N.D. III. Jan. 6, 1995), contains facts similar to the ones at bar and gives a detailed analysis of the applicability of the attorney-client privilege to physical items. In Hunter, a defendant, subsequent to his arrest, informed his attorney of the existence of currency and ammunition in his home. The attorney went to his client's home; opened two boxes that contained $30,000 to $50,000; and removed them from the home. The boxes were thereafter kept in the attorney's custody or control. The attorney later revealed the existence of and whereabouts of the boxes and a search warrant was obtained and executed. The defendant moved to bar the introduction of the boxes of cash against him at trial, asserting the attorney-client and work product privileges. The district court began its analysis by noting that "the boxes themselves do not fall within the protection of the attorney-client privilege, since their existence is a fact and not a 'communication.'" Id. at *2 (citing Upjohn, 449 U.S. at 391). The District Court noted that if the boxes had never been removed from the home and the government had learned of their existence only through the use of a protected communication, then the defendant may have had an argument against their admission. Id. However, "these are not the facts of this case. Here, defendants' attorneys removed the evidence from [the defendant's] house, thereby preventing police from recovering the boxes at a later date. At this point, [the attorneys] may have violated their ethical obligation not to 'unlawfully obstruct another party's access to evidence.' Indeed, it is this alteration of criminal evidence that forecloses [the defendant's] attorney-client privilege argument . . ." Id. The district court addressed the cases of Clutchette v. Rushen, 770 F.2d 1469 (9th Cir. 1985), and People v. Meredith, 631 P.2d 46 (Cal. 1981). In Clutchette, the defendant's attorney had sent an investigator to collect incriminating evidence from a shopkeeper, and the trial court had allowed that evidence to be admitted at trial over the defendant's assertion of the attorney-client privilege. The Ninth Circuit wrote that once the attorney made the strategic choice to take possession of the evidence—a step which was not necessary to evaluate the significance of the [evidence] for the defendant's case—he was legally and ethically obligated to turn it over to the prosecution. Therefore, introduction of the evidence did not implicate the privilege. Hunter at *2 (citing Clutchette at 1472). In Meredith, a murder suspect informed his attorney that the murder victim's wallet was in the garbage can behind the suspect's house and the attorney sent a private investigator to retrieve -21- EFTA00179120 2000) ("The attorney-client privilege is not intended to permit an attorney to conduct his client's business affairs in secret. . . . A client may not `buy' a privilege by retaining an attorney to do something that a non-lawyer could do just as well.") (internal quotations omitted)). 3. Even if the transfer fo the computers was a privileged communication, Epstein cannot show that the computers were privileged in his hands. Even if the Court finds that the transfer of the computers to Riley was covered by the attorney-client privilege, "documents created outside the attorney-client relationship should not be held privileged in the hands of the attorney unless otherwise privileged in the hands of the client, it. After reviewing the wallet, the attorney gave it to law enforcement. The prosecution then introduced the wallet at trial, as well as testimony from the investigator that he recovered the wallet from behind the defendant's home over the defendant's assertion of the attorney-client privilege. The California Supreme Court held that the introduction of the wallet and the investigator's testimony was proper because "whenever defense counsel removes or alters evidence, the [attorney- client] privilege does not bar revelation of the original location or conduction of the evidence in question." Hunter at *3 (quoting Meredith at 54). While the investigator could not testify about the substance of any communications with the attorney, he had to tell the jury where the wallet was found. The California Supreme Court stated that, to hold otherwise, "permits the defense in effect to 'destroy' critical information; it is as if . . . the wallet in this case bore a tag bearing the words 'located in the trash can by [defendant's] residence,' and the defense, by taking the wallet, destroyed this tag." Hunter at n.5 (quoting Meredith at 53). It should be noted that removal of the computers was not necessary to the ability of Epstein's counsel to evaluate their significance; copies of the hard drives could have been made. Of course, unlike counsel in Clutchette and Meredith, Epstein's counsel never provided the evidence to law enforcement and, instead, tries to aver that the items may not exist. If that is so, then not only did the investigator working for Epstein's counsel remove the evidence, he also destroyed it. Lastly, the defendant asserted that defense counsel's search of the defendant's home "was part of the preparation of the defense case, and therefore 'the basis for conducting such an investigation is attorney-work product because it reflects the thought processes and strategies, if not actual privileged communications.'" Hunter at *4. The district court rejected this argument: "[t]aking possession of the boxes did not somehow transform them into 'materials prepared in anticipation of litigation,' which would subsequently be undiscoverable." Id. Epstein makes the identical arguments and those arguments should be rejected for the same reasons. -22- EFTA00179121 lest the client immunize incriminating evidence merely by depositing it with his attorney." Davis, 636 F.2d at 1041. Thus, the Court must determine whether Epstein has shown that he would have had a Fifth Amendment privilege against producing the computers if they had remained in his custody. The computers are not testimonial communications, so Epstein would not. The computers themselves are not protected by the Fifth Amendment because they are physical evidence—they are not testimonial. "[T]he distinction to be drawn under the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is one between an accused's 'communications,' in whatever form, vocal or physical, [which violates the privilege], and 'compulsion which makes a suspect or accused the source of 'real or physical evidence' [which does not].'" United States v. Wade, 388 U.S. 218, 223 (1967) (quoting Schmerber v. State of California, 384 U.S. 757, 764 (1966)). And the contents of the computers are not protected because the creation of the contents was not compelled, instead, the contents were voluntarily created by the persons who used them.15 See, e.g., United States v. Doe, 465 U.S. 605, 612 (1984); In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 393 F.3d 905, 909 (9th Cir. 2004); In re Foster, 188 F.3d 1259, 1269 (10th Cir. 1999). This reasoning applies even when the documents or information are classified as "personal papers" rather than business documents. See United States v. Feldman, 83 F.3d 9, 14 (1st Cir. 1996) (defendant's letters of apology not protected because voluntarily prepared); In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecutn, 1 F.3d 87, 90 (2d Cir. 1993) (defendant's personal calendar not protected because voluntarily prepared); Barrett v. Acevedo, 169 F.3d 1155, 1168 (8th Cir. 1999) (defendant's journal not protected because voluntarily written); United States v. Wuykowski, 929 F.2d 981, 983 (4th Cir. "It should be noted that Epstein has failed to allege that he is the person who prepared the contents of the computers. As stated above, one of the computers was removed from an area used by not Epstein. -23- EFTA00179122 1991) (Fifth Amendment does not protect the contents of voluntarily prepared documents, whether business or personal); United States v. Hubbell, 167 F.3d 552, 567 (D.C. Cir. 1999) (same), aff'd on other grounds, 530 U.S. 27 (2000); In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 759 F.2d 1418, 1419 (9th Cir. 1985) (same). At the very end of his motion, Epstein urges the Court to resurrect United States v. Boyd, arguing that the subpoena seeks "purely private papers," and that a subpoena demanding those papers violates Epstein's Fifth Amendment rights, pursuant to Boyd,116 U.S. 616 (1886). Epstein's counsel correctly notes that Boyd's analysis has been severely limited, but asserts that the "purely private paper" doctrine is still alive and applies to the contents of Epstein's computers. Boyd's statement that "purely private papers" cannot be obtained through compulsory process from a target/defendant has been eroded to the point where it no longer has any force or effect. The Supreme Court has written, as early as 1976, that "the continued validity of the broad statements contained in some of the Court's earlier cases [referring to Boyd], have been discredited by later opinions." Andresen v. Maryland, 427 U.S. 463, 472 (1976). In 1984, Justice O'Connor wrote a concurring opinion in United States v. Doe, 465 U.S. 605 (1984), just to make explicit what is implicit in the analysis of that opinion; that the Fifth Amendment provides absolutely no protection for the contents of private papers of any kind. The notion that the Fifth Amendment protects the privacy of papers originated in Boyd v. United States, . . . but our decision in Fisher v. United States, . . . sounded the death knell for Boyd. Several of Boyd's express or implicit declarations [had] not stood the test of time, ... and its privacy of papers concept had long been a rule searching for a rationale . . . Today's decision puts a long overdue end to that fruitless search. Id. at 618 (internal