89
+ A.
90
+ Mid-'90s.
91
+ Q.
92
+ And do you recall that Jeffrey
93
+ Epstein served as Les Wexner's money manager?
94
+ A.
95
+ I recall that Epstein was an
96
+ advisor to Les Wexner. I don't know in what
97
+ capacity.
98
+ And do you know if Jamie Dimon
99
+ and Les Wexner knew one another?
100
+ A.
101
+ I imagine they did, yes.
102
+ Have you ever met Les Wexner?
103
+ A.
104
+ Yes.
105
+ e.
106
+ In what context?
107
+ A.
108
+ Taking The Limited public.
109
+ That was before Mr. Dimon
110
+ joined the company, correct?
111
+ A.
112
+ Yes.
113
+ And when you took The Limited
114
+ public in the mid-'90s, you hadn't met
115
+ Jeffrey Epstein as part of that; is that
116
+ fair?
117
+ A.
118
+ My recollection is that's the
119
+ first time that I met him.
120
+ l.
121
+ So you believe you met him at
122
+ some point before Sandy Warner suggested that
123
+ you have a meeting with him; is that correct?

153
+ A.
154
+ Very briefly, yes.
155
+ Q.
156
+ And that would have been in
157
+ relation to taking The Limited public?
158
+ A.
159
+ I was visiting The Limited, and
160
+ my recollection is Epstein had an office
161
+ there, and I saw him for a couple minutes.
162
+ And is it fair at that time you
163
+ would -- you didn't know who he was?
164
+ A.
165
+ No.
166
+ Why would you imagine that
167
+ Jamie Dimon and Les Wexner knew one another?
168
+ A.
169
+ Both their involvements with
170
+ Ohio.
171
+ e.
172
+ What is Jamie Dimon's
173
+ involvement with Ohio?
174
+ A.
175
+ I think he worked for the bank
176
+ there.
177
+ e.
178
+ Did you have occasion to meet
179
+ with Les Wexner after 2000?
180
+ A.
181
+ Not that I recall.
182
+ e.
183
+ I want to talk about Labe
184

185

186
+ Do you know who that is?
187
+ Uh-huh, yes, I do.

+ don't know.
219
+ Q.
220
+ Irrespective of your
221
+ involvement with his accounts, the fact that
222
+ he had his accounts and the size of his
223
+ accounts at JPMorgan benefitted JPMorgan.
224
+ You would agree, right?
225
+ A.
226
+ I think no -- you know, I don't
227
+ think any single client is that important,
228
+ but he was a client of the bank.
229
+ And he continued to refer
230
+ clients to JPMorgan before, during and after
231
+ his incarceration, correct?
232
+ MR. GAIL: Objection.
233
+ THE WITNESS: I don't think he
234
+ referred clients to the bank. I met
235
+ clients through him, but I don't think
236
+ he was making a referral.
237
+ QUESTIONS BY MR.
238
+ Do you know who
239
+ McGraw
240
+ is?
241

242

243

245
+ A.
246
+ I don't.

+ Jeffrey Epstein?
281

282

283
+ Do you know whether JPMorgan
284
+ cooperated in the Florida investigation,
285
+ either on the state level or the federal
286
+ level, in the 2006 to 2008 time frame?
287

288

289

290
+ Were you ever asked whether
291
+ JPMorgan should cooperate in that
292
+ investigation?
293
+ A.
294
+ Not that I recall.

317
+ 1
318
+ you spoke with Jeffrey Epstein?
319
+ 2
320
+ A.
321
+ I became CEO of Barclays.
322
+ 3
323
+ e.
324
+ And what about your position as
325
+ 4
326
+ CEO of Barclays had anything to do with you
327
+ 5
328
+ no longer meeting with or communicating with
329
+ 6
330
+ Jeffrey Epstein?
331
+ 7
332
+ A.
333
+ Being CEO of a major British
334
+ bank is a very, very visible job, and I
335
+ 9 thought it was not appropriate to deal at all
336
+ 10
337
+ with Epstein in that role.
338
+ 11
339
+ 12
340
+ l.
341
+ By that point in time, did you
342
+ realize that Jeffrey Epstein had lied to you
343
+ 13
344
+ in the past about his lack of understanding
345
+ 14
346
+ 15
347
+ of the ages of some of the victims that had
348
+ accused him?
349
+ 16
350
+ A.
351
+ Yes.
352
+ 17
353

354

355
+ 20
356
+ 21
357
+ 22
358
+ 23
359
+ e.
360
+ And did that have anything to
361
+ do with your making a decision to stop
362
+ talking with him?
363
+ A.
364
+ Yeah. I think it became
365
+ increasingly that he had a very, very
366
+ terrible past, and I didn't want to be
367
+ associated with him.
368
+ 24
369
+ 25
370
+ When you were CEO of Barclays,
371
+ did you remain in contact with Prince Andrew?

+ Epstein's Island, 'Little St. Jeff's': A Hideaway Where Money Bought Influence

11
+ ST.
12
+ . V.I. — Jeffrey Epstein once described the United States Virgin Islands as "my favorite place to be."
13
+ When he was there, Mr. Epstein had a knack for getting his way, according to public records and interviews with residents and local
14
+ officials.
15
+ Mr. Epstein, the accused sex trafficker who committed suicide in a Manhattan jail this month, used these islands as a personal and
16
+ corporate hideaway, negotiating lucrative local tax breaks even as he faced federal investigations for sexual misconduct.
17
+ He cultivated close ties to the islands' political and financial elite. He employed a governor's wife. He hired an architecture firm owned by
18
+ that governor's uncle. He donated money, sponsored scholarships and even gave dozens of computers to a local lawmaker to distribute.
19
+ The islands became a haven for Mr. Epstein. His private plane would fly him to St.
20
+ international airport, where he would board a
21
+ helicopter that whisked him to his Little St. James and Great St. James islands. Once there, he was known to entertain famous friends and,
22
+ his accusers have said in court filings, traffic underage girls for sex.
23
+ While federal authorities spent years criminally investigating Mr. Epstein, a spokesman for the local police department said it had no
24
+ records of having visited his Virgin Islands properties.
25
+ "It was kind of accepted," said Sasha Bouis, who used to run a floating restaurant anchored near Great St. James. "There was just this
26
+ creepy old billionaire living out there."
27
+ Mr. Epstein's mansion on Little St. James. He paid $7.95 million for Little St. James in 1998 and spent millions more developing his two islands. Gabriel

34
+ Since Mr. Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in July, his island operations have been under scrutiny. A few days after his Aug. 10
35
+ death, F.B.I. agents and New York Police Department investigators raided Little St. James, which some locals say they had nicknamed
36
+ "Pedophile Island."
37
+ Federal prosecutors handling Mr. Epstein's sex-trafficking case have said the investigation will not end with his death. In recent lawsuits,
38
+ his accusers have lodged fresh claims about how they were sexually assaulted on his islands.
39
+ In the weeks ahead, the wrangling over Mr. Epstein's assets is likely to play out on St. |
40
+ estate filed his will in court on St.
41
+ and said he had more than $570 million in assets.

