## Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Dear Jay, Roy, and Jack:
On today’s date, our Office received an inquiry from State Attorney Barry Krischer related to the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In accordance with the terms of that Agreement, I am notifying you of this development. State Attorney Krischer has been contacted by counsel for the Palm Beach Daily News asking why the Non-Prosecution Agreement is under seal in order to determine whether to file suit asking that it be unsealed. I have informed State Attorney Krischer that the Agreement contains a confidentiality clause requiring us to provide Mr. Epstein’s counsel with notice prior to making any disclosure (compulsory or otherwise). Since Mr. Epstein is a party to that criminal case, he has standing to contest any

unsealing, while we do not. Accordingly, I ask that you confer with Mr. Krischer regarding how you would like to proceed with the matter.
I also want to reiterate the concern I raised in my letter of August 15, 2008, that the complete Non-Prosecution Agreement, which includes the October Addendum, has not been filed with the Court in accordance with the Judge's order. Please advise that this issue has been resolved.
Thank you for your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
R. Alexander Acosta United States Attorney