citations and quotations omitted). The full Court wrote that it is well-settled that "if the party asserting the Fifth Amendment privilege has voluntarily compiled [a] document, no compulsion in present and the contents of the document are not privileged." Id. at 612 n.10. See -24- EFTA00179123 also United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 35-36 (2000) (It is a "settled proposition that a person may be required to produce specific documents even though they contain incriminating assertions of fact or belief because the creation of those documents was not `compelled' within the meaning of the privilege. . . [Where] papers had been voluntarily prepared prior to the issuance of the summonses, they could not be 'said to contain compelled testimonial evidence, either of the [target] or of anyone else.' Accordingly, the [target] could not 'avoid compliance with the subpoena merely by asserting that the item of evidence which he is required to produce contains incriminating writing, whether his own or that of someone else. It is clear, therefore, that respondent Hubbell could not avoid compliance with the subpoena served on him merely because the demanded documents contained incriminating evidence, whether written by others or voluntarily prepared by himself.") (quoting Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391, 409-10 (1976); and citing United States v. Doe, 465 U.S. 605 (1984)); In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Teem, 1 F.3d 87, 90 (2d Cir. 1993) ("While we have previously left undecided the question of whether the Fifth Amendment protects the contents of private papers that are not business documents, we now rule that it does not." (internal citation and quotations omitted)); United States v. Wujkowski, 929 F.2d 981 (4th Cir. 1991); In re Sealed Case, 877 F.2d 83, 84 (D.C. Cir. 1989) (Fifth Amendment privilege "does not cover the contents of any voluntarily prepared records, including personal ones"); In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 759 F.2d 1418, 1419 (9th Cir. 1985); United States v. Bedell & Co., 2006 WL 3813792, *1 (E.D.N.Y Oct. 30, 2006) ("It is well settled that the Fifth Amendment 'does not protect the contents of voluntarily prepared documents, whether business or personal."' (quoting In re Hyde, -25- EFTA00179124 235 B.R. 539, 543 (S.D.N.Y. 1999) (emphasis in Bede11)).16 Even if the Boyd analysis was still good law, it would only apply to Epstein's private papers. There has been no showing by Epstein that all of the documents contained on the three computers were his private papers. As set forth in the Declaration, one of the computers was in an area that appears to be the office of and another was in the pool cabana. 4. The act of production doctrine would not have protected Epstein from producing the computers if they had remained in his custody. Even if Epstein could successfully show that the transfer of the computers to Riley were covered by the attorney-client privilege, such that Riley could assert the act of production privilege on behalf of Epstein, the production of the computers would not tend to incriminate Epstein. Under the act of production doctrine, even if documents responsive to a subpoena are not themselves covered by the Fifth Amendment, "the act of production itself may implicitly communicate statements of fact. By producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic." United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36 (2000) (internal quotations and extensive citations 'Epstein's Fourth Amendment claim also fails under the post-Boyd case law. Andresen v. Maryland, supra, addressed a claim of a Fourth Amendment violation when a search warrant authorized the seizure of papers that the defendant asserted were "personal." The Andresen Court rejected the claim, announcing the "general rule: `There is no special sanctity in papers, as distinguished from other forms of property, to render them immune from search and seizure, if only they fall within the scope of the principles of the cases in which other property may be seized, and if they be adequately described in the affidavit and warrant."' Andresen, 427 U.S. at 474 (quoting Graded v. United States, 255 U.S. 298, 309 (1921)). it should be noted that a search warrant for Epstein's house was obtained, which included the authority to seize the computers that are the this motion, but Epstein had already removed the computers from the home. (See Declaration.) -26- EFTA00179125 omitted). However, the act of production privilege applies only if the production would be "testimonial" and "incriminating." Butcher v. Bailey, 753 F.2d 465, 469 (6th Cir 1985) (citing United States v. Doe, 465 U.S. 605, 612-13 (1984)). Production of documents may be testimonial in any of three ways: by acknowledging that the documents exist; by acknowledging that they are in control of the person producing them; or by acknowledging that the person producing them believes they are the documents requested and thereby authenticating them for purposes of Fed. R. Evid. 901. . . . Production of documents is not considered testimonial if each of these consideration is a "foregone conclusion." Id. (citing Doe, 465 U.S. at 613, n.11, n.13). Accordingly, where the government already knows about the existence of the documents, their whereabouts, and has an independent basis for authentication, a party can be compelled to produce the documents. See, e.g., Hubbell at 44-45; see also In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum, I F.3d 87, 93 (2d Cir. 1993) ("Production may not be refused if the government can demonstrate with reasonable particularity that it knows of the existence and location of subpoenaed documents.") (citation omitted). In this case, as set forth in the Affidavit and the two Ex Parte Affidavits, the government already knows that: (1) the computers exist; (2) they are in the custody or control of Riley; and (3) there is an independent basis to authenticate them. Thus, Riley's "compliance with the subpoena would require mere 'surrender' of the [computers]," not a "testimonial communication" for purposes of Doe, and, thus, the subpoenas are enforceable (regardless of the computers' contents). Id. at 93-94 (citation omitted)." "As explained in the Ex Parte Affidavits, the United States has established that it can authenticate the computers without Riley's testimony. Even if it could not, however, that is not a basis for refusing to produce the items. In United States v. Koubriti, 297 F. Supp. 2d 955, 969-70 (E.D. Mich. 2004), the court ordered the production of the defendant's handwritten notes that were in the possession of defense counsel where the United States knew of the existence and location of the notes. -27- EFTA00179126 Even if the act of production were testimonial for purposes ofDoe, production can be refused only if the act of production also is incriminating. Butcher, 753 F.2d at 469-70. In other words, the act of authentication is incriminating only if the documents are incriminating. As explained above, Epstein has failed to make the slightest showing that the computers' contents are incriminating. Where a party fails to provide "sufficient facts to state with reasonable certainty that the privilege applies, the burden is not met." United States v. Blackburn, 538 F. Supp. 1376, 1382 (M.D. Fl. 1982) (citing Federal Trade Commission v. TRW, Inc., 628 F.2d 207, 213 (D.C. Cir. 1980); In re Katz, 623 F.2d 122, 125 (2d Cir. 1980); United States v. Landof, 591 F.2d 36, 38 (9th Cir. 1978); In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 73 F.R.D. 647, 651 (M.D. Fl. 1977)). In Blackburn, the Middle District of Florida applied the act of production privilege under the premise that Boyd was still binding precedent. Even applying Boyd, the court found that the vicarious assertion of act of production immunity via the attorney-client privilege required a showing that the subpoenaed documents were transferred by the target for purposes of obtaining legal advice and that the documents were exclusively prepared by the target or under the target's immediate supervision and that they were confidential. When the target failed to provide adequate evidence of any one of these elements, the court held that the documents were not privileged. Epstein has made none of these showings. Thus, because Riley's compliance with the subpoenas' demand for the production of the computers would not be testimonial and neither Riley nor Epstein has shown that the computers' contents incriminate either of them, the Court should enforce the subpoenas. -28- EFTA00179127 V. THE ITEMS SOUGHT IN REQUEST NUMBER THREE ARE NOT COVERED BY THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE OR THE WORK PRODUCT DOCTRINE. The third request contained in the subpoenas to Riley and Riley Kiraly seeks: 3. All documents and information related to the nature of the relationship between Mr. William Riley and/or Riley Kiraly and Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, including, but not limited to, retainer agreements; employment agreements; billing statements (whether submitted directly to Mr. Epstein or to a third party for reimbursement); records of the dates when services were performed and the hours worked; telephone logs or records of dates of communications with Mr. Epstein (or with a third party on Mr. Epstein's behalf); appointment calendars/datebooks and the like (whether in hard copy or electronic form) for any period when work was performed on behalf of Mr. Epstein or when any communication was had with Mr. Epstein (or with a third party on Mr. Epstein's behalf); and records of fee arrangements and payments received for work performed on Mr. Epstein's behalf." Although not clear from Epstein's motion, he does not appear to assert the