Summary

An email thread from August and September 2019 discussing the processing and uploading of Epstein-related documents to the Relativity e-discovery platform. The emails specifically mention the 'Florida investigation FOIA files' and note that following the 'events of this weekend' (referring to Epstein's death on August 10, 2019), active discovery obligations had ceased, though internal review for the ongoing investigation would continue. The discussion covers technical details of indexing phone bills, handling PDF conversions, and managing overlapping data sets.

[REDACTED],
Wanted to follow up on the latest round of document processing, referenced below from a few weeks ago, on the Epstein case. Could you please let us know what we expect the ETA will be for that latest round of breaking out files (as necessary) and indexing?
thanks,
[REDACTED].

[REDACTED],
I've generally reviewed the PDF file creations and indices and overall I think they look good. A couple notes for the next round of materials – most importantly, for any phone bills or invoices, in the index they create, please have them list the phone number in the index along with the rest of the description of the file or document (so we can more easily search, rather than having to rely on the OCR versions in Relativity). And then second, if in the index they can create a tab that contains a column with just the document description (rather than the entire file extension, which it looks like they did for these ones).
For this round, though, it looks good, and we'll have our paralegals make those changes for these docs. Accordingly, these records can be uploaded into Relativity under the general folder “Florida investigation FOIA files”. (Due to the events of this weekend we no longer have active discovery obligations, but we will be reviewing the documents in connection with the ongoing investigation.) Your door was locked so I put the envelope with the flash drive right outside your office.
The next round of materials is the set of discs we've been discussing over the past several days. Unfortunately for us, there's likely to be a lot of overlap in this round of materials and the previous documents, because in theory they all come from the same place, but we want to process all of them to make sure we're ultimately meeting any and all obligations. In terms of the vendor, this newer set of docs should be easier because they should be already broken up into component parts, but as discussed we'd like them to double-check that – and also to do the same type of index creation as in the last round.
Please let us know if any other questions or issues, let me know if I'm forgetting anything, and thanks as always.
[REDACTED].

Hello [REDACTED],
The vendor has finished creating the new PDF files based on the 66 PDF files you gave to me in June. I have the data on a flash drive and figured you would like to review the data before it is loaded to Relativity. Please let me know if you are in your office and I will bring you the flash drive.
Thank you.
