TO BE FILED UNDER SEAL 
Agent Affidavit in Support of 
Application for Search and Seizure 
Warrant 
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK) ss.: 
being duly sworn, deposes and says: 
I. Introduction 
A. Affiant 
I. 
I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") since 
2017. As such, I am a "federal law enforcement officer" within the meaning of Federal Rule of 
Criminal Procedure 41(a)(2XC), that is, a government agent engaged in enforcing the criminal 
laws and duly authorized by the Attorney General to request a search warrant. I am currently 
assigned to investigate violations of criminal law relating to the sexual exploitation of children. 
As part of my responsibilities, I have participated in numerous investigations and prosecutions of 
crimes against children, including the sex trafficking of minors, and have participated in the 
execution of search warrants involving electronic evidence. 
2. 
I make this Affidavit in support of an application pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal 
Rules of Criminal Procedure for a warrant to search certain electronic devices, compact disks and 
related electronic media specified below (the "Subject Items') for the items and information 
described in Attachment A. This affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge; my review of 
documents and other evidence; my conversations with other law enforcement personnel; and my 
I 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004322 
EFTA_00022232 
EFTA00171912

training, experience and advice received concerning the use of computers in criminal activity and 
the forensic analysis of electronically stored information (`BSI"). Because this affidavit is being 
submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause, it does not include all the facts 
that I have learned during the course of my investigation. Where the contents of documents and 
the actions, statements, and conversations of others are reported herein, they are reported in 
substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated. 
B. The Subject Items 
3. 
The Subject Items are particularly described as follows': 
A black iPhone with IMEI number 357201093322785, which was seized 
. from JEFFREY EPSTEIN on or about July 6, 2019 ("Subject Item-1"). 
b. 
A silver iPad with serial number DLXQGM3KGMW3, which was seized 
from JEFFREY EPSTEIN on or about July 6, 2019 ("Subject Item-2"). 
c. 
Two black binders with CDs, which were 
about July 11, 2019 ("Subject Item-3"). 
d. 
Two black hard drives, which were seizedk from a blue suitcase on or about 
July 11, 2019 ("Subject Item-4"). 
e. 
A box of CDs, which was seized from a blue suitcase on or about July 11 
2019 ("Subject Item-5"). 
f. 
Two binders with various CDs, which were se' 
from a black suitcase on 
or about July 11, 2019 ("Subject Item-6"). 
1 To the extent that the Subject Items contain any SD cards or other removable storage media, the 
description of each such item encompasses those SD cards and other media.

EFTA_00022233 
EFTA00171913

4. 
Based on my training, experience, and research, I know that Subject Item-1 and 
Subject Item-2 both have capabilities that allow them to serve as a wireless telephone, digital 
camera, portable media player, OPS navigation device, and PDA. 
5. 
The Subject Items are all presently lonted in the Southern District of New York. 
C. The Target Subject and the Subject Offenses 
6. 
The Target Subject of this investigation is JEFFREY EPSTEIN. 
7. 
For the reasons detailed below, I respectfully submit that there is probable cause to 
believe that the Subject Items contain evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of violations of Title 
18, United States Code, Section 1591 (sex trafficking of minors); and Title 18, United States Code, 
Section 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the "Subject Offenses") by the Target Subject. 
II. Probable Cause 
A. Probable Cause Regarding the Target Subject's Commission of the Subject Offenses 
8. 
On or about July 2, 2019, a grand jury in this District returned an Indictment 
charging JEFFREY EPSTEIN with the Subject Offenses. A copy of the Indictment is attached 
hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference. 
9. 
That same day, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate Judge, 
signed an arrest warrant for JEFFREY EPSTEIN. A copy of the Arrest Warrant is attached hereto 
as Exhibit B and is incorporated by reference. 
B. Probable Cause Justifying Search of the Subject Items 
The Indictment and Victim-1 
10. 
As set forth in Exhibit A, from at least in or about 2002, up to and including at least 
in or about 2005, JEFFREY EPSTEIN sexually abused multiple minor girls in the Southern 
District of NeW York and elsewhere. During that time and continuing to the present, EPSTEIN 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004324 
EFTA_00022234 
EFTA00171914