act-of-production privilege as to the billing records, nor could he, since: (I ) he did not create or possess the documents and, therefore, could not authenticate them; and (2) since the Affidavit filed by Epstein's counsel admits that William Riley and Riley Kiraly were hired to assist Epstein's defense, the existence of the documents is not contested. Instead, Epstein makes a blanket assertion that all of the billing records are either work product or attorney-client communications that need not be produced. This assertion fails both procedurally and legally. A. Epstein's Claim of Privilege Is Waived by His Failure to Carry His Burden of Proving Its Applicability. Procedurally, the person asserting the privilege bears the burden of establishing its applicability. See, e.g., United States v. Schaltenbrand, 930 F.2d 1554 (11th Cir. 1991); United '8For purposes of this discussion, the requested documents will be jointly referred to as "billing records." -29- EFTA00179128 States v. Mutioz, 233 F.3d 1117 (9th Cir. 2000); Hawkins v. Stables, 148 F.3d 379 (4th Cir. 1998); Motley v. Marathon Oil Co., 71 F.3d 1547 (10th Cir. 1995); Christman v. Brauvin Realty AdvisorS, Inc., 185 F.R.D. 251 (N.D. III. 1999). In making that showing, blanket assertions of the privilege are not proper—the assertion must be made on a question-by-question and document-by-document basis. See, e.g., Nguyen v. Excel Corp., 197 F.3d 200 (5th Cir. 1999); Clarke v. American Commerce Nat. Bank, 974 F.2d 127 (9th Cir. 1992); United States v. White, 950 F.2d 426, 430 (7th Cir. 1991). As explained above, a party's failure to provide a privilege log or to otherwise substantiate its claims of privilege can act as a waiver of the privilege. That standard should apply here and all of the items in Request Number Three should be ordered produced. B. The Categories of Documents Sought All Fall Outside the Privilege. Legally, each of the categories of documents contained in the third request has been discussed by courts and determined to be outside the privilege. The Eleventh Circuit holds that the "identity of a client and the receipt of attorney's fees normally are not privileged matters." In re Grand Jury Matter No. 91-01386, 969 F.2d 995, 997 (11th Cir. 1992) (citation omitted). In United States v. Legal Servs. for New York City, 249 F.3d 1077 (D.C. Cir. 2001), the D.C. Circuit stated that "[c]ourts have consistently held that the general subject matters of clients' representations are not privileged. Nor does the general purpose of a client's representation necessarily divulge a confidential professional communication, and therefore that data is not generally privileged." Id. at 1081 (citation omitted). See also Nguyen v. Excel Corp., 197 F.3d 200, 206 (5th Cir. 1999) ("the general nature of [an attorney's] services is not protected by the privilege."); In re Horn, 976 F.2d 1314, 1317 (9th Cir. 1992) ("the attorney-client privilege ordinarily protects neither a client's -30- EFTA00179129 identity nor information regarding the fee arrangements reached with that client," including the amount paid for legal services and the form of payment) (citation omitted); Clarke v. American Commerce Nat'! Bank, 974 F.2d 127, 129 (9th Cir. 1992) ("the identity of the client, the amount of the fee, the identification of payment by case file name, and the general purpose of the work performed are usually not protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege") (citations omitted); In re Grand Jury Proceedings in Matter ofFine, 641 F.2d 199, 204 (5th Cir. 1981) (same); O'Neal v. United States, 258 F.3d 1265 (11th Cir. 2001) (information regarding the receipt of attorney's fees is not protected). In Matter of Grand Jury Proceeding, 68 F.3d 193 (7th Cir. 1995), the Seventh Circuit discussed specific questions asked of an attorney during his testimony before the grand jury. There, unlike here, the attorney properly appeared to testify and then asserted a claim of privilege in response to particular questions. The Seventh Circuit found that the following questions did not call for privileged communications: (1) Whom did you direct [in the search of documents responsive to the subpoena)? (2) From whom did you get [the documents you produced in response to the subpoena)? (3) Did [the person who supplied the documents to you] understand they were given in response to a subpoena? (Brackets in original.) (4) Did that person understand you were to forward them to the Grand Jury in response to a subpoena? (5) Did you tell your client . . . you were going to convey them to the government pursuant to Grand Jury subpoena? -31- EFTA00179130 Id. at 194-95, 196. In reaching its decision, the Seventh Circuit relied on In re Feldberg, 862 F.2d 622 (7th Cir. 1988). In Feldberg, an attorney was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury after the grand jury suspected obstruction of justice based upon the delayed disclosure of certain documents. The attorney appeared but asserted the attorney-client privilege in response to several questions. The Feldberg court determined that the following questions did not call for privileged information: (1) Did you direct someone else to [conduct a search of the files for purposes of gathering the information responsive to this subpoena]? (4) Did you have a conversation with anyone affiliated with World Sports Entertainment in which you told them that you were going to [contact the U.S. Attorney's Office and say you represented World Sports and would handle compliance with the subpoena]? (6) Did you tell [the president of World Sports and an associate] that you were going to convey these contracts to the Government, with the representation that they were all contracts called for by the subpoena? (7) [D] id you direct anyone to produce such a list [of contracts] for disclosure to the Government? (8) Did you have a conversation in which you asked someone to give those [51 contracts] to you for disclosure to the Government? Fine, 68 F.3d at 196 (quoting Feldberg, 862 F.2d at 624) (brackets in original). In both instances, the Seventh Circuit held that questions that "deal with whether the attorney 'directed someone to search the files; if so, who and how' were not privileged. Fine at 196 (quoting Feldman at 628). -32- EFTA00179131 Questions that "involve whether the client or the person collecting the documents knew they were acting pursuant to a subpoena" likewise did not violate the privilege. Id. While these cases address testimonial questions, the information that they seek to elicit is similar to the information contained in some of the documents subpoenaed from Riley, including, for example, billing statements, records of dates of services performed and dates of communications with Epstein. Other cases have held that the scope or objective of an attorney's employment is not protected, In re Grand Jury Proceedings-Gordon, 722 F.2d 303 (6th Cir. 1983), nor are telephone records and appointment calendars of the attorney. McArthur v. Robinson, 98 F.R.D. 672 (E.D. Ark. 1983). Thus, the dates on which the client first contacted his attorney, the dates on which services were rendered, and the dates that the client communicated with his attorney are not privileged. Condon v. Petaque, 90 F.R.D. 53 (N.D. III. 1981). See also Matter of Walsh, 623 F.2d 489 (7th Cir. 1980) (ledgers, bills, time records, and retainer agreements in the possession of the attorney not privileged); Coalition to Save Our Children v. State Bd. of Educ., 143 F.R.D. 61 (D. Del. 1992) (time sheets and billing records not privileged). One of Epstein's other attorneys, Gerald Lefcourt, is certainly aware that a client's identity, his payment of fees, and the method and amount of payment are not privileged, even when the information would incriminate the client "in the very case in which the Firm was engaged to provide criminal defense representation." Gerald B. Lefcourt, P.C. v. United States, 125 F.3d 79, 87 (2d Cir. 1997). In that case, Attorney Lefcourt refused to identify in an IRS reporting form a client who paid him more than $10,000 cash, and Lefcourt was fined $25,000. Lefcourt sought to avoid the fine, claiming that he had an objectively reasonable belief that the information was privileged. The Second Circuit determined that he did not, noting its series of cases holding that the attorney-client -33- EFTA00179132 privilege did not bar the disclosure of fee information, even where that information could incriminate the client. Id. Epstein's attempt to assert similar arguments here should also fail. VI. EPSTEIN DOES NOT HAVE ANY SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE GRAND JURY'S INVESTIGATION. Epstein spends several pages arguing that the grand jury subpoenas violate his Sixth Amendment right to counsel and to the effective assistance of counsel. Yet Epstein has no rights under the Sixth Amendment in connection with this investigation. The right to effective assistance of counsel does not attach until adversary judicial proceedings have been initiated against a defendant. Kirby v. Illinois, 406 U.S. 682 (1972). For this reason, the Sixth Amendment does not apply to a grand jury investigation, and a demand for information related to the attorney-client relationship prior to that time does not violate the client's right to counsel or interfere with his future right to counsel. In re Special September 1978 Grand Jury (IV, 640 F.2d 49, 64 (7th Cir. 1980); Tornay v. United States, 840 F.2d 1424 (9th Cir. 1988). Adversary judicial proceedings have yet to begin in the federal system and also had not begun in the state system at the time the computers were removed; thus, the Sixth Amendment is not implicated. Epstein tries to avoid this conclusion by dropping a footnote asserting that, pursuant to Texas v. Cobb, 532 U.S. 162 (2001), his Sixth