Document Information

Type: Legal opinion / federal court supplement
File Size: 2.25 MB
Summary

This document is page 792 of a Federal Supplement legal opinion (likely In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001, based on context and case citations). It discusses a motion by the National Commercial Bank (NCB) to dismiss a case based on the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA). The court denies the motion without prejudice, ordering 'limited jurisdictional discovery' to determine if the Public Investment Fund (PIF) qualifies as a political subdivision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The document also references exceptions to sovereign immunity, including 'state sponsor of terrorism' and 'commercial activities.' The footer indicates this document was part of a House Oversight Committee production. There is no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein on this specific page.

"The Court finds that resolution of the PIF's and thereby NCB's status is not determinable on the current record and, therefore, limited jurisdictional discovery is warranted."
