Re: Autopsy Report and File for Jeffrey Epstein 
Dear Ms. Hutner: 
As you are aware, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New 
York ("USAO") and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") are conducting an ongoing 
criminal investigation into the events related to Mr. Epstein's August 10, 2019 suicide at the 
Metropolitan Correctional Center ("MCC") (the "Criminal Investigation"). As you are also aware, 
between August 10, 2019, and August 16, 2019, at OCME's request and in order to assist OCME 
in determining the cause and manner of Mr. Epstein's death, the USAO and FBI gave OCME 
access to certain materials and information gathering during the Criminal Investigation. 
As discussed by phone, while the OCME autopsy is now complete, the Criminal 
Investigation remains ongoing. As such, and in order to avoid compromising the Criminal 
Investigation, we request that OCME withhold from disclosure to any third party any documents, 
evidence or information made available to OCME by the USAO or FBI—including documents, 
records, or materials from the MCC—or created by OCME or within the OCME case file that 
include, reflect, or contain information made available to OCME by the USAO or FBI. We also 
request that you withhold from any disclosure the names and identifying information of any federal 
law enforcement agents or employees who were interviewed by the OCME, along with the 
substance of any statements or interviews made by those agents or employees.