Amendment rights attached at the time he was charged in the state system. This misstates Cobb and its progeny which hold that a defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel is charge-specific, and that Sixth Amendment rights in connection with prosecution by one sovereign do not carry over to prosecution by another sovereign. In Cobb, the Supreme Court clarified its holding in McNeil v. Wisconsin, 501 U.S. 171 (1991) that the "Sixth Amendment right to counsel is offense specific. It cannot be invoked once for all future prosecutions." Id. at 167 (quoting McNeil at 175). The Cobb Court noted that some -34- EFTA00179133 other courts: have read into McNeil's offense-specific definition an exception for crimes that are 'factually related' to a charged offense. Several of these courts have interpreted Brewer v. Williams, 430 U.S. 387 (1977) and Maine v. Moulton, 474 U.S. 159 —both of which were decided well before McNeil — to support this view, which respondent now invites us to approve. We decline to do so. Cobb at 168 (emphasis added). Instead, the Cobb Court made clear that the Sixth Amendment right is truly offense-specific, meaning limited to the same offense for purposes of the Double Jeopardy Clause. Id. at 172-173 ("We see no constitutional difference between the meaning of the term 'offense' in the contexts of double jeopardy and of the right to counsel. Accordingly, we hold that when the Sixth Amendment right to counsel attaches, it does encompass offenses that, even if not formally charged, would be considered the same offense under the Blockburger test.") The Supreme Court also noted that "offense-specific" is synonymous with "prosecution specific." Id. at n.3.1' The Supreme Court chose to clearly delineate the scope of those interrogations subject to suppression because: it is critical to recognize that the Constitution does not negate society's interest in the ability of police to talk to witnesses and suspects, even those who have been charged with other offenses. "Since the ready ability to obtain uncoerced confessions is not an evil but an unmitigated good, society would be the loser. Admissions of guilt resulting from valid Miranda waivers are more than merely desirable" they are essential to society's compelling interest in finding, convicting, and punishing those who violate the law. Id. at 172-73 (quoting McNeil, 501 U.S. at 181). Two Courts of Appeals have addressed Cobb in the context of persons charged by state "In Cobb, the Court went on to decide that Texas police officers did not violate Cobb's Sixth Amendment rights when they questioned him regarding murders that occurred during a burglary even though the defendant was already represented in connection with the pending burglary charge. -35- EFTA00179134 prosecutors who are later interrogated by federal agents. In those cases, the courts have found that, so long as the state charge and the federal charge contain different elements under the Blockburger test, there is no Sixth Amendment violation, even if the charges arise from the same act. See United States v. Avants, 278 F.3d 510, 512-13 (5th Cir. 2002) ("[T]he federal and state murder prosecutions in this case, although identical in their respective elements, are separate offenses for purposes of the Sixth Amendment because they were violations of the laws of two separate sovereigns—specifically the State of Mississippi and the United States. Therefore, because the Sixth Amendment is offense- specific, Avants's statements during the 1967 interview, when he was represented by counsel only in the state proceeding, are not barred in this federal proceeding."); United States v. Coker, 433 F.3d 39 (1st Cir. 2005) (same). See alio United States v. Lall, F. Supp. 2d , 2007 WL 1521487, *7 (M.D. Fl. May 23, 2007) ("Lall's state and her federal charges, although pertaining to the same criminal episode, are separate offenses for Sixth Amendment purposes. The reason is that each prosecution involves separate sovereigns."); United States v. McCloud, F. Supp. 2d , 2007 WL 1706353 (S.D. Ga. June 11, 2007) (same). Even if Epstein could assert a Sixth Amendment violation based upon the issuance of the subpoenas, his assertion that the subpoenas should be quashed because "his entire attorney-client relationship would be endangered [fails,) for it is confidential communications that are protected, not the relationship as a whole. McKay v. C.I.R., 886 F.2d 1237 (9th Cir. 1989). VII. THE SUBPOENAS ARE NOT OPPRESSIVE, OVERBROAD, AND UNPARTICULARIZED. Epstein also asserts that the subpoenas seeking the computer equipment are unreasonable because they are oppressive, overbroad, and unparticularized. Epstein has failed to cite any legal authority that allows him to intervene to assert these challenges. "In the absence of a claim of -36- EFTA00179135 privilege, a party usually does not have standing to a subpoena directed to a non-party witness." Langford v. Chyrsler Motors Corp., 513 F.2d 1121, 1126 (2d Cir. 1975). For example, in United States v. Wells, 2006 WL 3203905 (E.D. Mich. Nov. 3, 2006), a party sought to quash a subpoena issued to his bank, objecting that he was "unsure of what information the United States [sought] to gain from [the bank's] records." Id. at *2. The district court denied the motion, noting the party's lack of standing in the absence of the assertion of a privilege. As set forth above, the United States does not object to Epstein's intervention to assert his Fifth Amendment, attorney-client, and work product privileges, but there is no basis for him to intervene to assert that the subpoenas are burdensome when he is not the person who will bear that burden, and the subpoenaed parties have not raised a complaint. If the Court finds that Epstein has standing to assert these challenges, he also bears the burden of establishing his allegation that the subpoenas are oppressive or overbroad. A "grand jury subpoena is presumed reasonable unless its recipient demonstrates otherwise. Fed. R. Crim. P. 17(c) permits judicial oversight only when 'compliance would be unreasonable or oppressive.' Thus the Court held trial courts can not place an initial burden on the government to prove a grand jury subpoena is necessary and relevant." In re Impounded, 241 F.3d 308, 314 (3d Cir. 2001) (quoting R. Enter., supra, 498 U.S. at 298-99). See also Blair v. United States, 250 U.S. 273, 282 (1919) (a grand jury witness cannot refuse to respond to a subpoena on the grounds that the information sought by the grand jury is not relevant to its investigation). The burden of showing unreasonableness rests with the person seeking to avoid compliance. R. Enterprises, 498 U.S. at 301. The Supreme Court has noted the grand jury's broad powers to issue subpoenas: "the grand -37- EFTA00179136 jury's authority to subpoena witnesses is not only historic . . . but essential to its task. . . . The "longstanding principle that 'the public . . has a right to every man's evidence,' except for those persons protected by a constitutional, common-law or statutory privilege, . . . is particularly applicable to grand jury proceedings." Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665, 688 (1972) (citations omitted). In R. Enterprises, the Supreme Court held that subpoenas cannot be quashed on the basis of irrelevance if there is a reasonable possibility that the materials sought by the government will produce information relevant to the grand jury investigation. R. Enter., 498 U.S. at 300. Despite these broad powers, Epstein objects to the subpoenas that specifically call for and describe three computers, arguing that they are "unparticularized" and "oppressive." A grand July subpoena must be reasonable, and, in making that determination, "what is reasonable depends on the context." New Jersey v. T.L.O., 469 U.S. 325, 337 (1985). Likewise, whether a subpoena is oppressive depends on the context. In re August, 1993 Regular Grand Jury, 854 F. Supp. 1392, 1401 (S.D. Ind. 1993). The context here is the wholesale removal of these computers just days before a court authorized a warrant for their seizure. The context of this investigation is Epstein's sexual exploitation of numerous girls from local high schools; the known existence of surveillance video equipment in the home; computer printouts showing electronic messages for "appointments" with the minors; and printouts showing payments made to girls. In determining the reasonableness of a subpoena, the most important facts are whether the subpoena commands the production of items relevant to the grand July's investigation, the particularity with which the items sought are described, and the burden involved in compliance. See R. Enterprises, 498 U.S. at 300. Since the investigation's subject is secret, Epstein must persuade the Court that the subpoena could serve no legitimate purpose that the grand jury could possibly -38- EFTA00179137 investigate. Id. Epstein has failed to do so. A claim of oppressiveness requires a showing that compliance is excessively difficult. See In re Grand Jury Proceedings, 115 F.3d 1240, 1244 (5th Cir. 1997). Oppression is difficult to establish, even if the cost of compliance is "crippling." In re August, 1993 Regular Grand Jury, 854 F. Supp. at 1402. With respect to the particularity and oppressiveness, the Riley subpoenas specifically describe the items to be produced, and, as written, impose a minimal burden, they simply call for Riley to return the equipment that was removed.2° CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the United States respectfully requests that the Court deny the Motion to Quash filed by Jeffrey Epstein and order the subpoenaed parties, William Riley and Riley Kiraly, to appear and provide testimony and evidence in accordance with the issued subpoenas at the next meeting of the Grand Jury.