43
+ Mr. Epstein arrived in the Virgin Islands in 1998, when he paid $7.95 million for Little St. James, a roughly 70-acre island. Mr. Epstein
44
+ called it "Little St. Jeff's." In 2016, he bought the larger Great St. James for $17.5 million.
45
+ Over the years, he spent millions more developing the islands, including building a villa with a library, a Japanese bathhouse and a movie
46
+ theater.
47
+ His construction projects led to repeated clashes between Mr. Epstein and the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural
48
+ Resources, according to paperwork related to his work permits reviewed by The New York Times.
49
+ A memo from the agency's wildlife chief in 2010 noted that Mr. Epstein's properties had "a long history of egregious and blatant disregard
50
+ for environmental regulations." Projects had "introduced several nonnative species to the island." The arrival of one invasive species, the
51
+ Cuban tree frog, led to a recommendation that all landscaping and building materials be inspected, the memo said.
52
+ Mr. Epstein called Little St. James Island "Little St. Jeff's." Gabriella N. Baez for The New York Times
53
+ Mr. Epstein's lawyers resolved some disputes by paying fines, retroactively applying for permits and making donations, sometimes using
54
+ funds from his charities.
55
+ In 2016, Mr. Epstein reached a settlement with the agency over unapproved construction projects on Great St. James. Officials soon
56
+ accused his company of violating the agreement by not removing a beach bar cabana and by expanding a driveway, despite a stop-work

66
+ RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 3
67
+ In addition to and specifically incorporating its foregoing General Objections and
68
+ Objections to Definitions, JPMC objects to Interrogatory No. 3 because it would be more
69
+ convenient, less burdensome, and less expensive to obtain the identity of individuals at JPMC
70
+ through requests for production under Rule 34. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2)(C)(i). JPMC also objects
71
+ to Interrogatory No. 3 because the terms "high net worth," "introduction," "facilitated," and
72
+ "relationship" are vague and ambiguous.
73
+ Subject to and without waiving its objections, and based upon a reasonable and diligent
74
+ investigation, JPMC states that Mr. Epstein had some involvement in the establishment of
75
+ customer relationships between JPMC's private bank and Ghislaine Maxwell and Kathryn
76
+ Ruemmier. If JPMC learns of others, it will supplement this answer.

82
+ RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 4
83
+ In addition to and specifically incorporating its foregoing General Objections and
84
+ Objections to Definitions, JPMC objects to Interrogatory No. 4 on the grounds that it is overly
85
+ broad, unduly burdensome, and seeks information that is not relevant to any party's claims or
86
+ defenses. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(I). JPMC also objects to Interrogatory No. 4 because it seeks

19
+ BANK, N.A.'S MOTION FOR ORDER AUTHORIZING ALTERNATIVE SERVICE OF
20
+ SUBPOENA ON THIRD PARTY CELESTINO A.
21
+ JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMC") respectfully submits this memorandum of law in
22
+ support of its motion for an order authorizing alternative service pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
23
+ Procedure Rule 45 in order to serve a subpoena for testimony and documents (the "Subpoena")
24
+ via email on third party Celestino A.
25
+ INTRODUCTION
26
+ , Sr. ("'Mr.
27
+ Despite diligent efforts over the past month to serve the Subpoena on Mr.
28
+ , JPMC
29
+ has been unable to do so. As detailed below, JPMC attempted to personally serve the Subpoena
30
+
31
+
32
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 145 Filed 05/15/23 Page 2 of 6
33
+ on Mr.
34
+ on four different occasions. No attempt has been successful to date, and there is no
35
+ guarantee that personal service will succeed going forward with Mr.
36
+ However, JPMC does have a means of communicating with Mr.
37
+ Specifically,
38
+ JPMC's local counsel in the United States Virgin Islands ("USVI"), Kevin A. Rames, has been
39
+ able to obtain Mr.
40
+ known email address and send correspondence to that address. JPMC
41
+ thus proposes using this email address as an alternative means of service of the Subpoena. As Mr.
42
+ undoubtedly will receive actual notice of the Subpoena if it is served via email to this
43
+ address, JPMC respectfully asks this Court to enter an order authorizing JPMC to serve Mr.
44
+ via email.
45
+ II. RELEVANT FACTUAL BACKGROUND
46
+ A.
47
+ JPMC's Ability to Depose Mr.
48
+ is Integral to this Case
49
+ Mr.
50
+ served eleven terms, or twenty-two years, as a Senator in the USVI Legislature.
51
+ Mr.
52
+ is currently a member of the Board of Governors of the Virgin Islands Port Authority
53
+ (VIPA"). One of Plaintiffs' key contentions in this case is that Defendant JPMC helped Jeffrey
54
+ Epstein fraudulently conceal allegedly illegal conduct from the USVI Government. Second
55
+ Amended Complaint ("SAC""), ECF. No. 119, at 9| 123. Mr.
56
+ having worked for the USVI
57
+ Government, is uniquely situated in this fact discovery stage to help JPMC uncover the extent of
58
+ the USVI Government's knowledge of the allegedly illegal conduct. As such, Defendants' ability
59
+ to depose Mr.
60
+ is integral to its ability to litigate this case.
61
+ B.
62
+ JPMC Attempts Unsuccessfully to Serve the Subpoena on Mr.
63
+ On May 1, 2023, JPMC issued the Subpoena to Mr.
64
+ requiring him to (i) produce
65
+ certain documents and records and (ii) appear for an in-person deposition (attached as Exhibit I).
66
+ See Declaration of Felicia Ellsworth (the "Ellsworth Declaration"), 1 2 (attached as Exhibit 2).
67
+ JPMC, through its process server, diligently, but unsuccessfully, attempted to serve Mr.
68
+ 2
69
+
70
+
71
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 145 Filed 05/15/23 Page 3 of 6
72
+ with the Subpoena on April 24, 2023. See Affidavit of Marlon
73
+ (the "
74
+ Affidavit") (attached as Exhibit 3). JPMC's local counsel in the USVI, Kevin A. Rames, spoke
75
+ with Mr.
76
+ via his cell phone on April 27, 2023. Ellsworth Declaration, 9 4. Mr. |
77
+ informed Mr. Rames that he would cooperate with service by the process server at any time before
78
+ May 7, 2023. Id. Thereafter on May 2, 6, and 7, 2023, JPMC, through its process server,
79
+ diligently, but unsuccessfully, again attempted to serve Mr. I
80
+ with the Subpoena. See
81
+ Affidavit.
82
+ Despite multiple efforts, JPMC was unable to personally serve Mr. L
83
+ with the
84
+ Subpoena. This is because Mr.
85
+ actively evaded service of process on four different
86
+ occasions and subsequently failed to respond to multiple follow-up telephone calls from Mr.
87
+ Rames. Ellsworth Declaration, 11 6-7. On May 8, 2023, the process server called Mr.
88
+ , who
89
+ stated that he was at the airport and going to be out of territory until May 23, 2023. Id., 18. While
90
+ JPMC's process server will be at the airport on May 23, 2023 to again attempt personal service on
91
+ Mr.
92
+ there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed. However, Mr. Rames has been
93
+ able to send correspondence to Mr.
94
+ via his known email address within the last week. Id.,
95
+ 99.
96
+ III. ARGUMENT
97
+ A.
98
+ Service via Email is a Reliable and Expeditious Means of Service that is
99
+ Likely to Reach Mr.
100
+ Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45, this Court may authorize "alternative
101
+ service that is reasonably designed to ensure that a witness actually receives a subpoena." See
102
+ SEC v. Pence, 322 F.R.D. 450, 454 (S.D.N.Y. 2017) (citations omitted); see also Cordius Trust v.
103
+ Kummerfeld, 2000 WL 10268, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 3, 2000) (authorizing alternative service of
104
+ subpoena that "reasonably insures actual receipt of the subpoena"). Alternative service is
105
+ 3
106
+
107
+
108
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 145 Filed 05/15/23 Page 4 of 6
109
+ appropriate where it "reasonably insures actual receipt of the subpoena by the witness" and "is
110
+ reasonably calculated under the circumstances to provide [the witness] with both notice and an
111
+ opportunity to present objections." See JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. v. IDW Grp., LLC, 2009 WL
112
+ 1313259, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. May 11, 2009) (citations omitted); see also In re Bibox Grp. Holdings
113
+ Ltd. Secs. Litig., 2020 WL 4586819, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2020) ("[I]n order to comply with
114
+ due process requirements, alternative service must provide notice that is reasonably calculated
115
+ under all the circumstances, to apprise interested parties of the pendency of the action.") (citations
116
+ and quotations marks omitted).
117
+ This district has held that service via email complies with constitutional notions of due
118
+ process, especially where the facts show that the party to be served likely will receive the process
119
+ served at the given email address. See NYKCool A.B. v. Pacific Int'l Servs., Inc., 66 F.Supp.3d
120
+ 385, 391 (S.D.N.Y. 2014) ("As a general matter, in those cases where service by email has been
121
+ judicially approved, the movant supplied the Court with some facts indicating that the person to
122
+ be served would be likely to receive the summons and complaint at the given email address."); see
123
+ also SEC v. David, 2020 WL 703464, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 12, 2020) ("IT]he Court is persuaded
124
+ that alternative service by email is warranted in this case."); Sulzer Mixpac AG v. Medenstar, 312
125
+ F.R.D. 329, 331 (S.D.N.Y. 2015) ("[T]he Court grants plaintiff's motion to serve defendant at the
126
+ email address listed on Medenstar's Internet homepage...."); see also Pearson Educ. Inc. v. Doe
127
+ 1, 2019 WL 6498305, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 2, 2019) ("Email service has also repeatedly been
128
+ found by courts to meet the requirements of due process."); F.T.C. v. PCCare247 Inc., 2013 WL
129
+ 841037, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. March 7, 2013) ("Service by email alone comports with due process
130
+ where a plaintiff demonstrates that the email is likely to reach the defendant.").

