R. Civ. P. 55(c), hereby opposes plaintiff Jane Doe No. 3's motion for a clerk's default upon the following showing of "good cause." + +## Introduction + +The clerk's default should not be entered. Service was effected as of June 2. Accordingly the response is due 20 days later, on or before June 23. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i). + +The plaintiff, in moving for a clerk's default, implied that service was made in accordance with either federal or Florida procedure. As discussed below, however, service was clearly ineffective under the federal and Florida rules of procedure. Accordingly, the only possibility for valid service was service under New York rules of procedure. Cf. RCP's Lear, LLC v. Taughannock Aviation Corp., No. 5:07-CV-96, 2008 WL 305103, at \*4 (N.D.N.Y. Jan. 31, 2008) (observing that "[a]s a threshold matter, the court must [first] address the rules pursuant to which process was served"). + +Service of process was valid under New York's rule for so-called "substitute-service" (i.e., service in a manner other than delivery in-hand to the defendant herself or himself), but that statute gives the defendant more time to respond than do the federal or Florida rules. See id. (acknowledging that Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e)(2) has a "'resided therein' requirement," unlike "New York's substituted service statute," NY CPLR 308); NY CPLR 308 (providing that service is not deemed effected until /0 days after the process-server's affidavit is filed with the Court). + +This is not a motion to quash, or a motion arguing that service was completely ineffective. To the contrary, we acknowledge that service was effective under New York procedure, but point out that it was ineffective under Florida and federal procedure. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(e)(1) permits service to be made according to "state law for serving a summons in . . . the state . . . where service is made" as an alternative to following the federal service method (i.e., Rule 4(e)(2)). + +As shown below, under New York's so-called "substituted-service" rule, service was effected on June 2, not May 7 (as the plaintiff and the deputy clerk of court evidently believed). Accordingly, the defendant's response to the complaint is not due until June 23. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i) (allowing 20 days from the date of service of process to serve answer),I + +## Facts and Procedural History + +1. On May 7, 2008, service was delivered at defendant Epstein's house located at 9 East 71st Street, New York, New York, to Richard Barnett, an employee. + +2. Mr. Barnett does not reside at that address. See Affidavit of Richard Barnett (attached as Ex. A). + +3. On May 29, 2008, the plaintiff moved for an entry of default against Mr. Epstein. [D.E. 5].2 The Clerk of Court has not yet acted on the plaintiff's motion.3 + +In this case, the 20th day falls on a Saturday (June 21). The answer is therefore due on Monday, June 23. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(3) (establishing that when a deadline falls on Saturday, the "period runs until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday"). + +2Notably, the plaintiffs attorney never mailed Mr. Epstein a copy of his motion for a Clerk's entry of default. + +3The plaintiffs attorney here previously filed an identical action, captioned Jane Doe No. 1 v. Epstein, Case No. 08-80069-KAM, on behalf of a different plaintiff. That action was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs attorney after a motion to intervene was filed by Jane Doe No. 1 (through her mother) indicating that neither Jane Doe No. 1 nor her mother had consented to the attorney's filing the lawsuit on her behalf. See Case No. 08-80069-KAM [D.E. 9]. + +## Overview of Rules for Service of Process + +The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure authorize three distinct methods of service in a diversity action. First, service can be effected in accordance with the procedures "in the state where the district court is located" (here, Florida). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e)(1). Second, service can be effected in accordance with the procedures "in the state . .. where service is made" (here, New York). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e)(1). Third, service can be effected in accordance with federal procedure. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 (e)(2). Cf. David D. Siegel, Practice Commentary on Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Commentary C4-22 (observing that "there is no priority between the [authorized methods of service]") (emphasis added). + +Thus, when a diversity action is brought in the Southern District of Florida, + +In addition to that action, the same plaintiff's attorney here has filed four other, identical lawsuits against Jeffrey Epstein on behalf of four plaintiffs that are still pending before this Court: Jane Doe No. 2 v. Epstein, Case No. 9:08-cv-80119-KAM; Jane Doe No. 3 v. Epstein, Case No. 9:08-cv-80232-KAM; Jane Doe No. 4 v. Epstein, Case No. 9:08-cv-80380-KAM; and Jane Doe No. 5 v. Epstein, Case No. 9:08-cv-80381-ICAM. Plaintiffs counsel has sought an entry of default in each case. In the Jane Doe No. 2 litigation, the deputy clerk, identified on the docket as "tp," declined to enter a default on the grounds that there had been "Improper Service." See 9:08-cv-80119-KAM [D.E. 7, 8]. In the Jane Doe No. 3 litigation, the deputy clerk has not yet ruled upon the plaintiff's motion. See Case No. 9:08-cv-80232-KAM [D.E. 5]. In the Jane Doe No. 4 and Jane Doe No. 5 litigation, the deputy clerk, identified on both docket sheets as "ail," entered the default. See Case No. 9:08-cv-80380-KAM [D.E. 7, 8] and Case No. 9:08-cv-80381-ICAM [D.E. 5, 6]. Since then, the plaintiff's attorney has moved for a judgment of default in those two cases (Jane Doe Nos. 4 and 5). See Case No. 9:08-cv-80380-ICAM [D.E. 9] and Case No. 9:08-cv-80381-KAM [D.E. 7]. + +and service is made in New York, service is effective when it complies with either Florida law or New York law, or alternatively, with federal procedure. + +As discussed below, because New York does not have a residency requirement for the person to whom substitute-service is delivered (and Florida and the federal rules do), service was effective only in accordance with New York procedure. Cf. RCP's Lear, LLC, 2008 WL 305103, at \*4 (resolving parties' dispute concerning the intended method of service, and applicable procedure). Stated differently, service did not comply with either federal procedure or Florida procedure. + +# New York Procedure—CPLR 308 (no residency requirement) + +Under New York law, service of process can be effected by delivering the summons "to a person of suitable age and discretion at the . . . dwelling place or usual place of abode of the [defendant]," and when the summons is "mailed to the [defendant] at his or her last known residence or . . . mail[ed] . . . by first class mail to the [defendant] at his or her actual place of business" in accordance with specific technical instructions. N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 308(2) (McKinney 2008). As an additional requirement, "proof of such service shall be filed with the clerk of the court designated in the summons within twenty days of either such delivery or mailing, whichever is effected later." Id. + +In accordance with New York procedure, such substituted service "shall be complete ten days after such filing." Id. (emphasis added). Accordingly, New York does not use the date of delivery to the person at the defendant's "abode" as the date service is effected. This was the point of error for the deputy clerk and the plaintiff's attorney. + +## Florida Procedure—Fla.,Stat.\* 48.031 (residency requirement) + +Under Florida law, service of process can be effected "by leaving the copies [of the summons and complaint] at [the defendant's] usual place of abode with any person residing therein who is 15 years of age or older and informing the person of their contents." Fla. Stat. § 48.031(1)(a) (2007) (emphasis added). Service is deemed effected as of the date of delivery. + +# Federal Procedure—Fed. R. Ch. P. 4 (e)(2)(B) (residency requirement) + +Service is effective, under federally authorized procedures, when copies of both the summons and the complaint are "le[ft] . . . at the individual's dwelling or usual place of abode with someone of suitable age and discretion who resides there." Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 (e)(2)(B). Again, service is deemed effected as of the date of delivery. + +#### Discussion + +Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's response to the complaint is not due until June 23. Accordingly, the clerk's entry of default was premature. For the following "good cause," it should be set aside. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c) ("The court may set aside an entry of default for good cause."). + +# A. Service was not made on someone who "resided" at the subject address. + +Substituted service was attempted on Richard Barnett at a house owned by Mr. Epstein located at 9 East 71st Street, New York, New York. See Affidavit of Service [D.E. 4]. Mr. Barnett has never lived there.4 (Barnett Aff.1 3.) + +### B. Because service was not made on someone who "resided" at the subject address, service was effective only in accordance with New York procedure. + +Of the three possible methods of service in this case—New York service, Florida service, and federal-rules service—only New York rules allow substituted service on someone who does not "reside" at the service address. Compare Fla. Stat. § 48.031(1)(a) (authorizing substituted service of process only on a person meeting certain criteria who "reside[s]" at the service address), and Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 (e)(2)(B) (same), with NY CPLR 308(2) (authorizing so-called "leave-and-mail" + +4 Indeed, in a motion for an order compelling the Clerk to enter default against Mr. Epstein, filed in connection with the Jane Doe No. 2 litigation, the plaintiff's attorney characterized Mr. Barnett simply as an "Assistant and House Staff Employee," not a resident of the property. Case No. 9:08-cv-80119-KAM [D.E. 9 at 2]. + +substituted service, which does not require delivery to a person who actually resides the service address). + +Because Mr. Barnett was not a resident of 9 East 71st Street, logically, service could have been effected only in accordance with New York procedure. + +# C. Service was effective as of June 2, not earlier. + +As noted above, Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 permits service according to the law "in the state . . . where service is made," here, New York. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e)(1). While New York permits substitute service on a non-resident at the defendant's "abode," such substituted service is not complete until 10 days after the affidavit reciting the method of service is actually filed with the Court. See NY CPLR 308(2). + +Although the summons was left with Mr. Barnett at Epstein's New York home on May 7, the affidavit of service was not filed with the Court until May 22. Accordingly, under NY CPLR 308(2), service is not deemed complete until 10 days later, which was June 2. Counting 20 days more according to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i) and 5, Mr. Epstein's response is still not due until June 23. Accordingly, the plaintiffs motion for default was almost three weeks early and the default was entered improperly. + +## D. "Actual" notice is irrelevant. + +In the related Jane Doe No. 2 case, the plaintiff advances the untenable position that the service rules are trumped simply because Epstein had "actual notice" of the complaints. See D.E. 9 at 4,1 9 (Jane Doe No. 2 v. Epstein, Case No. 9:08-cv-80119-ICAM) ("Defendant Epstein had actual notice of the filing of the Complaint, and the Plaintiff has exercised diligence and good faith in attempting to serve Defendant Epstein with process. Accordingly, entry of default is appropriate."). The Eleventh Circuit is clear, however, that "actual notice of a suit does not dispose of the requirements of service of process." v. Warden, FCC Coleman-USP, 259 Fed. Appx. 181, 182 n.2 (11th Cir. 2007) (citing Mfrs. Hanover Trust Co. v. Ponsoldt, 51 F.3d 938, 940 (11th Cir.1995)). + +## Conclusion + +We do not dispute that service was effective. We only dispute the date that it became effective. Since service was ineffective under both Florida law and the federal-rules alternative (because the recipient of the service did not "reside" at the address), the only service law that could apply is New York's. New York's rule for substituted-service does not start the 20-day clock for responding to the complaint until 10 days after the process-server's affidavit is filed with the Court. + +Accordingly, the 20-day clock did not start to tick (Le., service was not deemed to have been effected) until June 2. Counting time as provided by Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(3), Epstein has until June 23 to serve a response to the complaint. + +WHEREFORE, "good cause" having been showing under Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c), the clerk's default should not be entered. + +Respectfully submitted, + +ATTERBURY, GOLDBERGER & WEISS, P.A. + +250 Australian Avenue South, Suite 1400 West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 Tel: 561 659 8300 Fax: 561 835 8691 + +By: /s/ Jack A.

DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA + +CASE NO.. 08-CV-80232—MARRAH + +JANE DOE NO. 3, + +Plaintiff, + +vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +# DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR STAY + +Defendant Jeffrey Epstein respectfully moves for a mandatory stay of this action under Title 18, United States Code, Section 3509(k). As discussed below, this action is subject to a mandatory stay based on the existence of two pending parallel criminal actions. + +# Introduction + +This civil action is a private counterpart to two ongoing criminal actions, one in Palm Beach state court, the other in Miami federal court. Both cases purport to arise from the same occurrence: the alleged sexual assault of a minor, Jane Doe No. 3. A federal statute directly on point provides that when an alleged sexual assault involving a child victim results in a "criminal proceeding," a commonly + +derived civil suit "shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal action." 18 U.S.C. § 3509(k) (emphasis added).' A stay of this case is required until there is no longer a pending criminal action derived from the same underlying allegations. See 18 U.S.C. § 3509(k). + +### Discussion + +The parallel state criminal action pending in Palm Beach Circuit Court is still in the discovery phase. State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 2006 CF 09454 AXX (Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County). Meanwhile, there is also a parallel federal criminal grand jury action pending in the Southern District of Florida. In re Grand Jury, No. FGJ 07-103(WPB) (S.D. Fla.) Both cases arise out of the same occurrence and allege that the minor plaintiff is a victim. + +The language-of section 3509(k) of title 18, United States Code, is clear: a parallel "civil action shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal + +If, at any time that a cause of action for recovery of compensation for damage or injury to the person of a child exists, a criminal action is pending which arises out of the same occurrence and in which the child is the victim, the civil action shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal action and any mention of the civil action during the criminal proceeding is prohibited. As used in this subsection, a criminal action is pending until its final adjudication in the trial court. + +The full text of the mandatory-stay provision reads: + +18 U.S.C. § 3509(k). + +action." 18 U.S.C.. § 3509(k) (emphasis added). When it comes to statutory construction, the mandatory nature of the word "shall" is well-settled. See, e.g., .= 531 U.S. 230, 241 (2001) (noting Congress' "use of a mandatory `shall' to impose discretionless obligations") (emphasis added); Lexecon Inc. v. Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach, 523 U.S. 26, 35 (1998) (explaining that "the mandatory `shall' . . . normally creates an obligation impervious to judicial discretion") (emphasis added). Cf. \_My. .= 530 U.S. 327, 350 (2000) ("Through the PLRA [Prison Litigation Reform Act], Congress clearly intended to make operation of the automatic stay mandatory, precluding courts from exercising their equitable powers to enjoin the stay. And we conclude that this provision does not violate separation of powers principles.") (emphasis added). + +One district court within the Eleventh Circuit, facing the identical issue with a pending state prosecution, recently construed "the plain language of § 3509(k)" as "requiling] a stay in a case . . . where . . . a parallel criminal action [is] pending." Doe v. Francis, No. 5:03 CV 260 MCR/WCS, 2005 WL 950623, at \*2 (N.D. Fla. Apr. 20, 2005) (Francis II) (emphasis added). Accord Doe v. Francis, No. 5:03 CV 260 MCR/WCS, 2005 WL 517847, at \*1-2 (N.D. Fla. Feb. 10, 2005) (Francis 1) (staying federal civil action in favor of "a criminal case currently pending in state court in Bay County, Florida, arising from the same facts and involving the same parties as the Instant action," noting that "the language of 18 + +U.S.C. § 3509(k) is clear that a stay is required in a case such as this where a parallel criminal action is pending which arises from the same occurrence involving minor victims") (emphasis added). There is no contrary opinion from any court. + +In determining that the federal stay provision is mandatory, the Francis II court expressed that there was apparently no case law supporting, or even "discussing the [avoidance] of a stay [under the command of] § 3509(k)." Francis II, 2005 WL 950623, at \*2. Deferring to the statute as written, the Francis H court rejected the plaintiffs' argument that some of the alleged victims had already reached their majority. See id. The court similarly rejected the plaintiffs' argument that it would be in the victims' best interests to avoid a stay so as to counteract the victims' "ongoing and increasing mental harm due to the `frustrating delay in both the criminal case and [the civil] case.' Id. The Francis H court, in adhering to the plain language of the statute, also adhered to the "well established priority of criminal proceedings over civil proceedings." Cf. United States v. Hanhardt, 156 F. Supp. 2d 988, 1000 (N.D. Ill. 2001) (citing Fed. R. Crim. P. 50(a)). + +#### Conclusion + +Because this civil action arises from the same allegations as two pending criminal actions, § 3509(k) mandates a stay of this civil action. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein respectfully requests that the Court enter a stay under 18 U.S.C. § 3509(k), coextensive with the state and federal criminal actions. + +Respectfully submitted, + +ATTERBURY, GOLDBERGER & WEISS, P.A. + +250 Australian Avenue South, Suite 1400 West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 Tel: 561 659 8300 Fax: 561 835 8691 + +By: /s/ Jack A.

DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA + +CASE NO.: 08-CV-80232-MARRA + +JANE DOE NO. 3, + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +# REPLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR ENTRY OF CLERK'S DEFAULT + +Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 3, by and through her undersigned counsel, submits this Reply Memorandum in Support of Motion for Entry of Clerk's Default, as follows: + +# Introduction + +Defendant Jeffrey Epstein claims that service of process on him was ineffective under Florida or Federal law, based solely on a "bare bones" affidavit that raises more questions than it answers. At a minimum, the issue of whether service was effective under Florida or Federal law is at this point one of fact which should be the subject of discovery. + +#### The Affidavit Attached to the Defendant's Response to the Motion is Insufficient + +Service of process was effected at Jeffrey Epstein's New York residence on May 7, 2008, at 7:45 a.m. by handing a copy of the Summons and Complaint to a person in Defendant's residence who refused to identify himself. (See Affidavit of Service). Defendant now attaches to his Response as Exhibit "A" the Affidavit of Richard Barnett, who claims to have received the copies of the Summons and Complaint on May 7, 2008 at Defendant Epstein's residence. In this Affidavit, + +Mr. Barnett states very little. He asserts that he does not now, nor has he ever, resided at 9 E. 71st Street, New York, New York (Mr. Epstein's residence). He fails to state in this Affidavit, however, where he does live, if not at the residence in question; what he was doing at the subject address when service was made; his relationship with Defendant Epstein, and how often he was at the residence; or why he refused to identify himself to the process server. He also fails to state who instructed him to answer the door on May 7, 2008 and take service anonymously. + +The Court may grant limited discovery on the issue of service of process. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico v. SS Zoc Colocotroni 61 F.R.D. 653, 656-57 (D.P.R. 1974) ("discovery regarding the legal sufficiency of service of process so as to acquire in personam jurisdiction over the person of a defendant is permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, specifically Rule 26"). See also Blair v. City of Worcester, 522 F.3d 105, Ill (1st Cir. 2008); Monteiro v. San Nicolas, S.A., 254 F.2d 514, 516-17 (2d Cir. 1958) (holding that discovery was appropriate on disputed issues of service of process). The parties do not dispute that if the person who in fact received the copies of the summons and complaint resided at the residence, then service would have been valid under Florida or Federal law on May 7, 2008.1 See National Development Co. v. Triad Holding Corp. 930 F.2d 253 (2d Cir. 1991) (upholding service of process on housekeeper of defendant's New York apartment, under Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(d)(1) [now 4(e)(2)], because the defendant was actually living in the apartment at the time service was effected). Alternatively, if the difficulties encountered in + +' Defendant notes that under Rule 4(e) there is no priority between alternative methods of service. This means that Plaintiff has the option of perfecting service under either federal law, the law of the forum state, or the law of the state where service is made: "Either may be turned to with no attempted prior resort to the other." Fed.R.Civ.P. 4 (Commentary C4-22). It does not stand, however, for the proposition that the defendant can accept service under New York law, while ignoring valid service under Florida or Federal law. Accordingly, once valid service was made on Defendant Epstein under Federal or Florida law on May 7, 2008, Defendant was required to answer to otherwise respond to the Complaint by May 27, 2008 to avoid default, which he failed to do. + +serving Mr. Epstein were the result of Mr. Epstein's deliberate avoidance or deception, while knowing of the lawsuit, then it would likewise be appropriate to find good service and a default. deg + +Keevan & Son , Inc. v. Callier Pipe & Tube, Inc., 107 F.R.C. 665, 671-72 (S.D. Fl.a. 1985) ("[e]ffective service is most likely found when a defendant has engaged in deception to avoid service of process"). Based on what Mr. Bamett's Affidavit does not disclose, Plaintiff should be granted discovery to determine whether service was proper under Florida or Federal law. Plaintiff would at a minimum like to take the depositions of Mr. Barnett and Mr. Epstein with regard to the service of process issues that have arisen in this matter. + +# Conclusion + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff requests that this Court allow Plaintiff to take discovery on the issue of service of process; conduct an evidentiary hearing on the validity of service under Florida or Federal law; enter an Order compelling the Clerk to enter a default against Defendant Epstein pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a); and such other and further relief as this Court deems proper. + +Dated: June 24, 2008.

Defendant filed his Motion for Stay on June 20, 2008. Plaintiffs response is due on or before July 10, 2008. +- 2. Defendant's Motion for Stay is based upon the existence of purported parallel criminal actions, and is grounded in section 3509(k) of Title 18, United States Code. +- 3. Subsequent to filing his Motion for Stay on July 1, 2008, Defendant Epstein filed a Notice advising this Court that the State Court criminal action against the Defendant was resolved, but that the federal criminal proceeding remained pending. It is Plaintiff's counsel's understanding from press reports, however, that the federal criminal proceeding will be resolved in the same plea deal, which would make the Defendant's Motion for Stay moot.' +- 4. Therefore, Plaintiff respectfully requests a brief enlargement of time of twenty (20 days) within which to file a memorandum in opposition to Defendant's Motion for Stay. This + +request for enlargement of time is in the interest of judicial economy and efficiency. + +- 5. Additionally, Plaintiffs counsel requests this enlargement of time due to the demands on their time in other cases and matters. +- 6.

V-MARRA/ + +JANE DOE NO. 3, + +Plaintiff, + +v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +## ORDER DENYING MOTION TO SEAL + +THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to File Ex Parte and Under Seal, filed July 10, 2008. Defendant seeks to file a Notice of Continued Pendency of Federal Criminal Action under seal.' The Court has carefully considered the motion and the record and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +As stated in the Local Rules for the Southern District of Florida, "proceedings in the United States District Court are public and Court filings are matters of public record." S.D. Fla. L.R. 5.4(A). It is well settled that the media and the public in general possess a common-law right to inspect and copy judicial records. See Nixon v. Warner Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 (1978). "The right to inspect and copy records is not absolute, however. As with other forms of access, it may interfere with the administration of justice and hence may have to be curtailed." v. Graddick, 696 F.2d 796, 803 (11th Cir.1983). This right of access creates + +'All documents filed conventionally shall henceforth be filed directly with the Office of the Clerk in West Palm Beach, Florida. The parties shall not file documents conventionally in any other division of the Southern District of Florida. + +a presumption in favor of openness of court records, which "must be balanced against any competing interest advanced." United States v. Noriega, 752 F. Supp. 1037, 1040 (S.D. Fla.1990). For example, courts may look to see whether the records sought are for illegitimate purposes. 696 F.2d at 803. Likewise, the Court may consider whether "the press has already been permitted substantial access to the contents of the records." Id. + +In his motion to seal, Defendant has made no argument as to why his Notice of Continued Pendency of Federal Criminal Action should not be made available to the public. Defendant states only that he wishes ItIo avoid disclosure of confidential material." (Def. Mot. 2.) The Court finds this justification insufficient to justify keeping this document (filed ex parte) under seal. The Court is supported in this conclusion by its decision in a similar case, In re: Jane Doe, No. 08-80736-C1V (S.D. Fla. July I1, 2008), in which the Court unsealed, over the objection of the United States Attorney, documents containing similar information regarding Defendant's criminal plea agreement. Thus, any argument regarding confidentiality is vitiated by the fact that information regarding Defendant's criminal plea arrangement is already a matter of public record. See, e.g., Sally Apgar, Victims Object to Palm Beach Billionaire's Plea Deal in Underage Sex Case, S. Fla. Sun-Sentinel, July 12, 2008. Similarly, Defendant has not justified the necessity of filing his Notice ex parte. As such, Defendant's Motion to Seal shall be denied. + +Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant's Motion to File Ex Pare and Under Seal is DENIED. The Clerk shall UNSEAL docket entries 14 and 15 and make them available for public inspection through CM/ECF at the earliest possible time. Defendant is further ORDERED to serve a copy of his Notice on Plaintiff within five (5) days of the date of + +entry of this Order. + +DONE AND ORDERED in at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, + +Florida, this 16ih day of July, 2008. + +Copies furnished to: all counsel of record KENNETH A.

(DE 4.) + +# Discussion + +Rule 4(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure states that an individual may be served by "following state law for serving a summons in an action brought in courts of general jurisdiction in the state where the district court is located or where service is made." Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e)(I). Alternatively, service may be made by leaving a copy of the summons and complaint at the individual's place of abode "with someone of suitable age and discretion who resides there." Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e)(2)(B). + +Plaintiff claims that service in this case is valid pursuant to either Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(eX2XB) or Florida law. Like the Federal Rules, Florida law requires that process be left at the individual's usual place of abode "with any person residing therein who is 15 years of age or older." Fla. Stat. § 48.031(1)(a). The affidavit of service (DE 4) states that the summons and complaint were left with "John at Defendant's usual place of abode. From this declaration, the Court cannot determine whether "John resides at the Manhattan apartment. Further, Defendant has submitted the affidavit of Richard Barnett, who avers that he received copies of the summons and complaint on May 7, 2008, from the process server. (DE 9 Ex. A.) Because Plaintiff has provided no indication to suggest that "John M' resides at the apartment, the Court concludes that Plaintiff did not effect valid service on Defendant under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(eX2XB) or Fla. Stat. § 48.031(1)(a). + +The Court does not believe that Plaintiff's request for discovery on the issue of service is necessary, because service of process was made pursuant to New York law. Under New York + +law, personal service may be made on an individual by + +delivering the summons within the state to a person of suitable age and discretion at the actual place of business, dwelling place or usual place of abode of the person to be served and by either mailing the summons to the person to be served at his or her last known residence or by mailing the summons by first class mail to the person to be served at his or her actual place of business in an envelope bearing the legend "personal and confidential" and not indicating on the outside thereof, by return address or otherwise, that the communication is from an attorney or concerns an action against the person to be served, such delivery and mailing to be effected within twenty days of each other. + +N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 308(2) (McKinney 2008) (emphasis added). New York law does not require the person receiving the summons and complaint at the individual's place of abode to reside at that location. See, e.g., Boston Safe Deposit and Tryst Co. v. Morse, 779 F. Supp. 347, 350 (S.D.N.Y. 1991); Al Fayed v. Barak, 833 N.Y.S. 2d 500, 501 (N.Y. App. Div. 2007). + +In this case, the affidavit of service states that "John was a person of suitable age and discretion who accepted a copy of the summons and complaint at Defendant's actual apartment. (DE 4.) Thus, under New York law, delivery of the summons and complaint to "John was appropriate. Because the summons and complaint were mailed to Defendant and delivered to his residence within twenty days of each other, Plaintiff took all necessary steps to serve Defendant under New York law. + +As Defendant recognizes, New York law also requires that proof of service be "filed with the clerk of the court designated in the summons within twenty days of either such delivery or mailing, whichever is effected later." N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 308(2). Here, Plaintiff is in compliance with this requirement as well: delivery was made on May 7, 2008, and proof of service was filed with the Clerk of the Court on May 22, 2008. (DE 4.) Thus, service was deemed complete as of June 2, 2008, under New York law. See N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 308(2) (stating "service shall be complete ten days after" filing of proof of service). + +Nevertheless, Defendant's analysis is not entirely correct. In calculating when Defendant's response was due, the Court turns to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a), which states that a defendant must serve an answer within twenty days of being served with the summons and complaint. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(aX I XAXi). Under this rule, Defendant was required to respond to the Complaint within twenty days from the receipt of the summons; the rule does not suggest a longer period of time is available when substituted service is used to serve a defendant. While Rule 4(e)(1) allows Plaintiff to serve process on Defendant in the method permitted by New York, Rule 4(e)(I) does not alter the twenty day period specified by Rule 12(a). In other words, under Rules 4(e)(1) and 12(a), the Court is not bound by New York's proof of service filing requirement nor New York's "completion" date in determining when Defendant's answer needed to be filed. Beller & v. Tyler, 120 F.3d 21, 25-26 (2d Cir. 1997) (reconciling the deadlines imposed by Rule 12(a) and N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 308). Instead, once Defendant received a copy of the summons and complaint, Defendant had twenty days to respond. Id. ("[A] defendant has twenty days from the receipt of the summons to file an answer .... This is so even if ... the defendant is served pursuant to a state law method of service and the state law provides a longer time in which to answer."). Thus, Defendant's response was due on May 27, 2007.1 + +'In Tyler, the court acknowledged that, because service was made in part by mail, the defendant may have the benefit of three extra days to respond per Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(e). Tyler, 120 F.3d at 26. In this case, Plaintiff's server mailed the summons and complaint on May 5, 2008. Thus, under this scheme, Defendant would have had until May 28, 2008, to respond. Either way, Defendant failed to appear int his case until June 13, 2008. + +### Conclusion + +Accordingly, Defendant is hereby ORDERED to file a report with the Court showing good cause why default should not be entered for failure to respond to the Complaint in a timely manner within ten (10) days from the date of entry of this Order. Plaintiff may respond to Defendant's report within the time allotted by the Local Rules. Failure to respond to this Order shall result in an entry of default against Defendant. + +DONE AND ORDERED in at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, this 16"' day of July, 2008. + +> KENNETH A.

+Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +# PLAINTIFF'S MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR STAY + +Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 3, by and through her undersigned counsel, submits this Memorandum of Law in Response to Motion for Stay, as follows: + +# INTRODUCTION + +Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Stay this action is based on the incorrect premise that there are criminal actions pending against him in Palm Beach Circuit Court, State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 2006 CF 09454 AXXMB (Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County), and in the Southern District of Florida, In re Grand Jury, No. FGJ 07-103 (WPB) (S.D. Fla.). The Motion to Stay as to the state court criminal action was rendered moot on June 30, 2008 when Jeffrey Epstein entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida Statute §796.07 (felony solicitation of prostitution) and §796.03 (procurement of minors to engage in prostitution) in the state criminal action. (See Defendant's Notice Concerning Motion to Stay dated July 1, 2008). Jeffrey Epstein, now an admitted sex offender, was sentenced to a term of imprisonment followed by community control and sex offender registration. + +As to the federal prosecution, Defendant's mistitled "Notice of Continued Pendency of + +Federal Criminal Action," which has now been unsealed, makes clear that there is in fact no criminal federal action pending. This Notice discloses a confidential Agreement between the U.S. Attorney and Defendant, the terms of which were triggered when Epstein began serving his state imposed criminal sentence. Under the Agreement, according to the Notice, the U.S. Attorney "agreed to suspend its grand jury investigation", while "retail-1ring] the right to reactivate the grand jury and indict Mr. Epstein should he breach any part of the Agreement during its term, which runs for 33 months, beginning on the date Mr. Epstein began serving his sentence in the Florida Criminal Action." (The terms of this Agreement are also described in the notice letter to the victim Plaintiff, a redacted copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".) Accordingly, as represented in Defendant's own filing, Mr. Epstein is not under indictment and the grand jury is not active in his case. There is simply no pending criminal action, a necessary prerequisite for a stay under 28 U.S.C. §3509(k). + +Additionally, the stay provision of 18 U.S.C. 3509(k) is limited to circumstances in which the plaintiff is a "a person who is under the age of 18..." The Statute is therefore inapplicable in that Plaintiff is not a minor, and was not a minor when she filed this lawsuit. The Motion is also procedurally defective because (i) Defendant failed to comply with the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in that Defendant's counsel neither conferred nor attempted to confer with counsel for the Plaintiff as to the relief request prior to filing the Motion to Stay; and (ii) in light of changed circumstances after the tiling of the Motion to Stay, the Motion fails to inform the Plaintiff or the Court of the grounds for the relief sought. + +For the foregoing reasons, Defendant's Motion to Stay must be denied in its entirety. + +THE DEFENDANT HAS NOT DEMONSTRATED THAT 28 U.S.C. §3509(k) IS APPLICABLE AND A STAY MANDATED + +As the movant, it is the Defendant's burden to demonstrate that the requirements for a stay have been met. He has not met this burden. 18 U.S.C. §3509(k) states as follows: + +Stay of civil action. -- If, at any time that a cause of action for recovery of compensation for damage or injury to the person of a child exists, a criminal action is pending which arises out of the same occurrence and in which the child is the victim, the civil action shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal action and any mention of the civil action during the criminal proceeding is prohibited. As used in this subsection, a criminal action is pending until its final adjudication in the trial court. + +(emphasis added). + +A threshold inquiry in determining whether to invoke the stay provision of 18 U.S.C. §3509(k) is whether the plaintiff in a civil action is also the victim of a "criminal action ...pending which arises out of the same occurrence and in which the child is the victim...." (Emphasis supplied). Given Jeffrey Epstein's plea of guilty to the criminal charges in the state case and the Agreement entered into with the U.S. Attorney, his argument that a stay of this lawsuit should be granted because of pending criminal charges appears at this point to be specious. Nonetheless, Defendant Epstein represents to this Court in his "Notice Concerning Motion to Stay" dated July 1, 2008 that "the federal criminal proceeding . . . remains pending." No further explanation is provided. The argument supporting this assertion is unknown to Plaintiff. There is no indication in the statutory language or elsewhere that 18 U.S.C. §3509(k) can be applicable in a situation, such as here, where there is an agreement concerning federal crimes but there has been no indictment. + +The notice letter attached hereto as Exhibit "A" further sets forth one of the conditions imposed by Mr. Epstein's Agreement with the U.S. Attorney, as follows: "Any person [including + +'The developments relating to the Defendant's plea deal arose after the Defendant filed his Motion to Stay. As a result, the Motion does not explain why a stay is justified under the present circumstances. Plaintiff is at a disadvantage in filing this Memorandum in Response, and is left to guess as the present grounds for the Motion. For this reason alone, the Motion should be denied. + +this plaintiff], who while a minor, was a victim of a violation of an offense enumerated in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, will have the same rights to proceed under Section 2255 as she would have had, if Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense." Thus, not only is a necessary prerequisite for a statutory stay missing in that no criminal case is pending, but a stay under 28 U.S.C. §3509(k) would be inconsistent with Mr. Epstein's Agreement with the U.S. Attorney, which contemplates civil claims by victims pursuant to federal law. Defendant Epstein apparently contends that a stay should nonetheless apply for the next 33 months, preventing for this extended period the civil litigation of these claims, to see if Mr. Epstein complies with his Agreement. Needless to say, this would be absurd. It cannot be seriously argued in the circumstances of this case that a stay under 28 U.S.C. §3509(k) is mandated because there is a "pending" federal criminal action. + +# 18 U.S.C. §3509(k) DOES NOT AUTHORIZE A STAY OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT FILED BY AN ADULT PLAINTIFF + +Even if there were a criminal case pending, which there is not, 18 U.S.C. §3509(k) would not apply to the claim of a child victim who is now an adult. This Statute applies in situations in which a child who has been the victim of sexual abuse is the plaintiff in a civil lawsuit at the same time that the child is a victim in a criminal proceeding arising out of the same occurrence. That is not the case here. The Plaintiff is an adult and was an adult at the time she filed this civil lawsuit. Defendant misinterprets 18 U.S.C. §3509(k) to suggest that the Statute also applies in instances where an adult plaintiff in the civil lawsuit was a victim of sexual abuse during childhood. A careful reading of the definitions section of 18 U.S.C. §3509 reveals that Defendant's interpretation is incorrect. 18 U.S.C. §3509(a)(2) (defining "child" as person who is under the age of 18). + +18 U.S.C. §3509(k) states, in relevant part, as follows: + +(k) Stay of civil action. -- If, at any time that a cause of action for recovery of compensation for damage or injury to the person of a child exists, a criminal action is pending which arises out of the same occurrence and in which the child is the victim, the civil action shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal action.... + +(emphasis added). + +18 U.S.C. §3509(2) defines as a "child" as "a person who is under the age of 18." Thus, the term "child" is limited for purposes of 18 U.S.C. §3509 to a person who is currently under the age of 18. While the statute could have been written to say "a person who is under the age of 18 or was under the age of 18 at the time of the abuse", it does not. Yet, this is the precise interpretation suggested by the Defendant. + +The plaintiff's interpretation of 18 U.S.C. §3509(k) is not only consistent with the plain language of the statute, but also with the policies underlying the stay provision. The statute is designed to protect children who are involved in legal proceedings arising from physical, sexual, or mental abuse. For instance, 18 U.S.C. §3509 provides protections for persons under the age of 18, including alternatives to live in-court testimony, competency examinations, psychological examinations, privacy issues, filing under seal, closing the courtroom, the handling of videotaped testimony, adult attendants, speedy trials, the use of guardians ad !item and testimonial aids. Each of these protections is only implicated when the victim "is under the age of 18." See 18 U.S.C. §3509(a)(2). In the context of a civil lawsuit, a child similarly needs protection from the possibility of concurrent proceedings involving deposition or trial testimony, psychological examinations, and competency examinations. Moreover, the use of a stay of a civil lawsuit involving a child-plaintiff may be particularly warranted in circumstances where the child may not have had made the decision to file the lawsuit in the first instance. Thus, the law protects the children from multiple concurrent proceedings. These concerns do not exist to the same degree when a competent adult such as the Plaintiff elects to file suit on her own behalf. Yet, the Defendant seeks to carve out an exception where none exists by arguing that the "Stay of Civil Action" provision in subsection (k) must be applied to victims who are 18 or older who were under the age of 18 at the time of their abuse. This argument is unsupported by the statute or its underlying policies. + +The unpublished, trial court decisions cited by Defendant of Doe v. Francis 2005 WL 517487 (N.D. Fla. Apr. 20, 2005) (Francis I) and Doe v. Francis 2005 WL 950623 (N.D. Fla. Apr. 20, 2005) (Francis 11) are readily distinguishable. The Plaintiffs in Francis I and Francis 11 "offered no legal authority or evidence to support their argument that the stay should be lifted." Francis 11,at\*l. By contrast, in this case, the Plaintiff has cited the definition of "child" found in 18 U.S.C. §3509(a)(2). The Francis cases also involved seven plaintiffs, three of whom were victims in the criminal case. That is not the case here were the only plaintiff in this lawsuit is not a victim in a pending criminal case. Additionally, the stay in the Francis cases was imposed before the plaintiffs reached the age of majority. Here, the civil lawsuit was not even filed until after the plaintiff reached the age of majority. + +#### DEFENDANT'S MOTION SHOULD BE DENIED IN THAT DEFENDANT DID NOT CONFER WITH PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL PRIOR TO FILING HIS MOTION, AND THE MOTION FAILS TO INFORM PLAINTIFF OR THE COURT OF THE GROUNDS FOR RELIEF IN LIGHT OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES + +Defendant's Motion should be denied in that Defendant failed to comply with the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in that Defendant's counsel neither conferred nor attempted to confer with counsel for the Plaintiff as to the relief request prior to filing the Motion to Stay. See S.D. Fla. L. R. 7.1.A.3. Notably, Defendant's Motion also contains no certification as to any such attempt as required by the Local Rules. Ste id. The Local Rules provide that the "fflailure to comply with the requirements of this rule may be cause for the court to grant or deny the motion and impose on counsel an appropriate sanction, which may include an order to pay the amount of the reasonable expenses incurred because of the violation, including a reasonable attorney's fee." Id. + +Finally, when the circumstances materially changed after the filing of the Motion, it was incumbent upon the Defendant to either withdraw the Motion or at least amend it to explain the grounds for a stay in light of the plea deal. Defendant has not done so, to the prejudice of Plaintiff in preparing this Memorandum in response. For this reason alone the Motion to Stay should be denied. + +# CONCLUSION + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff requests that this Court deny Defendant's Motion to Stay pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3509(k) in its entirety, award attorney's fees to Plaintiff for Defendant's failure to comply with Southern District of Florida Local Rule 7. I .A.3, and all other relief this Court deems just and appropriate. + +Dated: July 18, 2008. Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Jeffrey M. Herman Jeffrey M.

The motion is now fully briefed and is ripe for review. The Court has carefully considered the motion and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +On July 16, 2008, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause' why default should not be entered against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein (DE 17), arguing that Defendant had let more than twenty days elapse after service of process before attempting to respond to the Complaint.

C.P.L.R. § 308(2) (McKinney 2008) (emphasis added). Based on the Court's reading of the Affidavit of Service (DE 4), it appeared that Plaintiff's process server had mailed a copy of the Summons and Complaint to Defendant on May 5, 2008. What appeared to be a distortion in the document due to its electronic upload into the Court's CM/ECF system, however, was apparently a line striking the language from the affidavit regarding the mailing of the Summons and Complaint. (See DE 21.) Plaintiff brought this error to the Court's attention after the Court issued its Order to Show Cause. + +Because the Summons and Complaint were not mailed to Defendant, service was not accomplished under New York law' See N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 308(2). Further, as the Court has already explained, service was not effective under either the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or Florida law' Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default Against Defendant(DE 5) is DENIED. Plaintiff shall have forty-five (45) days from the date of entry of this Order to serve a copy of the Summons and Complaint on Defendant. Failure to serve Defendant within forty-five days shall result in dismissal of the above-styled action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). It is further ORDERED that Defendant is relieved of responsibility from responding to the Court's + +'Interestingly, Plaintiff did not bring this issue to the Court's attention in its Reply brief. Defendant's Response to the Motion (DE 10) made clear that he assumed all the steps were taken to serve Defendant in accordance with New York law, including that copies were sent through the mail.

'The Court again declines to allow discovery on whether Richard Bamett resides at Defendant's New York home. Mr. Barnett submitted an affidavit sworn under penalty of perjury that he does not reside at that address. (See Barnett Aff.) Plaintiff has not submitted any evidence to suggest that Mr. Bamett is not credible, so allowing discovery on this point would simply be a waste of resources.

I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley School of Law (Boalt III in 1993. After serving as ajudicial clerk to the Hon. David F. Levi in Sacramento, California, I was admitted to practice in California in 1995. I also am admitted to practice in all courts of the states of Minnesota and Florida, the Eighth, Eleventh, and Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of Florida, the District of Minnesota, and the Northern District of California. My bar admission status in California and Minnesota is currently inactive. I am currently employed as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of Florida and was so employed during all of the events described herein. + +2. I am the Assistant United States Attorney assigned to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"). The federal investigation was initiated in 2006 at the request of the Palm Beach Police Department ("PBPD") into allegations that Jeffrey Epstein, and his personal assistants had used facilities of interstate commerce to induce young girls between the ages of thirteen and seventeen to engage in prostitution, amongst other offenses. + +3. Throughout the investigation, when a victim was identified, victim notification letters were provided to her both from your Affiant and from the FBI's Victim-Witness Specialist. Attached hereto are copies of the letters provided to MN three clients, T.M., C.W., and S.R.' Your Affiant's letter to C.W. was provided by the FBI. (Ex. 1). Your Affiant's letter to T.M. was hand-delivered by myself to T.M. at the time that she was interviewed (Ex. 2).2 Both C.W. and T.M. also received letters from the FBI's Victim-Witness Specialist, which were sent on January 10, 2008 (Exs. 3 & 4). S.R. was identified via the FBI's investigation in 2007, but she initially refused to speak with investigators.

The FBI's Victim-Witness Specialist sent a letter to S.R. on May 30, 2008 (Ex. 5). + +4. Throughout the investigation, the FBI agents, the FBI's Victim-Witness Specialist, and your A fliant had contact with C. W. and S.R. Attorney other client, T.M., was represented by counsel and, accordingly, all contact with T.M. was made through that attorney. That attorney was James Eisenberg, and his fees were paid by Jeffrey Epstein,. the target of the investigation! + +5. In the summer of 2007, Mr. Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida ("the Office") entered into negotiations to resolve the investigation. At that time, Mr. Epstein had been charged by the State of Florida with solicitation of prostitution, in violation of Florida Statutes § 796.07. Mr. Epstein's attorneys sought a global resolution of the matter. The United States subsequently agreed to defer federal prosecution in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, so long as certain basic preconditions were met. One of the key objectives for the Government was to preserve a federal remedy for the young girls whom Epstein had sexually exploited. Thus, one condition of that agreement, notice of which was provided to the victims on July 9, 2008. is the following: + +"Any person, who while a minor, was a victim of a violation of an offense enumerated in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, will have the same rights to proceed under Section 2255 as she would have had, if Mr. Epstein + +3The undersigned does not know when Mr. began representing T.M. or whether T.M. ever formally terminated Mr. Eisenberg's representation. + +had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense. For purposes of implementing this paragraph, the United States shall provide Mr. Epstein'S attorneys with a list of individuals whom it was prepared to name in an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense by Mr. Epstein. Any judicial authority interpreting this provision, including any authority determining which evidentiary burdens if any a plaintiff must meet, shall consider that it is the intent of the parties to place these identified victims in the same position as they would have been had Mr. Epstein been convicted at trial. No more; no less." + +6. An agreement was reached in September 2007. The Agreement contained an express confidentiality provision. + +7. Although individual victims were not consulted regarding the agreement, several had expressed concerns regarding the exposure of their identities at trial and they desired a prompt resolution of the matter. At the time the agreement was signed in September 2007, T.M. was openly hostile to the prosecution of Epstein. The FBI attempted to interview S.R. in October 2007, at which time she refused to provide any information regarding Jeffrey Epstein. None of Attorney clients had expressed a desire to be consulted prior to the resolution of the federal investigation. + +8. As explained above, one of the terms of the agreement deferring prosecution to the State of Florida was securing a federal remedy for the victims. In October 2007, shortly after the agreement was signed, four victims were contacted and these provisions were discussed. One of those victims was C.V.-who at the time wag not represented, and she was given notice of the agreement. Notice was also provided of an expected change of plea in October 2007. When Epstein's attorneys learned that some of the victims had been + +notified, they complained that the victims were receiving an incentive to overstate their involvement with Mr. Epstein in order to increase their damages claims. Mile your Affiant knew that the victims' statements had been taken and corroborated with independent evidence well before they were informed of the potential for damages, the agents and I concluded that informing additional victims could compromise the witnesses' credibility at trial if Epstein reneged on the agreement. + +9. After C.W. had been notified of the terms of the agreement, but before Epstein • performed his obligations, C.W. contacted the FBI because Epstein's counsel was attempting to take her deposition and private investigators were harassing her. Your Affiant secured pro bono counsel to represent C.W. and several other identified victims. Pro bono counsel was able to assist C.W. in avoiding the improper deposition. That pro bono counsel did not express to your Affiant that C.W. was dissatisfied with the resolution of the matter. + +10. In mid-June 2008, Attorney contacted your Affiant to inform me that he represented C.W. and S.R. and asked to meet to provide me with information regarding Epstein. I invited Attorney to send to me any information that he wanted me to consider. Nothing was provided. I also advised Attorney that he should consider contacting the State Attorney's Office, if he so wished. I understand that no contact with that office was made. Attorney EdWards hid 'alluded to T.M:, sol ildcjiged him that, to my knowledge, T.M. was still represented by Attorney James Eisenberg. + +• 1 I. On Friday, June 27, 2008, at approximate 4:15 p.m., your Affiant received a copy of the proposed state plea agreement and learned that the plea was scheduled for 8:30 a.m., Monday, lune 30, 2008. Your Affiant and the Palm Beach Police Department attempted to provide notification to victims in the short time that Epstein's counsel had given us. Although all known victims were not notified, your Affiant specifically called attorney to provide notice to his clients regarding the hearing. Your Affiant believes that it was during this conversation that Attorney notified me that he represented T.M., and I assumed that he would pass on the notice to her, as well. Attorney informed your Affiant that he could not attend but that someone would be present at the hearing. Your Affiant attended the hearing, but none of Attorney I= clients was present. + +12. On today's date, your Affiant provided the attached victim notifications to C.W. and S.R. via their attorney, (Exs. 6 & 7). A notification was not provided to T.M. because the U.S. Attorney's modification limited Epstein's liability to victims whom the United States was prepared to name in an indictment. In light of T.M.'s prior statements to law enforcement, your Affiant could not in good faith include T.M. as a victim in an indictment and, accordingly, could not include her in the list provided to Epstein's counsel. + +13. Furthermore, with respeet fdtheCertifieaticiri of Emergency, Attorney did not ever contact me prior to the filing of that Certification to demand the relief that he requests in his Emergency Petition. On the afternoon ofluly 7, 2008, after your Affiant had + +already received the Certification of Emergency and Emergency Petition, I received a letter from Attorney [REDACTED] that had been sent, via Certified Mail, on July 3, 2008. While that letter urges the Attorney General and the United States Attorney to consider "vigorous enforcement" of federal laws with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, it contains no demand for the relief requested in the Emergency Petition. + +14.

S.D. Fla. L.R. 5.4(A). It is well settled that the media and the public in general possess a common-law right to inspect and copy judicial records. See Nixon v. Warner Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 (1978). "The right to inspect and copy records is not absolute, however. As with other forms of access, it may interfere with the administration of justice and hence may have to be curtailed." v.

Supp. 1037, 1040 (S.D. Fla.1990). For example, courts may look to see whether the records sought are for illegitimate purposes. 696 F.2d at 803. Likewise, the Court may consider whether "the press has already been permitted substantial access to the contents of the records." Id. + +In his motion to seal, Defendant states that he seeks to file this document under seal "to comply with the confidentiality clause" in the agreement between Defendant and the U.S. Attorney cited in his brief. (Del. Mot. 2.) The Court is familiar with the U.S. Attorney's objections to unsealing any part of the agreement, see In re: Jane Doe, No. 08-80736-C1V (S.D. Fla. July 11, 2008). However, as the Court has previously held, the U.S. Attorney's objections do not outweigh the public interest in having access to court records. Further, the details of the agreement contained in Defendant's Reply brief have, in large part, already been unsealed and released to the public. The Court finds no justification to keep these documents under seal. + +Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant's Motion to File Under Seal is DENIED.

The motion is now fully briefed and is ripe for review. The Court has carefully considered the motion and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +Defendant Jeffrey Epstein ("Defendant") seeks a stay of this civil action under a federal statute which reads, in pertinent part, as follows: + +> If, at any time that a cause of action for recovery of compensation for damage or injury to the person of a child exists, a criminal action is pending which arises out of the same occurrence and in which the child is the victim, the civil action shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal action and any mention of the civil action during the criminal proceeding is prohibited. As used in this subsection, a criminal action is pending until its final adjudication in the trial court. + +18 U.S.C. § 3509 (k). In his motion, Defendant cites a state case, Florida v. Epstein, No. 2006 + +CF 09454AXX (Fla. Cir. Ct. 2008)' and a federal case, In re Grand Jury, No. FGJ 07-I03(WPB) (S.D. Fla.), that arise out of the same occurrences and are pending and thus require a stay of this civil case. The federal "case," according to Defendant, involves a "deferred-prosecution" agreement whereby the U.S. Attorney agreed to suspend its investigation of Defendant while "retaining the right to reactivate the grand jury." (DE 19.) Defendant essentially reasons, because the U.S. Attorney could bring criminal charges against Defendant, that a criminal action is "pending." The Court rejects this definition of a "pending criminal action." + +When interpreting the text of a statute, the Court begins with the plain meaning of the text. In re=, 524 F.3d 1175, 1186 (1Ith Cir. 2008). If the plain meaning of a statute is clear, the Court should not deviate from that interpretation. Id. Pending is defined as "remaining undecided" and "awaiting decision." Blacks Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004).2 Likewise, an + +'As Defendant recognizes, the state court case was "finally adjudicated" and thus no longer pending as of June 30, 2008. (See DE II.) + +'Defendant attempts to argue that the fact that grand jury subpoenas are still "outstanding" and "not withdrawn" and that the grand jury will not be dismissed until Defendant completes his obligations under the state plea agreement means that a "criminal action" is "pending." (Def. Reply 4.) Defendant misunderstands the purpose of a grand jury. A grand jury, as Blackstone writes, is composed of citizens who "inquire, upon their oaths, whether there be sufficient cause to call upon the party to answer" the charge of criminal activity. Beavers v. Henkel, 194 U.S. 73, 84 (1904) (quoting William Blackstone, 4 Commentaries \*303). The grand jury's sole purpose is to inquire into whether there is probable cause to bring an individual before a tribunal to determine his guilt or innocence of an alleged crime. Id. The grand jury is simply an investigative body. See U.S. v. Aired, 144, F.3d 1405, 1413 (11th Cir. 1998). A "criminal action" is not instigated by the calling of a grand jury, because a grand jury is convened "to determine whether a crime has been committed and whether criminal proceedings should be instituted against any person." U.S. v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338, 344 (1974). An "action" is commenced against a person after the grand jury actually finds probable cause to make an individual answer specific charges and renders a bill of indictment against that individual. Until a grand jury's investigation is complete and there has been a determination by a lawful authority that probable cause exists, there can be no criminal action.

"action" is defined as a "criminal judicial proceeding." Id. Because the U.S. Attorney has not filed an indictment or an information against Defendant, the Court fails to see how there is an undecided judicial proceeding in federal court against Defendant.

Defendant argues that this statute should be read to include the definition of "criminal action" used in 18 U.S.C. § 1595(bX2), which reads as follows: "In this subsection, a `criminal action' includes investigation and prosecution and is pending until final adjudication in the trial court." Defendant argues that "Congress specifically intended that the term 'criminal action' would be applied extremely broadly" under § 1595, so Congress "took pains to ensure that courts would give it the broadest possible construction" and defined "criminal action" as including investigatory stages. (Def. Reply 4.) Defendants argue that the Court should borrow this definition.

The Court disagrees. The Court believes that Congress's inclusion of this broader definition under § 1595 evinces Congressional intent to depart from the normal meaning of the term "criminal action."' This addition to the text suggests that Congress knows the plain meaning of the term "criminal action" and that Congress decided, under § 1595, that the definition of "criminal action" should be broader. In contrast, Congress could have made such an addition to § 3509 had it intended the mandatory stay provision to apply to pre-indictment investigations, but it did not. In other words, by not broadening the definition of "criminal action" § 3509, Congress intended that the term should only have its ordinary meaning: that an indictment or information has been filed naming a specific defendant. Instead, it seems clear that

'In fact, Congress made this intent clear by stating that this broader definition of a "criminal action" applied only "in this subsection."

Congress intended that these two statutory provisions should each have a different scope.

Defendant's argument of statutory construction fails.

