Epstein was subsequently notified that documents were withheld with regard to FOIPA Request No. 1142669-000 due to an open investigation. Two additional prior requests were also submitted on Epstein's behalf (FOIPA Request No. 1142669-001 and 1142699-002 and on each occasion Epstein was notified that documents were withheld due to an open investigation.
