This document is an opposition brief filed by the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands against the Epstein Estate's request for over $112,000 in attorneys' fees. The Government argues that the Estate is not a 'prevailing party' because the underlying court orders were not final judgments, and that the requested hourly rates (up to $1,315/hr) are excessive compared to the local standard of $350/hr. The filing also references the Government's broader CICO lawsuit alleging Epstein used his VI businesses to transport and abuse victims on Little St. James Island.
