Summary
This document is a chain of emails from September 2020 between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and contractors regarding the discovery process in the US v. Epstein/Maxwell case. The correspondence details the technical logistics of uploading roughly 40,000 files (300GB), labeled as 'Images Seized During Search', to the Relativity database. Key topics include handling native file formats (Excel/Text), verifying if Ghislaine Maxwell can open these files on BOP computers at the MDC, and managing confidential stamping for the production. References are also made to productions involving Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan.

Subject: RE: Epstein/Maxwell Upload
Okay great. I reached out to [Redacted] at BOP to get an answer on their text reader capabilities. Apparently, their computers are equipped with text readers (as suspected). I'm still waiting to hear back on the specific program(s) that they use. I figured it would be useful to know and/or include in the next discovery cover letter so that defense can't claim that she has no capability to open those files.

Thanks for flagging. Let's produce in their original format to both for now. If Maxwell has trouble opening them at MDC, we'll deal with that after she tells us she can't open them. She has not identified every single excel and txt file from past productions as problematic, so she will hopefully be able to open these.

How are we handling producing to Maxwell vs. Counsel? With these files there are tons of text and excel files that need to be converted in order to be sent to MDC. Are we also producing the converted versions to defense or rather the original natives?

Thanks [Redacted]. These look great. One quick question, on documents in native format (excel files) is there a confidential stamp? I've checked and it seems the answer is no but I just want to be sure that I'm not missing anything.

1. Yes, we want to mark all of them confidential
2. We are working on that.
3. I suppose database load files? We want to retain the files as they are currently formatted as best we can.
4. That won't be an issue. I don't think we will be searching through them; the purpose is just to be able to stamp them.

I know you want to produce these documents can you please tell me the following:
1. Will you placing a Confidential stamp on these documents?
2. What bates number do you wish to use on the documents?
3. How do you want to produce the documents (single page tiff images, database load files or PDF production).
4. Also please note that once the documents have been loaded to Relativity there is no way to run any searches for these images since they are mostly images and video.

Hey [Redacted],
We have some materials that we need uploaded to Relativity to the Epstein database for the purpose of stamping them.
The files in question number about 40,000 and are about 300GB in size. They are currently copying onto a drive to be sent to Relativity and should be ready by tomorrow. Do you want to see them first or can they go directly to PAE?