The single case cited by Defendant in support of his motion is not on point. In Doe 1 v. Francis, No. 5:03CV260/MCR/WCS, 2005 WL 517847 (N.D. Fla. Feb. 10, 2005), the stay was entered because criminal charges had been filed against the defendant in a state court several months earlier (i.e., the defendants had been indicted by the state attorney). See Memorandum in Support of Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Outcome of Parallel Criminal Proceedings at 3, Doe I v. Francis, No. 5:03CV260/MCR/WCS (N.D. Fla. Dec. 2, 2003). The Court agrees with Defendant that a stay under § 3509(k) is mandatory when a criminal action is pending; the Court simply disagrees that the "deferred-prosecution agreement" constitutes a pending criminal action.

The Court also does not believe a discretionary stay is warranted. Defendant did not seek this relief in his motion; including such a request in the reply brief is inappropriate. Further, the Court sees no reason to delay this litigation for the next thirty-three months. After all, Defendant is in control of his own destiny — it is up to him (and him alone) whether the plea agreement reached with the State of Florida is breached. If Defendant does not breach the agreement, then he should have no concerns regarding his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The fact that the U.S. Attorney (or other law enforcement officials) may object to some discovery in these civil cases is not, in an of itself, a reason to stay the civil action. Any such issues shall be resolved as they arise in the course of this litigation.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:

3. Plaintiff's Motion for an Extension of Time to File Response (DE 13) is GRANTED NUNC

PRO TUNC.

This motion is filed under seal because the deferred-prosecution agreement between the United States Attorney's Office and Mr. Epstein, discussed herein, contains a confidentiality clause. A motion to seal has been filed contemporaneously. + +### The Pending Federal Criminal Action + +In 2006, a Florida state grand jury indicted Jeffrey Epstein on allegations similar to those in the instant actions (State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 2006 CF 09454, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. Palm Beach County) (the "Florida Criminal Action").1 Shortly thereafter, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (the "USAO") began a federal grand-jury investigation into allegations arising out of the same incidents alleged in the instant actions (Grand Jury No. 07-103 (WPB),2 United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida) (the "Federal Criminal Action"). + +In September 2007, the USAO and Mr. Epstein entered into a highly unusual and unprecedented deferred-prosecution agreement (the "Agreement"), in which the USAO agreed to defer (not dismiss or close) the Federal Criminal Action on the condition that Mr. Epstein continue to comply with numerous obligations, the first of which was pleading guilty to certain state charges in the Florida Criminal Action. The Agreement itself uses the term "deferred" (rather than "dismissed" or "closed") to describe the status of the Federal Criminal Action: + +THEREFORE, on the authority of R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, prosecution in this District for these offenses shall be deferred in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, provided that Epstein abides by the following conditions and the requirements of this Agreement . . . . + +Agreement, at 2. + +By no stretch did the USAO finalize, close, complete, dismiss or abandon the Federal Criminal Action. Indeed, as the lead federal prosecutor recently explained, the USAO merely + +Since the filing of the motion to stay, Mr. Epstein has pled guilty and been sentenced in the Florida Criminal Action. See Notice Concerning Motion to Stay (7/1/08). Accordingly, the Florida Criminal Action is no longer a basis for this stay. Epstein relies exclusively on the pending Federal Criminal Action for this motion and therefore here provides additional background information relating to that action. + +At the USAO's request, we wish to clarify a minor issue regarding the form of a citation in Epstein's initial memorandum supporting his motion to stay. That memorandum cites to the Federal Criminal Action as "fttri Grand Jury No. 07.103 (WPB)," rather than citing it simply as "Grand Jury No. 107-103 (WPB)." See Motion to Stay, at 2 (6/201081. Technically, a citation to "In re Grand Jury No. 07-103 (WPB)" could be interpreted as referring to litigation arising from Epstein's motion to quash a subpoena previously issued by "Grand Jury No. 07-103 (WPB)," which subpoena, according to the terms of the deferred-prosecution agreement between Epstein and the USAO described infra at 1-3, the USAO is presently holding in abeyance. Accordingly, we hereby clarify that our citation on Page 2 of our motion to stay denoted the grand-jury investigation itself, not litigation arising from that grand-jury investigation. + +"agreed to **defer** federal prosecution in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida . . . ." *See In re: Jane Doe*, Case No. 08-80736-CIV-Marra/ [REDACTED] (S.D. Fla.) (DE 14), Decl. of AUSA Villafana, 07/09/08, ¶ 5, attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (emphasis added). Under the Agreement, the USAO presently retains the continuing right to indict Mr. Epstein - - or to unseal "any" already-existing federal "charges" that may already have been handed up by the federal grand jury and sealed - - should he breach any of its provisions. Agreement, at 2. + +The period of the deferral continues until three months after Mr. Epstein completes service of his sentence in the Florida Criminal Action. *Id.* Indeed, the final three months of the Agreement's term constitute an extended period during which the USAO expressly retains the ability to evaluate whether Epstein committed any breaches of his numerous obligations under the Agreement while he was serving his state sentence, and, if it so determines, reserves the right to indict (or unseal an existing indictment against) Mr. Epstein - - even after he has completed serving his entire state sentence. + +The Agreement further provides that upon Epstein's execution of a plea agreement in the State Criminal Case, the Federal Criminal Action "will be suspended" and all pending grand-jury subpoenas "**will be held in abeyance** unless and until the defendant violates any term of this agreement." Agreement, at 5 (emphasis added). The Agreement directs the USAO and Epstein to "**maintain their evidence**, specifically evidence requested by or directly related to the grand jury subpoenas that have been issued," and to maintain such evidence "inviolate." *Id.* (emphasis added). It also expressly provides that the grand-jury subpoenas continue to remain "**outstanding**" until "**the successful completion** of the terms of this agreement." *Id.* (emphasis added). + +Finally, the Agreement provides that the USAO's declination of prosecution for certain enumerated offenses and dismissal of any existing (sealed) charges **will not occur until 90 days following the completion of his state sentence**: + +If the United States Attorney should determine, based on reliable evidence, that, during the period of the Agreement, Epstein willfully violated any of the conditions of this Agreement, then the United States Attorney may, within ninety (90) days following the expiration of the term of home confinement discussed below, provide Epstein with timely notice specifying the condition(s) of the Agreement that he has + +violated, and shall initiate its prosecution on any offense within sixty (60) days' of [sic] giving notice of the violation. Any notice provided to Epstein pursuant to this paragraph shall be provided within 60 days of the United States learning of facts which may provide a basis for adetermination of abreach of the Agreement. + +After timely fulfilling all the terms and conditions of the Agreement, no prosecution for the offenses set out on pages 1 and 2 of this Agreement, nor any other offenses that have been the subject of the joint investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Attorney's Office, nor any offenses that arose from the Federal Grand Jury investigation will be instituted in this District, and the charges against Epstein, if any, will be dismissed. + +Agreement, at 2. + +Consistent with the Agreement and its position that the Federal Criminal Action continues to remain pending, the USAO recently sent letters to attorneys for people that the USAO has designated as "victims." In those letters, the USAO asked, "[1]f you do file a claim under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 and Mr. Epstein denies that your client is a victim of an enumerated offense, please provide notice of that denial to the undersigned [AUSA]." See Decl. of AUSA Villafana, Exhs. 6 & 7, at 2 (July 9, 2008). The clear implication of the USAO's request (by which the USAO appears to involve itself in the instant litigation, despite advising the recipients that it cannot "take pan in or otherwise assist in civil litigation," id), is that the USAO believes that such denial might breach the Agreement. + +Accordingly. the Federal Criminal Action remains "pending." + +#### Discussion + +# 1. Section 3509(k) Applies to Investigations, Not Just Indictments. + +While there is no unsealed indicted criminal case against Mr. Epstein, the government's criminal investigation against him remains open. Section 3509(k) clearly applies to stay civil cases during the pendency, not only of indicted criminal cases, but also of yet-to-be-closed investigations. + +The term "criminal action" is not expressly defined in § 3509(k). It is defined, however, by a closely related statute. Title 18, U.S.C. § 1595 provides a civil remedy for "forced labor" and "sex trafficking" violations, but stays such actions "during the pendency of any criminal action arising out of the same occurrence in which the claimant is the victim." (A copy of § 1595 is + +attached hereto as Exhibit "B"). In enacting § 1595, Congress specifically intended that the term "criminal action" would be applied extremely broadly. Accordingly, Congress took pains to ensure that courts would give it the broadest possible construction and, for that reason, specified in the definition provision that "criminal action" also "includes investigation." 18 U.S.C. § 1595(b)(2). The only reported decision addressing this provision interpreted it according to its plain language. *See Ara v. Khan*, No. CV 07-1251, 2007 WL 1726456, \*2 (E.D.N.Y. June 14, 2007) (ordering "all proceedings in this case stayed pending the conclusion of the government's criminal investigation of the defendants and of **any** resulting criminal prosecution") (emphasis added). + +Given that the USAO's Agreement with Epstein indicates that: + +- • the grand-jury's subpoenas remain "outstanding" (Agreement, at 5); +- • the subpoenas are "held in abeyance" (*id.*); +- • the subpoenas are not "withdrawn" (*id.*); +- • the parties must "maintain their evidence" (*id.*) (which would be entirely unnecessary if the investigation against Epstein were closed); +- • "any" existing "charges" will **not "be dismissed" until after** Epstein has "timely fulfill[ed] all the terms and conditions of the [A]greement" (*id.* at 2); and +- • "prosecution in this District . . . shall be **deferred**" (*id.*) (but not closed or dismissed), + +- - then, the only reasonable conclusion is that the Federal Criminal Action remains "pending."3 + +The plaintiff's argue that a § 3509(k) stay would be "inconsistent with Mr. Epstein's Agreement with the U.S. Attorney" which the plaintiff's claim is reproduced in the lead + +3 The ordinary meaning of the adjective "pending" is "[r]emaining undecided; awaiting decision . . . ." *Black's Law Dictionary* 1154 (8th ed. 2004). The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit routinely relies on *Black's Law Dictionary* for the definition of statutory terms, including in criminal cases. *See e.g., United States v. Young*, 528 F.3d 1294, 1297 n.3 (11th Cir. 2008) (definitions of criminal "complaint" and "indictment"); *United States v. [REDACTED]*, 526 F.3d 691, 705 (11th Cir. 2008) (definition of "knowingly" in criminal statute). A Westlaw search revealed that in 2008 alone, the Eleventh Circuit has already published eight opinions relying on *Black's Law Dictionary* for definitions. *See also, [REDACTED] v. Klitzkie*, 281 F.3d 920, 928 (9th Cir. 2002) (relying on *Black's Law Dictionary*, in the context of a criminal case, for the definition of "pending" as "awaiting decision"); *Swartz v. Meyers*, 204 F.3d 417, 421 (3d Cir. 2000) (relying on *Black's Law Dictionary* for the definition of "pending," expressly because "pending" is not defined in the statute"). Any common-sense reading of the Agreement and the USAO's recent sworn construction of it, is consonant with the Federal Criminal Action's "remaining undecided" and "awaiting decision." *See Unified Gov't of Athens-Clarke County v. Athens Newspapers, LLC*, No. S07G1133, S.E.2d \_\_\_, 2008 WL 2579238, \*3 (Ga. June 30, 2008) (reviewing a public-records request against Georgia's "pending investigation" exception to its open-records law, and holding that "a seemingly inactive investigation which has not yet resulted in a prosecution logically "remains undecided," and is therefore "pending," until it "is concluded and the file **closed**") (emphasis added). + +prosecutor's July 10 letter to their counsel (attached to Plaintiffs' responses as Exhibit A). Apparently, on July 10, the lead prosecutor sent a letter to the plaintiffs' lawyer stating that "[o]ne . . . condition to which Epstein has agreed" is that each plaintiff "will have the same rights to proceed under Section 2255 as she would have had, if Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense.- See Response Memo, at 5 & Ex. A, at 1-2 (emphasis added). This argument warrants absolutely no consideration, however, since the plaintiffs have not pled any claims under 18 U.S.C. § 2255. + +# II. Section 35091k) Applies Even After aPlaintiff Turns 18. + +Without citing to a single case, the plaintiffs argue that § 3509(k) does not apply to plaintiffs over the age of 18. An examination of the legislative history and related statutes shows that this unsupported argument must be rejected. + +The parallel stay provision in § 1595, discussed supra at 3-4, mandates, without exception, that any civil action brought under that section for violations of § 1591 (prohibiting transportation of minors for prostitution) "shall be stayed during the pendency of any criminal action arising out of the same occurrence in which the claimant is the victim." 18 U.S.C. § 1591(bX1). Whether the § 1595 plaintiff has turned 18 does not vitiate the efficacy of this mandatory stay. + +An example illustrates why the stay provided in § 3509(k) has the same broad scope as the stay provided in § 1591(bX1). As discussed above, § 3509(k) stays any civil suit for injury to a minor, arising out of the same occurrence as a pending criminal action. One type of civil suit falling within § 3509(k)'s ambit is a suit seeking redress for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2423(a). Section 2423(a) - - just like § 1591 - - prohibits transportation of minors for prostitution. The elements of both statutes are identical. There would simply be no legitimate basis for Congress to differentiate between the consequences attached to violating these two sections. Thus, just as Congress mandated under § 1595(bX1) that civil discovery shall be stayed when there is an ongoing federal investigation under § 1591 (even after the victim turns 18), the identical treatment should apply under § 3509(k) to civil actions brought for the identical violation of § 2423(a). + +Logic compels a rule requiring continued application of the § 3509(k) stay to a putative victim who has since turned 18. Consider again the example of § 2243(a). Assume that the USAO is investigating a § 2243(a) violator with two alleged victims; one who is now 17, and one who has turned 19. Assume further that both decide to sue the alleged offender while the USA() is still in the process of conducting its criminal investigation. Why would Congress prohibit the defendant from conducting civil discovery in the 17-year-old's lawsuit, but permit him to conduct full discovery in the 19-year-old's lawsuit, including taking the depositions of both the 19- and the 17-year-old, the federal investigating agents and all the grand-jury witnesses? This could not have been Congress' intent. + +The legislative history to a statute resembling § 1595 is also instructive. When Congress enacted 18 U.S.C. § 2255, it provided a civil remedy to any "minor . . . victim" of enumerated federal sex offenses. See Child Abuse Victims' Rights Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-500, 100 Stat. 1783, § 703 (1986). In 2006, Congress amended the statute to clarify that the civil cause of action was available not just while the victim was aminor, but even after she or he turned 18. See Pub. L. 109-248, 120 Stat. 650, § 707 (bX1XA) (amending § 2255 to permit suit by adults who were victims of enumerated federal offenses when they were minors, by deleting "Any minor who is [a victim[" and adding "Any person, who, while a minor, was [a victim)"). Meanwhile, the stay provisions of § 3509(k) remained unchanged. There is no reason to think that Congress would afford prosecutors protection for their investigations while the victims were minors, but completely eliminate those protections the moment one of the victims turned 18. + +The District Court for the Northern District of Florida confirmed this position and specifically rejected the plaintiffs' contrary argument. See Doe v. Francis, No. 5:03 CV 260, 2005 WL 950623, at \*2 (N.D. Fla. 2005). The plaintiffs there argued that "the stay should be lifted due to the fact that the minor Plaintiffs have now reached the age of majority during the pendency of the state criminal case." Id. The court found this argument "unavailing . . . given the victims' minor status at the time of the events giving rise to the underlying claims." Id. (Interestingly, the arguments made by Jane Doe Nos. 2-5 in their oppositions to Epstein's motion to stay presently pending before this Court, are literally lifted' from the plaintiffs' brief submitted to, and rejected by. the Northern District of New York in Francis.) The court specifically held that "because the victims were minors at the time of the Defendants' actions alleged in both [the civil and criminal] cases, § 3509(k) applies." Id. (emphasis added). + +The United States Department of Justice has itself emphatically embraced the interpretation of § 3509(k) as applying to stay all civil actions relating to sex offenses against minors, pending the completion of a parallel criminal action, without regard to whether the plaintiff has turned 18 during her civil lawsuit: + +The subsection should stay all pending civil actions in the wake of a criminal prosecution. Notably, in the context of 18 USC § 2255 ("civil remedy for personal injuries"). all civil actions are stayed pending the completion of a criminal action. See also 18 USC § 3509(k). + +H.R. Rep. 108-264(11), 108th Cong., 1st Sess. (2003), reprinted at 2003 WL 22272907, at \*16-17 ("agency view" by the Department of Justice on bill later codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1595). + +The Department specifically argued to Congress in the clearest terms: "We believe that prosecutions should take priority over civil redress and that prosecutions should be complete prior to going forward with civil suits." Id. at 17 (emphasis added). Nowhere did the Department remotely suggest - - as the plaintiffs have implied - - that pending prosecutions warrant less protection (Le., should be "hinder[ed]") simply because a particular civil plaintiff happens to reach his or her 18th birthday. + +# III. A Stay is Mandatory Despite Resulting "Delay" to Civil Lawsuits. + +Inherent in any § 3509(k) stay is delay to the progress (discovery, trial, appeal) of all related civil lawsuits. Congress recognized this in enacting the stay provision, which necessarily prioritized the interests of completing acriminal investigation and prosecution over the interests of aparticular plaintiff in seeking personal pecuniary damages. Based on this reasoning, the Francis + +Compere Doe v. Francis, Case No. 5:03cv260-MCR-WCS (N.D. Fla.), Memorandum in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion to Reconsider Plaintiffs' Motion to Lift Stay and for Status Conference (DE 92, available on PACER), with Plaintiff; Memorandum of Law in Response to Defendant's Motion to Stay, filed in Case Nos. 08-ev-80119-KAM (Doe No. 2. DE 25), 08-cv-80232-KAM (Doe No. 3, DE 20), 08-ev-80380-KAM (Doe No. 4. DE 31), and 08-ev-80381-K AM (Doe No. 5, DE 29). + +court specifically refused to provide any relief to plaintiffs "simply because the state [criminal] matter is not progressing as fast as they would hope." 2005 WI, 950623, at •2. The court made this determination despite the plaintiffs' complaints about the "frustrating delay" and that "the state criminal case 'has languished for almost two years with no end in sight,' finding that this "is amatter to be addressed in state [criminal] court." Id. Accordingly. the anticipated delay in this case, attendant to the term of the deferred-prosecution agreement, does not change the clear command of § 3509(k). + +According to their own pleadings, the plaintiffs waited between three and six years before filing these lawsuits,5 and so cannot rightfully claim prejudice from additional temporary delay. + +## IV. Section 3509 Aside, a Discretionary Stay is Warranted. + +Even, arguendo, were this Court not to apply the mandate of § 3509, a discretionary stay should still be entered during the pendency of the Federal Criminal Action. SEC v. Heahhsouth Corp.. 261 F. Supp. 2d 1298, 1326 (N.D. Ala. 2003) ("No question exists that this court has the power to stay acivil proceeding due to an active, parallel criminal investigation."). Other federal statutes support such a stay — particularly when the criminal action may be adversely affected by the civil litigation. For example, under 18 U.S.C. § 2712(eX1), "the court shall stay any action commenced [against the United States] if the court determines that civil discovery will adversely affect the ability of the Government to conduct a related investigation or prosecution of a related criminal case." Allowing these lawsuits to progress while Epstein remains subject to the Federal Criminal Action will prejudice him irrevocably and irreparably. As provided below, there are several adverse effects to allowing the civil litigation to proceed while the Federal Criminal Action remains pending. + +In these lawsuits, Epstein has a right to defend himself. In the Federal Criminal Action, Epstein has a right against self-incrimination.6 Without a stay, Epstein will be immediately forced to abandon one of these rights. + +5 Jane Does No. 2 and No. 3 allege that their claims arose "bin or about 2004-2005;" Jane Does No. 4 and No. 5 allege that their claims arose tin or about 2002-2003." Complaints. ¶ 8. + +Should he choose his Fifth Amendment rights, he will expose himself to an adverse inference at the summary-judgment stage and at trial. See generally, Wehling v. Columbia Broad. Sys.. 611 F.2d 1026, 1027 (5th Cir. 1980) (observing that "invocation of the privilege would be subject to the drawing of an adverse inference by the trier of fact"). + +On the other hand, should Epstein choose his right to defend himself in these lawsuits, the USAO will be able to use his responses at every stage of the discovery and trial process (e.g., his Answer, responses to document requests, responses to requests for admissions, sworn answers to interrogatories, answers to deposition questions, and trial testimony) to his detriment in the Federal Criminal Action.? + +In these lawsuits, even before civil discovery begins, under the Initial Disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 and S.D. Fla. Local Rule 26.1, Epstein "must" disclose the identities of all the witnesses he would call in his defense to the Federal Criminal Action (Rule 26(a)(1)(AXi)), copies of "all documents" he "may use to support [his] defenses" (Rule 26(a)(I)(A)(ii)), as well as the identity of "any" expert witness he "may use at trial," along with mandatory disclosure of "a written report" containing "a complete statement of all opinions the [expert] will express and the basis and reasons for them" (Rule 26(a)(2XA) and (B)(i)). + +In contrast, in the pending Federal Criminal Action, which is governed exclusively by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the USAO would not be entitled to compel pm-trial production of any of this information. See Fed. R. Cr. P. 16(b)(1)(A), (C), and 16(bX2); United Stales v. Argomaniz. 925 F.2d 1349, 1355-56 (11th Cir. 1991) (explaining act-of-production privilege). + +Thus, absent a stay of this civil action, the USAO would receive fundamentally unfair access to defense information and highly prejudicial advance insight into criminal defense + +" The privilege applies in -instances where the witness has reasonable cause to apprehend danger" of criminal liability. Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479,486 (1951). + +7This could give the USAO atremendous advantage in prosecuting Epstein in the Federal Criminal Action. See Comment, Using Equitable Powers to Coordinate Parallel Civil and Criminal Actions, 98 Harv. L. Rev. 1023, 1030 (1985) (observing that "the prosecutor may have access to detailed civil depositions of the accused witnesses, while the rules of criminal procedure bar the accused from deposing the prosecutor's witnesses"). + +strategy. See Comment, 98 Harv. L. Rev. at 1030 ("To the extent that a prosecutor acquires evidence that was elicited from the accused in aparallel civil proceeding, the criminal process becomes less adversarial."). + +Without a stay in place, discovery will proceed, including against third parties. Mr. Epstein will have no alternative but to issue subpoenas seeking evidence from state and federal law-enforcement officers. For example, Epstein is clearly entitled to discover evidence of prior statements (including inconsistent statements) given by witnesses whom law-enforcement has previously interviewed. See, e.g., Cox v. Treadway, 75 F.3d 230, 239 (6th Cir. 1996) (holding that district court properly admitted testimony of prosecutor about prior inconsistent statements that witness made to the prosecutor). Likewise, Epstein may be entitled to discovery of relevant evidence that is in the present possession of the grand jury or other law-enforcement agencies. See, e.g., Simpson v. Hines, 729 F. Supp. 526, 527 (E.D. Tex. 1989) ("The grand jury has concluded its deliberations . . The need for secrecy of these specific tapes no longer outweighs other concerns."); Golden Quality Ice Cream Co., Inc. v. Deerfield Specialty Papers, Inc., 87 F.R.D. 53, 59 (E.D. Pa. 1980) ("[W]here, as here, the grand jury has completed its work and all that is sought are those documents turned over to the grand jury by the corporations which are defendants in the civil case, the considerations . . . militating against disclosure are beside the point.") (citing Douglas Oil Co. of Calif. v. Petrol Stops Nw., 441 U.S. 211 (1979)). + +In response to such third-party subpoenas to law-enforcement witnesses, we anticipate that it will be the government, not Mr. Epstein, who will object to discovery in these civil cases, until the final conclusion of the Federal Criminal Action. + +#### Conclusion + +Because these lawsuits arise from the same allegations as the Federal Criminal Action, this Court should stay these cases until that criminal action is no longer pending. + +Respectfully submitted, + +[REDACTED] TEIN, P.L. +3059 Grand Avenue, Suite 340 +Coconut Grove, Florida 33133 +Tel: 305 442 1101 Fax: 305 442 6744 + +By: + +![]()GUY A.

Shortly after the filing of the motion and **before** plaintiffs filed their response memoranda suggesting that no conference had taken place, **the parties did confer in a good-faith and specific attempt to resolve the motion** and were unable to do so, because plaintiffs' counsel would not agree to a stay.

It is perhaps worth noting that, contrary to their Rule 7.1 certificate, plaintiffs did not confer prior to filing their motion to extend time to file their response memoranda (which extension defendant did not oppose anyway, including on the basis of failure to comply with Rule 7.1).

