RE: Extension of time re redaction

Dear Paul and Brad:

Good morning. I am writing to ask if you have any objection to a motion for a short extension of time to comply with Judge Marra's order requiring us to file unredacted pleadings. Some of those have Judge Middlebrooks' sealed order attached and I need to file something with Judge Middlebrooks to avoid getting caught in the crosshairs. I am pretty sure that he is in town, so 5 days should suffice. If it will be longer than that, I will send a follow-up email.

Thank you so much.

Hi

We're happy to work with you on this, so we have no objection.

But we were wondering when you would get back to us on our question (emailed to you yesterday morning) regarding the Government's position on Epstein's (frankly unprecedented) attempt to take an interlocutory appeal in the middle of this case. Is the Government going to oppose that effort? We would be very surprised if the Government wanted to set a precedent allowing suspected criminals to take interlocutory appeals in the middle of cases involving criminal proceedings. We'd like to know quickly, because we are filing very soon in opposition to the motion to stay.

Hi Paul:

Thank you for being so accommodating.

I know you worked up at Main, so I think you know that all appellate decisions are made by appellate attorneys. Dexter is handling getting an answer and will get back to you as soon as he can.

Have a wonderful weekend. I am sure we will talk soon.

Have we filed the motion for extension of time?

Yes. I may be overly optimistic, but I expect to have everything done by Monday (Tuesday at the latest), aside from waiting to address Judge Middlebrooks' sealed order. And I expect that we could finalize things fairly quickly after getting the ruling.
