Feldman, the independent, neutral administrator of the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program (the \"EVCP\"). Pursuant to the Court's memo-endorsement of our letter dated November 15, 2021, we respectfully move to quash defendant Maxwell's subpoena directed to Ms. Feldman for certain documents of the EVCP concerning four victims.

In program documents, press releases, and on its website, the EVCP and Ms. Feldman repeatedly emphasized the program's promise of confidentiality. That promise allowed for participation by victims who otherwise would have been reluctant to share their stories. It also encouraged victims to compromise claims that might otherwise have taken up substantial judicial resources. Only a confidential program can DOJ-OGR-00011451",