See Beaulieu v. Bd. of Trustees of Univ. of W. Fla., No. 3:07cv30/RV/EMT, 2007 WL 2020161, \* 2 (N.D. Fla. July 9, 2007) (holding that defendant's partial motion to dismiss "automatically extends its time to answer . . . until after the court has ruled on [its] motion to dismiss"); Finnegan v. Univ. of Rochester Med. Ctr., 180 F.R.D. 247, 249 (W.D.N.Y. 1998) (concluding "that the filing of a motion that only addresses part of a complaint suspends the time to respond to the entire complaint, not just to the claims that are the subject of the motion"); v. Berry College, Inc., No. Civ.A. 4:96CV338-HLM, 1997 WL 579166, \*1 (N.D. Ga. July 3, 1997) (noting that there is significant case law to support the position that "when a defendant files a Rule I2(b) motion to dismiss, addressing only some of the claims contained in the plaintiffs complaint, the defendant is not required to file an answer until the court rules on the motion to dismiss"). + +#### ALLEGATIONS IN PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT + +This action arises out of the alleged assault of the plaintiff. According to the allegations in her complaint, the plaintiff went to Mr. Epstein's house to give him "a massage for monetary compensation" (Compl. ¶ 12), where Mr. Epstein allegedly assaulted her "in violation of Chapter 800 of the Florida Statutes." (Compl. ¶ 18). + +The plaintiff tries to assert a claim for sexual assault (Compl. ¶¶ 15-19.) This theory of liability, however, cannot be supported by the allegations in the complaint. In fact, even if everything in the complaint were true, recovery against Jeffrey Epstein, for Count I, under any formulation, is impossible under Florida law. Accordingly, this count must be dismissed. + +# ARGUMENT + +A motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) should be granted when a court cannot identify "each of the material elements necessary to sustain a recovery under some viable legal theory." Snow v. DirectTV, Inc., 450 F.3d 1314, 1320 (11th Cir. 2006) (quoting Roe v. Aware Woman Cm For Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 684 (11th Cir. 2001)). Moreover, a court should dismiss a complaint "when, on the basis of a dispositive issue of law, no construction of the factual allegations will support a cause of action." Marshall County Bd. of Educ. v. Marshal County Gas Dist, 992 F.2d 1171, 1174 (11th Cir. 1993). "[T]o survive a + +motion to dismiss, plaintiffs must do more than merely state legal conclusions; they are required to allege some specific factual bases for those conclusions . . . ." Holt v. Crist, No. 06-14617, 2007 WL 1156938, \*2 (11th Cir. Apr. 19, 2007). As such, "conclusory allegations, unwarranted deductions of facts or legal conclusions masquerading as facts will not prevent dismissal." Snow, 450 F.3d at 1320. + +## I. Count I Fails to State a Cause of Action For Assault Recognized by Florida Law. + +The plaintiff attempts to plead a cause of action against Mr. Epstein for "sexual assault" based on a "violation of Chapter 800 of the Florida Statutess2 for the "lewd and lascivious acts committed by Epstein upon Jane Doe." (Compl. ¶ 18.) Plaintiff cannot assert a cause of action for "violation of Chapter 800, Florida Statutes" because there is no private right of action under that Chapter. See generally Am. Home Assurance Co. v. Plaza Materials Corp., 908 So. 2d 360, 374 (Fla. 2005) (observing that "not every statutory violation carries a civil remedy") (citing Villazon v. Prudential Health Care Plan, Inc., 843 So. 2d 842, 852 (Fla. 2003)). See also, e.g., Miami Herald Publ'g Co. v. Ferre, 636 F. Supp. 970 (S.D. Fla. 1985) (M, C.J.) (holding that violation of Florida's criminal extortion statute does not give rise to a civil cause of action for damages). + +2Chapter 800, Florida Statutes, is entitled, "Lewdness; Indecent Exposure." + +Where a plaintiff brings a civil action pursuant to a criminal statute that provides no civil remedy, her complaint is properly dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. See Mantooth v. Richards, 557 So. 2d 646, 646 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990) (per curiam) (affirming dismissal of plaintiff's claim for parental kidnapping where "the mentioned statutes concern only criminal violations and do not afford a civil remedy") (citation omitted) (emphasis added). + +Even if Chapter 800 provided a civil remedy (which it does not) the statute does not apply to the plaintiff. The statute prohibits sexual activity with or lewd or lascivious offenses against "a person . . . less than 16 years of age." § 800.04, Fla. Stat. (2008) (emphasis added). By her own admission, the plaintiff was "then 16 years old." (Compl. ¶ 8.) (emphasis added). Plainly, the plaintiff falls outside of the scope of the statute's protection. Accordingly, the plaintiff's claim for sexual assault against Mr. Epstein, pursuant to a violation of Chapter 800, Florida Statutes, must be dismissed. + +Should the Court look beyond the plain language of the plaintiffs complaint and construe Count I as a claim for common-law assault, that claim would also fail. As the court explained in Lay v. Kremer, 411 So. 2d 1347, 1349 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982), an assault is "an intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or force unlawfully directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a fear of imminent peril, coupled with the apparent + +present ability to effectuate the attempt." An assault thus requires "an affirmative act—a threat to use force, or the actual exertion of force." v. AtI Fed. Say. & Loan Assoc., 454 So. 2d 52, 54 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984) (affirming dismissal of assault claim where there was no affirmative act). + +In this case, there is no such affirmative act. In fact, the plaintiff does not allege that Mr. Epstein touched her or even spoke to her. Nor does the plaintiff allege that she was placed in any fear of imminent peril. See Gatto v. Publix Supermarket, Inc., 387 So. 2d 377, 379 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980) (holding that where there was no evidence to show that Gatto was placed in fear of imminent peril, there was no assault). Instead, the plaintiff merely makes the conclusory allegation that Mr. Epstein "sexually assaulted [her] during the massage" without alleging any facts to support this allegation. This conclusory allegation is insufficient. + +Accordingly, because the plaintiff has failed to plead a cause of action for assault recognized in Florida, Count I against Mr. Epstein must be dismissed. + +#### Conclusion + +For the reasons set forth herein, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein respectfully requests that Count I of the plaintiff's complaint be dismissed. + +Respectfully submitted, + +TEIN, P.L. 3059 Grand Avenue, Suite 340 Coconut Grove, Florida 33133 Tel: 305 442 1101 Fax: 305 442 6744 + +By: /s/ Michael R.

DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA + +CASE NO.: 08-CV-80232-MARRA + +JANE DOE NO. 3, + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +## PLAINTIFF'S MEMORANDUM IN RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS + +Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 3, ("Jane" or "Jane Doe"), by and through her undersigned counsel, files this Memorandum in Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, and states as follows: + +I. Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein is alleged to have sexually abused Jane Doe when she was a minor. The Complaint is in two Counts: Count I is labeled "Sexual Assault", and alleges an intentional tort based on the actions of Jeffrey Epstein; Count II alleges the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress based on the same factual allegations. Defendant Epstein has moved to dismiss only Count I of the Complaint, contending that Plaintiff has failed to state a claim. Simultaneously herewith, Plaintiff intends to file an Amended Complaint which substantially revises Count I and moots the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss.' + +' The Amended Complaint also adds as Count III a federal claim against Defendant Epstein under 18 U.S.C. §§2422 and 2255. Under Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a), a party may amend the pleading once as a matter of course before being served with a "responsive pleading". Defendant has not to date filed a "responsive pleading" in this case within the meaning of Fed.R.Civ.P. 7(a). It is established in the courts of the Eleventh Circuit that a motion to dismiss is not a "responsive pleadin " and does not affect a plaintiffs right to amend the pleading once as a matter of course. v. Board of Regents, 477 F.3d 1282, 1291 (1 I th Cir. 2007). + +2. In any event, the Complaint sufficiently alleged a claim for sexual assault and battery. The gravamen of the claims in Count I is set forth in paragraph 16 of the Complaint: "Epstein tortiously assaulted lane Doe sexually. Epstein's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful." + +3. Count I does not purport to be brought under the criminal statutes.2 Whether a Complaint states a claim for relief is not based on labels or conclusions; rather it is determined by the factual allegations, which "must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombley 127 5. Ct. 1955, 1965 (2007). Hem, the factual allegations establish an intentional tort claim for sexual assault and battery.3 See Paul v. Holbrook, 696 So.2d 1311 (F►a. **5th DCA 1997) ("[a] battery consists of the infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon another with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent"); Scelta v. Delicatessen Support Services, Inc., 57 F.Supp. 2d 1327, 1358-59 (M.D. Fla. 1999) (allegation that defendant attempted to put his hands down plaintiff's dress, and that there was an actual and intentional touching, sufficient to state a claim for battery); Hogan v. Tavzel, 660 So.2d 350 (Ha. 5th DCA 1995) (tortfeasor may be liable for battery for infecting another with a sexually transmitted disease); see also Restatement (Second) of Torts** Assault, § 21 (1965) (stating that an assault occurs when a person "acts intending to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the + +=Chapter 800 of the Florida Statutes is mentioned in the Complaint 118) because conduct against a person in violation of the criminal laws of the State generally give rise to a civil claim for intentional tort. Count I does not purport to bring a separate civil claim for violation of a strictly criminal statute. + +3 Assault and battery are closely related common law intentional torts that are commonly alleged together. See Herzfeld v. Herzfeld, 781 So.2d 1070 (Fla.2001) (noting that laintiff alleged intentional tort of "assault and battery" based on allegations of sexual abuse). v. Atlantic Federal Savings & Loan 454 So.2d 52 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984) (holding that a cause of action for assault and battery cannot be based entirely on an omission). + +person of the other, or an imminent apprehension of such contact, and the other is thereby put in such imminent apprehension"). + +4. Epstein's conduct as alleged in this case of masterbating during the massage, directing the Plaintiff to remove her clothes, and touching the Plaintiff, constitutes the intentional tort of assault and battery. Accordingly, even if the Complaint had not been amended, it sufficiently alleges facts establishing an assault and battery. + +Based on the foregoing, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss is moot, and, in any event, not well founded, and therefore should be denied. + +Dated: September 22, 2008.

See §II(D) below. + +# Number of days estimated for jury trial 10 + +#### 2. Subjects of Discovery and Whether Discovery Should be Phased or Limited to Particular Issues + +Plaintiffs' Position: There are no unusual issues at this time which require bifurcation or special restrictions on the scope of discovery or the subjects of discovery. Such issues may arise, however, as discovery continues. It is suggested that no restrictions on discovery be imposed at the outset of discovery. + +Defendant's Position: Any financial discovery, if allowed, relating to a punitive damage should be postponed until May 15, 2009. As well, as set forth in §D below, Defendant will request an order approving a confidentiality agreement governing access to and use of said information by Plaintiff and her attorneys until such time as documents/testimony is admitted at trial. + +# C. Issues About Disclosure of Electronically Stored Information + +The parties do not know whether issues may arise concerning discovery of electronically stored information. At this time, such discovery may be produced in paper or electronic form, subject to further order of the Court as may be necessary as discovery proceeds. + +# D. Issues About Claims of Privilege or Confidentiality + +Plaintiffs' Position: Plaintiffs request that their identities remain anonymous in this proceeding because they have alleged that they were victims of sexual misconduct as minors. Papers and exhibits filed with the Court should redact the names of the Plaintiffs or otherwise be filed under seal. + +Defendant's Position: Defendant may oppose anonymity in that Defendant will be prejudiced in defending himself and conducting his discovery without the ability to disclose Plaintiffs name(s), such as at depositions, subpoenaing medical/health related information, school records, etc. As well, Defendant's counsel has found that disclosure of a Plaintiff's name (who previously filed anonymously) oftentimes produces invaluable and otherwise relevant and material discovery. + +Defendant will request a confidentiality agreement with restrictions on any financial discovery which this court may allow. Defendant may assert his Fifth Amendment privilege in this matter. + +#### E. Limitations Imposed by the Discovery Rules + +Plaintiffs' Position: Plaintiffs request that the limitation of 10 depositions for each party under Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(a)(2) be removed. Plaintiffs intend to take the depositions of other minor victims of Defendant Epstein, who are numerous. There is no need at this time to alter other limitations imposed by the discovery rules. + +Defendant's Position: Defendant would request that the number of 10 deposition limit be imposed, pending a motion by either side setting forth justification for additional depositions. + +### F. Other Orders that the Court Should Issue Under Rule 26(c) or Rule 16(b) and (c) + +No other orders appear necessary at this time except as set forth above. + +### II. CONFERENCE REPORT + +#### A. Likelihood of Settlement + +The parties have not to date engaged in settlement discussions. They are, however, willing to explore the prospects for settlement through mediation or otherwise as the case proceeds forward. + +### B. Likelihood of Appearance of Additional Parties + +It does not appear that additional parties will appear in this case. However, the parties reserve the right to join additional parties within the deadline set forth in §1(B), if appropriate. + +# C. Proposed Time Limits + +Proposed time limits are set forth in the Discovery Plan, §I(B) above. + +### D. Proposals for the Formulation and Simplification of Issues + +Plaintiffs' Position: It would be in the interests of judicial economy and efficiency to consolidate these cases at least for purposes of discovery. Plaintiffs have no other proposals for the formulation and simplification of issues at this time. + +Defendant's Position: Defendant is opposed to consolidation of the cases for any purpose at this time. Should Plaintiff file a motion, Defendant will consider the request and respond. + +# E. Necessity or Desirability of Amendments to the Pleadings + +Plaintiff's filed Amended Complaints in each case on September 22, 2008. Plaintiffs do not believe at this time that further amendment will be necessary. The parties however reserve the right to amend pleadings within the deadline set forth in §1(B) above. + +### F. Possibility of Obtaining Admissions of Fact and of Documents; Stipulations; Need for Advance Ruling on Admissibility of Evidence + +Plaintiffs' Position: Plaintiffs believe that Defendant Epstein's plea agreement is an admission of liability as to all Counts of the Amended Complaint. Plaintiff's request an early ruling by the Court on the affect of the plea agreement, which will simplify the issues. Additionally, Plaintiffs believe that it is appropriate to have an advance evidentiary ruling on similar fact evidence. If the parties know early in the case how similar fact evidence will be treated at trial, discovery can be more focused and efficient. + +Defendant's Position: Defendant expects that the parties will work together to arrive at admissions as the matter progresses. Defendant disagrees that Defendant's plea agreement is an admission as described by Plaintiff. Defendant does agree that having an advance ruling on similar fact evidence may be desirable, after motion and ability to brief and respond. + +#### G. Suggestions for the Avoidance of Unnecessary Proof and of Cumulative Evidence + +There are no suggestions at this time for the avoidance of unnecessary proof or of cumulative evidence. + +#### H. Suggestion on the Advisability of Referring Matters to a Magistrate Judge or + +It is suggested that discovery matters be referred to a Magistrate Judge. + +### Preliminary Estimate of the Time Required for Trial + +It is estimated that the trial will require ten (10) days. + +# J. Requested Date or Dates for Pre Trial Conference and Trial + +Dates are set forth in the proposed discovery plan §I(B) above. + +#### K. Other Information + +There is no other information that might be helpful to the Court at this early date regarding setting the case for status conference or pm trial conference. + +Dated: September 25, 2008. + +Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Jeffrey M.

+Plaintiff, v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN + +Defendant. + +#### DEFENDANT'S. EPSTEIN. MOTION TO DISMISS AND MOTION FOR MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT DIRECTED TO PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED COMPLAINT + +Defendant, JEFFERY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned counsel, moves to dismiss and for more definite statement of Plaintiff JANE DOE NO. 3's Amended Complaint. Rules 12(b)(6), and 12(e) and (f), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2008). In support of his motion, Defendant states: + +### Introduction + +Defendant is filing similar motions to dismiss and for more definite statement directed to the Amended Complaints filed against Defendant in this Court in JANE DOE NO. 2, JANE DOE NO. 3, JANE DOE NO. 4 and JANE DOE NO. 5. The motions are directed to the Counts for "Sexual Assault and Battery," and "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422" in each of the respective complaints. However, there are distinctions in the four motions filed based on the complaint allegations. For example, Defendant challenges the Plaintiffs' allegations as to assault in all four actions, and challenges the battery allegations in JANE DOE NOS. 2 and 3, but not in JANE DOE NOS. 4 and 5. Defendant moves to dismiss the §2422 count in all four actions. + +### Motion + +1. Counts I and III of the Amended Complaint are required to be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). Plaintiff has failed to allege sufficient factual allegations in the Counts and instead alleges labels and conclusions, and an attempted formulaic recitation of the elements in each Count. + +2. In the alternative, Defendant seeks more definite statement of Count I and III. In Count I, the Plaintiff is required to more definitely allege what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; what was the intentional offensive or harmful contact in pleading the elements of assault and battery. In Count III, Plaintiff is required to more definitely state the underlying factual allegations to support her claim as set forth in the statute, 18 U.S.C. §2422(b) and §2455. Rule 12(e). See discussion of law below herein. + +3. Also, Plaintiffs reference in Count III to 28 U.S.C. §2255, pertaining to habeas corpus proceedings is required to be stricken as immaterial. Rule 12(f). Plaintiff is required to more definitely state what statutory provision she is relying on. Rule 12 (e). + +WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court dismiss Counts I and III, strike the immaterial statutory reference, and require Plaintiff to more definitely plead the underlying elements of her claims. + +#### Supporting Memorandum of Law Standard on Rule 12(b)(6) Motion To Dismiss + +As established by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. V. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007), a motion to dismiss should be granted if the plaintiff does not plead "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id, at 1974. Although the complaint need not provide detailed factual allegations, the basis for relief Case No. CV-80232-Marra Page No. 3 + +in the complaint must state "more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Id, at 1965. Further, "[f]actual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level ... on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact)." Id. On a motion to dismiss, the well pleaded allegations of plaintiffs complaint are taken as true and construed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. M.T.V. v. DeKalb County Sch. Dist., 446 F.3d 1153, 1156 (11th Cir.2006). + +Significantly, the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. V. Twombly abrogated the often cited observation that "a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove not set of facts in support of his claim that would entitle him to relief." Id, (abrogating and quoting Conley ya, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 102, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957)). The Supreme Court rejected the notion that "a wholly conclusory statement of claim [can] survive a motion to dismiss whenever the pleadings le[ave] open the possibility that a plaintiff might later establish some 'set of [undisclosed] facts' to support recovery." Id. As explained by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp., supra at 1664-65: + +While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations ibid.; Sanivan v. American Bd. of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. 40 F.3d 247, 251 (C.A.7 1994), a plaintiff's obligation to provide the "grounds" of his "entitle[ment] to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do, see Papasan v. Allain, 478 U.S. 265, 286, 106 S.Ct. 2932, 92 L.Ed.2d 209 (1986) (on a motion to dismiss, courts "are not bound to accept as true a legal conclusion couched as a factual allegation"). Factual allegations mu noug raise a right to relief above the speculative level, see 5 C. & A. M, Fed cti Procedure § 1216, pp. 235-236 (3d ed.2004) (hereinafter & ) ("[T]he pleading must contain something more ... than ... a statement of facts that merely creates a suspicion [of] a legally cognizable right of action"), on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if + +> doubtful in fact), see, e.g. Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N. A., 534 U.S. 506, 508, n. 1, 122 S.Ct. 992, 152 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002); Neitzke v. 490 U.S. 319, 327, 109 S.Ct. 1827, 104 L.Ed.2d 338 (1989) (" u e )(6) does not countenance ... dismissals based on a judge's disbelief of a complaint's factual allegations"); Scheuer v. 416 U.S. 232, 236, 94 S.Ct. 1683, 40 L.Ed.2d 90 (1974) (a well-pea e complaint may proceed even if it appears "that a recovery is very remote and unlikely"). + +Pursuant to Rule 12(e), a party may move for more definite statement of a pleading to which a responsive pleading is allowed where the pleading "is so vague or ambiguous that the party cannot reasonably frame a response." The motion is required to point out the defects and the desired details. Id. + +#### Count I — "Sexual Assault and Battery" is subiect to dismissal as Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. + +It is well settled that this Court is to apply Florida substantive law in this action. Erie R.Co. v. Tompkins 58 S.Ct. 817 (1938). Pursuant to Florida law, although the term "assault and battery" is most commonly referred to as if it were a legal unit, or a single concept, "assault and battery are separate and distinct legal concepts, assault being the beginning of an act which, if consummated, constitutes battery." 3A FIa.Jur.2d Assault §1. An assault and battery are intentional acts. See generally, Spivey v. Battaglia, 258 So.2d 815 (Fla. 1972); and Travelers Indem. Co. v. PCR. Inc., 889 So.2d 779 (Fla. 2004). + +An "assault" is an intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or exertion of force directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a reasonable fear of imminent peril. See Lav v. Kremer, 411 So.2d 1347 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). It must be premised upon an affirmative act - a threat to use force, or the actual exertion of force. See 3A FIa.Jur.2d Assault §1("The essential element of the tort of assault is the violence offered, and not actual physical contact."). + +Tort of "battery" consists of the infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon another with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent. Quilling v. Price 894 So.2d 1061 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005); v. Atlantic Federal Savings & Loan 454 So.2d 52 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984)("a battery consists of the intentional infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon the person of another). See 3A Fla.Jur.2d Assault §1. + +With the standard of pleading established in Twomblv, supra, in the context of the elements for assault and battery, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). As to the elements of assault, here are no factual allegations as to what was said or done to Plaintiff such that it constituted an "intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or exertion of force directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a reasonable fear of imminent peril." See ¶12 of Am. Comp. The same is true for the claim of battery. Plaintiff makes the general allegation in ¶12 that "he (Defendant) laid down on the massage table, and sexually assaulted Jane during the massage." Under applicable law, Plaintiff is required to give more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action. Twomblv, supra. Plaintiff is required to allege the fads of what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; what was the intentional offensive or harmful contact? + +As noted in the introduction and as this Court is well aware, there is more than one action brought against this Defendant attempting to allege similar sounding claims. With all due respect, the details as to a particular claim asserted by a particular Plaintiff + +are important to give this Defendant fair notice of Plaintiff's claim so he may properly respond. Accordingly, under applicable law, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim for sexual assault and battery. + +In the alternative to dismissing Count I, Defendant requests that Plaintiff be required to give more definite statement as to what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; what was the intentional offensive or harmful contact in pleading the elements of assault and battery. Rule 12(e). + +Count ill — "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. 42422" - is sublect to dismissal as Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(3)(6). Count III also contains an immaterial reference to 28 U.S.C. 42255, which is required to be stricken and more definitely stated. + +Count III of Plaintiff's Complaint attempts to assert a claim for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422." In her prayer for relief in Count III, Plaintiff "demands judgment against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein for all damages available under 28 U.S.C. §2255(a), ." + +Although the reference to "28 U.S.C. §2255," pertaining to habeas corpus proceedings - federal custody and remedies on motion attacking sentence, is probably a typographical error by Plaintiff, and the reference to "28" was meant to be "18," Defendant requests that Plaintiff correct this error so that Defendant may have fair notice of the claim Plaintiff is attempting to assert. Whether or not the "28" is typographical error, Defendant is still entitled to dismissal of the count. + +The applicable version of these statutory provisions, (pre-2006 Amendments, as the Amended Complaint alleges a time period of "in or about 2004-2005," ¶8), provides: + +### CHAPTER 117-TRANSPORTATION FOR ILLEGAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND RELATED CRIMES + +# § 2422. Coercion and enticement + +(a) Whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, to engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. + +(b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years. + +## CHAPTER 110-SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND OTHER ABUSE OF CHILDREN + +# § 2255. Civil remedy for personal injuries + +(a) Any minor who is a victim of a violation of section 2241(c), 2242, 2243, 2251 2251A, 2252 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any minor as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000 in value. + +(b) Any action commenced under this section shall be barred unless the complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues or in the case of a person under a legal disability, not later than three years after the disability. + +Relevant to Plaintiffs complaint, 18 U.S.C. 2255(a) creates a civil remedy for "a minor who is a victim of a violation of section ... 2422 ... of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation ... ." Plaintiff has failed to plead any factual allegations whatsoever pertaining to violations of 18 U.S.C. 2422. Rather, Plaintiff has alleged conclusory allegations simply attempting to track parts of the statutory language + +in the statute without underlying factual allegations pertaining to the Plaintiff and any conduct by Defendant. See ¶29 of Am. Comp. Plaintiffs allegations, (or lack of factual allegations), are precisely what the standard set forth by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. prohibits — Plaintiffs complaint alleges only "labels and conclusions, and a (partial) formulaic recitation of the elements." + +First, the Amended Complaint fails to designate whether Plaintiff is relying on §2422(a) or §2422(b). Second, although the complaint does contain a partial tracking of the language in 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), it contains absolutely no factual allegations concerning the requisite "using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce" by Plaintiff to state a cause of action based on a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2422(b). As well, there are no underlying factual allegations involving this Plaintiff as to the requisite elements that a defendant knowingly persuaded, induced, enticed, or coerced any individual (Plaintiff in this case) who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempted to do so. See 18 U.S.C. 2422(b); i.e. with what criminal offense could Plaintiff and Defendant have been charged. Again, a Plaintiff cannot simply track the language of a statute without some underlying factual allegations to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Accordingly, Count III is required to be dismissed, and the reference to 28 USC 2455 be stricken. + +In the alternative, Plaintiff should be required to more definitely state the underlying factual allegations to support her claim as set forth in the statute, 18 U.S.C. §2422(b) and §2455. + +**Conclusion** + +As discussed above herein, under the pleading standard established in Twombly, supra, and law concerning the elements of Count I and III, Plaintiff has failed to state claims upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). Plaintiff's complaint lack underlying factual allegations and, thus, Plaintiff is required to more definitely state the requisite factual allegations. Finally, Plaintiff should correct any improper statutory references. + +**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

