Re: SCID No. 30129-2010¶

Dear Justice Pickholz:¶

I am writing regarding the hearing for Mr. Jeffrey Epstein in the above-referenced matter, which is currently scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 15, 2010.¶

We respectfully request a continuance of the hearing. Kirkland & Ellis was only recently retained by Mr. Epstein to represent him in this matter and due to the holidays this week and because the matter arises out of Florida, we will need some time in order to collect information to prepare for the hearing.¶

We are available on or after October 4, 2010 for a hearing on this matter if that would be acceptable to the Court. We are available to discuss at the Court’s convenience.¶

Respectfully submitted,¶
