relief requested in this motion. The Court has carefully considered the motion and is otherwise
fully advised in the premises.
It is ORDERED AND ADJUGED that Plaintiffs' Motion (DE # _J is GRANTED.
A. Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and his employees, his agents, his attorneys, and other
nonparties are directed to take every reasonable step to preserve all evidence,
including, but not limited to, evidence related to the October 25 search, documents,
data, and tangible things, which includes, but is not limited to, writings; records; files;

mail; telephone message records or logs; computer and network activity logs; hard
drives; backup data; removable computer storage media, such as tapes, disks, and

worksheets; summaries; compilations; computations; charts; diagrams; graphic
presentations; drawings; films; charts; video, phonographic, tape, or digital recordings
or transcripts thereof; drafts; jottings; and notes. Information that serves to identify,

wrote regarding a victim's visit to Defendant's mansions; all documents sent to or by
the PBPD, the FBI, the USAO, or the PBSAO; and all computers used by Defendant

B. The duty extends to documents, data, and tangible things in the possession, custody,

carriers, bailees, or other nonparties who possess materials reasonably anticipated to
be subject to discovery in these actions. Counsel is under an obligation to exercise
reasonable efforts to identify and notify such nonparties.

integrity of all documents, data, and tangible things reasonably anticipated to be
subject to discovery in these actions under Rules 26, 45, and 56(e) of the Federal
