This Request is submitted by undersigned counsel on behalf of our client, Jeffrey Epstein ("the Requester" or "Epstein"). Submitted with this request is an executed Privacy Waiver signed by Epstein, which designates undersigned counsel to receive the results of this FOIA request. I. The Requestor Jeffrey Epstein is a natural person. His birth date is January 20, 1953. His place of birth is Kings County, New York. His social security number is 090-44-3348. His current address is 6300 Red Hook, Suite B3, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, 00802. He has another residence located at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, 33480, which was listed as the current residence in a prior Request (FOIPA Request No. 1142669-000). II. Request. EFTA01145893  Mr. Epstein seeks disclosure of any records, documents, files, communications, memoranda, orders, agreements and/or instructions created from January 1, 2000 to June 17, 2011, that were prepared received, transmitted, collected, and/or maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, or any of their components or field offices, including but not limited to the following: 1. Any records, order, agreement, or accommodation relating or referring to Epstein, including but not limited to records that document monitoring, surveillance, observation, questioning, interrogation, investigation, and/or collection of information relating to Epstein. 2. Any records relating or referring to how, why, or when Epstein was selected to be a subject of monitoring, surveillance, observation, questioning, interrogation, investigation, and/or collection of information. We preauthorizc spending up to $1,000.00. We specifically request that a cross-reference search be conducted for the requested materials. Likewise, we specifically request that the requested search include but not be limited to a search of the FBI's Central Records System ("CRS"), Electronic Surveillance ("ELSUR") indices and so-called tickler files. As noted, a prior Request was submitted on Epstein's behalf (FOIPA Request No. 1142669-000). Epstein was subsequently notified that documents were withheld with regard to FOIPA Request No. 1142669-000 due to an open investigation. We also note that a second Request was submitted on Epstein's behalf (FOIPA Request No. 1142669- 001), and Epstein was again notified that documents were withheld due to an open investigation. Without limiting the nature of the present Request, we would respectfully request a renewed examination of the documents withheld with regard to FOIPA Request Nos. 1142669-000 and 1142669-001, and specifically whether the open investigations cited in those responses have since been terminated and the withheld documents should therefore be produced at this time. Pursuant to applicable regulations and statutes, if this request is denied in whole or in part, we request that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the FOIA, the Privacy Act, and any other provisions of law upon which you rely. Unless you reply otherwise within the response deadline set forth in the FOIA, I will assume that you do not claim that you are not the proper office to receive this request. Mr. Epstein reserves the right to appeal a decision to withhold any information. The term "records" as used herein includes all records or communications preserved in electronic or written form, including but not limited to correspondence, documents, data, videotapes, audiotapes, faxes, files, guidance, guidelines, evaluations, instructions, analysis. memoranda, agreements, notes, orders. policies, procedures, protocols, reports, rules, technical manuals, technical specifications, training manuals, or studies.