132
+
133
+
134
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 145 Filed 05/15/23 Page 5 of 6
135
+ Moreover, because JPMC's process server was able to make contact with Mr.
136
+ via
137
+ his cell phone, Mr.
138
+ already has knowledge of the lawsuit. This district has held that,
139
+ "Service by alternative means is all the more reasonable where a defendant demonstrably already
140
+ has knowledge of the lawsuit." Marvici v. Roche Facilities Maintenance LLC, 2021 WL 5323748,
141
+ at *5 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 6, 2021) (citing SEC v. Tome, 833 F.2d 1086, 1093 (2d Cir. 1987)).
142
+ Finally, as the USVI Government argued in its own motion for alternative subpoena
143
+ service, ECF No. 132, this Court has allowed alternative service where multiple attempts at
144
+ personal service have failed, see SEC v. David, No. 19-cv-9013, 2020 WL 703464, at *1-2
145
+ (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 12, 2020) (Rakoff, J.), or where the parties are "approaching close of discovery,"
146
+ In re Petrobras Securities Litig., No. 14-CV-9662, 2016 WL 908644, at *1-2 (S.D.N.Y. March 4,
147
+ 2016) (Rakoff, J.) (authorizing alternative service by email and overnight mail 56 days before the
148
+ discovery cutoff). As explained above, JPMC diligently attempted personal service of the
149
+ Subpoena on Mr.
150
+ multiple times but was unable to do so, as Mr.
151
+ actively evaded
152
+ service. In addition, fact discovery in our case closes in just fifteen days.
153
+ As such, alternative service is more than warranted here. Service of the Subpoena on Mr.
154
+ via email will comply with constitutional notions of due process and provide Mr.
155
+ with sufficient notice of the Subpoena.
156
+ IV.
157
+ CONCLUSION
158
+ For the foregoing reasons, JPMC respectfully asks the Court to enter an order authorizing
159
+ service of the Subpoena on Mr.
160
+ _by email. If the Court enters an order authorizing alternative
161
+ service of the Subpoena on Mr.
162
+ , JPMC will serve the Subpoena on Mr.
163
+ at his known
164
+ email address.

25
+ JED S. RAKOFF, U.S.D.J.:
26
+ Before the Court is the motion of non-party the New York Times
27
+ ("the Times") to unseal five exhibits that were filed in the abovecaptioned actions. The exhibits contain excerpts of the deposition
28
+ of plaintiff Jane Doe 1 ("Doe"). Three of the exhibits were filed
29
+ in connection with summary judgment briefing in the underlying
30
+ 1
31
+
32
+
33
+ Document 367 Filed 07/30/24 Page 2 of 23
34
+ actions and all contain the same portion of Doe's deposition
35
+ related to her alleged non-consensual interactions with Jes
36
+ Staley. The other two exhibits were filed in connection with
37
+ plaintiffs' motion for class certification and contain a different
38
+ portion of Doe's deposition, where she recounts how she was
39
+ initially recruited by Jeffrey Epstein. During the course of
40
+ litigation, the Court granted the class certification motion, but
41
+ never ruled on the summary judgment motions because the case
42
+ settled while the motions were pending.
43
+ The Times argues that the common law and First Amendment right
44
+ of access to court filings mandate unsealing. Doe opposes unsealing
45
+ all five exhibits, arguing that doing so would risk revealing her
46
+ identity and would force her to relive her traumatic experiences.
47
+ Plaintiff Government of the United States Virgin Islands opposes
48
+ unsealing on similar grounds. Staley opposes unsealing only the
49
+ summary judgment transcripts, arguing that they are not judicial
50
+ documents, because the court never ruled on that motion, and that
51
+ he has his own privacy interest in keeping Doe's untested
52
+ allegations sealed.
53
+ For the reasons set forth below, the Court grants in part and
54
+ denies in part the Times' motion.

58
+ Document 367 Filed 07/30/24 Page 3 of 23
59
+ I. Legal Standard
60
+ "Federal courts employ two related but distinct presumptions
61
+ in favor of public access to court proceedings and records: a
62
+ strong form rooted in the First Amendment, and a slightly weaker
63
+ form based in federal common law." United States ex rel. United
64
+ States v. Am. Univ. of Beirut, 718 F. App'x 80, 81 (2d Cir. 2018).
65
+ Both presumptions follow a three-step analysis, with their first
66
+ step in common, viz., the court must first determine "whether the
67
+ [filings arel judicial document[sl, as only judicial documents are
68
+ subject to a presumptive right of public access, whether on common
69
+ law or First Amendment grounds." United States v. HSBC Bank USA,
70
+ N.A., 863 F.3d 125, 134 (2d Cir. 2017).
71
+ At the second step of the First Amendment analysis, documents
72
+ must satisfy one of two tests. Under one test, the right of access
73
+ applies to documents that "have historically been open to the press
74
+ and general public and
75
+ •. public access [to those documents]
76
+ plays a significant positive role in the functioning of the

102
+ Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 120 (internal quotation marks omitted).

127
+ II. Discussion
128
+ The exhibits the Times seeks to unseal are divided into two
129
+ categories: (a) the summary judgment papers for the motion mooted
130
+ by settlement and (b) the filings attached to the motion for class
131
+ certification granted by the Court. Each category is discussed in
132
+ turn.
133
+ A. Exhibits Attached to the Motion for Summary Judgment
134
+ 1. Step One: Judicial Document Status
135
+ As noted, the threshold requirement for the First Amendment
136
+ or common law right of access to apply is that the item under
137
+ scrutiny must constitute a judicial document. Staley argues that
138
+ the summary judgment transcripts do not satisfy this requirement,
139
+ because the case settled while the summary judgment motions were
140
+ pending and before the Court ever ruled on the matters. See Staley
141
+ Opp. (Dkt. 293) at 1-3.
142
+ To be a judicial document, an item "must be relevant to the
143
+ performance of the judicial function and useful in the judicial
144
+ 5
145
+
146
+
147
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 367 Filed 07/30/24 Page 6 of 23
148
+ process." United States v. Amodeo, 44 F.3d 141, 145 (2d Cir. 1995)
149
+ ("Amodeo I"). In general, documents filed with the court that "ask
150
+ the court to grant (or reject) some relief," such as "pleadings
151
+ and summary judgment papers," satisfy this test. HSBC Bank, 863
152
+ F.3d at 141-42. But "the mere filing of a paper or document with
153
+ the court is insufficient to render that paper a judicial document
154
+ subject to the right of public access." Trump v. Deutsche Bank AG,
155
+ 940 F.3d 146, 150 (2d Cir. 2019) (citation and internal quotation
156
+ marks omitted).
157
+ The Second Circuit has held that summary judgment papers
158
+ qualify as judicial documents, at least as a general matter. See
159
+ Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 121
160
+ (holding that "documents submitted to a
161
+ court for its consideration in a summary judgment motion are-as a
162
+ matter of law-judicial documents" even though the summary judgment
163
+ motion was still pending and had not yet been ruled on);
164
+ Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41, 45 (2d. 2019) (finding denial of motion for
165
+ summary judgment does not abrogate judicial documents status even
166
+ when documents were not relied upon in ruling). Furthermore, the
167
+ Second Circuit has held, at least with respect to pleadings that
168
+ were filed under seal, "the fact that a suit is ultimately settled
169
+ without a judgment on the merits does not impair .
170
+ • judicial
171
+ record status." Bernstein v. Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann
172
+ ILP, 814 F.3d 132, 140 (2d Cir. 2016) (internal quotation marks
173
+ omitted). However, the Second Circuit has not addressed the

