Dear Mr. Eisenberg:

Although we are sure you have received Mr. Piccarreta’s case file regarding your 

client Andrew Padilla—which includes discovery disclosed in the case to date—we wanted 

to separately provide you two digital media devices containing “hot docs” (i.e., documents 

specifically related to the allegations contained in the Superseding Indictment). (See

Superseding Indictment CR 230). DVD#1 enclosed contains approximately 1,500 pages 

of Bates stamped “hot docs” specifically related to the allegations in the Superseding 

Indictment to all Defendants as well as the victims ads referenced in Counts 1-51 of the 

Superseding Indictment.1
