JED S. RAKOFF, U.S.D.J.:¶
On March 1, 2023, defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JP moved to compel production of certain documents from thirdparty the Epstein Victims Compensation Program (“EVCP”). For reasons stated from the bench on March 16, 2023, the Court hereby grants JP motion in part and denies that motion in part, as further specified below.¶
The Court hereby grants JP motion with respect to its Requests for Production numbered 1, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Additionally, the Court hereby grants in part JP motion with respect to its Requests for Production numbered 7 and 8. More specifically, the EVCP is hereby ordered to produce documents sufficient to show the total number of applicants to the EVCP who were approved for compensation and the total number of such applicants who were denied such compensation. The EVCP is not hereby compelled to produce documents sufficient to show the reasons for its approval or denial of any application. Additionally, JP motion to compel is denied with respect to Requests for Production numbered 13, 16, 17, 18, and 19, which the Court views as overly broad.¶