+
177
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 367 Filed 07/30/24 Page 7 of 23
178
+ question of whether the settlement of a case while a summary
179
+ judgment motion is pending impacts the judicial document status of
180
+ those
181
+ moving papers.
182
+ Other courts
183
+ to address the question have split on the issue.
184
+ The Fourth Circuit has recently held that papers filed with a
185
+ summary judgment motion continue to be judicial documents even
186
+ where the case settles before the motion is ruled on. See United
187
+ States ex rel. Oberg v. Nelnet, Inc., 105 F.4th 161, 173 (4th Cir.
188
+ 2024). District courts in the Second Circuit that have considered
189
+ the issue have come out different ways. Compare l
190
+ V. Maxwell,
191
+ 2020 WL 133570, at *2, 4 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 13, 2020) ("[U]ndecided
192
+ motions and the papers associated with them are not judicial
193
+ documents, " since they are
194
+ not part of any "live controversy to
195
+ which the [Article III] judicial power can extend"), In re IBM
196
+ Arbitration Agreement Litig., 2022 WL 3043220, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Aug.
197
+ 2, 2022) (summary judgment filings mooted by granting prior motion

+ or "ability I| to influence this Court's ruling on [thel motion

201
+ 3359737, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 15, 2022) (arguing that Maxwell
202
+ improperly conflates the first two steps of the right to access
203
+ analysis and that summary judgment filings for mooted motions are
204
+ judicial documents because of potential relevancy to judicial
205
+ function), Dawson v. Merck & Co., 2021 WL 242148, at *6 (E.D.N.Y.

+
209
+ Document 367 Filed 07/30/24 Page 8 of 23
210
+ Jan. 24, 2021) (documents attached to a Daubert motion deemed
211
+ "judicial documents
212
+ • notwithstanding settlement by the
213
+ parties").
214
+ After carefully considering
215
+ these conflicting precedents,
216
+ this Court concludes that treating the documents here at issue as
217
+ judicial documents is the correct approach and more consistent
218
+ with Second Circuit precedent. Although in a context different
219
+ from summary judgment, the Second Circuit has held that an item
220
+ may be considered a judicial document irrespective of whether any
221
+ court has actually relied on the document in issuing a ruling. See
222
+ 1, 929 F.3d at 50. The "inquiry is only whether the documents
223
+ are relevant
224
+ to the performance of the judicial function, not
225
+ whether they were relied upon." Id. The Second Circuit has also
226
+ emphasized that relevancy in this context is measured by potential,
227
+ not actual, effect. See id. at 49 ("A document is thus 'relevant
228
+ to the performance of the judicial function' if it would reasonably
229
+ have the tendency to influence a district court's ruling on a
230
+ motion or in the exercise of its supervisory powers, without regard
231
+ to which way the court ultimately rules or whether the document
232
+ ultimately in fact influences the court's decision.") (emphasis in
233
+ text); Olson v. Major League
234
+ Baseball, 29 F.4th 59, 89 (2d Cir.
235
+ 2022)
236
+ (same). Since only potential and not actual reliance is
237
+ required for judicial document status, the fact that a summary
238
+ judgment motion is never ruled on prior to settlement does not
239
+ 8
240