In support thereof, the United States states the following: 1. The Declarations contain information relating to an ongoing grand jury investigation; thus, pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(6), all records and orders related to the grand-jury proceedings must be kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of a matter occurring before the grand jury. 2. The Declarations are being filed ex parte because disclosing them to the target would jeopardize the criminal investigation, and undermine the function of the grand jury. 3. As the Supreme Court has held, "[r]equiring the Government to explain in too much detail the particular reasons underlying a subpoena threatens to compromise `the indispensable secrecy of the grand jury proceedings.' United States v. R. Enterprises, Inc., 498 U.S. 292, 299 (1991) (quoting United States v. Johnson, 319 U.S. 503, 513 (1943)). "The need to preserve the secrecy of an ongoing grand jury investigation is of paramount EFTA00179149 importance." In re Grand Jury Proceedings in Matter of Freeman, 708 F.2d 1571, 1576 (11th Cir. 1983) (extensive citations omitted). 4. The issues raised by Intervenor Epstein's Motion to Quash require the United States to provide information obtained through the Grand Jury's investigation. Due to the pendency of the investigation, and the requirements of Grand Jury secrecy, the United States asks that the Court allow the United States to file two Ex Parte declarations, which address the factual issues raised by Intervenor Epstein, without being forced to disclose the status of the grand jury investigation and the matters occurring before the grand jury to Epstein. Pursuant to the Local Rules, the undersigned has conferred with counsel for Intervenor Epstein, who has advised that he opposes the granting of this motion. WHEREFORE, the United States respectfully requests that it be allowed to file two Declarations Ex Parte in support of its Response to the Motion to Quash. Respectfully submitted, R.

No. SURREPLY OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN TO UNITED STATES' SURREPLY TO REPLIES FILED BY WITNESS WILLIAM RILEY AND INTERVENOR JEFFREY EPSTEIN RE: MOTION TO QUASH GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS I. In its Surreply, the government, for the first time, after the parties have filed numerous pleadings directed to the enforceability of the challenged subpoena, announced that it was in fact seeking only physical possession of the computers at issue and that it thereafter intended to obtain a search warrant to search the contents of the computers. This Court should not permit the government to substitute a secret ex parte process for the adversarial litigation process between the parties which has been ongoing. Instead of leaving the government free to rummage at will through the contents of the computers based upon the ex parte issuance of a search warrant, the Court should require the government to particularize the subpoena to identify the documents which it is seeking. The government's doing so would enable movants to provide it with the documents falling within the particularized categories so identified, in the same manner as one responding to a particularized document subpoena would do. The process should be no different because the documents are contained within a computer than it is with respect to hard copy documents in the hands of the subpoenaed party. Black. Srebnick, Komspan & Stum 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131- Phone: • Fax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179176 Contrary to the suggestion of the government, see United States' Surreply at 2, the overbreadth and particularity protections embodied in the Fourth Amendment reasonableness command with respect to subpoenas do not recognize an exception which permits the government to utilize an unlimited, overbroad, and unparticularized grand jury subpoena to obtain custody of a container which it wishes thereafter to search pursuant to a warrant. The particularity and overbreadth arguments which have been advanced by Epstein cannot be mooted by the government's now contending that the purpose of the subpoena is only the seizure of the computers and not their search. The commands of the Fourth Amendment and Rule 17 remain the same: the subpoenaed items must be relevant to the grand jury's investigation, and the items sought must be particularized in the subpoena. Just as the government could not simply serve a subpoena on a business directing that it produce all its file cabinets to the grand jury, neither can it use a grand jury subpoena to compel a citizen to turn over the entire contents of his computers to the grand jury. As has been stressed in prior pleadings directed to this issue, computers contain vast realms of personal documents, information, and data which are simply none of the government's business and should not be exposed to its inspection absent a particularized description of the categories of documents and other information which the government believes relevant to the grand jury's investigation.' The court in In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum Dated November 15, 1993, 846 F.Supp. 11 (S.D.N.Y. 1994), was confronted with a similar issue in the context of a grand jury subpoena for the production of all hard drives of computers supplied by X Corporation to certain officers and employees, as well as all computer-accessible data, including all floppy disks, created by the specified officers or employees or their assistants. The Court, drawing upon the See Motion of Jeffrey Epstein to Intervene and to Quash Grand Jury Subpoenas and Incorporated Memorandum of Law at 19-26. 2 Black. Srebnick. Komspan & Stum 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131. Phone: • Fax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179177 Second Circuit's narrowing of a subpoena demanding the production of the entire contents of three file cabinets to exclude categories of documents with no conceivable relevance to any legitimate object of investigation in In re Horowitz, 482 F.2d 72, 79-80 (2d Cir. 1973),2 concluded that the subpoena should be interpreted as seeking categories of documents, not categories of computers, and that it was the former category — the documents sought by the government — which was required to be particularly described. 846 F.Supp. at 13. The Court held that, because there were ways in which the government could have narrowed the subpoena to relevant documents, such as documents containing certain key words, the subpoena at issue unnecessarily demanded documents irrelevant to the grand jury inquiry and was, therefore, unreasonably broad under Rule 17. Because the government opposed modification of the subpoena, the Court quashed the subpoena in its entirety, without prejudice to the grand jury's ability to issue a properly narrowed subpoena. Id. at 13-14. See also In re Amato, 2005 WL 1429743 at *11-1'12 (D.Me. June 17, 2005)(granting motion to quash with respect to paragraph of subpoena requesting production of all computers and computer related equipment: "Inasmuch as Category 10 . . . in essence requests the turnover of all computers (and related objects) of both corporations with no express safeguard against a subsequent rummaging through, and seizure of, 2 In Horowitz, the government initially served a grand jury subpoena on the target's accountant, requiring the production of seven categories of documents. Learning from the accountant's grand jury testimony that the target had had three file cabinets of documents removed from his corporate offices and stored at another location, the government issued another grand jury subpoena to the accountant requiring the production of the three file cabinets. The accountant turned the file cabinets over to the United States Attorney's office subject to the agreement that the cabinets would remain unopened until the litigation of a motion to quash. The accountant inventoried the contents of the file cabinets and then moved to quash the subpoena, as later did the targets. Id. at 74-75. On appeal, the Second Circuit noted that the alleged fraud began in 1966, but the file cabinets contained documents dating back to 1951, and therefore limited the enforcement of the subpoena to documents beginning in 1966, with the proviso that earlier- dated documents would be producible if the government made a showing of relevance. The Court also left it open to the targets to demonstrate that a particular category of documents could have no conceivable relevance to any legitimate investigative object. Id. at 79-80. 3 Black.

