Summary
This is the final signature page (page 3) of a civil complaint filed on May 25, 2017, against the FBI. The plaintiff, Mr. Robertson (represented by attorney Daniel Novack), alleges the FBI violated the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by failing to respond to a request for records, presumably regarding Jeffrey Epstein (referenced implicitly regarding 'preferential treatment'). The plaintiff seeks a court order to compel the release of documents and expedited proceedings.