possessed and controlled a multi-story, single-family residence located at 9 East 71st Street, New 
York, New York, which is described in Exhibit A as "the New York Residence." 
11. 
As further set forth in paragraphs 8 through 10 of Exhibit A, from at least in or 
about 2002, up to and including at least in or about 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused numerous 
minor victims at the New York Residence. In particular, and as alleged in the Indictment, when a 
victim arrived at the New York Residence, she would be escorted to a room inside the Subject 
Premises with a massage table, where she would perform a massage on EPSTEIN. The victims, 
who were as young as 14 years of age, were told by EPSTEIN or other individuals to partially or 
fully undress before beginning the "massage." During the encounter, EPSTEIN would escalate 
the nature and scope of physical contact with his victim to include, among other things, sex acts 
such as groping and direct and indirect contact with the victims' genitals. EPSTEIN typically 
would also masturbate during these sexualized encounters, ask victims to touch him while he 
masturbated, and touch victims' genitals with his hands or with sex toys. Following each 
encounter, EPSTEIN or one of his employees or associates paid the victim in cash. 
12. 
As set forth in paragraphs 12 through 13 of Exhibit A, to further facilitate his ability 
to abuse minor girls in New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN asked and enticed certain of his victims to 
recruit additional minor girls to perform "massages" and similarly engage in sex acts with 
EPSTEIN. When a victim would recruit another minor girl for EPSTEIN, he paid both the victim-
recruiter and the new victim hundreds of dollars in cash. EPSTEIN knew that his victims were 
underage, including because certain victims told him their age. 
13. 
One of the victims identified in paragraph 22 of Exhibit A is Victim-1. As part of 
the FBI's investigation of EPSTEIN, other law enforcement officers and I have interviewed 
4 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004325 
EFTA_00022235 
EFTA00171915

Victim-1.2 During those interviews, Victim-1 has provided the following information, in 
substance and in part: 
a. Between approximately 2002 and 2005, EPSTEIN sexually abused Victim-1 on 
multiple occasions in the New York Residence. This sexual abuse all occurred when Victim-1 
was under the age of 18. 
The July 6. 2019 Seizure of Subject Item-1 and Subiect Item-2 
14. 
I know from my personal participation in this investigation and my conversations 
with other law enforcement agents that on July 6, 2019, JEFFREY EPSTEIN was aboard a private 
Iscct 
jet that flew from France and landed at approximately 5:30 ■ 
in Teterboro Airport in Bergen4lit 
New Jersey. Upon his arrival at Teterboro Airport, and as part of his re-entry into the United 
States, EPSTEIN was searched by agents of U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP"), who 
found both Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2 in EPSTEIN's possession. The CBP agents then 
provided Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2 to Special Agents of the FBI who also placed 
EPSTEIN under arrest. The FBI subsequently transported Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2 to 
FBI offices located in the Southern District of New York, where they are currently located.

The July 6. 2019 and July 7, 2019 Search Warrants for the New York Residence 
15. 
On or about July 6, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate 
Judge, signed a search warrant authorizing a search of the New York Residence. The search 
warrant is attached as Exhibit C and incorporated by reference herein. 
16. 
At approximately 6 ■. on or about July 6, 2019, law enforcement officers (the 
"Search Team") commenced executing the search warrant at the New York Residence. 
17. 
Based on the Search Team's observations during an initial search of the New York 
Residence, at approximately 7M., the Search Team stopped the search and froze the scene in 
order to seek a new search warrant. 
18. 
On or about July 7, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate 
Judge, signed a second search warrant authorizing a search of the New York Residence (the 
"Second Warrant"). The Second Warrant is attached as Exhibit D, and incorporated by reference 
herein. At approximately 2:30 II., the Search Team resumed the search, and commenced 
searching pursuant to the Second Warrant 
19. 
Based on my conversations with members of the Search Team, I have learned the 
following: 
a. The Search Team observed a number of computing devices, including computers 
and tablet devices, throughout the New York Residence. 
b. Inside a safe in a closet on the third floor (the "Safe"), the Search Team discovered 
and seized, among other items, several binders containing sleeves of compact discs, most of which 
are labeled with handwriting. In total, the binders contain dozens of compact discs. One disc is 
labeled 
Another disc is labeled "Nudes 00-24." Another is 
labeled "Misc. Nudes." Yet another is labeled "Girl Pies Nude." Some discs contain the word 
6 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004327 
EFTA_00022237 
EFTA00171917