Introduction and Sununars + +Defendant's Motions to Dismiss and for More Definite Statement filed in each of the abovecaptioned cases pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(6)(6) and 12(e) essentially concede that Plaintiffs have alleged the elements of the claims asserted in Counts I and III of each pleading, but contend that more factual allegations are necessary for these claims. The pleadings at issue contain a short and plain statement of the claims showing that the Plaintiffs are entitled to relief in accordance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2). The specific facts sought by Defendant may properly be the subject of discovery, but are not necessary for purposes of pleading. Accordingly, Defendant's Motions are without merit and should be denied in their entirety. + +#### II. Facts Plead + +The pleadings in these six cases are all similarly structured and assert the same claims. In the section entitled "Factual Allegations" each describes the plan and scheme of Defendant Epstein to recruit underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion for "massages". (Jane Doe No. 2 Amd.Compl.11 10-11; Jane Doe No. 3 Amd. Comp. 1 10-11; Jane Doe No. 4 Amd. Comp!. 111-12; Jane Doe No. 5 Amd. Comp1.1 10-1 1; Jane Doe No. 6 Amd. Compl.111-12; Jane Doe No. 7 Amd. Comp1.1 11-12). The pleading then alleges that, consistent with this scheme, the Plaintiff was lured to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion to give a massage for monetary compensation. (Jane Doe No. 2 Amd. Compl. 1 12; (Jane Doe No. 3 Amd. Compl. 1 12; Jane Doe No. 4 Amd. Compl. 1 13; Jane Doe No. 5 Amd. Compl. 1 12; Jane Doe No. 6 Amd. Compl .1 13; Jane Doe No. 7 Amd. Compl. 1 13). The Plaintiff was directed up a flight of stairs to a room where Epstein instructed the Plaintiff to remove her clothes and give him a massage. Epstein then masturbated and sexually assaulted the Plaintiff during this massage. (Jane Doe No. 2 Amd. Compl. 112; Jane Doe No. 3 Amd. Compl. 112; Jane Doe No. 4 Amd. Comp!. 113; Jane Doe No. 5 Amd. Compl. 112; Jane Doe No. 6 Amd. Compl. 113; Jane Doe No. 7 Amd. Compl. 113). + +Count I of the pleading in each case alleges a claim of sexual assault and battery. Count II alleges a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress, which Defendant does not seek to dismiss in his Motions before the Court. Count HI alleges a claim for coercion and enticement to sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. Defendant's Motions to Dismiss seek dismissal of Counts I and III for failure to state a claim under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(bX6), or alternatively move for a more definite statement under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(e) on these Counts. As discussed below, Plaintiffs' claims are sufficiently plead, and Defendant's Motions should be denied in their entirety. + +### III. Argument + +### A. THE STANDARD UNDER FED.R.CIV.P. 12(b)(6) DOES NOT SUPPORT DISMISSAL + +The gravamen of Defendant's Motion is that Plaintiffs' have not pled sufficient facts in support of their claims in Counts I and III. According to Defendant, the pleadings in this case do not satisfy "the standard of pleading" established in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007). In making this argument, Defendant would extend Twombly well beyond its intended scope. + +Twombly was an antitrust conspiracy case, in which the Court abrogated the longstanding pronouncement first made in Con 355 U.S. 41 (1957), that a complaint should not be dismissed under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(bX6) "unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim that would entitle him to relief." 127 S.Ct. at 1969. The Court noted that it did "not require heightened fact pleading of specifics, but only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id. at 1974 (emphasis supplied). The antitrust conspiracy claim before the Court was dismissed 114i:cause the plaintiffs here have not nudged their claims across the line from conceivable to plausible...." Id. + +Since Twombly, courts and commentators have grappled with the case's meaning and scope. Courts within the Eleventh Circuit have held that Twomblv did not alter the standard for dismissal under Rule 12(bX6) in the typical case. See, e.g.,CBT Flint Partners, LLC v. Goodmail Systems, Inc 529 F.Supp. 2d 1376, 1379 (N.D. Ga. 2007); Coughlin v. Wal-Mart Stores East LP 2008 WL 2704381 (M.D. Fla. 2008); Capaz v. Whitaker, Weinstraub & Grizzard, M.D.S, P.A., 2007 WL 1655473 (M.D. Fla. 2007). In CBT Flint Partners the Court warned against reading the decision in Trombly too broadly: + +In my view, Trombly did not radically alter the elementary rules of civil procedure that have governed litigation in the federal courts for the seventy years. The Court's forced retirement of Conley v. "no set of facts" language does not change the fundamental command of Rule 8 as to what a valid complaint must look like. Indeed, the Court made clear that it was not imposing a heightened pleading standard. As a general matter, I am loath to assume that the Supreme Court circumvented the normal channels for amending the Federal Rules. The Court's "new standard" was merely a specific way to articulate a solution to what it perceived to be a specific pleading problem, in a specific area of law that inflicted a high cost upon antitrust defendants. It was not a broad based new license for federal courts to ramp up pleading requirements. + +529 F.Supp. 2d at 1379 (citations omitted). + +The standard for pleading in the federal courts remains controlled by Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2), which "only requires a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief in order to give the defendant fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Capaz, 2007 WL 1655473 at \*1. While the scope of Twombly may not be entirely clear, it plainly cannot be read to turn pleadings into a discovery device, as Defendant advocates here in seeking dismissal for failure to plead detailed factual allegations. + +In Iqbal v. Hasty 490 F.3d 143 (2d Cir. 2007), the Court reviewed and analyzed in depth Twombly's "conflicting signals", and ultimately held that the Supreme Court did not impose "a universal standard of heightened fact pleading," but rather a "flexible 'plausibility standard' ". Id. at 157-158. This standard "obliges a pleader to amplify a claim with some factual allegations in those contexts where such amplification is needed to render the claim plausible." Id. (emphasis original). See also Sales v. All Florida Dialysis Services, Inc., 2007 WL 3231723 \*2 n.2 (S.D. Fla. 2007) (noting that Twomblv was inapplicable because the defendants did not raise the type of pleading deficiencies confronted in Twombly - lack of specific time, place or person involved in the alleged antitrust conspiracies). + +The instant allegations and claims cannot be compared to the speculative antitrust conspiracy alleged in Twombly. See 127 S.Ct. at 1965. There should be no doubt that the Plaintiffs' claims are plausible. Accordingly Twombley is not authority for dismissal of the pleadings in these cases. + +# II. THE ELEMENTS OF COUNT I FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT AND BATTERY ARE SUFFICIENTLY ALLEGED + +In each case, the claim in Count I is labeled "Sexual Assault and Battery." Assault and battery are closely related common law intentional torts that are often alleged together. See Herzfeld v. Herzfeld 781 So.2d 1070 (F1a.2001) (noting that plaintiff alleged intentional ton of "assault and battery" based on allegations of sexual abuse); v. Atlantic Federal Savings & Loan, 454 So.2d 52 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984) (holding that a cause of action for assault and battery cannot be based entirely on an omission). A common law assault occurs when a person "acts intending to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the person of the other, or an imminent apprehension of such contact, and the other is thereby put in such imminent apprehension". Restatement (Second) of Tons, Assault §21 (1965). "A battery consists of the infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon another with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent". See Paul v. Holbrook, 696 So.2d 1371 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997). See also Scelta v. Delicatessen Support Services. Inc. 57 F.Supp. 2d 1327, 1358-59 (M.D. Ha. 1999) (allegation that defendant attempted to put his hands down plaintiff's dress, and that there was an actual and intentional touching, sufficient to state a claim for battery); Hogan v. Tavzel 660 So.2d 350 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (tortfeasor may be liable for battery for infecting another with a sexually transmitted disease). + +Defendant does not contend that the Plaintiffs failed to allege these elements of the common law tons of assault and battery in Count I of their pleadings. Rather, Defendant argues that the pleadings fail to allege the specific facts of "what was said or done to Plaintiff'. Defendant thus misconstrues Twombly. All of the Plaintiffs allege essentially the same plan and scheme of Defendant to lure underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion for "massages", leading to Defendant engaging in sexual activities with the Plaintiffs. The specific facts concerning what was said and done prior to and during the course of these "massages" is the proper subject of discovery, not the pleadings. Plaintiffs satisfy the pleading requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2), and Twombly does not require more specific fact pleading in these cases. + +# III. PLAINTIFFS SUFFICIENTLY ALLEGE A CLAIM IN COUNT III FOR VIOLATION OF 18 U.S.C. 42422 + +The pleadings in Count III closely track the language of 18 U.S.C. §2422, and thus set forth the elements of a violation of this Statute, as follows: + +(i) Allegation in Complaint. Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense; and + +(ii) 18 U.S.C. §2422(b). Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, ... knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so... + +18 U.S.C. §2455(b); Jane Doe 2 Amd. Compl. 1 29; Jane Doe 3 Amd. Comp1.1 29; Jane Doe 4 Amd. Comp1.1 30; Jane Doe 5 Amd. Compl.1 29; Jane Doe 6 Amd. Compl. 1 28; Jane Doe 7 Amd. Compl. 1 29. Defendant does not appear to contend that Plaintiffs have failed to allege the elements of a violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422 in Count III, but instead argues that further factual allegations are necessary. As with Count I, such specific facts are the proper subject of discovery, and need not be set forth in the pleadings under Rule 8(aX2). There is no issue of plausibility concerning the Plaintiffs' claims under 18 U.S.C. §2422. Indeed, the Plaintiffs in these cases were notified by the U.S. Attorney's office that the Defendant has agreed that each Plaintiff has the same right to proceed on her federal statutory claim "as she would have had if Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted of an enumerated offense." ( \$ite July 10, 2008 letter from A. Villafana, Assistant U.S. Attorney, attached hereto as Exhibit "A"). + +Defendant also attempts to make much of a typographical error that appears in Count III in the "Wherefore" clause demanding a judgment for damages. There, the pleading inadvertently makes reference to 28 U.S.C. §2255(a) instead of 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). As is clear from the Defendants' Motions, Defendant is well aware that this is a typographical error and that the intent is to reference 18 U.S.C. §2255. In any event, this reference concerns the Plaintiffs' damages, not the elements of Plaintiff's claim set forth in the paragraphs above it.' Count III nonetheless satisfies Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(3), as the "Wherefore" clause states that Plaintiff seeks actual and compensatory damages, costs of suit, attorneys' fees and such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. If deemed necessary, the typographical error in the "Wherefore" clause of Count III can be corrected by interlineation. It does not warrant a dismissal and repleading. + +# IV. THERE IS NO BASIS FOR DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT + +A motion for more definite statement under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(e) may only be granted "if a pleading is so vague or ambiguous that a party cannot reasonably be required to frame a responsive pleading." v. Two Brothers Farm. LLC, 2008 WL 4405409 \*1 (S.D. Ha. 2008) (quoting Betancourt v. Marine Cargo Mgmt., 930 F. Supp. 606, 608 (S.D. Fla. 1996)). Federal courts disfavor motions for more definite statement. Home Mgmt. Solutions. Inc. v. Prescient. Inc. 2007 WL 2412834 (S.D. Ha. 2007). Most importantly, "Defendants may not use a motion for more definite statement as a means of discovery regarding those claims." 2008 WL 4405409 at \*1. Yet that is exactly how Defendant Epstein uses his Motions for More Definite Statement. He + +' As a result, this reference in error to 28 U.S.C. 2255(a) is not set forth in a paragraph to which Defendant would be expected to frame an answer. + +seeks by these Motions specific facts which are the proper subject of discovery, not pleadings. Accordingly, Defendants Motions for More Definite Statement should be denied. + +# V. Conclusion + +For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs respectfully request that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss be denied in their entirety. + +Dated: October 31, 2008.

Contrary to each Plaintiffs assertion, Defendant does not concede that Plaintiff has sufficiently plead the elements required to assert claims in Count I for "Sexual Assault and Battery" and in Count III pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§2422, and Defendant has not "misconstrued" the pleading standard formulated by the United States Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twomblv, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007). In discussing Twomblv, the Eleventh Circuit in v. Fla. International Univ., 495 F.3d 1289, 1295 (11th Cir. 2007), noted - "The Supreme Court's most recent formulation of the pleading specificity standard is that 'stating such a claim requires a complaint with enough factual matter (taken as true) to suggest' the required element." In order to sufficiently allege the claim, the complaint is required to identify "facts that are suggestive enough to render [the element] plausible." 495 F.3d at 1296 (quoting Twombly , 127 S.Ct. at 1965). As stated in Defendant's motion to dismiss, Plaintiff has not met this standard requiring the pleading of facts to suggest the elements of the claims she is attempting to assert. In other words, Plaintiff is required to plead facts that suggest each element of the claim she is attempting to assert, as opposed to a generalized pleading. Accordingly, Defendant relies on the legal positions and argument in his motion, rather than reargue what has already been stated. + +Finally, the letter attached as an Exhibit to Plaintiffs response is not dispositive of the issue of whether the Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged a claim in Count III pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2422. + +Jane Doe No. 3 v. Epstein +Page 3 + +Wherefore, Defendant requests that this Court grant his motion to dismiss and for more definite statement directed to Plaintiff's Complaint. + +**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 3 ("Plaintiff") filed a response to the motion (DE 45) and Defendant filed a Reply (DE 46). The Court has carefully reviewed the motion, response, and reply, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +## Background + +On March 5, 2008, Plaintiff filed her Complaint against Defendant (DE 1), which was replaced on September 22, 2008 by an Amended Complaint (DE 37). Plaintiff brings suit alleging Count I - Sexual Assault and Battery; Count II - Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress; and Count III - Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422. + +The facts, as alleged in the Amended Complaint, are as follows: At all relevant times, Defendant was an adult male. Am. Comp1.1 7. Defendant engaged in a plan and scheme in + +which he gained access to primarily economically disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money. Am. Comp!. ¶ 8. In or about 2004- 2005, Plaintiff, then approximately 16 years old, became one of Defendant's victims. Am. Compl. ¶ 8. Defendant carried out his scheme and assaulted girls in Florida, New York, and his private island in St. Am. Compl. ¶ 9. + +Defendant's scheme involved the use of, a Palm Beach Community College Student from Loxahatchee, Florida, to recruit underage girls. Am. Comp!. ¶ 10. Under Defendant's plan, underage girls were recruited ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation in his Palm Beach mansion. Id. would be contacted when Defendant was planning to be at his Palm Beach residence or soon after he arrived. Id. Defendant or someone on his behalf directed to bring one or more underage girls to the residence. Id. generally sought out economically disadvantaged underage girls from Loxahatchee and surrounding areas who would be enticed by the money being offered generally \$200 to \$300 per "massage" session — and who were perceived as less likely to complain to authorities or have credibility if allegations of improper conduct were made. Id. This was an important element of Epstein's plan. Id. + +Defendant's plan and scheme reflected a particular pattern and method. Am. Compl. ¶ 11. Upon arrival at Defendant's mansion, the underage victim would be brought to the kitchen. Id. She would then be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table in addition to other furnishings. Id. Once the girl was alone in the room, Defendant would enter wearing only a towel. M. Defendant would then lay down on the massage table and perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation and touching the girl sexually. + +Id. + +Consistent with the foregoing plan, recruited Plaintiff to give Defendant a massage for monetary compensation. Am. Comp!. ¶ 12. brought Plaintiff to Defendant's mansion in Palm Beach. Id. Plaintiff was led up a flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. Id. She was alone in the room when Defendant arrived wearing only a towel. Id. Defendant laid down on the massage table, and sexually assaulted Plaintiff during the massage. Id. In addition, Defendant masturbated during the massage. Id. + +After Defendant had completed the assault, Plaintiff was then able to leave the room and go back downstairs. Am. Comp1.1 13. She then met again, who brought her home. Id. Defendant paid Plaintiff \$200. Id. Defendant also paid for bringing Plaintiff to him. Id. As a result of this encounter, the 16-year-old Plaintiff experienced trauma, shock, confusion, shame, humiliation, and embarrassment. Am. Comp1.1 14. + +Under Count I - Sexual Assault and Battery, the Amended Complaint alleges as follows: Defendant acted with intent to cause an offensive contact with Plaintiff, or an imminent apprehension of such a contact, and Plaintiff was thereby put in such imminent apprehension. Am. Compl. ¶ 16. Defendant made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Plaintiff, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril. Am. Compl. ¶ 17. Defendant intentionally inflicted harmful or offensive contact on the person of Plaintiff, with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent. Am. Compl. 1 18. Defendant tortiously committed a sexual assault and battery on Plaintiff. Am. Comp!. ¶ 19. Defendant's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful. Id. Defendant's plan and scheme in which he committed such acts upon Plaintiff were done willfully and maliciously. Am. Compl. 1 20. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's assault on Plaintiff, she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. Am. Compl. ¶ 21. + +Under Count II, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, the Amended Complaint alleges as follows: + +Defendant's conduct was intentional or reckless. Am. Compl. 1 23. Defendant's conduct with a minor was extreme and outrageous, going beyond all bounds of decency. Am. Compl. 1 24. Defendant committed willful acts of child sexual abuse on Plaintiff Am. Compl. 1 25. These acts resulted in mental or sexual injury to Plaintiff, that caused or were likely to cause Plaintiff's mental or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Am. Compl. ¶ 25. Defendant's conduct caused severe emotional distress to Plaintiff. Am. Compl. ¶ 26. Defendant knew or had reason to know that his intentional and outrageous conduct would cause emotional distress and damage to Plaintiff, or Defendant acted with reckless disregard of the high probability of causing severe emotional distress to Plaintiff Id. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's intentional or reckless conduct, Plaintiff has suffered and will continue to suffer severe mental anguish and pain. Am. Compl. ¶ 27. + +Under Count III, Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, the Amended Complaint alleges as follows: + +Defendant used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Plaintiff, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. Am. Compl. ¶ 29. As a result of Defendant's violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, Plaintiff has suffered personal injury, + +including mental, psychological and emotional damages. Am. Comp!. 1 31. + +Defendant argues in his motion that Counts I and III of the Amended Complaint must be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(bX6). Alternatively, Defendant seeks a more definite statement of Counts I and III. Lastly, Defendant argues that the reference in Count III to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 should be stricken as immaterial. + +Plaintiff responds that the Court should deny the motion because the pleadings at issue contain a short and plain statement of the claims showing that Plaintiff is entitled to relief in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(aX2). Plaintiff contends that the specific facts sought by Defendant may properly be the subject of discovery, but are not necessary for purposes of pleading. + +# Standard of Review + +In deciding a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), a court must accept all factual allegations in a complaint as true and take them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. See Erickson v. Pardus, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200 (2007). To satisfy the pleading requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, a complaint must contain a short and plain statement showing an entitlement to relief, and the statement must "give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiffs claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 512 (2002) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 8); see also Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964 (2007); Dura Pharm., Inc. v. Broudo, 544 U.S. 336, 346 (2005). This is a liberal pleading requirement, one that does not require a plaintiff to plead with particularity every element of a cause of action. Roe v. Aware Woman Ctr. for Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 683 (11th Cir. 2001). Instead, the complaint need only "contain either direct or + +inferential allegations respecting all the material elements necessary to sustain a recovery under some viable legal theory." Id. (internal citation and quotation omitted). "A complaint need not specify in detail the precise theory giving rise to recovery. All that is required is that the defendant be on notice as to the claim being asserted against him and the grounds on which it rests." v. United Food and Comm'l Workers Intl Union, 866 F.2d 1380, 1384 (11th Cir. 1989). + +"While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(bX6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations, [ ] a plaintiff's obligation to provide the `grounds' of his 'entitlement to relief requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. at 1964-65 (citations omitted). "Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level on the assumption that all of the complaint's allegations are true." Id. at 1965. Plaintiff must plead enough facts to state a plausible basis for the claim. Id. + +### Discussion + +Counts I alleges a claim for sexual assault and battery. Under Florida law, It is customary to refer to the term "assault and battery" as if it were a legal unit, or a single concept; however, assault and battery are separate and distinct legal concepts, assault being the beginning of an act which, if consummated, constitutes battery. 3A Fla. Jur 2d Assault §1. "'The essential element of an assault is the violence offered, and not actual physical contact,' and `a battery is defined as an unlawful touching or striking or the use of force against the person of another with the intention of bringing about a harmful or offensive contact or apprehension thereof."' McDonald LM, 223 So.2d 553, 555 (Fla. 2n° DCA 1969), quoting 3 Fla.Jur., Assault and Battery, § 3. + +Assault is defined as an intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or force unlawfully directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a fear of imminent peril, coupled with the apparent present ability to effectuate the attempt. Lay v. Kremer, 411 So.2d 1347, 1349 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). A battery consists of the infliction of a harmful or offensive contact upon another with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent. Paul v. Holbrook, 696 So.2d 1311, 1312 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997); v. Atlantic Fed. Say. & Loan Ass'n 454 So.2d 52, 54 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984), review denied, 461 So.2d 116 (FIa.1985). + +Defendant does not contend that Plaintiff failed to allege the above-listed elements of the torts of assault and battery in Count I. Instead, Defendant argues that, under the standard of pleading established in Twombly,Plaintiff has failed to set forth sufficient factual allegations to support the pleading. Defendant's argument, in essence, is that in a post-Twombly pleading, a heightened fact pleading of specifics is required. However Twombly did not alter the standard for dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) in the typical case. As the Court explained in CBT Flint Partners, LLC v. Goodmail Systems, Inc: + +In my view Twombly did not radically alter the elementary rules of civil procedure that have governed litigation in the federal courts for the past seventy years. The Court's forced retirement of Conley v. "no set of facts" language does not change the fundamental command of Rule 8 as to what a valid complaint must look like. Indeed, the Court made clear that it was not imposing a heightened pleading standard. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. at 1974 ("[W]e do not require heightened fact pleading of specifics, but only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face."). As a general matter, I am loath to assume that the Supreme Court circumvented the normal channels for amending the Federal Rules. Swierkiewicz v. Sorema, 534 U.S. 506, 515 (2002) ("A requirement of greater specificity for particular claims is a result that must be obtained by the process of amending the Federal Rules, and not by judicial interpretation.") (quotations omitted). Second, to the extent that Twomblymight be plausibly read + +to alter the requirements for the sufficiency of a complaint, there should be a strong presumption in favor of narrowly confining the decision to its facts. Cohens v. Virginia, 19 U.S. 264 (1821) ( "It is a maxim not to be disregarded, that general expressions, in every opinion, are to be taken in connection with the case in which those expressions are used."). The Courts "new standard" was merely a specific way to articulate a solution to what it perceived to be a specific pleading problem, in a specific area of law that inflicted a high cost upon antitrust defendants. It was not a broad based new license for federal courts to ramp up pleading requirements. + +CBT Flint Partners, LLC v. Goodmail Systems, Inc., 529 F.Supp.2d 1376, 1379 (N.D. Ga. 2007). + +In this case, Defendant contends that the pleadings fail to allege the specific facts of "what was done to (Plaintiff);" "what Epstein said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff'; and "what was the intentional offensive or harmful contact?" (Mot. 5). As to these issues, the Amended Complaint alleges as follows: Alone with Plaintiff in an upstairs room of Defendant's mansion, Defendant wore only a towel. Am. Compl. ¶ 12. Defendant acted with intent to cause an offensive contact with Plaintiff, or an imminent apprehension of such a contact, and Plaintiff was thereby put in such imminent apprehension. Am. Compl.1 16. Defendant laid down on the massage table, and sexually assaulted Plaintiff during the massage. Am. Compl. ¶ 12. Defendant made an intentional, unlawful offer of offensive sexual contact toward Plaintiff, creating a reasonable fear of imminent peril. Am. Compl. 1 17. In addition, Defendant masturbated during the massage. Am. Compl. ¶ 12. Defendant intentionally inflicted harmful or offensive contact on the person of Plaintiff, with the intent to cause such contact or the apprehension that such contact is imminent. Am. Compl. ¶ 18. Defendant tortiously committed a sexual assault and battery on Plaintiff Am. Compl. ¶ 19. Defendant's acts were intentional, unlawful, offensive and harmful. Id. + +Plaintiff need not set forth more specific facts to support its allegations to satisfy the + +notice pleading standard under Rule 8, which requires only that a complaint must set forth a short and plain statement of the facts upon which the claim is based that is sufficient to give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiff's claims are and the grounds upon which they rest. The parties will be afforded a liberal opportunity for discovery "to disclose more precisely the basis of both claim and defense and to define more narrowly the disputed facts and issues." Conley v. 355 U.S. 41, 48 (1957). Defendant's motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement is DENIED as to Count I. + +Counts Ill' alleges a claim for coercion and enticement to sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422. That statute states, in pertinent part, + +(b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 10 years or for life. + +18 U.S.C. § 2422(b).2 + +The Amended Complaint alleges: "Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a + +'Plaintiff mistakenly cites 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in the wherefore clause of Count III, regarding damages sought. Plaintiff acknowledges that this was a typographical error and the correct cite is to 18 U.S.C. § 2255. Defendant's motion to strike the citation to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in the Amended Complaint is GRANTED. That citation is hereby STRICKEN and substituted with 18 U.S.C. § 2255. + +2 The allegations in the Amended Complaint closely track the language of § 2422(6), making it clear that this is the subsection upon which Plaintiff is relying. + +criminal offense." Am. Compl. ¶ 29. + +First, the Amended Complaint sufficiently alleges the element of using a facility or means of interstate commerce. See ¶ 29. More specifics are properly the subject of discovery. + +Second, Defendant argues that the Amended Complaint fails to set forth underlying factual allegations as to the requisite elements that Defendant knowingly persuaded, induced, enticed, or coerced Plaintiff, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. Specifically, Defendant claims that Plaintiff fails to allege with what criminal offense Defendant could have been charged. See 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). The Amended Complaint states a cause of action for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422. However, Defendant's position that Plaintiff must state what part of "to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense" upon which is relying Plaintiff is well-taken. + +Rule 12(e) permits a party to move for a "more definite statement of a pleading to which a responsive pleading is allowed but which is so vague or ambiguous that the party cannot reasonably prepare a response." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e). As explained by another court, "[t]he claim of the plaintiff in his complaint is sufficiently definite to enable the defendant to know with what it is charged, and it is reasonably able therefrom to respond whether it did the thing charged." Dennis v. Begley Drug Co. of Tennessee, Inc., 53 F.R.D. 608, 609 (E.D. Tenn. 1971). As it is written, ¶ 29 is ambiguous as to whether Plaintiff claims prostitution or another criminal offense (and if so, what offense) with which Defendant could have been charged' The Court + +3 In its opposition, Plaintiff improperly seeks to rely upon a July 10, 2008 letter from A. Villafana, Assistant U.S. Attorney to Plaintiff's counsel. This letter was not referenced in nor attached to the Amended Complaint. It is axiomatic that, at the motion to dismiss stage, the + +finds that Defendant is entitled to a more definite statement as tol 29 in order to provide Defendant with sufficient notice to frame a responsive pleading. + +## Conclusion + +For the reasons stated herein, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss and Motion for More Definite Statement, Directed to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (DE 41) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART as follows: + +- I. Defendant's motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement as to Count I is DENIED. +- 2. Defendant's motion to dismiss or for a more definite statement as to Count Ill is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. Defendant's motion to dismiss is denied; however, Plaintiff must file another complaint, which includes a more definite statement as to Count III - Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422, as explained in this Order. +- 3. Defendant's motion to strike the citation to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in the Amended Complaint is GRANTED and that citation is hereby STRICKEN. DONE AND ORDERED in at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, + +Florida, this 12th day of February, 2009. + +KENNETH A. MARRA United States District Judge + +copies to: All counsel of record + +Court must consider well-pled allegations of the complaint as true and must limit its examination to the four corners of the complaint. Grossman v. Nationsbank, N.A., 225 F.3d 1228, 1231 (1 I th Cir. 2000). Thus, the Court will not consider the letter in ruling on the instant motion. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739459/EFTA02739459.metadata.json

INTERROGATORIES AND PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS, AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT + +Plaintiff, by and through undersigned counsel, files this Motion to Compel Answers to Interrogatories and Production of Documents, and Memorandum of Law in Support, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 and 37 and S.D.FIa.L.R. 26.1(H)(2), as follows: + +## I. INTRODUCTION + +Plaintiff in this case propounded 17 interrogatories and 24 documents requests. In response, Defendant has produced no information and no documents. Defendant's principal objection concerns his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Defendant, however, fails to set forth a sufficient predicate in his responses to interrogatories or documents requests for his refusal to provide any responsive documents or information. Defendant, rather, repeats in each response an all-encompassing, blanket assertion of Fifth Amendment privilege. + +Defendant's responses also include a laundry list of objections to Plaintiff's interrogatories and documents requests, none of which serve as a basis for a denial of all discovery. For the reasons discussed below, Plaintiff requests an order compelling Defendant to answer interrogatories and + +produce responsive documents. + +#### IL EPSTEIN'S BLANKET ASSERTION OF PRIVILEGE AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION IN RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES IS INSUFFICIENT + +Defendant's response to each and every one of Plaintiff's Interrogatories2 contains the following privilege objection: + +> I intend to respond to all relevant questions regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorney has counseled me that I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. + +Defendant's canned objection represents a "blanket" refusal to answer questions in this civil case. See Anglada v. Sprague,822 F.2d 1035, 1037 (11th Cir. 1987) (rejecting a "blanket" refusal to testify as unacceptable). While Plaintiff does not dispute that Defendant Epstein's Fifth Amendment privilege may be asserted in a civil case,; the Fifth Amendment's "protection must be confined to instances where the witness has reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer." Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486 (1951) (emphasis supplied). + +"[A] witness has some minimal burden to justify invocation of the privilege." In re J.M.V. + +' This Motion addresses almost entirely general or blanket objections to discovery, which are repeated in multiple or all of the Defendant's responses to Plaintiff's discovery requests. Accordingly, Plaintiff deviates where necessary from the format set forth in S.D.Fla.L.R. 26.10-0(2) in the interests of clarity and efficiency. + +'Attached as Exhibit "A" is Defendant's Response and Objections to Plaintiff's Interrogatories.

'This discussion addresses the Defendant's Fifth Amendment claim of privilege. Defendant also asserts a privilege under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Sixth Amendment does not provide a basis to refuse to answer questions in a civil case as a means to preserve the Defendant's "right to effective representation", as Defendant asserts in his responses. The Fourteenth Amendment likewise is inapposite, as state action is not at issue in this federal case.

Inc. 90 F.R. 737, 739 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1988). The privilege must be asserted in response to a particular question, and in each instance "[i]t is for the court to decide whether a witness' silence is justified and to require him to answer if it clearly appears to the Court that the witness asserting the privilege is mistaken as to its validity." In re Morganroth 718 F.2d 161, 166-167 (6th Cir. 1983) (holding that it was not sufficient for witness to answer every question with conclusory assertion of Fifth Amendment privilege). Accord Anglada, 822 F.2d at 1037 (noting that Court should not have to speculate as to which questions would tend to incriminate); See also Hoffman, 341 U.S. at 486 (witness' "say-so does not of itself establish the hazard of self-incrimination"); In re Wincek 202 B.R. 161, 168 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 1996) (rejecting assertion of Fifth Amendment privilege in "broad, unsupported fashion").