242
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR
243
+ Document 367 Filed 07/30/24 Page 9 of 23
244
+ affect the judicial document status of exhibits filed in connection
245
+ therewith.
246
+ Cases that hold to the contrary reason that, even if the items
247
+ may have been judicial documents when filed, they lose this status
248
+ once a
249
+ settlement
250
+ has taken place. This is because the "Article
251
+ III's judicial power" only extends to "actual controversies
252
+ arising between adverse litigants," but once a case settles no
253
+ such controversy exists. Maxwell, 2020 WL 133570, at *2; see also
254
+ In re IBM, 2022 WL 3043220, at *2 (similar). These cases further
255
+ reason that whatever need there may be to oversee the functioning
256
+ of the judicial power evaporates once a case settles and no future
257
+ ruling is possible, such that the reason for the right of access
258
+ dissipates
259
+ as well.
260
+ However, this first argument "conflates the first two steps
261
+ of the [public right to access] framework." Lohnn, 2022 WL 3359737,
262
+ at *4. Second Circuit precedent suggests the presence of a live
263
+ controversy only "speak[s] to the weight of the presumption rather
264
+ than whether the documents are judicial documents in the first
265
+ place." Id. at *15. A contrary rule cannot be squared with the
266
+ Second Circuit's
267
+ decision in Bernstein, which found that sealed
268
+ pleadings
269
+ remained judicial documents even though the case was
270
+ mooted by settlement before any ruling on a motion to dismiss. 814
271
+ F.3d at 142.
272
+ 9
273
+
274
+
275
+
276
+ The decision in Bernstein follows from the fact that the
277
+ purpose of the right of access is broader than just monitoring
278
+ actual decision-making. The judicial monitoring function that the
279
+ presumption serves
280
+ encompasses other interests, such as the right
281
+ of "the public [tol discern the prevalence of certain types of
282
+ cases, the nature of the parties to particular kinds of actions,
283
+ information about the settlement rates in different areas of law,
284
+ and the types of materials that are likely to be sealed."
285
+ Bernstein, 814 F.3d at 140 (citation and internal quotation marks
286
+ omitted)); see also Dawson, 2021 WL 242148, at *5 (E.D.N.Y. Jan.
287
+ 24, 2021) ("[I]nsights into the judicial process are essential to
288
+ the public's understanding of, and ability to monitor, the
289
+ functioning of the judiciary, even though no actual or potential
290
+ judicial decision-making is involved."). These other interests are
291
+ similarly implicated by documents attached to a mooted summary
292
+ judgment motion.
293
+ Moreover, if settlement vitiated judicial document status, an
294
+ oddity would arise in light of the Second Circuit's decision in
295
+ Lugosch. In Lugosch, the court held that filings attached to
296
+ motions for summary judgment are judicial documents and publicly
297
+ accessible even when the motion is still pending. 435 F.3d at 121.
298
+ If the position proposed by Staley were correct, such filings would
299
+ retrospectively lose
300
+ judicial document status and become
301
+ inaccessible at any moment the case settled before a ruling. Since
302
+ 10
303
+
304
+
305
+
306
+ the public would never know which cases may settle ahead of time,
307
+ this would incentivize filing a motion to unseal the moment a
308
+ motion for summary judgment is filed, undesirably increasing
309
+ burdens on courts
310
+ to address such motions while briefing is
311
+ ongoing. And in a great number of cases the motion to unseal may
312
+ be filed out of fear that the opportunity to do so later would be
313
+ lost, rather than any ultimate desire for the sealed materials.
314
+ Thus, for the foregoing reasons, the Court concludes the
315
+ deposition excerpts here in question constitute judicial
316
+ documents.
317
+ 2. Step Iwo: First Amendment Right of Access
318
+ Even where an item qualifies as a judicial document, the First
319
+ Amendment right of access attaches only where the document
320
+ satisfies at least one of two tests. Under the first test, the
321
+ right attaches to judicial documents that "have historically been
322
+ open to the press and general public" and to which "public access
323
+ plays a significant positive role in the functioning of the
324
+ particular process in question." Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 120. Under
325
+ the second test, the right attaches if the documents "are derived
326
+ from or [are]
327
+ a necessary corollary of the public capacity to
328
+ attend the relevant proceedings." Id. If the First Amendment right
329
+ applies, it does so with the highest weight possible and sealing
330
+ the documents can only be justified with "specific, on-the-record
331
+ 11
332
+
333
+
334
+
335
+ findings that sealing is necessary to preserve higher values and
336
+ is narrowly tailored to achieve that aim." Id. at 124.
337
+ Applying either test, the Second Circuit has held that "there
338
+ exists a qualified First Amendment right of access to documents
339
+ submitted to the court in connection with a summary judgment
340
+ motion." Id.; see also
341
+ 929 F.3d at 47 (same) • However,
342
+ neither the Second Circuit, nor any district court in the circuit,
343
+ has addressed whether the First Amendment right continues to apply
344
+ when a summary judgment motion is mooted by settlement. See, e.g.,
345
+ Lohnn, 2022 WL 3359737, at *6 n. 4 (declining to address the question
346
+ since the First Amendment right of access was not raised by any
347
+ party, intervenor, or amicus). But, as mentioned above, the Fourth
348
+ Circuit has recently addressed the question, ruling that First
349
+ Amendment right does apply regardless of the settlement. See
350
+ Nelnet,
351
+ 105 F.4th at 173. The Court finds the Fourth Circuit's
352
+ reasoning persuasive and in line with Second Circuit precedent.
353
+ According to the Fourth Circuit, "It]he First Amendment right
354
+ of access to summary judgment materials does not depend on judicial
355
+ resolution of the summary judgment motion or judicial reliance on
356
+ the documents in resolving the motion." Id. at 172. This is because
357
+ "It]he public has an interest
358
+ in ensuring basic fairness and
359
+ deterring official misconduct not only in the outcome of certain
360
+ proceedings, but also in the very proceedings themselves." Id. at
361
+ 172-73. For cases that settle, "it is up to the public to decide
362
+ 12
363
+
364
+
365
+
366
+ "why the case was brought (and fought) [] and what exactly was at
367
+ stake in it,'" including the question of why the case was settled.
368
+ Id. at 173 (quoting Mueller v. Raemisch, 740 F.3d 1128, 1135-36
369
+ (7th Cir. 2014)). Thus, access to filings attached to mooted
370
+ motions satisfy the second test for the First Amendment, as a
371
+ "'necessary
372
+ corollary' of the right to attend protected
373
+ proceedings." Id. at 173 (quoting Hartford Courant Co. v.
374
+ Pellegrino, 380 F.3d 83, 93 (2d Cir. 2004)) .
375
+ This position is consistent with reasoning adopted by the
376
+ Second Circuit. The Second Circuit has suggested that "summary
377
+ judgment is an adjudication, and
378
+ an adjudication is a formal act
379
+ of government, the basis of which should, absent exceptional
380
+ circumstances, be subject to public scrutiny." Lugosch, 435 F.3d
381
+ at 124 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Since
382
+ "nothing about [thel timing" of a ruling on summary judgment is
383
+ relevant to whether the First Amendment right applies, id. at 121,
384
+ it is apparent that the First Amendment right "attaches immediately
385
+ upon [thel filing [of summary judgment papers]." Nelnet, 105 F.4th
386
+ at 172; see also Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 122 ("[R]elevant documents
387
+ which are submitted to, and accepted by, a court of competent
388
+ jurisdiction in the course of adjudicatory proceedings,
389
+ become
390
+ documents to which the presumption of public access applies,
391
+ framing that has nothing to do with how a court ultimately comes
392
+ out on a motion.") (internal quotation marks omitted).
393
+ 13
394
+
395
+
396
+
397
+ The Second Circuit's rule in Bernstein also weighs in favor
398
+ of finding that the First Amendment right of access applies here.
399
+ Pleadings in settled cases allow "the public to understand the
400
+ activity of the
401
+ federal courts, enhancel] the court system's
402
+ accountability and legitimacy, and inform[l the public of matters
403
+ of public concern." Bernstein 814 F.3d at 141. "Conversely, a
404
+ sealed complaint leaves the public unaware that a claim has been
405
+ leveled and that state power has been invoked-and public resources
406
+ spent-in an effort to resolve the dispute." Id. Since "the district
407
+ courts routinely engage in adjudicatory duties even in connection
408
+ with complaints that are dismissed or settled, " a public right of
409
+ access to monitor courts is warranted even where "speedy settlement
410
+ of the claim mean[s] that the court [will] not adjudicate the
411
+ merits of the case." Id. at 143.
412
+ The same broad rationales apply to mooted summary judgment
413
+ motions. Public access to documents attached to such motions allow
414
+ for a better understanding of the courts, improving public
415
+ perception and legitimacy, and informing the public of matters of
416
+ concern, including how public resources are being spent. These
417
+ documents may also help the public to understand why and how
418
+ settlement
419
+ was reached.
420
+ For example, a party's review of its
421
+ adversary's collected
422
+ evidence and arguments after discovery may
423
+ be sufficient incentive to force settlement.
424
+ 14
425
+
426
+
427
+
428
+ Finally, the analogy between trial and summary judgment
429
+ adjudication
430
+ helps to understand why the presumption applies
431
+ regardless of settlement. The First Amendment right of access to
432
+ judicial documents
433
+ "derived from or a necessary corollary of
434
+ the capacity to attend the relevant proceedings." Hartford Courant
435
+ Co. v.
436
+ Pellegrino, 380 F.3d 83, 93 (2d Cir. 2004). "Where no
437
+ hearing is held," as is the case for summary judgment, "access to
438
+ written documents filed in connection with pretrial motions is
439
+ particularly important" since the public otherwise lacks any
440
+ ability to monitor court activity. Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 124
441
+ (internal quotation marks omitted). If a case settles in the midst
442
+ of trial, all exhibits introduced to that point would remain in
443
+ the public record regardless of that fact. A summary judgment
444
+ motion is an alternative to a resolution at trial, and so the fact
445
+ that a
446
+ settlement makes such a motion moot similarly should not
447
+ affect the public's right of access to exhibits that have already
448
+ been filed.
449
+ For the aforementioned reasons, the Court finds the first
450
+ Amendment right of access to apply to summary judgment filings
451
+ regardless of whether the motion was mooted by settlement. Because
452
+ the Court finds the First Amendment right attaches, it need not
