Summary

This legal document is a filing by the Government in response to a defense motion. The Government argues that it is not required to produce pages from a personal diary belonging to a third-party victim because the diary is not in its custody or control. Furthermore, the Government asserts that it has already inquired with the victim, who confirmed that no diary entries exist for the relevant time period in the spring of 1996 when she met the defendant while visiting Epstein.
