Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB Document8 Filed 07/11/19 Page1of2 U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Southern District of New York The Silvio J. Mollo Building One Saint Andrew's Plaza New York, New York 10007 July 11, 2019 VIA ECF The Honorable Richard M. Berman United States District Court Southern District of New York United States Courthouse 500 Pearl Street New York, New York 10007 Re: United States v. Jeffrey Epstein, 19 Cr. 490 (RMB) Dear Judge Berman: The Government respectfully submits this letter in response to the defendant’s motion for leave to file a supplemental financial disclosure under seal (the “Sealing Motion”) in connection with his motion for pretrial release (the “Bail Motion”). The Government takes no position on the defendant’s application, but notes that as of this filing the Government still has not yet received any financial disclosure or information from the defense in connection with the defendant’s application for bail. It is now more than three days following the defendant’s initial presentment, more than seven hours after the defendant’s deadline to file his Motion, and less than 24 hours before the Government’s deadline to reply. There is no reason that the defendant need have waited until this evening to submit his Sealing Motion, and the Government cannot meaningfully respond to a Bail Motion that contains no material financial information, either under seal or otherwise. Accordingly, the Government respectfully requests that its deadline to respond to the defendant’s Bail Motion be extended to at least 24 hours following the defendant’s disclosure of any financial information upon which he intends to rely in connection with the Motion.
