Summary
This page is from a legal filing (Case 22-1426, dated Feb 28, 2023) arguing that the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) signed by Jeffrey Epstein should be interpreted under Eleventh Circuit law rather than Second Circuit law. The text asserts that under Eleventh Circuit precedent, the NPA's promise by 'the United States' not to prosecute Epstein's potential co-conspirators (specifically including the Defendant) is binding on all U.S. Attorneys' Offices and any ambiguity must be resolved against the government.