453
+ consider the weight of any common-law right of access to these
454
+ documents.
455
+ 15
456
+
457
+
458
+
459
+ 3. Countervailing Interests to the First Amendment Right
460
+ Since the First Amendment right applies to the three exhibits
461
+ attached to the summary judgment motions, sealing these excerpts
462
+ can only be justified with "specific, on-the-record findings that
463
+ sealing is necessary to preserve higher values and is narrowly
464
+ tailored to achieve that aim." Lugosch, 435 F.3d at 124. The
465
+ "privacy interests of those who resist disclosure" are one such
466
+ higher value. S.E.C. v. TheStreet.com, 273 F.3d 222, 232 (2d Cir.
467
+ 2001).
468
+ Both Staley and Doe assert privacy interests. Staley argues
469
+ his interest is in "keeping Doe's false and uncontested testimony
470
+ confidential" since unsealing the excerpts would not allow him any
471
+ "fair opportunity to respond to any accusations contained"
472
+ therein. Staley Opp. (Dkt. 293) at 4. For her part, Doe argues
473
+ that her identity as a survivor of sexual assault as well as her
474
+ related psychological and emotional wellbeing overcome the First
475
+ Amendment presumption of access. Doe Opp. (Dkt. 292) at 2-3. Upon
476
+ particularized review of the excerpted testimony in the exhibits,
477
+ the Court finds these interests outweigh the public right to access
478
+ the documents in their entirety.
479
+ Doe's privacy interest by itself warrants complete sealing of
480
+ the three exhibits. "In determining the weight to be accorded an
481
+ assertion of a right of privacy, courts should first consider the
482
+ degree to which the subject matter is traditionally considered
483
+ 16
484
+
485
+
486
+
487
+ private rather than public. . . . The nature and degree of injury
488
+ must also be weighed. This will entail consideration . . . of the
489
+ sensitivity of the information and the subject." Amodeo II, 71
490
+ F.3d at 1051. Protecting the identity of sexual assault survivors
491
+ and the details of their assaults is traditionally considered
492
+ private and has been widely recognized as a compelling reason to
493
+ limit public access to judicial documents. See, e.g.,
494
+ V.
495
+ Warden of Attica Corr. Facility, 2020 W 6866403, at *2 (S.D.N.Y.
496
+ Nov. 23, 2020) ("[P]rotecting the identity of the sexual assault
497
+ victim [l provides a compelling reason to limit such access.");
498
+ Kemp v. Noeth, 2021 WL 1512712, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 15, 2021)
499
+ (same) ;
500
+ v. Dershowitz, 2020 WL 5439623, at *2 (S.D.N.Y.
501
+ Sept. 9, 2020) ("[Countervailing] interests are particularly acute
502
+ given that the psychological and emotional wellbeing of survivors
503
+ of alleged sexual
504
+ assaults may be implicated by such a broad
505
+ disclosure.").
506
+ Given
507
+ the specific, graphic detail of the alleged nonconsensual activity that Doe describes in these excerpts, the
508
+ privacy interest Doe has in non-disclosure of her testimony is
509
+ robust. Unsealing these documents would force Doe "to relive these
510
+ traumatic moments from her deposition publicly, and the mere
511
+ redaction
512
+ of
513
+ her name would not protect
514
+ her
515
+ from retraumatization." Doe Opp. (Dkt. 292) at 3. Moreover, Doe's basic
516
+ accusation that she was
517
+ sexually assaulted by Staley is already in
518
+ 17
519
+
520
+
521
+
522
+ the public record, as is Staley's denial. The further information
523
+ contained in the excerpts serves little value aside from
524
+ "cater[ing] to a morbid craving for that which is sensational and
525
+ impure," to which "Iclourts have long declined to allow public
526
+ access." Amodeo II, 71 F.3d at 1051 (internal quotation marks
527
+ omitted) .
528
+ Nor would "targeted redactions of identifying information,
529
+ rather than wholesale withholding" suffice as a narrowly tailored
530
+ means to serving Doe's privacy interest, as the Times suggests.
531
+ Times Reply (Dkt. 294) at 1. The Court has reviewed the relevant
532
+ excerpts and finds that the extent of redactions needed to protect
533
+ Doe's relevant privacy interests would render what
534
+ remains
535
+ of
536
+ little value. Where privacy interests require redactions
537
+ so
538
+ systematic that unsealing a document is "more likely to mislead
539
+ than I] inform the public," as
540
+ would be the case here, sealing the
541
+ entire document is the more appropriate course. Amodeo II, 71 E.3d
542
+ at 1052.
543
+ Even
544
+ assuming, arguendo, that Doe's interests are not
545
+ independently sufficient to overcome the First Amendment right of
546
+ access,
547
+ Staley's privacy interests are also compelling and would,
548
+ alongside Doe's interests, jointly warrant keeping the exhibits
549
+ under seal. When determining the weight of an individual's privacy
550
+ interest,
551
+ "[t]he
552
+ court
553
+ should consider the reliability of the
554
+ information. Raw, unverified information should not be as readily
555
+ 18
556
+
557
+
558
+
559
+ disclosed as matters that are verified. Similarly, a court may
560
+ consider whether the nature of the materials is such that there is
561
+ a fair opportunity for the subject to respond to any accusations
562
+ contained therein." Id. at 1051.
563
+ These
564
+ considerations clearly militate against disclosure
565
+ here. As Staley points out, the deposition testimony was taken
566
+ before he was even made a party to the case, so his counsel never
567
+ had the opportunity to cross-examine Doe about her claims. Staley
568
+ Opp. (Dkt. 293) at 1. Indeed, a deposition of Doe by Staley's
569
+ counsel had been scheduled at the time the case settled. Id. at 1-
570
+ 2. Thus, unsealing her deposition would leave Staley devoid of any
571
+ opportunity to respond to any allegations contained therein.
572
+ The Times contends that "Staley is not an innocent third party
573
+ who somehow
574
+ finds himself caught up in a civil case in which he
575
+ has no real interest in the outcome." Times Reply (Dkt. 294) at 5.
576
+ This argument, however, ignores the fact that Doe never brought
577
+ any claim against Staley and that Staley was only brought into the
578
+ case via a third-party complaint filed by JPMorgan. Indeed, Doe's
579
+ original complaint did not even identify Staley by name. The Times
580
+ also argues that Staley's interest against public disclosure of
581
+ untested allegations is not cognizable because, if it were,
582
+ "no
583
+ complaint ever filed in a civil case would be public" unless
584
+ 19
585
+
586
+
587
+
588
+ subject to subsequent testing. Times Reply (Dkt. 294) at 5.1 But
589
+ any allegations in a complaint are, by their nature untested, and
590
+ so will be taken as such by any reader. By contrast, untested
591
+ deposition testimony is a much more serious matter with potentially
592
+ more
593
+ far-ranging consequences. And of course, such untested
594
+ testimony will remain under seal only in the unusual instance,
595
+ such as that here, where the matters discussed in the testimony
596
+ are particularly sensitive. Finally, even if arguably Staley's
597
+ professed interest were insufficient standing alone to preclude
598
+ disclosure, his interest when combined with the interest of Doe
599
+ provides more than adequate basis to keep the transcripts under
600
+ seal.
601
+ B. Exhibits Attached to the Motion for Class Certification
602
+ With respect to the two exhibits filed with the motion for
603
+ class certification,
604
+ which do not involve Staley, Doe does not
605
+ dispute their status as judicial documents given that the Court in
606
+ fact ruled on the class certification motion. Doe Opp. (Dkt. 292)
607
+ at 2. Nor does Doe dispute that a First Amendment right of access
608
+ and/or the common law presumption of access attach. Id. Rather,
609
+ Doe argues that her privacy interest in maintaining the secrecy of
610
+ her identity warrants against disclosure. Id.
611
+ 1 Although the Times cites no authority to support this argument, there is some
612
+ Second Circuit precent that is least arguably consistent with it. See Bernstein,
613
+ 814 F.3d at 143.
614
+ 20
615
+
616
+
617
+
618
+ While the Court agrees Doe has a privacy interest in
619
+ connection with these transcripts, that interest is less expansive
620
+ than that in sealing the
621
+ summary judgment transcripts. Unlike the
622
+ transcripts filed with the motions for summary judgment that
623
+ contained lurid descriptions of Doe's alleged non-consensual
624
+ sexual relations with Staley, the transcripts that were filed with
625
+ the parties' class certification briefing contain much more
626
+ mundane descriptions of Doe's recruitment by Epstein. There is
627
+ much less concern, if any, about disclosing intimate details of
628
+ traumatic events. Further, whereas the public interest in viewing
629
+ the summary judgment transcripts is nothing more than "a morbid
630
+ craving for that which is sensational and impure," Amodeo II, 71
631
+ E.3d at 1051, the public's
632
+ interest in viewing the class
633
+ certification transcripts extends to the reasonable desire to
634
+ understand how Epstein's organization operated and recruited
635
+ victims.
636
+ Ultimately, the Court agrees that Doe's interest in
637
+ maintaining the secrecy of her identity overcomes the First
638
+ Amendment and common-law presumption of access, but the Court also
639
+ find that this interest does not require complete sealing of the
640
+ excerpts. Rather, the Court finds that redactions are capable of
641
+ preserving Doe's anonymity while still leaving sufficient relevant
642
+ material so as not to be misleading. See Amodeo I, 44 E.3d at 147
643
+ (suggesting courts have power to "edit and redact a judicial
644
+ 21
645
+
646
+
647
+
648
+ document in order to allow access to appropriate portions of the
649
+ document").
650
+ Class counsel argues that "merely redacting Jane Doe 1's name
651
+ is not sufficient to protect her identity or privacy interests"
652
+ because "the [elxcerpts contain intimate details about Jane Doe
653
+ l's life that are specific to her, and whose publication could
654
+ reveal her identity to the public and to those who harmed her who
655
+ she fears might retaliate against her." Doe Opp. (Dkt. 292) at 3.
656
+ The Court agrees that it is appropriate to redact more than simply
657
+ Doe's name from the transcripts, and that other information that
658
+ might be used to identify her,
659
+ such as the location where Doe
660
+ lived, should also be redacted. Similarly, portions of the
661
+ transcripts that could be used to
662
+ identify other victims should be
663
+ redacted as well. But that still leaves much non-identifying
664
+ information that can be unsealed.
665
+ III. Conclusion
666
+ For the reasons set forth above, the Court grants in part and
667
+ denies in part the Times' motion to unseal. Specifically, the
668
+ motion to unseal the exhibits submitted with the summary judgment
669
+ motions is denied, but the motion to unseal the exhibits submitted
670
+ with the motion for class certification is granted subject to
671
+ redactions to preserve the anonymity of Doe and other victims.
672
+ Class counsel is directed to, within two weeks of the date of this