"Zorro" or "LSJ." For example, one disc is marked "Dana Zorro Pics." Based on my 
conversations with law enforcement agents who have participated in this investigation, I believe 
the name "Zorro" refers to Zorro Ranch, EPSTEIN's property in New Mexico, and the name LSJ 
refers to Little Saint James, EPSTEIN's property in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The majority of the 
discs contain titles that include female names. Some of the discs in the binders seized by the 
Search Team have titles that appear to refer to trips or vacations. 
c. During the search, the Search Team did not seize at that time certain binders of 
discs located in the Safe, where the majority of the discs in the binder were labeled in a manner 
that did not appear to refer to girls or nudes. The Search Team also did not seize at that time 
several unlabeled hard drives, which were also located in the Safe. As detailed below, those 
additional binders of discs are among the subjects of this application. 
d. In addition to the Safe, in the drawer of a dresser in a room on the Fifth floor of the 
New York Residence, the Search team discovered and seized, among other items, a shoebox (the 
"Shoebox") which contained numerous compact discs. The majority of the discs are labeled, in 
handwriting, with female names. One disc is labeled "Thai Massage." Another disc is labeled 
"Blonde Girl Photo Shoot." Yet another disc is labeled "Misc. Girls Nude/Dinner—Scientists." 
The discs in the Shoebox were seized by the Search Team. In another drawer of that same dresser, 
the Search Team discovered loose polaroid photographs depicting young, nude females who, based 
on the training and experience of law enforcement officers who observed them, appear to be 
teenagers. In that same drawer, the Search Team discovered a folder marked, in handwriting, 
=which 
contained photographs, including nude and sexually suggestive photographi of a 
young girl who, based on the training and experience of law enforcement officers who observed 
them, appears to be younger than 18. The folder also contained other nude photographs of young 
7 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004328 
EFTA_00022238 
EFTA00171918

girls who appear to be teenagers, based on my training and experience. Inside the folder is a 
compact disc marked Mat L.TS 6/03" (the Wise"), which was seized by the Search Team. 
e. In a closet on the Fifth Floor of the New York Residence, the Search Team 
discovered, among othcr items, a box marked "women/old photos." The box contained, among 
other items, approximately seven compact discs, which are labeled with hand-written titles. One 
disc is labeled "nudes 00-24." Another is labeled "Photographer-Ell 
`03" The remaining 
discs contain tiles that include female names. All of the foregoing discs were seized by the Search 
Team. 
f. In that same closet, the Search Team discovered numerous black binders containing 
what appear to be print outs of digital photographs (with file names underneath) and compact discs. 
The Search Team seized approximately ten binders (the "Seized Binders")3 which appeared to 
contain, among other photographs, photographs of nude or partially nude young girls, some of 
which are in sexually suggestive poses. Based on the training and experience of law enforcement 
officers who observed them, at least some of the young girls depicted in the photographs appear 
to be teenagers, including some who appear to be under the age of 18. The Seized Binders also 
include photographs of what appear to be personal functions, events, and travel. 
g. The compact discs seized by the Search Team and described in paragraphs 
are currently stored within the Southern District of New York in containers marked for 
identification with FBI evidence numbers 15, 16, 17, 18, and 22 (the "Seized Discs"). 
The July 7, 2019 Search Warrant for the Seized Discs 
20. 
On or about July 7, 2019, the Honorable Barbara Moses, United States Magistrate 
Judge, signed a third search warrant to search and seize electronic media stored on the Seized Discs 
3 The Search Team did not seize the remaining binders. 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004329 
EFTA_00022239 
EFTA00171919

