REPLY OF WILLIAM RILEY AND RILEY KIRA
LY TO THE
GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE TO THE MOTION
TO INTERVENE AND TO
QUASH GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS AND CRO
SS MOTION TO COMPEL
William Riley and Riley Kiraly ("Riley"). by
and through undersigned counsel, file this
Reply to the Response of the United States to
the Motion of Jeffrey Epstein to Intervene and to
Quash Grand Jury Subpoenas and Cross Motio
n to Compel to respond to the Government's
assertions that Riley failed to appear before the grand
jury.' 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
.
I Undersigned counsel has been out of the country
and just recently returned.
Accordingly, this Reply has been prepared within days of
his return.

Therefore, contrary to the Government's claim. Riley did not flout the subpoena. Rather.
Riley's non-appearance was known by the Government. and Riley met the condition of that
excuse, that is. Epstein timely filed the motion to quash.

Dear Mr. Black:
Thank you for your letter of July 13, 2007. You and your firm are neither a subpoenaed party
nor counsel to a subpoenaed party. Accordingly, pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, I am not at liberty to discuss this matter with you. Moreover, it is not the practice of this
Office to discuss internal Department of Justice policies with non-Justice Department personnel.
If Mr. believes he has cause to move to quash the subpoena, or if Mr. Epstein does for that
matter, counsel for the respective parties should so move. Otherwise, we expect compliance by
tomorrow, which includes a one-week extension already requested by Ms. Sanchez prior to Mr.

Re: Grand Jury Subpoena - William Riley
Dear Ms. NM
I represent Jeffrey Epstein, the target of a pending Grand Jury investigation.
Prior to the initiation of this federal investigation, I represented Mr. Epstein on a
Palm Beach Florida State Attorney's Office investigation and subsequently an
Information, the factual basis of which is identical to, and gave rise to, the federal
investigation presently underway.
In connection with my earlier representation of Mr. Epstein, I hired Mr.
William Riley as a private investigator to act under my direction in anticipation of
defending Mr. Epstein against possible criminal charges and any litigation which
may have followed. All his investigations were done as my agent and thus are
covered by the work product privilege, and all communications to him are
protected by the attorney client privilege.
Though we are not conceding the existence of any computers that would be
responsive to the subpoena served upon Mr. Riley, to the extent there are any
such computers, they would contain documents that are privileged attorney-client
communications and attorney work-product. Your subpoena also asks for
materials describing the scope of his investigation and thus they are our work
product.

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.

Epstein's counsel. 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.

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
