DE 475:1-2. Rather than grant this remedy, the Court is duty-bound to deny it as moot. As a result of Mr. Epstein's death, there is no longer an Article III Case or Controversy concerning rescission of the NPA as a remedy to allow Petitioners to confer with and attempt to persuade the government to prosecute Mr. Epstein. The dispute pertaining to rescission as a remedy in this case is now "solely about the meaning of a law, abstracted from any concrete actual or threatened harm," and any resolution by the Court EFTA02758603