(the "Third Search Warrant"). The Third Warrant is attached as Exhibit E, and incorporated by 
reference herein. 
21. 
Based on my conversations with law enforcement agents who have reviewed the 
Seized Discs pursuant to the Third Search Warrant (the "Reviewing Agents"), I have learned the 
following: 
a. The discs contain approximately thousands of nude or partially nude photographs 
of girls or young women, many of which are in sexually suggestive poses. Based on my 
conversations with the Reviewing Agents, who have particular training and experience relating to 
child erotica and visual depictions of children in child exploitation cases, I have learned that the 
Reviewing Agents believe that many of the nude or partially nude images they have reviewed 
appear to depict girls under the age of 18. Moreover, many of the photographs appear to be labeled 
with file names that suggest the photographs depict these girls at properties associated with 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN. For example, some file names are labeled "Zorro" or "LSJ." 
b. Among the photographs on the Seized Discs, the Reviewing Agents identified 
partially-nude photographs of a young girl, labeled with an associated name that matched a 
particular individual ("Individual-1"). After identifying those photographs, the Government was 
advised by Individual-1's counsel that Individual-I recalls the month and year during which she 
believes those partially-nude photographs were taken, and also the location where they were taken, 
and that she was 17 years old at the time. 
The July 11, 2019 Search Warrant for All Electronic Devices and Storage Media in the 
New York Residence 
22. 
Following the initiation of the FBI's review of the Seized Discs, on or about July 
11, 2019, the Honorable Henry B. Pitman, United States Magistrate Judge, signed another search 
warrant authorizing another search of the New York Residence and specifically authorizing the 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004330 
EFTA_00022240 
EFTA00171920

seizure and search of electronic devices and storage media inside the New York Residence (the 
"Fourth Warrant"). The Fourth Warrant is attached as Exhibit F and incorporated by reference 
herein. 
23. 
Later on July 11, 2019, the Search Team executed the Fourth Warrant at the New 
York Residence. 
24. 
Based on my conversations with members of the Search Team, I have learned the 
following, among other things, regarding the execution of the Fourth Warrant: 
a. 
During the July 11, 2019 execution of the Fourth Warrant inside the New 
York Residence, the Search Team found that the Safe described above was empty and, in 
particular, that the collection of discs and hard drives described in paragraph 19b, above, that the 
Search Team had not seized during its prior search of the New York Residence on July 7, 2019, 
had been removed. 
b. 
After discovering that the Safe was empty, the Search Team spoke with an 
employee who worked at the New York Residence (the "Employee"). During that conversation, 
the Employee told the Search Team that after the completion of the prior search on July 7, 2019, 
the Employee had been instructed by a third party ("the Third Party") to take the contents of the 
Safe out of the New York Residence and deliver those items to the Third Party. The Employee 
further told the Search Team that after receiving that instruction, the Employee packed the contents 
of the Safe into two suitcases and delivered those suitcases to the Third Party. The Employee 
provided the Search Team with the Third Party's contact information. 
c. 
The Search Team then contacted the Third Party. During the ensuing 
conversation, the Third Party confirmed receipt of two suitcases from the Employee but also told 
10 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004331 
EFTA_00022241 
EFTA00171921

the Search Team that the Third Party had not opened the suitcases or touched or tampered with 
their contents. The Third Party also agreed to deliver the two suitcases to the Search Team. 
d. 
Later on July 11, 2019, and consistent with the conversation described 
above, the Third Party met the Search Team outside of the New York Residence and provided 
0\ 
Sf.e3. .sc tritess•with the two suitcases described above, one of which was blue and one of which was black. 
onsistent with standard law enforcement protocol, the Search.Team conducted an inventory of 
th suitcases before taking custody of them. While taking an inventory of the blue suitcase, the 
Search Team discovered, among other items, Subject Item-3, Subject Item-4, and Subject Item-5. 
While taking an inventory of the black suitcase, the Search Team discovered, among other items, 
Subject Item-6. These items, i.e., Subject Items -3, -4, -5, and -6, appeared to be the same items 
observed in the Safe by the Search Team during the July 7, 2019 search of the New York 
Residence. 
The 2018 Payments 
25. 
Based on my participation in this investigation, my review of open source materials, 
and my review of financial records, I have further learned the following: 
a. 
On or about November 28, 2018, the Miami Herald began publishing a 
series of articles related to JEFFREY EPSTEIN, his sex trafficking of minor girls, and the 
circumstances of a non-prosecution agreement ("NPA") he previously negotiated with the 
Southern District of Florida. Among other things, the NPA identified several individuals as 
EPSTEIN's co-conspirators in the sex trafficking of minor girls. 
b. 
Records obtained by the Government from a financial institution 
("Institution-1") appear to show that just two days after the Miami Herald began publishing its 
series, on or about November 30, 2018, the defendant wired $100,000 from a trust account he 
11 
2017.08.02 
USA0_004332 
EFTA_00022242 
EFTA00171922