In the context of the seizure for off-site review of intermingled computerized evidence pursuant to a search warrant, the Ninth Circuit recently stated: In the case of a lawful and reasonable seizure of intermingled computer records for off- site review, . . . our precedents and the general reasonableness mandate of the Fourth Amendment require the supervision of a magistrate. It is not reasonable to allow the government to seize an indeterminately bounded array of computer data only later to set its own standards for review and retention thereof. United States v. Comprehensive Drug Testing, Inc., 473 F.3d 915, 938 (9th Cir. 2006)(emphasis added). Thus, even in the Comprehensive Drug Testing case, in which the government gained possession of the computer data through seizure pursuant to a warrant rather than through a grand jury subpoena, the Court did not hesitate to condemn a governmental fishing expedition through the acquired computer data. Here, where the process was initiated by subpoena, it is only appropriate and proper that the party whose privacy interests are at stake should be able to respond to a determinate, particularized subpoena rather than to an open-ended, limitless subpoena such as the one presently at issue in this case. Movants should not be required to turn over the entire computers to the government for its unfettered rummaging but instead only the particularized relevant documents called for in a properly tailored subpoena. Another peril of the warrant alternative would be the myriad new issues requiring resolution: at issue would be not simply whether there was probable cause for the search of the computers, see United States' Surreply at 2, but also the Fourth Amendment's particularity and overbreadth protections. It does not suffice that, should Epstein be indicted, he would have the opportunity to challenge the probable cause for the search on a motion to suppress. No motion to suppress can ever 4 Black.

Florida 33131 • Phone: • Fax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179179 cure an unwarranted intrusion on personal privacy which lays bare before the government a citizen's private life for its unguided scrutiny and permits government agents to read private materials to which they never should have had access in the first place. The Court must act now to prevent such wholesale intrusion from taking place. The government's overbroad and unparticularized subpoena should be quashed. The government should not be permitted to substitute secret proceedings for participatory ones or review of the computers' contents by F.B.I. agents for the more orderly process triggered by a valid subpoena. H. The government's act-of-production privilege argument, United States' Surreply at 2-3, is facially inconsistent with its contention that it intends, once it has the computers in its custody, to seek a warrant to search their contents. Obtaining such a warrant would require the government to demonstrate probable cause to believe that evidence of the alleged offenses under investigation would be found on the computers, evidence which the government seeks for the purpose of using it against Mr. Epstein if it exists.3 Production of the computers would constitute a testimonial communication that they were in fact the computers which were removed from Mr. Epstein's home, a necessary step in the authentication of any contents found therein which the government might seek to use against Mr. Epstein. It is not the subpoenaed item itself which must be potentially incriminating, but the act of producing that item. See United States v. Ponds, 454 F.3d 313 (D.C.Cir. 2006); see also Reply of Jeffrey Epstein to United States' Response to His Motion to Intervene and to Quash Grand Jury Subpoenas and Cross-Motion to Compel ("Epstein Reply") at 5-8. 3 The government's effort at reductio ad absurdum is not well-taken. See United States' Surreply at 2 n.2. If the subpoenaed party's act ofproducing his mother's coffee cake recipe were potentially incriminating, then the act of production would constitute a compelled testimonial communication as to which the subpoenaed party would have the right to assert a Fifth Amendment act-of-production privilege. Black. Srebnick, Komspan & Stumpf 201S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131 - drone: -• Fax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179180 Epstein should not be required to make unprotected assertions that anything in the computers is incriminating as a precondition to asserting the act-of-production privilege. See Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17, 21 (2001)("[W]e have emphasized that one of the Fifth Amendment's basic functions . . . is to protect innocent men . . . who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances" (emphasis in original)); Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486 (1951)("The privilege . . . not only extends to answers that would themselves support a conviction under a federal criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a federal crime"). As to the Riley Kiraly billing records, see United States' Surreply at 4, if the subpoena is to be enforced, Riley Kiraly will produce them in redacted form, with material encompassed within the work product privilege deleted. See Epstein Reply at 10-11. The work product privilege belongs jointly to Epstein, and he has rightly asserted that privilege. There can, therefore, be no question of waiver here. Clearly, the government wants more from the billing records than simply the numbers; it has issued an all-encompassing demand, leading to Mr. Epstein's contention that the request is overbroad. Lastly, the government complains that Mr. Riley did not appear to testify even though no motion to quash his testimony had been filed. See United States' Surreply at 1-2. Had such a motion been filed, the government would no doubt have argued that it should be denied as an impermissible blanket assertion of privilege. Mr. Riley will assert the attorney-client and/or work product privilege as necessary on a question-by-question basis during his grand jury appearance. Black. Srebnlck. Kornspan & Stum f 201 S.

Florida 33131 • done: • Fax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00179181 CONCLUSION The government began this process as an adversarial one — one which afforded Mr. Epstein both notice and an opportunity to be heard. It should not now be permitted to unilaterally convert that process to a secret ex pane search warrant application process and to thereby completely extinguish Mr. Epstein's ability to protect his legitimate his privacy interests. Mr. Epstein is entitled to be involved in this process before - not after — his interests are irreparably injured.

I am a duly appointed Deputy Sheriff for Palm Beach County, and have all the powers and duties of a law enforcement officer in and for Palm Beach County, Florida. I have been a Law Enforcement Officer since 1986, after completing training in the Law Enforcement Academy. From 1986 to 1989, I served with the Delray Beach Police Department as a Patrol Officer. From 1989 to present, I have been serving with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. Since 2000, I have been working in the Computer Crimes Unit as a Detective, working as a computer forensic analyst and investigator. Most of my investigations involve child exploitation. I am an instructor for Guidance Software Inc., the creators of EnCase® computer forensic software, and am an EnCase® Certified Examiner (EnCE). I have instructed other law enforcement officers with the local, state and federal governments in the area of computer forensics as an instructor for Guidance Software. Page 1 of 3 EFTA00179185 2. I received a phone call from David Kleiman on the morning of July 25, 2007. Mr. Kleiman advised me that he was hired by attorney Roy Black to make three bit-stream copies and one EnCase® image for each of three computers. Mr. Kleiman asked me if he would be able to use one of the Sheriff's Office's hard drive duplication devices. It may be noted that Mr. Kleiman is former law enforcement and has assisted the Sheriffs Office in computer related examinations and seizures in the past. Mr. Kleiman further stated that he was told the job needed to be done as soon as possible. Mr. Kleiman was meeting with a private investigator who worked with Mr. Black on July 26, 2007 in the morning at Mr. Kleiman's place of employment in Boca Raton. Mr. Kleiman described the investigator as an "old-time New York cop-type." Mr. Kleiman was told the computers had not been used since 2005 so he was trying to determine the size of the hard drives that were in the computers. Mr. Kleiman told me he was going to purchase several 120GB hard drives to do the job. I told Mr. Kleiman that the Logicube machine he wanted to use was not reliable. Mr. Kleiman made the decision to purchase a hard drive duplication device online from a company named Digital Intelligence and have it shipped overnight to his place of employment in Boca Raton. Mr. Kleiman was told someone would be standing by while the process was being completed. Mr. Kleiman advised the private investigator it would take at least 10 hours or more to complete the process. 3. I have not been involved in the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, but have worked on other cases with Special Agent Special Agent Page 2 of 3 EFTA00179186 and I had lunch together on July 25, 2007, and Roy Black's name came up during our conversation.

