Summary
This document is page 826 from the 349 Federal Supplement, 2d Series. It appears to be part of a judicial opinion in the case 'Burnett I' (likely Burnett v. Al Baraka Inv. & Dev. Corp.), concerning liability for the September 11 attacks. The text discusses legal standards for 'proximate cause,' 'concerted action liability' (conspiracy/aiding and abetting) under New York law, the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA), and civil RICO claims. It analyzes whether providing material support to al Qaeda creates liability for the 9/11 attacks. While the Bates stamp indicates it was produced to the House Oversight Committee, there is no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein on this specific page.