The "reasonable cause" for invocation of the Fifth Amendment privilege is not self-evident from the interrogatories propounded by Plaintiff. For example, Interrogatory no. 1 asks the Defendant to identify employees who performed work or services at his Palm Beach residence. It is not apparent that identifying the chef, chauffeur, gardener, etc., would tend to incriminate the Defendant. The information sought in the bulk of the Plaintiff's interrogatories may be categorized generally as follows:

Tyne of InformationInterrogatory No.
identification of persons1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 17
identification of health care providers8
telephone numbers used by EpsteinII, 12

general information based on Florida Standard Interrogatories, F1a.R.Civ.P. Form 2, nos. 7, 10, 12

13. 14. l

These Interrogatories, on their face, do not infringe upon or otherwise implicate the Defendant's rights under the Fifth Amendment. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the Defendant to set forth reasonable cause for his invocation of the Fifth Amendment in response to each of these Interrogatories. Absent some interrogatory-by-interrogatory showing of reasonable cause, Plaintiff asks that Defendant's claims of privilege under the Fifth Amendment be rejected and overruled.

III. DEFENDANT'S BLANKET ASSERTION OF FIFTH AMENDMENT PRIVILEGE IN RESPONSE TO REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION IS INSUFFICIENT

In response to Plaintiffs Requests for Production,5 Defendant has asserted an identical, "blanket" objection to each and every request, as follows:

I intend to produce all relevant documents regarding this lawsuit. However, my attorneys have counseled me that at the present time I cannot select, authenticate, and produce documents relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

Initially, it is well established that the Fifth Amendment privilege may not apply to specific documents "even though they contain incriminating assertions of fact or belief because the creation of those documents was not 'compelled' within the meaning of the privilege." United States v. Hubbell 530 U.S. 27, 35-36 (2000). Accordingly, a party cannot avoid discovery merely because

Plaintiff does not challenge at this time Defendant's assertion of a Fifth Amendment privilege in response to interrogatory no. 9, which seeks information on Defendant's sexual aids.

s Defendant's Response to Request for Production, which sets forth each Request and the Defendant's Response, is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".

demanded documents contain incriminating evidence, "whether written by others or voluntarily prepared by himself." Id.

Nonetheless, the act of procuring documents may be considered testimonial and protected by the Fifth Amendment privilege in two instances: (1) if the existence and location of the documents are unknown; or (2) where production would "implicitly authenticate" the documents. In re Grand Jury Subpoena 1 F.3d 87, 93 (2d Cir. 1993); see also Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391, 410 (1976) (issue expressed as whether compliance with a document request or subpoena "tacitly conceded" the item's authenticity, existence or possession by the defendant). It is the Defendant's burden to demonstrate that the act of producing any particular responsive documents would entail testimonial self-incrimination. United States v. Wujkowski,929 F.2d 981, 984 (4th Cir. 1991). It is not self-evident or apparent from the Plaintiffs requests that the act of producing responsive items would be protected under the Fifth Amendment. In particular, there is no reason to believe that production of documents in response to the following requests would compel testimonial selfincrimination:

pes of Documents Requested Request Nos.

+ + + + + + + + + + + +
Agreements with the U.S. Attorney and State Attorney, and documents exchanged between Defendant and the U.S. Attorney or State Attorney1-4
Telephone records5-6
Videos, photographs of residence7
Documents relating to Plaintiff Jane Doe8
Air travel records10
Documents relating to modeling agencies11

Correspondence with other witnesses 14, 15, 16. 17. I9

Social networking documents 18

Gifts to minor females 20

Personal calendars, diaries 21, 22

Prescription medicines 236

As to the above-listed items, it is not possession or control of these items that would prove incriminating; rather, if anything, it is their contents, which are not protected by the Fifth Amendment privilege so long as they were created voluntarily. Fisher 425 U.S. at 410; see also In re 156 B.R. 272, 177-78 (Bankr. D. Idaho 1993). Nor would production of items in response to these requests "implicitly authenticate" items that are themselves incriminating. See In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 1 F.3d at 93-94 (holding that defendant's calendar/diary not protected from discovery by "act of production" doctrine under the Fifth Amendment).

Without more, therefore, Defendant's blanket claim of a Fifth Amendment privilege in response to all of Plaintiff's document requests should be rejected, and responsive documents ordered to be produced.

IV. DEFENDANT'S OBJECTION AND STATEMENT CONCERNING ADVERSE INFERENCE IS INAPPROPRIATE AND INCORRECT

Defendant makes the following self-serving and unnecessary assertion in response to each and every interrogatory and document request propounded by Plaintiff:

Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution.

'Plaintiff concedes that the act of producing items in response to request no. 9, concerning witness statements, and request nos. 12-13, concerning photographs or images of females, may implicate the Fifth Amendment.

Although a defendant's assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege cannot be used against a criminal defendant, it is well established that "an adverse inference based on a refusal to testify in a civil case is an appropriate remedy as it provides some relief to the civil litigant whose case is unfairly prejudicial by a witness' assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege ..." United States v. Custer Battles. L.L.C. 415 F. Supp. 2d 628, 632 (E.D. Va. 2006); accordBaxler v. Pahnigiano,425 U.S. 408, 318 (1976) ("the Fifth Amendment does not forbid adverse inferences against parties to civil actions when they refuse to testify in response to probative evidence offered against them"); Securities and Exhange Comm'n v. Graystone Nash. Inc. 25 F.3d 187, 190 (3d Cir. 1994) ("[t]he [defendant's] dilemma of choosing between complete silence and presenting a defense [in a civil case] does not fatally infect the right against compelled self-incrimination").7

In any event, the issue of adverse inference, at this juncture, is premature. It is first necessary to determine whether the Fifth Amendment privilege is validly asserted in response to particular questions. This issue is typically resolved on a motion to compel. Custer Battles 415 F. Supp. 2d at 633. If it is determined that the privilege is properly asserted, then adverse inferences are admissible consistent with the Rules of Evidence, i.e., where they are relevant, reliable and not unfairly prejudicial, confusing or cumulative. Id. at 634. Such evidentiary issues concerning adverse inference are appropriately addressed at the time of summary judgment or trial. It is inappropriate and unnecessary to challenge the use of adverse inferences through self-serving statements in blanket objections to interrogatories.

V. PLAINTIFF IS ENTITLED TO DEFENDANT'S HEALTH CARE INFORMATION IN DISCOVERY

'Moreover, a defendant in a civil case may not manipulate his use of the Fifth Amendment privilege by shielding himself from inquiries during discovery, and then submitting surprise testimony in a summary judgment affidavit or at trial. Id. at 191.

A. Interrogatory at Issue

"Interrogatory No.8. Identify all of Jeffrey Epstein's health care providers in the past (10) ten years, including without limitation, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors, physician, hospital and treatment facilities."

B. Pertinent Portion of Defendant's Objection

"... [s]uch information is privileged pursuant to Rule 501, Fed.Evid., and §90.503, Fla.Evd. Code. In addition, such information is protected by the provision of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)."

C. Grounds for Objection and Reasons for Motion

The substantive basis for Defendant's objection is a claim of privilege under state law, Florida Statute §90.503 (psychotherapist-patient privilege) and federal law, HIPAA, 42 U.S.C. §1320d et seq. Neither of these privilege claims are a basis to withhold relevant health care information in this case. Initially, Florida Statute §90.503 does not protect as privileged the identity of health care providers, which is all that is sought in Plaintiffs interrogatory. Rather, it protects "confidential communications" with a psychotherapist. Florida Statute §90.503(2). Further, Plaintiff is ultimately entitled to discovery from the Defendant's psychotherapists because §90.503 does not apply to relevant documents in a case of child abuse under Florida Statute §39.204. This Statute abrogates the psychotherapist-patient privilege in cases involving child abuse:

Abrogation of privileged communications in cases involving child abuse, abandonment, or neglect.- the privileged quality of communication . . . between any professional person and his or her patient or client, and any other privileged communication except that between attorney and client or the privilege provided ins. 90.505, as such communication relates both to the competency of the witness and to the exclusion of confidential communications, shall not apply

to any communication involving the perpetrator or alleged perpetrator in any situation involving known or suspected child abuse....

(Emphasis supplied).8 "With the exceptions of the attorney-client privilege and the clergy communications privilege, section 39.204 abrogates the various evidentiary privileges in cases involving child abuse, abandonment or neglect." Nussbaumer v. State, 882 So.2d 1067 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004). It represents a determination by the legislature that discovery of facts relating to claims of child abuse is more important than the protection of otherwise confidential psychotherapistpatient communications:

Obviously, the psychotherapist privilege provided by section 90.503(2) is intended to encourage people who need treatment for mental disorders (including child abusers) to obtain it by insuring the confidentiality of communication during treatment. We must assume, however, that the legislature, in passing [§39.204) weighed the desirability of encouraging treatment for child abusers against the desirability of discovering them and decided that the latter was more important than the former. The intent of [§39.204] is to discourage child abuse. That discouragement, in view of the statutory language, can occur by way of a civil lawsuit for damages as well as by way of a criminal prosecution.

garsori v. l, 466 So.2d 1188, 1190 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985) (analyzing predecessor statute, §4 I 5.512, Fla. Stat.).

Defendant also asserts HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, 42 U.S.C. §1320d et seq. as a ground for objection to Plaintiff's interrogatory. "HIPAA does not create substantive rights that act as a bar on discovery. . . . HIPAA regulations is (sic) purely procedural in nature and does not create a federal physician-patient or hospital-patient privilege."

The term "child abuse" is defined broadly in the Statute to encompass the acts and conduct alleged against Epstein in this case. A "child" is a person under the age of 18, and "abuse" means "any willful or threatened act that results in any physical, mental, or sexual injury or harm that causes or is likely to cause the child's physical, mental or emotional health to be significantly impaired."

v. Woodford, 2007 WL 309485 \*11 (E.D. Cal. 2007). Under HIPAA, health care information may be disclosed in discovery under a qualified protective order, which prohibits using or disclosing protected health care information for any purpose other than the litigation and requires return or destruction of the protected health care information. 45 C.F.R. §164.512(i)(e). Accordingly, there is no basis to withhold from discovery Epstein's health care information, particularly as it relates to Plaintiff's allegations of child abuse.

VI. OTHER OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S DISCOVERY REOUESTS ARE MERITLESS

A. Overbroad; Relevance

In response to each and every interrogatory propounded by Plaintiff, Defendant asserts in blanket and conclusory fashion that it is "overbroad and seeks information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor dies it appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." Defendant also objects to each and every document request as overbroad. These objections are groundless. Plaintiff's discovery requests fall within the scope of broad discovery and relevance under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26. All of Plaintiff's interrogatories and document requests are sufficiently narrow and tailored for Defendant to reasonably provide substantive responses. Defendant fails to indicate unfair prejudice or undue burden from any interrogatory or document request. Defendant provides no responsive information whatsoever, nor has he made any suggestion to reasonably narrow or limit any of the Plaintiff's discovery requests.

Defendant complains that the time period covered in the interrogatories is too broad. The stated time period, applicable to Plaintiff's interrogatories and documents requests generally, as noted in Defendant's responses, is January I, 2003 to present. This time frame is sufficiently

Florida Statutes §39.201.

narrow, especially since the plan and scheme alleged in the Complaint to lure girls to the Defendant's Palm Beach mansion for "massages" has been in place since at least that date. Defendant's overbroad/relevance objections should, accordingly, be overruled.

B. Work Product; AttorneyClient Privilege

In response to various interrogatories and all of the documents requests, Defendant asserts in conclusory fashion objections based on the attorney work product and attorney-client communication privilege.9 In making these privilege claims, Defendant failed to provide a privilege log as required by S.D.Fla.L.R. 26.1(G)(3). These interrogatories and mg uests generally do not on their face implicate the work product or attorney client privileges.10 These privilege claims should therefore be rejected and overruled.

C. Plaintiff's Definitions of "Employee" is Reasonable

Defendant contests the definition of "Employee" in Plaintiff's document requests and interrogatories, which states as follows:

'These privileges are asserted in response to Interrogatory nos. 13, 14, and 17, and each and every document request.

'The only possible exception would be Plaintiffs Document Request no. 9, which seeks witness statements; nonetheless, Defendant is required to comply with the Local Rule and provide a privilege log in response to this request as well as the others.

The term "Employee" appears in Interrogatory nos. 1, 2, and Document Request no. 6. The breadth of this definition is reasonable under the circumstances of this case. Upon information and belief, Defendant Epstein conducted his business and personal affairs through a labyrinth of corporate entities and other business forms. This definition of "Employee" is reasonable to encompass responsive information and documents.

D. Fed.R.Civ.P. 408 and 410 Do Not Create a Privilege in Discovery

Defendant objects to Document Request nos. 1-5, which seek the Defendant's agreements with the U.S. Attorney and State Attorney, and documents exchanged with their offices, on the grounds of Fed.R.Evid. 408 and 410. These Rules cover the admissibility in evidence of compromises and plea agreements; they do not set forth a privilege applicable to such agreements in discovery. To the extent a protective order with regard to such documents is deemed appropriate, Plaintiffs counsel agrees to limit their use to this litigation, and not to disclose documents responsive to these requests to third parties.

E. Third Path PliNIICN Rights

Defendant broadly and vaguely asserts third party privacy rights in response to various document requests. To the extent that any such privacy rights are properly raised in this case, Plaintiff consents to the entry of an appropriate protective order under which such documents will not be disseminated to third parties and will be used only for purposes of this litigation.

VII. Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff respectfully requests that Defendant's assertions of privilege and objections be denied and overruled, and that an Order be entered directing Defendant to answer the Plaintiff's Interrogatories and produce documents responsive to Plaintiffs Requests

for Production, subject to such protective order as may be necessary and appropriate. Plaintiff further requests such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.

This +response does not change the legal objections previously raised but rather sets forth a +discussion of the law in support of Defendant's constitutional objections to production, in +particular, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Except for the +discussion of law set forth herein, this response sets forth the identical responses and +objections previously filed and served. Accordingly, Plaintiff is in no way prejudiced by +this Amended Response. + +**Legal Basis Applicable to Each of Defendant's Objections Set Forth Below** + +In response to each of the items requested, set forth below, Defendant asserts +his Fifth Amendment Privilege against self-incrimination. The Fifth Amendment + +*cc: JEFREY EPSTEIN* + +Privilege extends to the act of production where, as here, it involves a self-incriminating testimonial communication or "a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell 530U.S. 27, 120 S.Ct. 2037 (2000); Fisher v. United States 425U.S. 391 (1976); McCormick on Evidence, Title 6, Chap. 13. The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, §138 (6th Ed.). See also Malloy v. Hogan 84S.Ct. 1489, 1495 (1964)(the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause applies to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "[i]t would be incongruous to have different standards determine the validity of a claim of privilege based on the same feared prosecution, depending on whether the claim was asserted in state or federal court."); Hoffman v. U.S. 71S.Ct. 814, 818 (1951), and progeny). + +The Fifth Amendment Privilege may be invoked in a civil action where alitigant or witness is being asked to provide information or respond to aquestion that may incriminate him in a crime. See generally DeLisi v. Bankers Ins. Company, 436So.2d 1099(Fla. 4m DCA 1983). The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." Awitness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to aquestion could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id- Pillsbury Company v. Conbov 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). + +The United States Supreme Court has made clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege includes the circumstances as here "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000). In explaining the application of the privilege, the Supreme Court stated: + +We have held that "the act of production" itself may implicitly communicate "statements of fact." By "producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic."FN19 Moreover, as was true in this case, when the custodian of documents responds to a subpoena, he may be compelled to take the witness stand and answer questions designed to determine whether he has produced everything demanded by the subpoena.FN20 The answers to those questions, as well as the act of production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence, custody, and authenticity of the documents. Whether the constitutional privilege protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is a question that is distinct from the question whether the unprotected contents of the documents themselves are incriminating. + +FN19 "The issue presented in those cases was whether the act of producing subpoenaed documents, not itself the making of a statement, might nonetheless have some protected testimonial aspects. The Court concluded that the act of production could constitute protected testimonial communication because it might entail implicit statements of fact: by producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic. United States v. Doe, 465 U.S., at 613, and n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 1237; Fisher, 425 U.S., at 409-410, 96 S.Ct. 1569; id. at 428, 432, 96 S.Ct. 1569 (concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States, [487 U.S.] at 104, 108 S.Ct. 2284; [id.] at 122, 108 S.Ct. 2284 (dissenting opinion). Thus, the Court made clear that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies to acts that imply assertions of fact."... An examination of the Court's application of these principles in other cases indicates the Court's recognition that, in order to be testimonial, an accused's communication must itself, explicitly or implicitly, relate a factual assertion or disclose information. Only then is a person compelled to be a 'witness' against himself." Doe v. United States, 487 U.S., at 209-210, 108 S.Ct. 2341 (footnote omitted). + +> FN20. See App. 62-70. Thus for example, after respondent had been duly sworn by the grand jury the prosecutor called his attention to paragraph A of the SubpoenaRider (reproduced in the Appendix, infra, at 2048-2049) and asked whether he had produced "all those documents." App. 65. + +Finally, the phrase "in any criminal case" in the text of the Fifth Amendment might have been read to limit its coverage to compelled testimony that is used against the defendant in the trial itself. It has, however, long been settled that its protection encompasses compelled statements that lead to the discovery of incriminating evidence even though the statements themselves are not incriminating and are not introduced into evidence. Thus, a half century ago we held that a trial judge had erroneously rejected a defendant's claim of privilege on the ground that his answer to the pending question would not itself constitute evidence of the charged offense. As we explained: + +"The privilege afforded not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a federal criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a federal crime." Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814, 95 L.Ed. 1118 (1951). + +Compelled testimony that communicates information that may "lead to incriminating evidence" is privileged even if the information itself is not inculpatory. Doe v. United States, 487 U.S. 201, 208, n. 6, 108 S.Ct. 2341, 101 L.Ed.2d 184 (19881. It's the Fifth Amendment's protection against the prosecutor's use of incriminating information derived directly or indirectly from the compelled testimony of the respondent that is of primary relevance in this case. + +In summarizing its holding regarding the application of the Fifth Amendment Privilege to a production request, the Hubbell Court left "no doubt that the constitutional privilege against self incrimination protects" not only "the target of a grand jury investigation from being compelled to answer questions designed to elicit information about the existence of sources of potentially incriminating evidence," but the privilege also "has the same application to the testimonial aspect of a response to a subpoena seeking discovery of those sources." At 43, and 2047. + +EPSTEIN entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") with United States Attorney General's Officer ("USAO") for the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the NPA also entailed EPSTEIN entering into a Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. As well, pursuant to the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN. Criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010 and as long as the USAO determines that EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010. The USAO possesses the right to declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice, and attempt to move forward with the prosecution. See attached Exhibit "A", Affidavit of Jack A. Goldberger, a board certified criminal defense attorney who has in the past and is currently representing EPSTEIN. + +This is precisely the situation that the protection of the Fifth Amendment Privilege is to apply. By responding to the request as opposed to asserting his constitutional privilege, EPSTEIN would admit that the documents/items existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic. The act of production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence, custody, and authenticity of the documents/items. "Whether the constitutional privilege protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is aquestion that is distinct from the + +question whether the unprotected contents of the documents themselves are incriminating." United States v. Hubbell supra. + +Given the type of documents requested (set forth below), the collection and production of the of the items demanded would be "tantamount to answering a series of interrogatories asking a witness to disclose the existence and location of particular documents/[items] fitting certain broad descriptions." Hubbell supra at 41-2, and 2046. Responding to the requests is "the functional equivalent of the preparation of an answer to either a detailed written interrogatory or a series of oral questions at a discovery deposition." Id. As stated in Hubbell, "it is undeniable that providing a catalog of existing documents (items)" fitting within any of the requested documents "could provide a prosecutor with a 'lead to incriminating evidence,' or 'a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute.- + +Accordingly, Defendant's constitutional objection is required to be upheld. + +## Specific Requests & Responses. Including Objections + +Request No. 1: Any and all evidence required to be maintained by Epstein and the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, specifically evidence requested by or directly related to the grand jury subpoenas that have been issued in connection with the investigation referenced in the Non-Prosecution Agreement, and including certain computer equipment. + +Response: Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the production request as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to produce all relevant documents regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that at the + +Page 7 + +present time I cannot select, authenticate, and produce documents relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. In addition to and without waiving his constitutional privileges, the information sought is privileged and confidential, and inadmissible pursuant to the terms of the deferred prosecution agreement, Fed. Rule of Evidence 410 and 408, and §90.410, Fla. Stat. Further, the request may include information subject to work product or an attorney-client privilege. + +Request No. 2: Any and all documents reflecting or relating to the identity of, the scheduling of, and/or the payment of any female compensated by or on behalf of Epstein for providing any service to Epstein that required, contemplated, or included in the provisions of such service, any physical contact between Epstein and the female, any act or prostitution, any illicit sexual conduct, the exposure of breast, buttocks or genitalia, or any commercial sex act as defined in 18 U.S.C. §1591(c)(1). + +Response: Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the production request as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges.

Rule of Evidence 410 and 408, and §90.410, Fla. Stat. Further Defendants objects to the production as overly broad and seeking information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear to be reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The Plaintiff in this instance has alleged in her complaint that she was sexually abused by the Defendant on one occasion sometime in the year 2004. The documents requested herein have no time period provided, and therefore the information sought is grossly overbroad. + +Request No. 3: Any and all documents reflecting or relating to the identity of and/or the nature and extent of any other person's participation in the communication with and/or the scheduling of and/or the payment of any person who participated in any conduct described in Request #2. + +Response: Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the production request as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges.

GOLDBERGER, ESQUIRE + +STATE OF FLORIDA ) SS COUNTY OF PALM BEACH ) + +BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared having personal knowledge and being duly sworn, deposes and says: + +1. I, Jack A. Goldberger, have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida since 1978. I am a partner with the law firm of Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss, P.A., located at One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400, 250 Australian Avenue South, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. + +2. My practice includes and specializes in the defense of criminal matters. I am board certified in criminal law. I have been and currently am the criminal defense attorney for JEFFREY EPSTEIN. + +3. I represented Mr. EPSTEIN in the negotiation of and entering into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the Non-Prosecution Agreement also entailed the entering of a Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. (The Non-Prosecution Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "NPA"). + +4. By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. Also, pursuant to the terms of the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN. + +EXHIBIT. + +5. The criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010, and as long as the USAO determines EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by USAO in the Southern District of Florida continues presently and through late 2010. + +6. Pursuant to the terms of the NPA, the USAO possesses the right to declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice, and attempt to move forward with a prosecution. As of the date of this Affidavit, the USAO has taken the position on a number of occasions that it might consider the following actions by EPSTEIN to be a breach of the NPA. + +- Investigation by EPSTEIN (by and through his attorneys) of this Plaintiff and the other Plaintiffs in other pending civil cases for purposes of defending the civil actions; +- EPSTEIN's contesting damages in this action and other civil actions +- EPSTEIN or his legal representatives making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or the other Plaintiffs. +- Using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. + +7. EPSTEIN, through counsel, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for documents relating to this and the other cases; the FBI denied the request stating the materials are at this time exempt from disclosure because they are in an investigative file, i.e. the matter is still an ongoing criminal investigation. + +8.

