Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) filed on August 10, 2022. It details a legal argument regarding the admissibility of 'message books' containing caller names, dates, times, and callback numbers intended for the defendant and Mr. Epstein. The Court overrules an objection, citing Federal Rule of Evidence 803.6 (Business Records), stating that witnesses Alessi and Hesse provided sufficient foundation that these were regular records rather than miscellaneous jottings.