I am currently employed as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") and have been so employed for the past ten years. I am assigned to the Miami Division, Palm Beach County Resident Agency, and for the past three years, I have been assigned to investigate mostly child exploitation cases. 2. In the Spring of 2006, Detective kith the Town of Palm Beach Police Department ("PBPD") contacted me about the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution and his lewd and lascivious conduct with minors. The FBI opened a case file in July 2006, and I am the case agent assigned to the investigation. 3. At around the same time that the FBI opened its investigation, the U.S. Attorney's Office began a grand jury investigation. I am one of the agents on the Federal Page 1 of 9 ) EFTA00179190 Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e) list, that is, someone who is authorized to have access to the facts of the investigation and the materials related thereto. 4. As part of the grand jury investigation, a subpoena was issued for all of the physical evidence obtained by PBPD during the course of its investigation, including the evidence seized when PBPD executed the search warrant at Jeffrey Epstein's home in October 2005. 5. From my review of the photographs from the execution of the search warrant and my conversations with Detective , I believe that certain items were purposely removed from Mr. Epstein's home in anticipation of an execution of a search warrant. This includes the three computers which are the subject of grand jury subpoena numbers OLY-63 and OLY-64. 6. I believe that the computers will be helpful to the grand jury investigation in several ways. First, one of the possible crimes that Mr. Epstein has committed is the travel in interstate commerce for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2423(b). Another possible offense is the use of a facility of interstate commerce to persuade, induce, or entice a minor to engage in prostitution or other illicit sexual conduct, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2422(b). A telephone is a facility of interstate commerce, so evidence of the use of the telephones to arrange appointments for sexual activity is evidence of a violation of Section 2422(b). Page 2 of 9 EFTA00179191 7. From items recovered during the PBPD investigation and the FBI's own investigation, I know that some member or members of Mr. Epstein's staff documented daily messages for Mr. Epstein, to include telephonic and electronic mail messages, utilizing the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address, http://domsrv0l/foxhaven/wc.dll?Gmax—Msg- Display. Computer printouts displaying this information were recovered by PBPD from the trash located at Mr. Epstein's residence, 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida. One of the electronic message logs on the computer printouts documented a message left for Mr. Epstein on April 11, 2005 at 4:29pm by la, Mr. Epstein's assistant, regarding the availability of an identified underage female to "work". Review of cellular telephone records indicated telephonic contact between telephones utilized by.. and the same identified underage female on April 11, 2005 at 4:24pm. The electronic message logs recovered also displayed other types of appointments and travel plans. 8. Therefore, a review of Mr. Epstein's computers may provide additional electronically stored message logs which could be further evidence of Mr. Epstein's intent to travel to engage in sexual activity with teenagers he recruited from five Palm Beach County high schools. Based upon the investigation, I believe that someone other than Mr. Epstein prepared the computerized calendar and telephone messages. Thus, Mr. Epstein would not be required to authenticate any such documents recovered from the computer. 9. The second way that the computers will assist the grand jury is the possibility that photographs of the crime victims and/or child pornography may appear. I know from Page 3 of 9 EFTA00179192 Detective that, at one time, Mr. Epstein had a security system that automatically downloaded images from surveillance cameras onto a computer. Detective learned about that in an unrelated theft investigation in October 2003. In October 2005, during the execution of the state search warrant at Mr. Epstein's residence, PBPD investigators observed pre-existing surveillance cameras in place but disconnected from recording equipment. The disconnected cables were located in an area where computer equipment appeared to have been removed. The FBI investigation has determined that Mr. Epstein was actively involved in lewd and lascivious conduct with minor females as early as March 2004. To the extent that Mr. Epstein tries to deny that any or all of the victims ever visited his home, video footage of them at the house would rebut such a claim. 10. During the interview of another identified crime victim, it was revealed that Mr. Epstein had taken a picture of her standing near a marble bathtub. She was naked and looking over her shoulder. Mr. Epstein took that photograph at his Palm Beach residence in what the identified crime victim described as a bathroom in Mr. Epstein's master suite. 11. Also, during the FBI's investigation, I interviewed a young woman, "M," who had known Mr. Epstein several years ago, when she was in her late teens/early twenties. The woman was a struggling artist in New York who was specializing in painting nude portraits. Prior to preparing a portrait, "M" would take several photographic studies. Mr. Epstein was very interested in her work and her photographs, and also expressed an interest in the artist's younger sister, "A," who was 16 years' old at the time. Page 4 of 9 EFTA00179193 12. Mr. Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, made arrangements and paid for "M" to fly home to Arizona for the primary purpose of taking artistic photographs of her family members in the nude. This included the artist's younger siblings, that is, two sisters ("A" and a younger sister, age 9 or 10), and her two brothers. Due to the sensitive nature of the photographs, "M" created a photo log to document each image and the order in which it was taken. Later, "M" learned that seven photographs, two of "A" and five of the 9- or 10- year-old, were missing. "M," who was very upset, contacted Mr. Epstein's office and asked for one of Mr. Epstein's assistants to look for the missing photographs. "M" also confronted Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell about the missing photographs, which they claimed they did not possess. A few weeks later "M" received a telephone call from an unidentified caller who stated that the missing photographs were in Mr. Epstein's briefcase. The missing photographs have never been recovered and "M" believes that Mr. Epstein is in possession of them 13. Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell also made arrangements and paid for "A," "M"'s younger sister, age 16, to travel to one of his homes, located in New Mexico. One morning during that visit, Mr. Epstein got into bed with "A." Mr. Epstein told "A" that he felt like "cuddling." "A" described Mr. Epstein's actions as "spooning" and constantly hugging her. 14. During the FBI interview with "A," she became visibly disturbed when recalling an incident with Mr. Epsein at his ranch in New Mexico. "A" stated that one evening Mr. Epstein had come into her bedroom and sat on the bed. Mr. Epstein stroked her Page 5 of 9 EFTA00179194 hair and told her she was beautiful. "A" was unable to recall the remainder of the events for that evening. 15. I have interviewed "M" and "A" about their experiences with Mr. Epstein. Both "M" and "A" are reluctant to divulge their experiences publicly. "M" has also expressed her concern about speaking publicly against Mr. Epstein for fear of reprisals against her or her family. 16. Further evidence of Mr. Epstein's potential interest in underage females and child pornography was the open display of three photographs in his Palm Beach residence which were seized during the execution of the state search warrant. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a photograph which depicts a prepubescent female toddler exposing her genitalia. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a photograph which depicts a prepubescent female pulling down her underwear exposing her left buttock. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a photograph which depicts Mr. Epstein attempting to bite the clothed buttocks of a prepubescent female (the prepubescent female's skirt is raised exposing her underwear). 17. Based upon this information, I believe a review of Mr. Epstein's computers may reveal images depicting crime victims and/or child pornography. In light of "M"' s fear of testifying against Mr. Epstein, the computer's contents may be the only admissible evidence of Mr. Epstein's interest in child pornography at trial (assuming that such evidence is discovered). 18. The information related to the computers also would be helpful to the grand Page 6 of 9 EFTA00179195 jury in trying to determine if any evidence exists that may indicate Mr. Epstein's involvement in the obstruction of justice through the tampering with or destruction of evidence. Additionally, evidence related to the computers may indicate Mr. Epstein's knowledge of guilt. Case law states that attempts to flee or hide or destroy evidence can be considered as evidence of a guilty mind. 19. Other crimes that the grand jury is investigating, which were not the subject of the state investigation, are promotion money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957, and aiding and abetting unlawful money transmitting by a financial institution, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1960. Both of these offenses involve the transmission of funds between different banking accounts owned by Mr. Epstein in order to promote prostitution. Through the grand jury investigation, documents from bank accounts have been obtained that show transfers of large sums of money (as much as $250,000 on a single day) from one personal Epstein account into an account purportedly owned by JEGE, Inc. (an entity created for the sole purpose of holding Epstein's personal Boeing 727 aircraft), and then to another personal Epstein account. It is believed that the computers may hold information related to those bank accounts and bank transactions. 20. With respect to the computers that are the subject of the pending grand jury subpoenas, through the grand jury investigation, I was asked to interview Janusz Banasiak, the property manager for Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach home. Banasiak worked in that position during the time of the execution of the search warrant. I asked Banasiak whether Page 7 of 9 EFTA00179196 he had removed the computers from the Epstein household. He stated that he had not, and that 'ME' and a private investigator, "Paul," had come to the house and taken the computers away. I know from the investigation that `IIIM" is , also known as who sometimes worked as a personal assistant to Jeffrey Epstein. Ms. is considered a target of the investigation, but neither Ms. nor Mr. Epstein is aware of that classification at this time. I know from the investigation that "Paul" is Paul Lavery, a private investigator who has had contact with several identified victims. 21. A grand jury subpoena was served on Mr. Lavery at his residence in Hialeah, Florida. Mr. Lavery hired an attorney and initially refused to respond to the subpoena. Eventually, based upon conversations between Assistant United States Attorney and counsel for Mr. Lavery, a telephonic interview was conducted of Mr. Lavery. During that interview, Mr. Lavery stated that he had traveled to Jeffrey Epstein's home in the fall of 2005 and that a woman (whom he believed was MI) had given him the computer equipment, already in boxes. Mr. Lavery stated that he had the computers for a few days, probably over a weekend, before he delivered the computers to William Riley. Mr. Lavery stated that he did not tamper with the computers while they were in his possession. 22. Based upon the interview of Paul Lavery, grand jury subpoenas were prepared for William Riley and the Custodian of Records of his firm, Riley Kiraly. Riley Kiraly is an independent private investigation firm, with its own offices in Miami, Florida. Attached hereto as Exhibit D are copies of printouts from the Riley Kiraly website, explaining the Page 8 of 9 EFTA00179197 services offered. Neither Mr. Riley nor Riley Kiraly works exclusively for Roy Black or any other lawyer or law firm. 23. The grand jury subpoenas were served via acceptance of fax by William Riley. He did not indicate whether he still had custody of the subpoenaed computers. Based upon the foregoing facts and the additional facts set forth in the Declaration of Detective Patrick L. Paige, Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, I believe that Mr. Riley either currently has the computers in his possession or knows who has them. At the very least, Mr. Riley can relay to the grand jury his actions concerning the computers that were removed from Mr. Epstein's residence. I declare under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. Executed this 3 4h day of July, 2007.

