The document is a response from the United States government to a victim's emergency petition regarding the enforcement of the Crime Victim Rights Act (CVRA) in the case involving Jeffrey Epstein. The government argues that there is no 'court proceeding' under 18 U.S.C. § 3771(b) as Epstein has not been charged with a federal offense. The response discusses the unique aspects of the case, the government's efforts to comply with the CVRA, and the decision to defer federal prosecution in favor of state prosecution. The document also addresses the government's discretion in maintaining confidentiality during negotiations with Epstein.