427
+ The Firm's AML Director (William

429

430
+ Epstein is under investigation for
431

432
+ 1/7/2011
433
+ Discussions to be held with Will am and AML Ops has conducted
434
+ Nina to determine how to approach the
435
+ extensive research to root out
436
+ issue with Jes Stakey, who is friends with clients involved in human
437
+ Epstein. He needs to understand the
438
+ trafficking. William Langford is
439
+ potential backlash to the firm given all of requiring that if the business
440
+ the work done to root out clients
441
+ decides to proceed, then reinvolved in human trafficking.
442

88

89
+ got there.
90
+ So when you got there and you
91
+ felt strongly that you
92
+ something -
93
+ wanted to do
94
+ A. Uh-huh.
95
+ -- what were the things you
96
+ 164
97
+ did?
98
+ A. Well, what I did first -- and
99
+ keeping in mind that I first came, and
100
+ I have a complete department to run,
101
+ and there are crises going on in
102
+ various departments. It's -- the
103
+ department is critically understaffed,
104
+ and there were many things.
105
+ But what I did with respect to
106
+ that in hearing all these things is
107
+ first, as I indicated, I made a
108
+ general -- you know, just an inquiry
109
+ to find out do we have cases? Do we
110
+ have a record of anyone complaining or
111
+ any -- anyone complaining about seeing
112
+ something that looked suspicious on
113
+ Little St. James or -- or with respect
114
+ to Jeffrey Epstein in particular.

145
+ And I -- but mainly with law
146
+ enforcement.
147
+ So I inquired with VIPD,
148
+ you know, to see if there's
149
+ anything,
150
+ if they could look in their records
151
+ and the Department of Justice.
152
+ didn't do that with the federal
153
+ authorities who were also there
154
+ because they're -- you know, they're
155
+ not going to disclose if there's a
156
+ pending investigation or anything like
157
+ that.
158
+ 165
159
+ But I did not inquire with
160
+ them, but -- and I found that
161
+ the first - that's the first thing
162
+ that I did and found that there was --
163
+ there was nothing. Everything I got
164
+ back was that they didn't have any
165
+ record of anything.
166
+ And so that's the first thing.
167
+ And at that point in time, also what
168
+ had been transpiring was not only the
169
+ sex offender, the request that was -
170
+ we were dealing with, but then I came
171
+ to understand or I had the -- just say
172

211

217

+ A. Right.
223
+ e. - what?
224
+ A. That they had seen -- in the
225
+ records, they had not seen any reports
226

227
+ would be something that, you know, of
228

263

264

265

266
+ A. I just -- well, I guess
267

269

318

321

378

387

388

389

390

392

+ ALBERT BRYAN, JR. -- DIRECT
88
+ What did Mr. Epstein say to you and what
89
+ did you say to him as best that you recall?
90
+ A. Well, he was just concerned about, you
91
+ know, what we were doing if elected, you know, what
92
+ my approach would be towards the island and towards
93
+ permitting, my views on having certain things. Like,
94
+ he had several docks on the island. He had problem
95
+ getting those through DPNR as well.
96
+ e.
97
+ What did you tell him?
98
+ I said, you know, I'm a very strong
99
+ business guy. I'm not so strong on the environmental
100
+ side. Consequently, I ended up hiring JP Oriol, the
101
+ commissioner of DPNR, because he is the
102
+ counterbalance to me.
103
+ Okay. And anything else you can remember
104
+ about that first meeting with Mr. Epstein?
105
+ MR. ACKERMAN: Object to form.
106
+ (By Mr. Neiman:) You could answer.
107
+ No, I don't remember anything else.
108
+ l. Any discussions with Mr. Epstein or his
109
+ lawyer in connection with that meeting about him or
110
+ people close to him contributing to your campaign?
111
+ No.
112
+ l. Did you ever talk to him about money?

145
+ Ms. DeJongh.
146
+ Q. Tell me what you remember about your
147
+ interactions with Ms. DeJongh?
148
+ That's a very broad -- of course, she's
149
+ the First Lady, so, or was.
150
+ e.
151
+ I'll break that down a little bit. Putting
152
+ aside interactions that you had with her that didn't
153
+ relate to her work for Mr. Epstein. So, let's just
154
+ focus on interactions that you had with her that
155
+ related to her work for Mr. Epstein. What do you
156
+ recall about that?
157
+ MR. ACKERMAN: Objection, vague.
158
+ (By Mr. Neiman:) You can answer.
159
+ So I worked with her -- I was the
160
+ executive director of a non-profit, and so the only
161
+ real interaction I had is any contributions that were
162
+ given to the non-profit.
163
+ So this was the job that you held between
164
+ the time that you were head of the EDC and the time
165
+ that you became governor?
166
+ e.
167
+ This is correct.
168
+ Non-profit was what?
169
+ Junior Achievement.
170
+ I see. And what kind of interactions did
171
+ you have with Mrs. deJongh related to Junior

204
+ THE WITNESS:
205
+ We always had
206
+ problems satisfying their educational
207
+ requirement of the certificate.
208
+ So I
209
+ would agree and recommend different
210
+ places where she could donate the money
211
+ that was required by their certificate.
212
+ e.
213
+ (By Mr. Neiman:) Okay. And this is during
214
+ the time period when you were running Junior
215
+ Achievement?
216
+ Yes. That's correct.
217
+ How about - anything else that you can
218
+ recall interacting with Mrs. de Jongh related to
219
+ Mr. Epstein?
220
+ No.
221
+ How about when you became governor, did you
222
+ continue to interact with her related to Mr. Epstein?
223
+ Yes. Mrs. de Jongh was instrumental in
224
+ scheduling as well.
225
+ e.
226
+ scheduling what?
227
+ Okay. So you talked to her about
228

229

263
+ Q. (By Mr. Neiman:) He went to jail, right?

+ Right.
265
+ For more than a year?
266

267
+ Did that strike you as not serious?
268

269

270

271

272

316
+ A. Kind of.
317
+ Explain.
318
+ A. Well, that's what everybody wanted.
319
+ That's not what we wanted individually.
320
+ Okay. Did you end up joining forces?
321
+ A. No.
322
+ Q. All right. But that was sort of the
323
+ political scuttlebutt at the time?
324
+ Right. But we had five Democratic teams
325
+ and no one believed any one team was strong enough to
326
+ win outright. So they wanted to combine the forces.
327
+ I see. And then you'll see in the fourth
328
+ full paragraph, Mrs. de Jongh is advising Mr. Epstein,
329
+ "Your best bet is to give wide but nominal support in
330
+ the primary to solidify relationships, and then
331
+ strongly support the winner of the primary going into
332
+ the general election." Do you see that?
333
+ Yes.
334
+ 2. Do you know whether you got support from
335
+ Mr. Epstein in the primary?
336
+ Yes, I do know.
337
+ We got none. No one
338
+ supported us. Nobody thought we would win.
339
+ 2. Did you get any contributions from anybody
340
+ associated with Mr. Epstein for the primary.