I am currently employed as a detective with the Town of Palm Beach Police Department ("PBPD") and have been so employed for the past 16 years. 2. Beginning in September, 2005, I was the lead investigator in PBPD's investigation ofJeffrey Epstein's solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution and his lewd and lascivious conduct with minors. 3. Prior to my involvement in that investigation, as part of my employment with PBPD, I was asked to go to Jeffrey Epstein's home in October of 2003, to assist in an investigation of a possible theft. While present in Mr. Epstein's home, I was asked to assist in the installation of some temporary surveillance cameras. I also observed the pre-existing security system, which included the automatic downloading of the images from the pre- existing security cameras onto a personal computer. This personal computer was located in an area that appeared to be office. I know from my investigation that Sarah Page 1 of 4 EFTA00179209 works as a personal assistant to Mr. Epstein. After completing the theft investigation, the temporary surveillance cameras were removed, but I believe that the pre-existing security cameras remained. 4. While present in the house, I also observed two other computers — one in an area I refer to as "Jeffrey Epstein's office," and the other in the pool cabana. 5. In October 2005, as part of my investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, I approached the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office ("SAO") about obtaining a search warrant. I know that, prior to that date, Mr. Epstein was aware of an ongoing criminal investigation conducted by the Palm Beach Police Department. 6. On October 18, 2005, with the help of the SAO, I prepared a Search Warrant Application and Affidavit and presented them to Judge Laura Johnson for her signature. The judge granted the warrant and it was executed on October 20, 2005. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-1 is a true and correct copy of the warrant application and the warrant signed by Judge Johnson. Among the items that I was authorized to search for and seize was: (1) Computers, including any electronic magnetic, optical, electrochemical, or other high speed data processing device performing logical, arithmetic, or storage functions; data storage facilities such as magnetic tape, hard disk, floppy disk or drum, or cd rom; communications facilities directly relating to or operating in conjunction with such device; devices for printing records of data; and such records or data Page 2 of 4 EFTA00179210 produced in various forms; manuals, documents, or instructional material relating to such devices. (2) Computer, personal computers, computer peripherals, modems, computer printers, floppy disk drives, hard disk drives, diskettes, tapes, computer printouts, software, computer programs and applications, computer manuals, system documentation. 7. When the search warrant was executed, several items were conspicuously absent. For example, there were several hanging file folders that had their contents removed, and the pre-existing security cameras that I had observed during my last visit to Mr. Epstein's residence were in place but were not connected to recording equipment. In addition, at each location where a computer had been present, computer monitors, printers, and other peripheral devices were present but the computers (CPU-Central processing unit) themselves were removed. 8. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-2 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the area that I believe was Jeffrey Epstein's office. 9. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-3 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the area that I believe was office. Also located in that office were cables connected to surveillance recording equipment located throughout the home. The cables were not connected to any computer, but were near Page 3 of 4 EFTA00179211 the area from which the CPU was removed, leading me to believe that they had been connected to the removed CPU. 10. Attached hereto as Exhibit R-4 is a photograph taken at the time of the execution of the Search Warrant of the desk in the pool cabana. 11. One older CPU was discovered during the search, which contained video segments showing the presence of various persons in the house, including possibly one or more victims from the security cameras. There also was a video segment showing Jeffrey Epstein working at his desk in his office. 12. In the Spring of 2006, I approached the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") about assisting in the investigation of possible federal charges against Mr. Epstein. The FBI began an independent investigation. I have been called upon to provide background information, but I have not been actively involved in the FBI's investigation. I am not aware of the present location of the computers removed from Mr. Epstein's home. I declare under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. Executed this , 0 day of July, 2007.

I am currently employed as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") and have been so employed for the past ten years. I am assigned to the Miami Division, Palm Beach County Resident Agency, and for the past three years, I have been assigned to investigate mostly child exploitation cases. As explained in my earlier declaration, I am the case agent assigned to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution and his lewd and lascivious conduct with minors. 2. After filing the Declaration in Support of the United States' Response to the Motion to Quash Subpoenas, I located and interviewed another girl, Jane Doe, who was recruited to engage in prostitution with Jeffrey Epstein. 3. In 2001, Jane Doe, age 14, was recruited by another female, "V", to provide Page I of 3 EFTA00179231 Epstein with a personal massage. The first time that "V" brought Jane Doe to Epstein's home at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, "V" and Epstein engaged in sexual intercourse in front of Jane Doe. "V" was seventeen years old at the time. "V's" first contact with Epstein, at the age of 15, was for the purpose of providing him with personal massages. 4. Jane Doe estimates that she returned to Epstein's home approximately 100 times between 2001 and 2003. Epstein masturbated in Jane Doe's presence during all but three of the massages she provided. During additional visits, Epstein tried to engage Jane Doe in more and more sexual behavior. On one occasion, Epstein introduced an unidentified female who performed oral sex on Jane Doe while Epstein had sexual intercourse with the unidentified female. At the end of each massage, Jane Doe was paid $200 to $400 by Epstein. 5. On one occasion, when Jane Doe was approximately 16 years' old, Epstein's assistant, telephoned Jane Doe and told her that Epstein wanted to photograph her. Jane Doe traveled to Epstein's Palm Beach home where took a series of nude photographs of Jane Doe posing at several locations on Epstein's property. Jane Doe was paid $500 for posing nude for the photographs. Jane Doe reported that used a digital camera to take the nude photographs. 6. This information further leads me to the believe that the computers that are the Page 2 of 3 EFTA00179232 subject of the grand jury subpoena are likely to contain evidence of Jeffrey Epstein's solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution and may contain child pornography. I declare under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. Executed this day of August, 2007.
