Here is the extracted text: **Header** Id. at 26a. **Paragraph 1** The NPA further specified that, if Epstein timely fulfilled all the terms and conditions of the agreement, no prosecution against him would "be instituted in this District." Pet. App. 26a. The NPA then listed 13 terms, which principally required Epstein to plead guilty to two state offenses—soliciting prostitution and soliciting minors to engage in prostitution—and agree to a sentence of 18 months of imprisonment. Id. at 27a-30a. A later provision stated that if Epstein "successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to" four of Epstein's assistants (none of whom was petitioner). Id. at 31a; see id. at 123a-124a; C.A. App. 178. **Paragraph 2** Such a coconspirators clause was "highly unusual," Pet. App. 125a, and "appears to have been added 'with little discussion or consideration by the prosecutors,'" id. at 55a (citation omitted). During a later investigation into the Florida USAO's handling of the Epstein matter, the Assistant U.S. Attorney who handled the case told the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility that she "did not consider the possibility that Epstein might be trying to protect" anyone other than the four named assistants. Id. at 110a; see id. at 125a-126a. And other USAO attorneys suggested that the coconspirators clause was "meant to protect named co-conspirators who were also victims" of Epstein. Id. at 125a. **Footer** The conspirators clause is not the only clause that refers to "the United States"; instead, the NPA refers variously to the "the United States Attorney," "the United States Attorney's Office," and "the United States Attorney's Office," and "the United States Attorney's Office," and "the United States Attorney's Office," and "the United States Attorney's Office," and "the