371
+ (By Ms. Neiman:) But this is a charity
372
+ that you particularly invested in, right?
373
+ If you're asking if it bought favor
374
+ because he invested in Junior Achievement? Not
375
+ particularly.
376
+ e.
377
+ I didn't ask you that. I asked you -
378
+ A. I felt like I was helping them out more
379
+ than they were helping me out.
380
+ e.
381
+ Sure. But you were helping them out by
382
+ suggesting that they contribute to a charity that you
383
+ were quite close to, right?
384
+ Right. I think in the documents I was
385
+ shown, though, I said it would be self-serving for me
386
+ to recommend Junior Achievement. So I didn't want to
387
+ do that, you know. Because, I mean, those are my
388
+ people.
389
+ e.
390
+ Achievement?
391
+ But then you actually suggest Junior
392
+ Yeah, but I said it will be self-serving
393

394

433

434

435
+ This is another email exchange to Mrs. de Jongh and
436
+ Epstein in December of 2018. Between the time when
437
+ you were elected and began to serve as Governor,
438

439

442
+ It's a tough one for the court reporter.
443

444
+ MR. ACKERMAN: Objection to form.
445
+ The last question, I think there were
446
+ two questions in there.
447
+ MR. NEIMAN: Okay.
448
+ e.
449
+ (By Mr. Neiman:) Now, if you look at the
450
+ bottom of the page, you could see that Mrs. de Jongh
451
+ writes, Good afternoon Jeffrey, Albert suggested a
452
+ school for autistic children and Junior Achievement.
453
+ Do you see that?
454
+ Yes.
455
+ Autism is another issue that's personally

487
+ 168
488
+ e.
489
+ Okay. And which she says here that you had
490
+ suggested this particular school and Junior
491
+ Achievement, is that accurate?
492
+ Yes.
493
+ All right. And then you see that there's a
494
+ dialogue up above about the gift, and Mr. Epstein
495
+ agreed to 10,000 to each, do you see that?
496
+ Where is that?
497
+ e.
498
+ If you look up above Ms. De Jongh's email,
499
+ Mr. Epstein writes 10K. And then Mrs. de Jongh asked,
500
+ 10K each? And then Mr. Epstein writes, Yes. Do you
501
+ see that?
502
+ Yes.
503
+ 2. Do you remember whether these two charities
504
+ actually received the donation?
505
+ No.
506
+ e.
507
+ Don't remember one way or the other?
508
+ No. I didn't follow-up. Like I said, you
509
+ know, they have a problem meeting their public
510
+ education commitments. So it was more of a favor to
511
+ them than to me. Junior Achievement is pretty
512
+ well-funded. We have a golf tournament every year
513
+ where we raised all the money for the year. So
514
+ that's another place where I didn't really have to
515
+ solicit hard in order to find donations.

545
+ As a matter of fact, my board get on me
546
+ because I used to tell -- I used to stop raising
547
+ money and tell, give it to somebody else because
548
+ there's so many needing charities in the Virgin
549
+ Islands that don't have enough money, you know,
550
+ especially during this period.
551
+ But one of the charities that you chose to
552
+ suggest to Ms. De Jongh was Junior Achievement?
553
+ Right.
554
+ Let's take a look now at tab --
555
+ I just want to clarify, I didn't really
556
+ suggest Junior Achievement. In what I read, I said,
557
+ I should suggest -- I would suggest Junior
558
+ Achievement but that would be self-serving. So
559
+ technically I didn't recommend Junior Achievement.
560
+ e.
561
+ When you're referring to what you read,
562
+ what are you talking about?
563
+ A document that was in my package that was
564

565

566

568

569

607
+ No, I just want -- when I'm reading this,

609
+ When you talked before, was there also fund

613
+ Not the campaign?
614

616

617
+ or - we don't have any recorded -- I don't think we

849

851

852

+ They actually extended loan programs to their
888
+ employees where they would give low interest loans
889
+ for down payments.
890
+ Our sports benefit as well too.
891
+ Antilles School, as a result of EDC companies moving
892
+ here and kids of those students going to the school,
893
+ we have like one of the top ten sailing high schools
894
+ in the nation. A lot of those kids end up going to
895
+ schools on sailing scholarships.
896
+ Same so with golf, basketball where EDC
897
+ beneficiaries fund kids' trips to go to Puerto Rico
898
+ and to the mainland to compete in tournaments.
899
+ So there's a lot of other ways. The
900
+ biggest way financially that's never reflected is
901
+ while you pay, you get an income tax reduction on the
902
+ taxes that you get through the company any revenue
903
+ you get through the company but your worldwide income
904
+ is taxed fully, just like everybody else in a lot
905
+ more income comes into the Virgin Islands that way as
906
+ well, and that's never in the cost benefit analysis.
907
+ Do EDC beneficiaries or owners of EDC
908
+ beneficiaries invest in the community other than in --
909
+ by investing in educational?
910
+ Absolutely. We have opportunities -- the
911
+ way that we design the law, it allows for the owners

942
+ e.
943
+ So were Mr. Epstein and his companies Ms.
944
+ Kellerhals only client?
945
+ No.
946
+ e.
947
+ In your role as EDC chair and in your
948
+ experience as a Virgin Islands' resident, did you have
949
+ the opportunity to observe whether EDC tax
950
+ beneficiaries paid school tuition for the children of
951
+ their employees?
952
+ Yes.
953
+ And what is it that you observed?
954
+ So in order to get -- one of the concerns,
955
+ especially when you're bringing people back, Virgin
956
+ Islanders back from the states, or people in city,
957
+ high cost-of-living. So when people come, then they
958
+ -- even if they see the salary and they say, I'm
959
+ going to take a lump for -- I'm going to take another
960
+ 10 for the sake of moving to the Virgin Islands or
961
+ because I want to do this job. Then once they see
962
+ what the school tuition is for their kids, what the
963
+ housing is, what food costs, then they kind of have a
964
+ change of heart. So to make it more attractive, the
965
+ EDC companies have taken on paying for tuition for
966
+ their students and -- for their employee students as
967
+ well as paying 100 percent of their health insurance.
968
+ e.
969
+ Sir, when you were on the EDC board, did

674
+ A. The SORNA legislation, you
675

678

682
+ our law was what I would call a

684

685

2355

2356
+ (BY ATTORNEY ACKERMAN) :
2357
+ Q. And why don't you believe so?
2358
+ A. Our job was to monitor his
2359
+ presence within the territory or out
2360
+ of the territory. What he does while
2361
+ he's out of the territory we have no
2362
+ way of knowing. When he's on there --
2363
+ when he is in the territory, what he's
2364
+ doing in his home, we are not aware
2365
+ of.
2366
+ As related to your question
2367
+ you just asked, it's when he comes
2368
+ into the territory, we know he -- he
2369
+ is present in the territory by virtue
2370
+ of his registration at Department of
2371
+ Justice. Who may be -- who may have
2372
+ flew in with him on his private jet,
2373
+ the Government of the Virgin Islands
2374
+ officials would not know. U.S.
2375
+ Customs and Border Patrol would know.
2376
+ But they've never indicated that they
2377
+ had any reason, any suspicious as to
2378
+ who was coming in with him and going

2412
+ So I -- you know, I don't
2413
+ believe that there was anything that
2414
+ we did that accommodated from the
2415
+ Department of Justice in the sexual
2416
+ offender office that accommodated or
2417
+ -- or in any way facilitated his
2418
+ illegal activity.
2419
+ l. Are you aware under the Virgin
2420
+ Islands SORNA Statute of a requirement
2421
+ for an offender to register in person
2422
+ at least once a year?
2423
+ A. I can't recall honestly.
2424
+ e. Okay.
2425
+ A. Well, let me think about it.
2426
+ I believe at minimum, all registrants
2427
+ are required to register at least once
2428
+ a year. Those on lower tiers may have
2429
+ to - or higher tiers have to report
2430
+ more than once a year.
2431
+ e. Do you know whether
2432
+ Mr. Epstein registered in person at
2433
+ the Department of Justice at least
2434
+ once a year?
2435
+ A. I would expect that he did. I
