Dear Ms. Kaplan:¶
I write in response to the your letter dated February 25, 2020, seeking documents from the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to Jeffrey Epstein and plaintiff Jane Doe in Doe v. Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein, No. 19-cv-8673 (S.D.N.Y.). As noted in my previous letter dated January 6, 2020, DOJ’s response to your request is governed by federal regulations, referred to as “Touhy regulations.” See United States a rel. Touhy v. Ragen, 340 U.S. 462 (1951). Pursuant to these regulations, the United States Attorney has authorized DOJ to provide certain documents responsive to your request. Please find electronic versions of these documents enclosed. The password for these documents will be sent to you by separate cover.¶
The enclosed documents are as follows:¶
- Pages numbered DO.1_001-005 are a report of service of a grand jury subpoena on Jane Doe.