controlled to an individual named as a possible co-conspirator in the NPA. The same records from 
Institution-1 appear to show that just three days after that, on or about December 3, 2018, the 
defendant wired $250,000 from the same trust account to another individual named as a possible 
co-conspirator in the NPA and also identified as one of the defendant's employees in the 
Indictment. 
Neither of these payments appears to be recurring or repeating during the 
approximately five years of bank records presently available. 
c. 
This course of action, and in particular its timing, suggests the defendant 
was still in communication with and attempting to further influence co-conspirators who might 
provide information against him in light of the recently re-emerging allegations. 
Request to Search the Subiect Items 
26. 
Based on my training and experience and participation in this investigation, I 
respectfully submit that there is probable cause to believe that the Subject Items will contain and/or 
constitute additional fruits, evidence and instrumentalities of the Subject Offenses. As an initial 
matter, all of the Subject Items were initially found in the same Safe in which EPSTEIN was 
storing discs and other media already reviewed and which contain hundreds of not thousands of 
nude and suggestive images of young females, some of whom appear to be under 18. Given as 
much, and because there is probable cause to believe that Epstein engaged in sex trafficking of 
underage girls, there is probable cause to believe that the additional storage media in EPSTEIN's 
possession and control—Le., the Subject Items—will contain evidence of the Subject Offenses. 
Moreover, that efforts were made to remove Subject Items -3, -4, -5, and -6 from the New York 
Residence after the initial search only further reinforces the probable cause to believe that those 
Subject Items contain and constitute fruits, evidence and instrumentalities of the Subject Offenses. 
12 
2017.08.02 
USAO_004333 
EFTA_00022243 
EFTA00171923

27. 
With respect to Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2, both are electronic devices 
capable of sending, receiving, and containing thousands of messages and images. Based on my 
training and experience, I am aware that individuals who store nude and/or sexually suggestive 
photographs of minors on compact discs or other external storage devices typically annws those 
images from computers and other electronic devices in order to view those images, and individuals 
who store such materials on compact discs typically store similar files on other computing devices 
and storage devices like Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2. Further, in light of the payments to 
potential co-conspirators described in paragraph 25, above, I respectfully submit there is probable 
cause to believe that EPSTEIN still communicates with at least some of his co-conspirators about 
the Subject Offenses and that such communications may occur using Subject Item-1 and Subject 
Item-2. 
28. 
I further know from my training and experience that computer files or remnants of 
such files can be recovered months or even years after they have been created or saved on an 
electronic device such as the Subject Items. Even when such files have been deleted, they can 
often be recovered, depending on how the device has subsequently been used, months or years 
later with forensics tools. Thus, the ability to retrieve from information from the Subject Items 
depends less on when the information was first created or saved than on a particular user's device 
configuration, storage capacity, and computer habits. 
29. 
Based on the foregoing, I respectfully submit there is probable cause to believe that 
evidence of JEFFREY EPSTEIN's commission of the Subject Offences is likely to be found on 
the Subject steins..

IR. Procedures for Searching ESI 
A. Review of ESI 
`' 
30. 
Law enforcement personnel (who may include, in addition to law enforcement 
officers and agents, attorneys for the government, attorney support staff, agency personnel 
assisting the government in this investigation, and outside technical experts under government 
control) will review the ESI contained on the Subject Items for information responsive to the 
warrant 
31. 
In conducting this review, law enforcement may use various techniques to 
determine which files or other ESI contain evidence or fruits of the Subject Offenses. Such 
techniques may include, for example: 
• 
surveying directories or folders and the individual files they contain (analogous to 
looking at the outside of a file cabinet for the markings it contains and opening a drawer 
believed to contain pertinent files); 
• 
conducting a file-by-file review by "opening" or reading the first few "pages" of such 
files in order to determine their precise contents (analogous to performing a cursory 
examination of each document in a file cabinet to determine its relevance); 
• 
"scanning" storage areas to discover and possibly recover recently deleted data or 
deliberately hidden files; and 
• 
performing electronic keyword searches through all electronic storage areas to 
determine the existence and location of data potentially related to the subject matter of 
the investigation's; and 
• 
reviewing metadata, system information, configuration files, registry data, and any 
other information reflecting how, when, and by whom the computer was used. 
Keyword searches alone are typically inadequate to detect all relevant data. For one thing, 
keyword searches work only for text data, yet many types of files, such as images and videos, do 
not store data as searchable text. Moreover, even as to text data, there may be information properly 
subject to seizure but that is not captured by a keyword search because the information does not 
contain the keywords being searched.

