The Middle District of Florida is one of three federal judicial districts in Florida, covering central Florida with courthouses in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Fort Myers, and Ocala. It appears in the Epstein files exclusively in legal correspondence related to document production requests across multiple federal districts.

All four mentions appear in identical or near-identical legal language within attorney correspondence or discovery requests. The documents reference the Middle District of Florida alongside the Southern District of Florida and Northern District of Georgia as jurisdictions whose investigatory files or communications with the Southern District of New York were being sought. One mention references a separate matter involving tobacco litigation sanctions being distributed to legal aid organizations in the Middle District. These are administrative references rather than evidence of substantive Epstein-related proceedings in that district.
