The Government is mistaken. Riley's appearance before the grand jury was origin ally scheduled for July 10. 2007. By the agreement of the parties. that appearance was rescheduled for July 17, 2007. The day before that scheduled appearance, i.e.. July 16. 2007. couns el for Jeffrey Epstein, who seeks to intervene in this matter, was informed by Deputy Chief that Riley did not have to appear physically before the grand jury if a motion to quash the subpoena at issue was filed by Epstein before the end of the day on July 17. 2007. As the Government's Response states. Epstein's motion to quash was filed on July 17, 2007 before the close of business. See Gov't Resp. at 1. Riley was informed of these matters by Roy Black, Esquire. and did not appear in reliance on the Government's agreement with Roy Black .

All documents and information related to the nature of the relationship between Mr. William Riley and/or Riley Kiraly and Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, including, but not limited to, retainer agreements; employment agreements; billing statements (whether submitted directly to Mr. Epstein or to a third party for reimbursement); records of the dates when services were performed and the hours worked; telephone logs or records of dates of communications with Mr. Epstein (or with a third party on Mr. Epstein's behalf); appointment calendars/datebooks and the like (whether in hard copy or electronic form) for any period when work was performed on behalf of Mr. Epstein or when any communication was had with Mr. Epstein (or with a third party on Mr. Epstein's behalf); and records of fee arrangements and payments received for work performed on Mr. Epstein's behalf.

Florida 33131. Phone: • lax: • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00178992 MEMORANDUM OF LAW In or about March 2005, the Palm Beach Police Department initiated a criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein to determine whether he committed any criminal acts in connection with allegations that he paid women to provide massages to him in his home. According to information obtained by the local police, one or more of the women so engaged was under the age of 18 at the relevant time. Affidavit of Roy Black, Esq., sworn to July 17,. 2007, annexed ("Black Aft") 73. Following a 16 month investigation, on July 17, 2006, Mr. Epstein was charged under Florida law with one count of soliciting a prostitute, a third degree felony. That charge is still pending. Black Aff. 75. In the fall of 2005, prior to being charged with any wrongdoing, Mr. Epstein retained Roy Black, Esq., to represent him in connection with the then ongoing state investigation. Black Aff. ¶3. Mr. Black in turn hired William Riley of Riley Kiraly, a private investigation firm, to assist him in his representation of Mr. Epstein. Black Aff. 74. During the course of the state investigation, law enforcement authorities concluded that at some time, one or more computers had been removed from Mr. Epstein's home by a private investigator working at the instruction of Mr. 4 Black.

It is those computers;' the testimony of the private investigator; and documents relating to the retention and to the work-product of the investigator that are sought by the subpoenas. Both prior to the charge being brought and thereafter defense counsel were provided with open disclosure of the state's evidence. Black Aff. 16. As a result, all or virtually all of the evidence obtained by the state in its investigation has been reviewed by the defense. Id. Included in the materials reviewed are the audio and/or video taped sworn statements of 18 witnesses, transcripts of all 18 of those recorded sworn statements, the transcript of one additional sworn statement, and over 125 pages of documents prepared by the Palm Beach Police Department which detail every sworn statement obtained by detectives, every interview conducted by detectives, all their investigative efforts, and all the evidence gathered. Id. These documents include the entire police file, as well as the probable cause affidavits prepared by Palm Beach detectives and the application for a search warrant of Mr. Epstein's home. Id. Reviewing these materials has afforded the defense with a thorough understanding of the factual bases for any allegations that have been, or could have been, made against Mr. Epstein. Black Aff. ¶7. We do not concede the existence of any such computers. However, for purposes of this motion, we refer herein to "computers" as if one or more computers described in the subpoenas do exist. 5 Black. Srebnick. Komspan S& ni 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami, Florida 33131 • Phone: • Fax • www.RoyBlack.com EFTA00178994 In approximately January 2007, a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida initiated what was termed a "parallel" investigation to determine whether the conduct in which Mr. Epstein had allegedly engaged violated federal laws, including violations of 18 U.S.C. §2423 (travel for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual activity); and 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), use of the Internet or other means of interstate communication to persuade, entice or coerce another to engage in unlawful sexual activity. Black Aff. 11. We understood the conduct being scrutinized by the federal grand jury was the same as the subject of the state prosecution. Black Aff. $8. Indeed, during the course of the federal investigation, prosecutors asked for and were provided with copies of the 18 recorded sworn witness statements, and further asked for copies of the transcripts of those sworn statements. Id. That the two investigations examine the same alleged conduct is also clear from Palm Beach Police Chief Michael S. Reiter's letter expressing the Department's displeasure with the actions of the state grand jury and State Attorney's Office, and explaining he was referring the matter to federal authorities in order to initiate a federal investigation of the facts. Black Aff. 919, see also Black Aff. Exhibit "B". At the same time, the Palm Beach Police Department both publicly released copies of its files, including the 87 page police report and 6 Black.
