Good afternoon, and Sony to trouble you about this case from what seems like long ago, but here in the Southern District, one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims has sued our Office for alleged violations of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The victim's lawyers in the case have asked us to take a position in the case that we believe would have national implications, especially in child exploitation cases. Are you available any time soon to discuss this? At this point we are not looking for a definitive policy statement, but we would like to bounce ideas off of you. OPR also has asked for a preliminary examination of materials, and I think that we need to discuss that matter, too. I am available from 11:30 to 1:30 and after 3:00 tomorrow, or any time on Monday to discuss. Thank you.

United States lawsuit. Both the referral of your allegations to the Office of Professional Responsibility and the request for our Office to "step aside" in the Jane Doe litigation are not insignificant matters. As you doubtless are aware, the position that you are asking us to adopt, simply by "stepping aside," will have repercussions for every U.S. Attorney's Office throughout the country, and, therefore, requires a from the Department in Washington, D.C. We also are trying to balance our obligations to Ms. with our obligations to the other identified victims in the Epstein matter. and I are doing our due diligence, both within and outside our Office. My recommendation is that we schedule a conference call for the afternoon of Thursday, March 10'h. If, by that time, we still have no definitive answer, then we can tell you that and discuss how best to proceed. If we receive an answer prior to the 10'h, of course, I will let you know right away. What time are you all available on the 10t°? I will set up an AT&T conference call, as I have done in the past. Thank you. EFTA00206175