MOTION TO COMPEL ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES, and RESPONSES TO 1st and 2 nd PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS, AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned counsel, serves his response and supporting memorandum of law to Plaintiffs Motion to Compel Answers to Interrogatories and Production of Documents, and Incorporated Memorandum of Law In Support, dated March 2, 2009. In support of Defendant's assertion of constitutional privileges and objections to discovery and in response to Plaintiffs motion to compel, Defendant states: + +## Introduction + +As discussed more fully herein, Defendant has asserted constitutional based protections to the discovery requests propounded by Plaintiff. In addition and in alternative to the constitutional protections afforded under the Fifth, Fourteenth and Sixth Amendments, Defendant also asserted other factual/legal objections and privileges. However, as will be evident in reviewing Plaintiffs discovery requests and Defendant's response, the constitutional assertions are required to be determined first so that Defendant does not risk rendering these protections meaningless in attempting + +to assert and argue the factual basis for the additional objections and privileges. See part II.A. herein. + +I. Defendant EPSTEIN has properly asserted his constitutional claims of privilege and effective assistance of counsel, as guaranteed under the Fifths Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, to each of the specified interrogatories and production requests. + +In accordance with applicable law, EPSTEIN has properly asserted his claims of privilege and effective assistance of counsel as guaranteed by the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution to each of the interrogatories propounded by Plaintiff in her first set of Interrogatories and first production request. See Exhibit A to Plaintiffs Motion to Compel for Defendant's Response and Objections to Plaintiffs Amended Interrogatories, and Exhibit B to Plaintiffs motion for production requests and Defendant's responses thereto. Contrary to Plaintiff's assertion that Defendant made an improper "blanket objection," Defendant examined and responded to each of the discovery requests and raised constitutional privileges, along with other alternative objections applicable to the specific interrogatory or production request. See Exhibit A and B to Plaintiff's motion. (Although Defendant sets forth each of the interrogatories and requests below, because Plaintiff has attached the responses as Exhibits to her motion, Defendant does not retype the responses in their entirety herein). + +The circumstances of this case (and the others) are such that not only does Defendant EPSTEIN face allegations of sexual misconduct with and abuse, exploitation, and sexual battery of alleged minors in this and other civil actions, but he also faces criminal prosecution based on the same factual allegations. The Plaintiffs attorney represents Jane Doe Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, in civil actions against EPSTEIN filed in + +this Court. (There are additional state and federal civil actions against EPSTEIN). In this and the other civil actions, the Plaintiffs reference federal and state criminal statutes in an attempt to allege claims ranging from sexual battery to intentional infliction of emotional distress, to a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2422, entitled "Coercion and enticement, contained in Title 18, "Crimes and Criminal Procedure," Part I — "Crimes,' Chapter 117 — "Transportation for Illegal Sexual Activity and Related Crimes'," to a cause of action pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255 — which creates a civil remedy for personal injuries where a plaintiff can show a violation of specified statutory criminal statues. Plaintiff is attempting to allege a violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. See endnote 1 for current text of 18 U.S.C. §2422, along with pre-2006 amended text. See Exhibit B hereto - copy of Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint. + +Plaintiff alleges that `4 a Palm Beach Community College student," was an "integral player in Epstein's Florida scheme;" "she recruited girls ostensibly to give a wealthy man a massage for monetary compensation ... ." 2d Am. Complaint, ¶10. (In civil actions by Jane Doe No. 2 and Jane Doe No. 5, also before this court, the Plaintiffs therein allege that ' , Epstein's assistant" was a part of "Epstein's plan and scheme (which) reflected a particular pattern and method" in the alleged recruiting of girl's to come to EPSTEIN's Palm Beach mansion and give him "massages" in exchange for money. Jane Doe No.2 and Jane Doe No. 5 - 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶11- 12.) According to the complaint allegations — "Upon information and belief Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls." ¶8. Once at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, the "victim" would be "led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table ... ." The girl would be alone with EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN + +would be "wearing only a towel to cover his private area." Epstein "then would lay down on the massage table and perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation and touching the girl sexually." 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶11, Exhibit B. Plaintiff alleges that "in 2004-2005," she, "then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." ¶8. + +Jane Doe No. 3 further alleges that brought her to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, where she was led up a flight of stairs a room with a massage table. "She was alone in the room when Epstein arrived wearing a towel to cover his private parts." Plaintiff alleges that Epstein "sexually assaulted" her and "masturbated" "during the massage" 2d Am. Complaint, ¶12. Plaintiff also alleges that EPSTEIN "maintains his principal home in New York and also owns residences in New Mexico, St.a and Palm Beach, FL." Id, ¶7. "Upon information and belief, Jeffrey Epstein carried out his scheme and assaulted girls in Florida, New York and on his private island, known as Little St. James, in St. M" Id, ¶9. The nature of the allegations is (obviously) serious. + +The threat of criminal prosecution is real and present as EPSTEIN remains under the scrutiny of the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) which, as explained more fully herein, possesses the power to move forward with its criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") with United States Attorney General's Office for the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the NPA also entailed EPSTEIN entering into a Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. As well, pursuant to the NPA, any criminal prosecution + +against EPSTEIN is deferred as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN. Criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010 and as long as the USAO determines that EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010. The USAO possesses the right to declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice, and attempt to move forward with the prosecution. In other words, the fact that there exists a NPA does not mean that EPSTEIN is free from future criminal prosecution. In fact, the threat of prosecution is real, substantial, and present. See attached Exhibit "A", Affidavit of Jack A. Goldberger, a board certified criminal defense attorney who has in the past and is currently representing EPSTEIN. + +## A. + +# Memorandum of Law Supporting Application of Constitutional Privileges + +The Fifth Amendment provides in relevant part that "No person ... shall be compelled in any Criminal Case to be a witness against himself? Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814 (1951), citing v. United States, 1944, 322 U.S. 487, 489, 64 S.Ct. 1082, 1083, 88 L.Ed. 1408." The Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination is "accorded liberal construction in favor of the right it was intended to secure." "The immediate and potential evils of compulsory selfdisclosure transcend any difficulties that the exercise of the privilege may impose on society in the detection and prosecution of a crime." Id, at 490; and In re Financial Svcs. of Fla., Inc., 259 B.R. 391, 399 (M.D. Fla. 2000). The privilege not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence + +needed to prosecute the claimant for a crime. Id, citing Blau v. United States, 1950, 340 U.S. 159, 71 S.Ct. 223. The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d 668, 669 (11th Cir. 1985), citing Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). See also Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17, 21, 121 S.Ct. 1252 (2001)(The Fifth Amendment privilege is also available to those who claim innocence. One of the Fifth Amendment's "basic functions ... is to protect innocent men ... 'who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances."); Malloy v. Hogan 84 S.Ct. 1489, 1495 (1964)(the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause applies to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "[lit would be incongruous to have different standards determine the validity of a claim of privilege based on the same feared prosecution, depending on whether the claim was asserted in state or federal court.")' Kastigar v. U.S. 406 U.S. 441, 444-45, 92 S.Ct. 1653 (1972)(The Fifth Amendment privilege "can be asserted in any proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used. This Court has been zealous to safeguard the values which underlie the privilege." (Emphasis added)). + +As EPSTEIN is here, "the claimant must be 'confronted by substantial and 'real,' and not merely trifling or imaginary, hazards of incrimination." See generally United States v. Apfelbaum, 445 U.S. 115, 128, 100 S.Ct. 948, 956, 63 L.Ed.2d 250 (1980)). + +See also, United States v. Neff, 615 F.2d 1235, 1239 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 447 U.S. 925, 100 S.Ct. 3018, 65 L.Ed.2d 1117 (1980)(Information is protected by the privilege not only if it would support a criminal conviction, but even if "the responses would merely 'provide a lead or clue' to evidence having a tendency to incriminate."). + +The United States Supreme Court has made clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege also encompasses the circumstance where "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); see also Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391 (1976); McCormick on Evidence, Title 6, Chap. 13. The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, §138 (611 Ed.). In explaining the application of the privilege, the Supreme Court stated: + +We have held that "the act of production" itself may implicitly communicate "statements of fact." By "producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic."s Fr Moreover, as was true in this case, when the custodian of documents responds to a subpoena, he may be compelled to take the witness stand and answer questions designed to determine whether he has produced everything demanded by the subpoena. Fazg The answers to those questions, as well as the act of production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence, custody, and authenticity of the documents. Whether the constitutional privilege protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is a question that is distinct from the question whether the unprotected contents of the documents themselves are incriminating. + +FN19. "The issue presented in those cases was whether the act of producing subpoenaed documents, not itself the making of a statement, might nonetheless have some protected testimonial aspects. The Court concluded that the act of production could constitute protected testimonial communication because it might entail implicit statements of fact: by producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic. United States v. Doe, 465 U.S., at 613. and n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 123T Fisher, 425 U.S., at 409-410, 96 S.Ct. 1569; id., at 428, 432, 96 S.Ct. 1569 (concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States, 1487 + +U.S.,] at 104, 108 S.Ct. 2284; [ *id.*,] at 122, 108 S.Ct. 2284 (dissenting opinion). Thus, the Court made clear that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies to acts that imply assertions of fact. "... An examination of the Court's application of these principles in other cases indicates the Court's recognition that, in order to be testimonial, an accused's communication must itself, explicitly or implicitly, relate a factual assertion or disclose information. Only then is a person compelled to be a 'witness' against himself." Doe v. United States, 487 U.S., at 209-210, 108 S.Ct. 2341 (footnote omitted). + +FN20. See App. 62-70. Thus, for example, after respondent had been duly sworn by the grand jury [ ], the prosecutor called his attention to paragraph A of the Subpoena Rider (reproduced in the Appendix, *infra*, at 2048-2049) and asked whether he had produced "all those documents." App. 65. + +Finally, the phrase "in any criminal case" in the text of the Fifth Amendment might have been read to limit its coverage to compelled testimony that is used against the defendant in the trial itself. It has, however, long been settled that its protection encompasses compelled statements that lead to the discovery of incriminating evidence even though the statements themselves are not incriminating and are not introduced into evidence. Thus, a half century ago we held that a trial judge had erroneously rejected a defendant's claim of privilege on the ground that his answer to the pending question would not itself constitute evidence of the charged offense. As we explained: + +"The privilege afforded not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a federal criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a federal crime." Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814, 95 L.Ed. 1118 (1951). + +Compelled testimony that communicates information that may "lead to incriminating evidence" is privileged even if the information itself is not inculpatory. Doe v. United States, 487 U.S. 201, 208, n. 6, 108 S.Ct. 2341, 101 L.Ed.2d 184 (1988). It's the Fifth Amendment's protection against the prosecutor's use of incriminating information derived directly or indirectly from the compelled testimony of the respondent that is of primary relevance in this case. + +In summarizing its holding regarding the application of the Fifth Amendment Privilege to a production request, the Hubbell Court left "no doubt that the constitutional privilege against self incrimination protects" not only "the target of a grand jury investigation from being compelled to answer questions designed to elicit information + +about the existence of sources of potentially incriminating evidence," but the privilege also "has the same application to the testimonial aspect of a response to a subpoena seeking discovery of those sources." At 43, and 2047. + +The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company v. Conboy, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). See also Hubbell, supra, quoted above as to what is encompassed by the phrase "in any criminal case" contained in the Fifth Amendment. + +As noted, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is broad. Hoffman; In re Financial Svcs. supra. To deny a witness the right to invoke the privilege, the judge must be perfectly clear, from a careful consideration of all the circumstances in the case, that the witness is mistaken, and that the answers cannot possibly have such tendency to incriminate. Id at 488, 399. Recognizing the breadth and magnitude of this constitutional privilege, the United States Supreme Court in discussing how a court is to analyze the application of the privilege stated — + +... It is for the court to say whether his silence is justified Rogers v. United States, 1951, 340 U.S. 367, 71 S.Ct. 438, and to require him to answer if 'it clearly appears to the court that he is mistaken.' Temple v. Commonwealth, 1880, 75 Va. 892, 899. However, if the witness, upon interposing his claim, were required to prove the hazard in the sense in which a claim is usually required to be established in court, he would be compelled to surrender the very protection which the privilege is designed to guarantee. To sustain the privilege, it need only be evident from the implications of the question, in the + +> setting in which it is asked, that a responsive answer to the question or an explanation of why it cannot be answered might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result. The trial judge in appraising the claim 'must be governed as much by his personal perception of the peculiarities of the case as by the facts actually in evidence.' + +Hoffman, supra at 486487. + +Hoffman and its progeny establish that "in view of the liberal construction of the provision [protecting against self-incrimination], after a witness has asserted the privilege, he should be compelled to provide the requested information only if it "clearly appears" to the court that the witness was mistaken in his invocation of the privilege." (Emphasis added). In re Financial Svcs., supra at 399, citing Hoffman, at 486. + +Finally, in order to preserve the privilege against self-incrimination, as EPSTEIN has properly done is response to each discovery request, the privilege must be asserted or one risks the loss or waiver of this liberty ensuring protection. See generally, U.S. v. M, 846 F.2d 678, 690 (11th Cir. 1988)("First, it ignores the settled principle which requires a witness to assert his Fifth Amendment rights. A witness who testifies at any proceeding, instead of asserting his Fifth Amendment rights, loses the privilege. ... A civil deponent cannot choose to answer questions with the expectation of later asserting the Fifth Amendment."). + +In the instant case, the privilege applies as Defendant EPSTEIN "has reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer." The risk of incrimination resulting from answering each of the interrogatories and requests for production is "substantial and real" and "not trifling or imaginary haphazards of communication." See generally, In re Financial Svcs., supra at 400. Based on the nature of Plaintiff's claims, along with the ongoing scrutiny of the USA() in the criminal mailers, EPSTEIN has + +"reasonable grounds to believe that his responses to the discovery would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against him. The very nature of the claims brought and the discovery being sought by Plaintiff in order to attempt to prove those claims establish a realistic possibility that the answer to an interrogatory or production request could be used in a type of way to convict EPSTEIN of a crime or aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at a criminal trial. Under the circumstances of this case, the threat of criminal prosecution is not imaginary. See Exhibits A and B to Plaintiffs Motion to Compel. This Court is well aware of the "peculiarities" of this action as it has before it other civil actions against EPSTEIN, all alleging similar underlying facts of sexual misconduct involving minors. The allegations of this action and others entail EPSTEIN allegedly "recruiting" Plaintiff and other minors to come to his home in Palm Beach to give him massages which allegedly became sexually inappropriate in nature, and EPSTEIN in turn would pay the minors. See Chapter 110 of Title 18, United States Code Annotated; and "predicate acts" specified in 18 U.S.C. §2255. + +Also applicable in upholding the assertion of Defendant's Fifth Amendment privilege is the guarantee of effective assistance of counsel by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. See Yarborough v. Gentry 124 S.Ct. 1, 540 U.S. 1, 157 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003)(Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants effective assistance of counsel.), on remand 381 F.3d 1219. The United States Constitutional guarantees are applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Obviously, EPSTEIN's assertion of his constitutional privileges and protections is on the advice of counsel. EPSTEIN continues to face criminal prosecution by the USAO until the expiration of the + +NPA; under the constitutional guarantee of effective assistance of counsel, he is entitled to follow the recommended advice of his criminal defense attorney. See Exhibit A hereto. A review of the complaint allegations and the circumstances of this case including multiple civil actions attempting to allege claims based upon sexual abuse and exploitation of minors, parallel criminal matter under which EPSTEIN continues to face prosecution for crimes based on the same allegations until the terms of the NPA have expired and been fulfilled as determined by the USAO - establish that EPSTEIN's invocation of his constitutional protections of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments be upheld; otherwise such constitutional protections would be rendered meaningless. + +### Circuit Court, State of Florida, recently entered order upholding assertion of Fifth Amendment and constitutional based protections in response to discovery. + +Further requiring the sustaining of Defendant's assertions of his constitutional protections, the 15th Judicial Circuit Court in and for Palm Beach County, State of Florida, recently entered an order sustaining Defendant's assertion of his 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment privileges and protections in response to Plaintiff A.C.'s request for production in A.C. v. Epstein, Case No. 502008CA025129XXXXMB Al. The Order, dated February 23, 2009, and the production requests and Defendant's responses are attached hereto as Composite Exhibit C. (Compare Requests for Production Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the instant case with the production request no. 1 in Composite Exhibit C hereto; compare requests nos. 20 and 21 in this case with nos. 2 and 3 in Comp. Ex. C; and compare information sought in interrogatories nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 15 in this case with information sought in request nos. 2 and 3 in Comp. Ex. C). + +#### B. Even if the Court were to agree with Plaintiffs assertion that Defendant has asserted a "blank privilege" under the Fifth Amendment, under the facts and circumstances of this case, such assertion would be proper. + +Plaintiff claims that Defendant has improperly asserted a "blanket privilege" to the discovery. As stated above, Defendant disagrees. Defendant evaluated each and every discovery request in asserting applicable constitutional privileges and other objections. The facts and circumstances of this case are such that in evaluating each of the interrogatories and production requests on an individual basis, the constitutional protections asserted by Defendant apply to each. The Court will note that the additional objections raised are also tailored to each interrogatory and production request. Even the Court's analysis of the discovery will be on an individualized basis. However, simply for the sake of argument, as to Plaintiffs assertion that Defendant has made a "blanket assertion," under the facts and circumstances of this case, such an assertion is proper. + +In allowing a blanket assertion, Courts have recognized a narrow exception to the rule that the assertion of the privilege must be to each specific question. The Courts, including this Circuit, acknowledged "an exception ... (where,) based on its knowledge of the case and of the testimony expected from the witness, (the trial court) can conclude that the witness could 'legitimately refuse to answer essentially all relevant questions." United States v. Goodwin, 625 F.2d 693, 701 (5th Cir. Fla. 1980)); United States v. Tsui 646 F.2d 365, 367-68 (9th Cir. 1981). This exception is narrow and is applicable where the trial judge has "some special or extensive knowledge of the case that allows evaluation of the claimed Fifth Amendment privilege even in the absence of specific questions to the witness." Id. See also U.S. v.a 157 Fed.Appx. 215, 218 (11th Cir. Ga. 2005)("A district court must make a particularized inquiry, evaluating whether the privilege applies with respect to each specific area that the questioning + +party wishes to explore. Melchor Moreno, 536 F.2d at 1049. The witness may be totally excused from testifying only if the court finds that he could legitimately refuse to answer essentially all relevant questions. United States v. Goodwin 625 F.2d 693, 701 (5th Cir.1980)."). + +See also State of Washington v. DelGado, 18 P.3d 1141 (Wa. Ct. of App. Div. 2 2001)("There is a narrow exception allowing a blanket privilege where "based on its knowledge of the case and of the testimony expected of the witness, [the trial court] can conclude that the witness could legitimately refuse to answer essentially all relevant questions. ... For the exception to apply, the trial judge must have 'some special or extensive knowledge of the case that allows evaluation of the claimed ... privilege even in absence of specific questions to the witness."). + +C. Plaintiffs statement of the law in section IV, (pp. 6-7), of her motion is incorrect under the circumstances. Contrary to Plaintiffs assertion, an adverse Inference from invocation of the Fifth Amendment in a civil case is not always permitted. + +In section IV, (pp. 6-7), of Plaintiffs motion to compel, Plaintiffs general claim that an adverse interest based on a defendant's invocation of the Fifth Amendment in a civil case may be made is improper under the facts and circumstances of this case. Plaintiff is correct as to the general rule that "adverse inferences may be drawn in the civil context when Defendants invoke the privilege in refusing to testify in response to probative evidence offered against them." F.T.C. v. Transnet Wireless Corp., 506 F.Supp.2d 1247, 1252, fn. 4 (S.D.Fla.,2007), citing Mitchell v. United States, 526 U.S. 314, 328, 119 S.Ct. 1307, 143 L.Ed.2d 424 (1999). However, there exists a well recognized exception to the general rule — "Courts may not draw adverse inferences, however, if it is the sole basis for Plaintiff's prima facie case, or will cause the "automatic + +entry of summary judgment." See generally F.T.C., supra, at fn.4, citing United States v. Premises Located at Route 13, 946 F.2d 749, 756 (11th Cir.1991) (citing Pervis v. State Farm and Cas. Co. 901 F.2d 944, 948 (11th Cir.1990)). See also S.E.C. v. Keith Group of Companies, Inc. 1998 WL 1670405 (S.D. Fla. 1998)("When a party is a defendant in both a civil and criminal case and is forced to choose between waiving his Fifth Amendment privilege ... or losing the civil case on summary judgment, an exception to the general rule ... applies. In such a situation, the Court may not make an adverse inference about the party's refusal to testify.") Accordingly, Defendant's assertion that an adverse interest "under the circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the constitution," is both proper and required to be upheld at this time. + +# D. Plaintiffs Amended First Set of Interrogatories to Defendant + +Listed below is each of the interrogatories propounded by Plaintiff. As noted above, Defendant responded to each interrogatory separately in raising his constitutional privileges and guarantees, and, in the alternative, raising specific other applicable objections to each. See Exhibit A to Plaintiffs motion to compel. + +No. 1. Identify all employees who performed work of services inside the Palm Beach Residence. + +No. 2. Identify all Employees not identified in response to interrogatory no. 1 who at any time came to Defendant's Palm Beach Residence. + +No. 3. Identify all persons who came to the Palm Beach Residence and who gave a massage or were asked to give a massage to Defendant. + +No. 4. Identify all persons who came to the New York Residence and who gave a massage or were asked to give a massage to Defendant. + +No. 5. Identify all persons who came to the New Mexico Residence and who gave a massage or were asked to give a massage to Defendant. + +No. 6. Identify all persons who came to the St.l= Residence and who gave a massage or were asked to give a massage to Defendant. + +No. 7. List all the time periods during which Jeffrey Epstein was present in the State of Florida, including for each the date he arrive and the date he departed. + +No. 8. Identify all of Jeffrey Epstein health care providers in the past (10) ten years, including without limitation, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors, physicians, hospitals and treatment facilities. + +No. 9. (Not at Issue.)' List all items in Jeffrey Epstein's possession in Palm Beach, Florida, at any time during the period of these interrogatories, which were used or intended to be used as sexual aids, sex toys, massage aids, and/or vibrators, and for each, list the manufacturer, model number (if applicable), and its present location. + +No. 10. Identify all persons who provide transportation services to Jeffrey Epstein, whether as employees or independent contractors, including without limitation, chauffeurs and aircraft crew. + +No. 11. Identify all telephone numbers used by Epstein, including cellular phones and land lines in any of his residences, by stating the complete telephone number and the name of the service provider. + +No. 12. Identify all telephone numbers of employees of Epstein, used in the course or scope of their employment, including cellular phones and land lines in any of his residences, by stating the complete telephone number and the name of the service provider. + +No. 13. List the names and addresses of all persons who are believed or known by you, your agents, or your attorneys to have any knowledge concerning any of the issues in this lawsuit; and specify the subject matter about which the witness has knowledge. + +No. 14. State the name and address of every person known to you, your agents, or your attorneys who has knowledge about, possession, or custody, or control of, any model, plat, map, drawing, motion picture, videotape or photograph pertaining to any fact or issue involved in this controversy; and describe as to each, what item such person has, the name and address of the person who took or prepared it, and the date it was taken or prepared. + +No. 15. Identify all persons who have made a claim, complaint, demand or threat against you relating to alleged sexual abuse or misconduct on a minor and for each provide the following information: + +- a. The person's full name, last known address and telephone number; +- b. The person's attorney, if represented; +- c. The date of the alleged incident(s); +- d. If a civil case has been filed by or on behalf of the person, the case number and identifying information. + +' Fn. 4 of Plaintiff's motion states — "Plaintiff does not challenge at this time Defendant's Fifth Amendment privilege in response to interrogatory no. 9, which seeks information of Defendant's sexual aids." + +No. 16. State the facts upon which you intend to rely for each denial of a pleading allegation and for each affirmative defense you intend to make in these cases. + +No. 17. Identify all witnesses from whom you have obtained or requested a written, transcribed or recorded statement relating to any issue in these cases, and for each, in addition to the witness's identifying information, state the date of the statement and identify the person taking the statement. + +(Emphasis added). + +Defendant will address interrogatories nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, above, as the analysis as to the application of the constitutional privileges and protections is straightforward. Nos. 3 through 6 ask Defendant to identify anyone who gave "massages" or were asked to give "massages" to him. Clearly, any answer to these interrogatories, involve compelled statements that would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the Defendant in future criminal proceedings or even support a criminal conviction. These interrogatories seek the precise information that the USAO investigated and continues to scrutinize. See Exhibit A hereto. + +Any answer to no. 15, which seeks information "relating to alleged sexual abuse or misconduct on a minor," on its face would also lead to incriminating evidence protected under the Fifth Amendment privilege. The same is true for no. 16 — which seeks "facts upon which you intend to rely for each denial of a pleading allegation and for each affirmative defense," and Nos. 13, 14, and 17 which seek to compel EPSTEIN to list any persons or witnesses in 13 "having any knowledge concerning any of the issues in this lawsuit," in 14 having "knowledge about, possession, or custody, or control of, any model, plat, map, drawing, motion picture, videotape or photograph pertaining to any fact or issue involved in this controversy," and in 17 "whom you have obtained or requested a written, transcribed or recorded statement relating to any issue in these cases." In answering no. 16, Defendant would be compelled to testify as to his version + +of the facts, and, in asserting affirmative defenses, he would further be compelled to admit Plaintiffs version of the facts. In listing such person or witness, the Defendant is further compelled to describe the subject matter, nature of the items and or statements of such witness or person. Again, the allegations of this action are such that in answering these interrogatories, Defendant is being compelled to incriminate himself in crimes. By answering the specified interrogatories Defendant is being compelled to testify as to the issues and facts not only asserted in Plaintiffs complaint, but also to facts which present a real and substantial danger of self-incrimination. Again, the information sought all relate to claims of sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor. (See Chapter 110 of Title 18, United States Code Annotated; and "predicate acts" specified in 18 U.S.C. §2255, and 18 U.S.C. §2422). + +Any answer to nos. 1 and 2 would also be compelled testimony that "tends to show that the witness himself (EPSTEIN) committed a crime" based on the nature of the allegations. As noted above, Plaintiff alleges that at least one of EPSTEIN's employees, was part of the scheme or plan of sexual misconduct, exploitation and abuse of the "girls." No. 1 is asking for any employee who performed work or services, and no. 2 is asking EPSTEIN to testify as to anyone who came to his Palm Beach mansion. Such compelled testimony is protected under the Fifth Amendment as the answers "would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a crime." Answering the questions as to who came and went from his Palm Beach mansion would provide a "'lead or clue' to evidence having a tendency to incriminate." See also 18 U.S.C. 2422, Coercion and Enticement. This analysis also applies to interrogatory nos. 7 and 9 which seek, respectively, "all the time + +periods during which Jeffrey Epstein was present in the State of Florida, including for each the date he arrive and the date he departed," and "all persons who provide transportation services to Jeffrey Epstein, whether as employees or independent contractors, including without limitation, chauffeurs and aircraft crew." Plaintiff alleges a time period of 2004-05 as to when the alleged to when the sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, of a minor took place in Palm Beach, Florida. Plaintiff also alleges that EPSTEIN engaged in the same "scheme and plan" against minor girls at his other places of residence. Again, EPSTEIN's answer as to his travels to and from Florida, and within Florida, would be a link in the chain of evidence needed to convict him of a crime. + +The privilege against self-incrimination also applies to Nos. 11 and 12 which seek, respectively, "all telephone numbers used by Epstein, including cellular phones and land lines in any of his residences, by stating the complete telephone number and the name of the service provider," and "all telephone numbers of employees of Epstein, used in the course or scope of their employment, including cellular phones and land lines in any of his residences, by stating the complete telephone number and the name of the service provider." Again, such compelled testimony would self-incriminate EPSTEIN based on the elements required to establish a violation of the criminal statute 18 U.S.C. §2422. Such information would be a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute EPSTEIN for a crime. + +Finally, the compelled testimony sought in no. 8 - "all of Jeffrey Epstein health care providers in the past (10) ten years, including without limitation, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors, physicians, hospitals and treatment facilities," + +could also lead to a link in the chain of evidence to convict EPSTEIN based on the allegations which are criminal in nature — sexual misconduct with minors, and a plan and scheme to "recruit" such minors to fulfill Epstein's "sexual preference and obsession." See ¶8 of complaint — "Upon information and belief Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls." + +As explained in Hoffman EPSTEIN is not required to "prove the hazard in the sense in which a claim is usually required to be established in court." The United States Supreme Court recognized placing such a requirement on a person asserting his constitutional privilege is in effect tantamount compelling him "to surrender the very protection which the privilege is designed to guarantee." Under the facts and circumstances of this case, it is evident from the implications of each of the interrogatories or an explanation of why they can't be answered "might be dangerous because injurious disclosure might result." Id. + +Accordingly, under applicable law and the facts of this case, Defendant's assertion of the constitutional privilege and guarantee under the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution are required to be upheld. + +# E. Plaintiffs First Production Request To Defendant + +The constitutional protections are equally applicable to the request for production propounded on Defendant by Plaintiff. See Exhibit B to Plaintiffs motion to compel. The requests are as follows - + +Request No. 1. The list provided to you by the U.S. Attorney of individuals whom the U.S. Attorney was prepared to name in an Indictment as victims of an offense by Mr. Epstein enumerated in 18 U.S.C. §2255. + +Request No. 2.

All surveillance videos, slides, film, videotape, digital recording or other audio or video depiction or image of the Palm Beach Residence. + +Request No. 8. All documents referring or relating to Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 2, including without limitation, web pages, social networking site pages, correspondence, videotapes and audiotapes. + +Request No. 9. (Not at issue).2 All statements taken, transcribed or recorded from any person referring or relating to Defendant's sexual conduct, massages given to Defendant or any issue in these cases. + +Request No. 10. All documents referring to or relating to air travel and aircraft used by Defendant, including without limitation, flight logs and flight manifests. + +Request No. 11. Any and all documents referring to or relating to modeling agencies, including but not limited to documents relating to or reflecting communications with female models. + +Request No. 12. (Not at Issue).

(Not at Issue.) All photographs and painting of females which were displayed in any of Defendants homes or residences in the time frame of these requests, including without limitation, photographs in standing or sitting frames or wall frames. + +2Plaintiff concedes that the act of producing items in response to request no. 9, conceming witness statements, and requests nos. 12-13, concerning photographs or images of females, may implicate the Fifth Amendment." Plaintiffs motion, p. 5, fn. 6. + +Request No. 14. Any and all documents consisting of, referring or relating to communications between Jeffrey Epstein and , including, but not limited to, letters, notes, text messages, messages on social networking sites, and e-mails. + +Request No. 15.

