This Request is submitted by undersigned counsel on behalf of our client, Jeffrey Epstein ("the Requester" or "Epstein").

His current address is 6300 Red Hook, Suite B3, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, 00802.

Request. Mr. Epstein seeks disclosure of any records' documents, files, communications, memoranda, orders, agreements and/or instructions created from January 1, 2000 to November 25,2012, that were prepared received, transmitted, collected, and/or maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, or any their components or field offices, including but not limited to the following: 1. Any records, order, agreement, or accommodation relating or referring to Epstein, including but not limited to records that document monitoring, surveillance, observation, questioning, interrogation, investigation, and/or collection of information relating to Epstein. 2. Any records relating or referring to how, why, or when Epstein was selected to be a subject of monitoring, surveillance, observation, questioning, interrogation, investigation, and/or collection of information. We preauthorize spending up to $1,000.00. We specifically request that a cross-reference search be conducted for the requested materials. Likewise, we specifically request that the requested search include but not be limited to a search of the FBI's Central Records System ("CRS"), Electronic Surveillance ("ELSUR") indices and so-called tickler files. As noted, a prior Request was submitted on Epstein's behalf (FOIPA Request No. 1142669-000). Epstein was subsequently notified that documents were withheld with regard to FOIPA Request No. 1142669-000 due to an open investigation. Two additional prior requests were also submitted on Epstein's behalf (FOIPA Request No. 1142669-001 and 1142699-002 and on each occasion Epstein was notified that documents were withheld due to an open investigation. Without limiting the nature of the present Request, we would respectfully request a renewed examination of the documents withheld with regard to FOIPA Requests No. 1142669-000, 1142669-001, and 1142669- 002 and specifically whether the open investigation cited in FOIPA Requests No. 1142669-000, 1142669-001, and 1142669-002 has since been terminated and the withheld documents should therefore be produced at this time. Pursuant to applicable regulations and statutes, if this request is denied in whole or in part, we request that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the FOIA, the Privacy Act, and any other provisions of law upon which you rely. Unless you reply otherwise within the response deadline set forth in the FOIA, I will assume that The term "records" as used herein includes all records or communications preserved in electronic or written form, including but not limited to correspondence, documents, data, videotapes, audiotapes, faxes, files, guidance, guidelines, evaluations, instructions, analysis, memoranda, agreements, notes, orders, policies, procedures, protocols, reports, rules, technical manuals, technical specifications, training manuals, or studies.

Please furnish all requested information to my above-listed office. Thank you.
