Re: 
United States v. Jeffrey Epstein, 19 Cr. 490 (RMB) 
Dear Judge Berman: 
As the Court is aware, on about the morning of August 10, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein died while 
in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. On August [ ], the Office of the New York 
City Medical Examiner issued its report concluding that the defendant's cause of death was 
suicide. In light of the death of the defendant prior to a conviction becoming final, the Government 
must request the Court approve the attached proposed order of nolle prosequi. 
Consistent with our practice throughout this case and our obligations under the Crime 
Victims' Rights Act, the Government has made efforts to contact all identified victims since 
learning of the death of the defendant and will similarly notify all known victims of the attached 
order, once entered. As this Office has previously stated publicly, it remains committed to doing 
its utmost to stand up for the victims who have already come forward, as well as for the many 
others who have yet to do so.

All counsel of record (Via ECF) 
Respectfully submitted, 
GEOFFREY S. BERMAN
