The proceedings focused on setting a schedule for discovery, motion practice (specifically regarding the Non-Prosecution Agreement), and a trial date.

This document is a Protective Order filed on July 25, 2019, in the case United States v. Jeffrey Epstein (19 Cr. 490). The order, signed by Judge Richard M. Berman, establishes strict protocols for handling discovery materials to protect the privacy of victims and uncharged individuals, specifically categorizing some materials as 'Confidential' or 'Highly Confidential' (including nude images).

036.pdf
This document is a transcript of a bail hearing for Jeffrey Epstein held on July 15, 2019, in the SDNY. The government argued for detention based on flight risk (citing wealth, foreign ties, and a fake passport found in a safe) and danger to the community, while the defense argued for release on house arrest, citing his 14-year record of appearing for court and lack of recent convictions. Two victims, Annie Farmer and Courtney Wild, spoke in court opposing bail.
032.pdf
This document is a Decision & Order by U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman denying Jeffrey Epstein's request for pretrial release and granting the Government's motion for remand (detention). The Court concludes that the Government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that Epstein poses a danger to the community, citing testimony from victims and evidence of potential witness tampering and non-compliance with sex offender registration. Additionally, the Court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that Epstein is a flight risk due to his vast wealth, international ties, and the potential for a lengthy prison sentence, and determines that the defense's proposed bail package is inadequate to mitigate these risks.
031.pdf
A legal letter from attorney Marc Fernich to Judge Richard Berman defending Jeffrey Epstein regarding a foreign passport found in his possession.
