| she is noncompliant with her taxes. Defendant's purported |
| 2 |
| expert's evaluation |
| of this |
| is wholly flawed, as explained in |
| 3 |
| Ms. Giuffre's motion in limine on the same. |
| 4 |
| Similarly, Ms. Giuffre's taxes |
| are wholly irrelevant |
| 5 |
| to this case. |
| Even |
| actions brought by the government, your |
| 6 |
| Honor, where the cause of action is centered on nontax |
| compliance |
| exclude evidence |
| of prior tax noncompliance when it |
| 8 |
| takes the case too far afield of the issue being tried. |
| 9 |
| Courts also exclude this evidence under 403 if there's |
| 10 |
| no substantial nexus between the alleged tax noncompliance and |
| 11 |
| the matter at hand. |
| Here, defendant fails to show any type of |
| 12 |
| substantial nexus to this defamation claim. None whatsoever. |
| 13 |
| Additionally, resolving Ms. Giuffre's tax compliance, |
| 14 |
| this is |
| a point that's in dispute among |
| the parties, and |
| 15 |
| resolving |
| such an issue would also involve another mini trial |
| 16 |
| where Ms. Giuffre would put on evidence of her tax compliance |
| 17 |
| and, at the end of that mini trial, the jury would have no more |
| 18 |
| information whether |
| or not defendant defamed Ms. Giuffre when |
| 19 |
| she called her a liar about being |
| sexually abused. Trying to |
| 20 |
| make this an issue, this is simply a device for putting the |
| 21 |
| settlement agreement and the amount between Ms. Giuffre |
| 22 |
| Jeffrey Epstein into evidence. |
| 23 |
| As has been briefed extensively, such a settlement |
| 24 |
| payment is tax exempt under the United States law, but that's |
| 25 |
| all this is, it's a device to try to get an improper admission |