32. 
Law enforcement personnel will make reasonable efforts to restrict their search to 
data falling within the categories of evidence specified in the warrant. Depending on the 
circumstances, however, law enforcement may need to conduct a complete review of all the ESI 
from the Subject Items to evaluate its contents and to locate all data responsive to the warrant. 
B. Return of the Subject Items 
33. 
If the Government determines that•the Subject Items are no longer necessary to 
retrieve and preserve the data on the Subject Items, and that the Subject Items are not subject to 
seizure pursuant to F 
ule of Criminal Procedure 41(c), the Government will return the 
Subject Items,,
Computer data that is encrypted or unreadable will not be returned 
unless law enforcement personnel have determined that the data is not (i) an instrumentality of the 
offense, (ii) a fruit of the criminal activity, (iii) contraband, (iv) otherwise unlawfully possessed, 
or (v) evidence of the Subject Offenses.

IL Review of ESI on the Subject Items 
Law enforcement personnel (who may include, in addition to law enforcement officers and 
agents, attorneys for the government, attorney support staff, agency personnel assisting the 
government in this investigation, and outside technical experts under government control) are 
authorized to review the ESI contained on the Subject Items for evidence, fruits, and 
instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1591 (sex trafficking of 
minors), and 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the "Subject Offenses") described as follows: 
1. 
Any documents or communications with or regarding victims or potential victims 
of the Subject Offenses; 
2. 
Any photographs of victims or potential victims of the Subject Offenses; 
3. 
Any nude, partially nude, or sexually suggestive photographs of individuals who 
appear to be teenage girls, or younger; 
4. 
Records, data, or other items that evidence ownership, control, or use of, or access 
to the Subject Items, including, but not limited to access history data, historical location data, 
To the extent that the Subject Items contain any SD cards or other removable storage media, the 
description of each such item encompasses those SD cards and other media.

configuration files, saved usernames and passwords, user profiles, e-mail contacts, and 
photographs; 
5. 
Any child erotica, defined as suggestive visual depictions of nude minors that do 
not constitute child pornography as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8). 
As to Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2, Law enforcement personnel (who may include, 
in addition to law enforcement officers and agents, attorneys for the government, attorney support 
staff, agency personnel assisting the government in this investigation, and outside technical experts 
under government control) are further authorized to review the EST contained on Subject Item-1 
and Subject Item-2 for evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United 
States Code, Sections 1591 (sex trafficking of minors), and 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the 
"Subject Offenses") described as follows: 
1. 
Any documents or communications with or regarding co-conspirators in the Subject 
Offenses. 
In conducting this review, law enforcement personnel may use various techniques to 
determine which files or other ESI contain evidence or fruits of the Subject Offenses. Such 
techniques may include, for example: 
• 
surveying directories or folders and the individual files they contain (analogous to 
looking at the outside of a file cabinet for the markings it contains and opening a drawer 
believed to contain pertinent files); 
• 
conducting a file-by-file review by "opening" or reading the first few "pages" of such 
files in order to determine their precise contents (analogous to performing a cursory 
examination of each document in a file cabinet to determine its relevance); 
• 
"scanning" storage areas to discover and possibly recover recently deleted data or 
deliberately hidden files; and 
• 
performing electronic keyword searches through all electronic storage areas to 
determine the existence and location of data potentially related to the subject matter of 
the investigation; and 
• 
reviewing metarlfirn, system information, configuration files, registry data, and any 
other information reflecting how, when, and by whom the computer was used. 
Law enforcement personnel will make reasonable efforts to search only for files, 
documents, or other electronically stored information within the categories identified in Section II
of this Attachment. However, law enforcement personnel are authorized to conduct a complete 
review of all the PSI from seized devices or storage media if necessary to evaluate its contents and 
to locate all data responsive to the warrant.
