I've contacted to see who at BOP will be handling this. Our Answer date is currently March 4, 2020. Please let me know if you have any particular concerns here or would like to discuss. Thanks, From: Sent: Thursday, January 2, 2020 7:10 PM To: (USANYS) 4 Cc: (USANYS) 4la Subject: RE: Jeffrey Epstein-Related Touhy Requests ) (USANYS) ; (USANYS) Thanks for talking with me this evening about this, we appreciate it. To briefly memorialize our discussion, and to loop in everybody on the case on the criminal side, you'll be the point person for requests from civil plaintiffs / victims in connection with Epstein lawsuits, and we'll work with you on those requests given our knowledge of the relevant facts and materials. In terms of this first question from the plaintiff, which was essentially presented as a question of how they should go about making a request for certain materials possibly in the possession of the Government, we'll plan to take a look at the letter you draft that will essentially set forth the requirements for making a Touhy request (e.g., similar to, or including, the kind of information in example below), and separately sometime early next week I'll let plaintiff's counsel (Robbie Kaplan at Kaplan & Hecker) know that they can expect to hear from someone in our Civil Division, within approximately a week or so (of when that conversation occurs), and that we anticipate that communication will include the relevant requirements of making such a request. Please let me know if I'm forgetting anything, thanks again, and talk soon. From: (USANYS) Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2020 10:01 EFTA00
