NOTICE OF CONTINUED PENDENCY
OF FEDERAL CRIMINAL ACTION
Defendant Jeffrey Epstein hereby notifies the Court of the continued
pendency of a federal criminal action against him, stating as follows:
On June 30, 2008, after defendant Jeffrey Epstein filed his motion to stay
IDE 121, he was sentenced in the state-court criminal case described in that motion
(State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 2006 CF 09454 AXX, Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County) (the "Florida Criminal Action"). As
explained below, the parallel federal criminal action against him described in that
motion (In re Grand Jury, No. FGJ 07-103(WPB), United States District Court for
the Southern District of Florida) (the "Federal Criminal Action"), remains pending.
On September 24, 2007, the United States Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of Florida ("USAO"), represented by Assistant United States
Attorney Ann C. Villafana, Esq., and Mr. Epstein, entered into a deferred-
prosecution agreement ("Agreement"), which the parties agreed to keep
confidential. Prior to entering into that Agreement, Ms. Villafana advised that she
had already prepared a federal criminal indictment against Mr. Epstein in the
Federal Criminal Action.
Under the Agreement, beginning on the date Mr. Epstein began serving his
sentence in the Florida Criminal Action, the USAO agreed to suspend its grand
jury investigation in the Federal Criminal Action. The USAO, however, retains the

right to reactivate the grand jury and indict Mr. Epstein should he breach any part
of the Agreement during its term, which runs for 33 months, beginning on the date
Mr. Epstein began serving his sentence in the Florida Criminal Action.
Accordingly, the Federal Criminal Action will remain pending against Mr. Epstein
for 33 months from June 30, 2008.
Mr. Epstein will provide the Court with a copy of the confidential
Agreement for its in-camera inspection at the Court's request.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein hereby notifies the Court of the
continued pendency of the Federal Criminal Action.
Respectfully submitted,
