Summary
This legal document is a court filing that analyzes whether two criminal counts (Count Three and Count Five) are multiplicitous, meaning they charge the same crime. The court concludes that because the Government presented the case as a single, broad conspiracy involving the Defendant and Epstein, the counts are indeed multiplicitous. To avoid double jeopardy, the court rules that it will only impose judgment on one of the counts (Count Three).