Any and all documents and photographs placed by Defendant at any time in the period of these requests on a social networking website, including without limitation, Facebook.com and MySpace.com. + +Request No. 19. Any and all documents reflecting or consisting of communications between Jeffrey Epstein and MC2 Models or Jean-Luc Brunel, relating or referring to females coming into the United States from other countries to pursue a career in modeling, including, but not limited to, letters, notes and e-mails. + +Request No. 20. Any and all documents referring or relating to gifts or loans to females under the age of 21, including, but not limited to, notes, receipts and car rental agreements. + +Request No. 21. Any and all personal calendars or schedules of or for Jeffrey Epstein from January 1, 2003 to the present. + +Request No. 22. All documents written by Jeffrey Epstein consisting of personal thoughts, feelings or descriptions of events, incidents or occurrences in Defendant's life, including without limitation, any diaries of Jeffrey Epstein. + +Request No. 23. All documents referring to or relating to Jeffrey Epstein's purchase or consumption of prescription medicine. + +As discussed in the supporting memorandum law herein, it is well settled that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination also encompasses situations as here where the act of production itself involves a testimonial compulsion. Hubbell supra. In responding to each request, EPSTEIN would be compelled admit that such documents existed, admit that the documents were in his possession or control, and were authentic. In other words, the very act of production of the category of documents + +requested would implicitly communicate "statements of fact." Hubbell supra. Hoffman, supra. The act of production might not only provide evidence to support a conviction, but also a link in the chain of evidence for prosecution. Such compulsion to produce is the same as being compelled to testify. The acts of EPSTEIN in being required to produce the requested documents imply assertions of fact — admitting the documents exist, admitting the documents are in his possession or control, and admitting the documents are authentic. Again, in reading each of the production requests in Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23, (like the interrogatories), it is clear that the very act of production of such documents could implicate EPSTEIN in a crime. + +As noted above, EPSTEIN is constitutionally entitled to follow the advice of counsel in asserting the applicable Fifth Amendment privilege under the guarantee of effective assistance of counsel. Accordingly, based on the facts and circumstances of this case, and under applicable law, Defendant's assertion of the protections afforded under the 5th, 61h, and 14'h Amendments of the United States Constitution are required to be upheld. + +#### ii. Defendant's obiections made in addition to the constitutional based protections are required to be upheld. + +## A. Constitutional issues are required to be addressed first. + +Obviously, the constitutional issues raised in Defendant's response permeate not only discovery, but the entire action itself. Defendant would suggest to the Court that the constitutional issues be decided before the additional objections are addressed. 3 In fact, in arguing certain of the additional objections, Defendant's constitutional rights + +3 Should this Court overrule Defendant's constitutional based privileges and guarantees, Defendant will likely take an immediate appeal of such ruling. + +under the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments are clearly implicated. In setting forth factual reasons to support the additional objections, Defendant is being compelled to testify in response to a specific discovery request, thus, impeding his privilege against selfincrimination and guarantee of effective assistance of counsel. The same is true if Defendant is required to prepare privilege logs. (In section IV of her motion, Plaintiff recognized, in addressing Defendant's assertion that an adverse inference would be improper, that "It is first necessary to determine whether the Fifth Amendment privilege is validly asserted in response to particular questions."). Thus, Defendant also requests that should this Court rule that the Fifth Amendment does not apply to certain of the discovery requests, that Defendant be given an additional 20 days from the date of the order thereon in which to assert other objections and privileges. + +In alternative and addition to the applicable constitutional based protections, Defendant also raised objections to each of the interrogatories and requests for production. (See sections V, VI, and VII, pp. 7-12, of Plaintiff's motion to compel). Defendant will address Plaintiffs arguments pertaining to the additional objections in the order presented in Plaintiff's motion. + +## B. Interrogatory No. 8, Production Request No. 23 + +Section V. A. of plaintiffs motion pertains to interrogatory no. 8 - + +Identify all of Jeffrey Epstein health care providers in the past (10) ten years, including without limitation, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors, physicians, hospitals and treatment facilities. + +In addition to the constitutional protections, Defendant also stated — + +... In addition to and without waiving his constitutional privileges, Defendant also objects as the interrogatory is overbroad and seeks information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear reasonably calculated to lead to + +> the discovery of admissible evidence. In addition, such information is privileged pursuant to Rule 501, Fed. Evid., and §90.503, Fla.Evid. Code. In addition, such information is protected by the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). + +Federal Rule of Evidence 401 provides that - "'Relevant evidence" means evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence." Pursuant to Rule 26(b)(1), the scope of discovery is as follows — + +Unless otherwise limited by court order, the scope of discovery is as follows: Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense--including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons who know of any discoverable matter. For good cause, the court may order discovery of any matter relevant to the subject matter involved in the action. Relevant information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. All discovery is subject to the limitations imposed by Rule 26(b)(2)(C). + +Plaintiffs complaint alleges a time period of 2004-05 as to when the alleged sexual misconduct of Defendant occurred. Plaintiffs request seeks to have EPSTEIN list "all health care providers" and "hospitals and treatment facilities" over a "ten year period." On its face, the interrogatory is overbroad as it seeks information over a 10 year period that is neither relevant nor does it "appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." EPSTEIN's physical health is not in issue in this matter. Whether or not he was treated for the flu over the past ten years is not relevant to any party's claim or defense in this matter. The same is true for whether or not Defendant received treatment for a physical ailment at a hospital or facility over a 10 year period. Plaintiff fails to tailor her question such that it can be determined what type of information she is seeking regarding "health care providers" and "hospitals and treatment facilities." The 10 year period is overbroad as it seeks information approximately 5 years prior to and four years after the alleged incident. + +As to "psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors," and the "hospitals and treatment facilities" where Defendant may or may not have received treatment from such professionals, such information would be protected under Fed. Evid. Rule 501 and §90.503, Fla.R.Evid. Rule 501 provides — + +Except as otherwise required by the Constitution of the United States or provided by Act of Congress or in rules prescribed by the Supreme Court pursuant to statutory authority, the privilege of a witness, person, government, State, or political subdivision thereof shall be governed by the principles of the common law as they may be interpreted by the courts of the United States in the light of reason and experience. However, in civil actions and proceedings, with respect to an element of a claim or defense as to which State law supplies the rule of decision, the privilege of a witness, person, government, State, or political subdivision thereof shall be determined in accordance with State law. + +(Emphasis added). + +Plaintiff alleges diversity jurisdiction, and thus, state law of Florida controls application of the privilege. 2ntl Am. Complaint, ¶5. The elements of Plaintiffs alleged claims in Counts I - Sexual Battery and Counts II — Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress are also controlled by state law. Erie R.Co. v. Tompkins, 58 S.Ct. 817 (1938). Accordingly, the privileges recognized under state law apply to this action under Rule 501. See, for example, 1550 Brickell Associates v. Q.B.E. Ins. Co. 253 F.R.D. 697, 699 (S.D. Fla. 2008)("Attorney-client privilege is governed by state law in diversity actions."). + +§90.503(2), Fla. Stat., provides — + +(2) A patient has a privilege to refuse to disclose, and to prevent any other person from disclosing, confidential communications or records made for the purpose of diagnosis or treatment of the patient's mental or emotional condition, including alcoholism and other drug addiction, between the patient and the psychotherapist, or persons who are participating in the diagnosis or treatment under the direction of the psychotherapist. This privilege includes any diagnosis made, and advice given, by the psychotherapist in the course of that relationship. + +As summarized in C.L. v. Judd, 993 So.2d 991, 995 (2d DCA Fla. 2007): + +> Under the psychotherapist-patient privilege, a patient has a privilege to refuse to disclose confidential information or records made for the purpose of diagnosis or treatment of mental conditions, including any diagnoses made by the psychotherapist. § 90.503(2), Fla. Stat. (2005); see Pauker v. Olson, 834 So.2d 198, 200 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002). The psychotherapist-patient privilege does not apply: (1) during involuntary commitment proceedings, (2) when there is a court-ordered mental examination, or (3) when the patient raises and relies on the issue of his or her mental condition in litigation as part of any claim or defense. § 90.503(4); Roberson, 884 So.2d at 980; State v. Famiglietti, 817 So.2d 901, 903 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002). The privilege does not allow the invasion of a patient's privileged communications with his or her psychotherapist. Roberson, 884 So.2d at 979. + +None of the three situations listed as exceptions to the privilege above exist in the present case to make the privilege inapplicable. + +Plaintiff's position is that the protection afforded under §90.503, Fla. Stat., does not apply "in a case of child abuse under Florida Statute §39.204." See endnote 2 for full text of §39.204, Fla. Stat.2 (¶'s Motion, p. 8-9). See Carson v. 466 So.2d 1188, 1192 (Fla. 41h DCA 1985); and Doherty v. John Doe No. 22, 957 So.2d 1267 (411 DCA 2007). A reading of these cases establishes that §39.204 does not provide Plaintiff with a carte blanche access to Defendant's medical history. The Court is required to hold an in camera inspection to determine if the information sought by Plaintiff relates to "communications involving known or expected child abuse." Id. + +As stated above, on its face the interrogatory is overbroad and encompasses information that has no relevance to the claims or defenses nor is it reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Compelling Defendant to identify each and every health care provider, including psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors, and hospital or treatment facility over the past ten year period, is not proper at this time. Plaintiff should be required to limit the information + +sought, as well as the time period, in her interrogatory, thus allowing the Defendant and Court to determine whether such information is relevant and discoverable. + +As to Defendant's HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) objection, as noted in the case cited in Plaintiffs motion, v. Woodford, 2007 WL 309485 (E.D. Cal. 2007), (p. 9), HIPPA institutes procedural safeguards to protect the privacy of an individual's medical information and history. In the context of HIPAA, Courts have recognized three methods of health care discovery (assuming it's relevant) in civil litigation: (1) Obtaining a patient authorization that complies with the requirements and criteria, tailored to the specific case, of HIPAA as set forth in 45 C.F.R. §164.508; (2) Court Order, which also complies with the requirements of HIPAA ensuring that the privacy and confidentiality of the information is protected; and (3) Subpoena or discovery request, which again comply with the strictures of HIPAA, including that the person whose records are being sought has been given proper notice. See Handbook of Federal Civil Discovery And Disclosure (2d Edition), Chap. 18, Sect. A - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), §18.3 — Discovery of health care information in civil litigation; and Graham v. Dacheikh 991 So.2d 932, at fn. 3 (2d DCA Fla. 2008)("Even under HIPAA, ..., if the records are produced during normal discovery they are typically produced in a manner that restricts the persons who may access the documents and requires their return at the end of the litigation. See 45 C.F.R. §164.512(e)."). + +In production request no. 23, Plaintiff seeks — "All documents referring to or relating to Jeffrey Epstein's purchase or consumption of prescription medicine." On its face, this production request is over broad and seeks non-relevant information. For example, + +whether or not EPSTEIN takes prescription medicine for (purely as an example and for argument) blood pressure or cholesterol control has absolutely no relevance to this action. + +Accordingly, EPSTEIN's objections to interrogatory no. 8 and production request no. 23 are required to be upheld. Plaintiff is not entitled to carte blanche discovery of Defendant's medical information. + +# C. Overbroad. relevance obiections to discovery. + +As to Plaintiffs argument regarding Defendant's objections based on relevancy and the over-breadth of Plaintiffs discovery requests, (Part VI. A, pp. 10-11, of ¶'s Motion To Compel), in her motion Plaintiff represents that she is seeking the discovery for a time period beginning January 1, 2003 to the present. As to interrogatory nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12, Defendant disagrees that time period proposed by Plaintiff is reasonable. Plaintiffs complaint alleges that the conduct involving her took place in 2004-05. The scope and breadth of these interrogatories evidences that information sought has absolutely no relevance and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The same is true for production request nos. 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 18, 20, 21, 22, and 23. As discussed more fully below, the length of the time period, along with the scope and breadth of the information and items sought, makes such requests improper under the rules governing discovery. + +Without waiving any of the other alternative and additional objections asserted, Defendant does not disagree with the time period of January 1, 2003 to present as to interrogatory nos. 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17; and production request nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Defendant addresses the additional alternative objections below. + +Plaintiffs motion to compel fails to address each of the discovery requests on an individual basis with respect to the objections asserted. A reading of each of the discovery requests, set forth above herein, establishes that each of the interrogatories and production requests is overbroad on its face and, thus, seeks non-relevant information. All of the interrogatories and production requests are phrased such that they encompass "all persons," "all Employees," "all telephone numbers," "all documents," "any and all," and so on. Contrary to Plaintiffs assertion, the definition of "employee" is on its face over broad and encompasses non-relevant information. (pp. 11-12 of Plaintiffs motion). Plaintiff should be required to restrict the information that is sought to the issues relevant to this action and the claims asserted by her and defenses to those claims. + +# D. Work Product; Attorney Client Privilege + +Plaintiff asserts that Defendant failed to provide a privilege log in asserting his objections based on attorney-client and work product privileges to interrogatories nos. 13, 14, and 17, and production requests nos. 4 - 8 and 10 - 23. First, a reading of the particular discovery requests reveals that the encompass attorney-client and work product privileged material. Secondly, as set forth above herein, in being compelled to create a privileged log is in essence compelled testimony to which Defendant's constitutional protections would apply. Again, as stated previously, it makes judicial sense to decide the constitutional issues first, before deciding the additional objections to the discovery requests. + +## E. Rules 408 and 410. Fed. Evid. Code; 490.410, Fla. Stat - Production requests nos. 1 — 5. + +Production requests nos. 1 — 5 set forth above herein, all pertain to the negotiation and eventual entering into of a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Southern District of Florida. See part I above herein. Again, the constitutional issues raised in Defendant's response permeate these discovery requests. The full text of Federal Evidence Rules 408 and 410, and Florida Statute §90.410, are set forth in endnote 3.3 Under the protections afforded by these evidentiary rules such documents are not subject to discovery. + +# F. Third Party Privacy Rights + +In production requests nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22, Defendant has raised the additional objection that the privacy rights of third parties are implicated. See specified requests. As noted by the United States Supreme Court in Eisenstadt v. Baird, 405 U.S. 438, 454, 92 S.Ct. 1029, 1038, at fn. 10 (1972): + +In Stanley, 394 U.S., at 564, 89 S.Ct., at 1247, the Court stated:I(A)Iso fundamental is the right to be free, except in very limited circumstances, from unwanted governmental intrusions into one's privacy." The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness. They recognized the significance of man's spiritual nature, of his feelings and of his intellect. They knew that only a part of the pain, pleasure and satisfactions of life are to be found in material things. They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions, and their sensations. They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone-the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized man.' [Citations omitted]. + +The fundamental right of privacy is not only guaranteed under by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, but also under the Constitution of the State of Florida, Art. I, Sect. 23. As summarized by the Florida Supreme Court in Shaktman v. State 553 So.2d 148, 150-51 (Fla. 1989): + +The right of privacy, assured to Florida's citizens, demands that individuals be free from uninvited observation of or interference in those aspects of their lives which fall within the ambit of this zone of privacy unless the intrusion is + +> warranted by the necessity of a compelling state interest. In an opinion which predated the adoption of section 23, the First District aptly characterized the nature of this right. + +A fundamental aspect of personhood's integrity is the power to control what we shall reveal about our intimate selves, to whom, and for what purpose. + +Bryon, Harless, Schaffer, Reid & Assocs., Inc. v. State ex rel, Schellenberg, 360 So.2d 83, 92 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978), quashed and remanded on other grounds, 379 So.2d 633 (Fla.1980). Because this power is exercised in varying degrees by differing individuals, the parameters of an individual's privacy can be dictated only by that individual. The central concern is the inviolability of one's own thought, person, and personal action. The inviolability of that right assures its preeminence over "majoritarian sentiment" and thus cannot be universally defined by consensus. + +(Emphasis added). + +Clearly, the nature of the questions and production requests identified would require EPSTEIN to identify third parties and necessarily thwart such individuals' rights to assert their constitutional right of privacy as guaranteed under the United States and Florida Constitutions. See generally Eisenstadt v. Baird, supra at 454-455 (The right encompasses privacy in one's sexual matters and is not limited to the marital relationship.). + +# Ill. Conclusion + +Under applicable law and the facts and circumstances of this case, Defendant's assertions of his constitutional privileges and guarantees are required to be upheld. To rule otherwise would render EPSTEIN's constitutional protections meaningless. Also, the constitution issues so permeate this action that this Court should first decide those issues before deciding the merits of any additional objections raised by EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN is between the proverbial "rock and a hard place" in asserting is constitutional guarantees and then being compelled to make factual arguments regarding the + +application of his additional objections. EPSTEIN's additional objections as discussed herein are also required to be upheld. + +WHEREFORE Defendant requests that this Court deny Plaintiff's motion to compel and uphold EPSTEIN's assertion of his constitutional protections and, in the alternative or in addition to, uphold his additional objections to Plaintiff's discovery requests. + +![]()**Certificate of Service** + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

I, Jack A. Goldberger, have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida since 1978. I am a partner with the law firm of Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss, P.A., located at One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400, 250 Australian Avenue South, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. + +2. My practice includes and specializes in the defense of criminal matters. I am board certified in criminal law. I have been and currently am the criminal defense attorney for JEFFREY EPSTEIN. + +3. I represented Mr. EPSTEIN in the negotiation of and entering into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the Non-Prosecution Agreement also entailed the entering of a Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. (The Non-Prosecution Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "NPA"). + +4. By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. Also, pursuant to the terms of the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN. + +EXHIBIT + +5. The criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010 and as long as the USAO determines EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by USAO in the Southern District of Florida continues presently and through late 2010. + +6. Pursuant to the terms of the NPA, the USAO possesses the right to declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice, and attempt to move forward with a prosecution. As of the date of this Affidavit, the USAO has taken the position on a number of occasions that it might consider the following actions by EPSTEIN to be a breach of the NPA. + +- Investigation by EPSTEIN (by and through his attorneys) of this Plaintiff and the other Plaintiffs in other pending civil cases for purposes of defending the civil actions; +- EPSTEIN's contesting damages in this action and other civil actions. +- EPSTEIN or his legal representatives making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or the other Plaintiffs. +- Using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. + +7. EPSTEIN, through counsel, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for documents relating to this and the other cases; the FBI denied the request stating the materials are at this time exempt from disclosure because they are in an investigative file, i.e. the matter is still an ongoing criminal investigation. + +8.

+Plaintiff, + +v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +#### Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's Motion To Stay And Or Continue Action For Time Certain Based On Parallel Civil And Criminal Proceedings With Incorporated Memorandum Of Law + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, (hereinafter "EPSTEIN") by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby moves this Court for the entry of an order staying or continuing this action for a time certain (i.e., until late 2010 when the NPA expires), pursuant to the application of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the fact that a parallel proceeding is ongoing and being investigated. In support of his motion, EPSTEIN states: + +### I. Introduction + +At the outset, EPSTEIN notes this Court's prior Order (DE 29), in which this Court denied a motion for stay brought by Defendant's prior counsel. In that instance, Defendant's counsel requested a mandatory stay under 18 U.S.C.A. §3509(k) which the court denied. In denying the request for the stay, this Court stated that a discretionary stay was not appropriate at the time the order was entered but also stated, in part, that "Any such issues shall be resolved as they arise in the course of litigation." As discussed herein, "special circumstances" now exist + +which, in the "interests of justice," merit the entry of a stay of this civil action until the criminal matter in the I5'h Judicial Circuit is "closed" in accordance with the United States Attorney's Office ("USAO") Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") and until the NPA expires. + +Moreover, EPSTEIN was indicted by a grand jury in or around July 2006. See Exhibit "A". The Non-Prosecution Agreement is part of the record in connection with that indictment, which is signed by the State Attorney of the 15'h Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida ("SAO"). In fact, the NPA acknowledges the investigation performed by the SAO. Further, the USAO was present at the Plea hearing whereby the NPA was made part of the record. Thus, there is no question that a parallel criminal matter exists in that the SAO's case remains open and the NPA lives along side it, which places EPSTEIN under great scrutiny by the USAO. The NPA actually places an affirmative duty upon EPSTEIN to undertake discussions with the SAO to ensure compliance with the NPA. That check and balance, therefore, remains in the hands of the SAO, which has a parallel criminal proceeding. Here, the threat of prosecution is real, substantial, and present should the USAO determine that EPSTEIN somehow violated the NPA. As discussed below, because the NPA fails to define what constitutes a breach, the USAO has apparently taken it upon itself to determine whether a breach has occurred and whether to seek criminal prosecution. In fact, the USAO has already attempted to claim violations of the NPA due to, among other things, EPSTEIN defending the civil actions against him. Clearly, it is NOT simply EPSTEIN's choice as to whether he violates the NPA — that discretion apparently lies with the USAO. For this reason alone, a stay is required until the NPA expires. + +The difference between this Motion and the prior motion to stay is solely due to the ripeness of the issues discussed herein. + +# II. THE NPA + +By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008 and expires by those same terms in late 2010 so long as EPSTEIN complies with the terms and conditions — violations of which remain undefined. The NPA, which remains under seal, outlines various obligations on the part of EPSTEIN including, but not limited to, pleading guilty to the Indictment and Information before the 15th Judicial Circuit, recommendations for his sentencing before the 15th Judicial Circuit, waiver of challenges to the Information filed by the SAO, waiver of right to appeal his conviction, agreement not be afforded benefits for gain time, and the agreement to not prosecute others listed thereon so long as EPSTEIN does not breach and fulfills the requirements of the NPA. + +What the NPA does not outline or define is what constitutes a breach or what act or omission constitutes a breach thereof. Therefore, the USAO apparently believes it has the discretion to make that unwritten and undefined determination, which places an unreasonable burden upon EPSTEIN in defending the civil claims in that he has no idea what the USAO will define as a breach in the event he does not assert his 5i° Amendment Rights. As an example, the USAO has already claimed that EPSTEIN violated the NPA by: + +- 1. investigating the Plaintiffs (by and though his attorneys) whom brought civil suits against him for purposes of defending those civil actions; + - 2. contesting damages in this action and in the other civil actions; +- 3. making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or other Plaintiffs by and though his attorneys; and + +office. 4. using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with SA's + +See Exhibit "B" Goldberger Affidavit - EPSTEIN's criminal counsel. + +These allegations are silly, unfounded and alleged violations which are not defined as violations under the NPA but arrived at by the USAO. Thus, EPSTEIN is left with "Morton's Fork" in his side - the undesirable choice of taking the 5th Amendment and having a judgment (summary or otherwise) entered against him in the civil action or the undesirable choice of subjecting himself to discovery in the civil action before the NPA expires and, thus, face the possibility of criminal prosecution by the USAO based upon some illusory breach deemed by the USAO by way of information obtained through civil discovery proceedings. This is inherently unfair, the danger is clear, and the playing field is not level in light of the NPA language or lack thereof. + +As a result, the threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010. + +### Ill. Justice Requires The Entry of A Stay Because Defendant Is Being Forced To Choose Between Waiving His Sth Amendment Privilege Or Risk Losing This Civil Case And Forfeiting Other Constitutional Guarantees Of Due Process And Effective Assistance Of Counsel + +Once the NPA expires, EPSTEIN fully intends to testify to all relevant and nonobjectionable inquiries made to him in discovery be it a deposition, in interrogatories or in production requests. (Emphasis Added) However, the current circumstances are such that by testifying or responding to discovery, EPSTEIN will be required to waive his constitutional privileges, thereby subjecting himself to criminal prosecution and scrutiny by the USA() as a + +result of matters alleged in this civil action (and others before this Court and in the State of Florida 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County). + +The special circumstances of this action are such that a stay or continuance for a time certain is NOT prejudicial and is required to be entered so that: + +(1) EPSTEIN is not required to waive his Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination under the United States Constitution resulting in severe prejudice to EPSTEIN in pending criminal matters; and + +(2) EPSTEIN is not forced to choose between waiving his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination or losing the civil case. + +Here, in asserting his Fifth Amendment Privilege, the Plaintiff is afforded an opportunity rarely given - that is, to put on only her evidence without any counterevidence from Defendant resulting in a judgment of liability against EPSTEIN. This is inherently unfair and precisely the special circumstances where "in the interests of justice" a stay is required. Ventura v. Broskv, 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), citing, United States v. Lot 5, Fox Grove, 23 F.3d 359 ( I 11h Cir. 1994). In Ventura, a stay was entered where a Defendant was confronted with issue of waiving his 5th Amendment Privilege or to loose a civil case by way of motion for summary judgment. Id. Here, EPSTEIN is not requesting a mandatory stay. EPSTEIN only asks that this court recognize that "special circumstances" exists in this matter and enter a stay in the "interests of justice" and only for a specified period of time (i.e., after the NPA expires). See also Securities and Exchange Commission. 755 F.Supp. 1018, 1019 (S.D. Fla. 1990)(Defendant was in precarious position while being subject to criminal investigation and reasoning that compelling Defendant to speak by ordering an accounting of alleged illicit funds would directly + +impinge his right against self-incrimination). The court found it appropriate to grant the request for stay. (Emphasis Added). + +Citing to U.S. v. Lot 5, Fox Grove, supra, the Southern District Court, Florida, in Ventura v. Brosky 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), stated — + +The Eleventh Circuit has also created a test for these circumstances, stating that where there exists a concurrent civil and criminal proceeding, a court must stay a civil proceeding pending resolution of a related criminal prosecution when "special circumstances" so require in the "interests of justice." + +(Bold emphasis added). See also United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. 1, 12 & n. 27, 90 S.Ct. 763, 769-70 & n.27 (1970). The Ventura Court went on to state that "situations where a defendant in both criminal and civil proceedings must choose whether to waive his privilege against selfincrimination or to lose the civil case in summary or default judgment proceedings have met this test's burden and warrant a stay." Id. The Ventura court granted the stay. Here, the 15th Judicial Circuit action lives along with the NPA. + +In making a decision to enter such a stay, the court may consider the following factors: + +- (1) the interests of the Plaintiffs in proceeding expeditiously with litigation, or any aspect of it, and the potential prejudice of Plaintiff to the delay; +- (2) the burden which any particular aspect of the proceedings may impose on the defendant; +- (3) the convenience of the court in the management of its cases, and the efficient use of judicial resources; + - (4) the interests of persons not parties to the civil litigation; and + - (5) the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal litigation. + +See U.S. v. Pinnacle Quest International, 2008 WL 4274498 (N.D. Fla. 2008). + +First, in applying the above factors, the Plaintiff in the instant matter will not be prejudiced simply by claiming a delay in time. Second, the burden is far greater on EPSTEIN if he is forced to waive his 5'h Amendment Privilege or remain silent and have a judgment entered against him or choose to testify and face criminal prosecution. Third, efficient use of judicial resources would be rendered upon a stay by way of preventing an appeal if such a stay is not entered. The Court has broad discretion to enter such a stay. Fourth, the interests of the individuals outlined in the NPA will be served because EPSTEIN's fulfillment of NPA alleged obligations is determinative upon whether the USAO prosecutes those individuals or whether the claims will be dropped upon the expiration of the NPA. Finally, the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal cases will not be prejudiced as EPSTEIN is already serving his term whereby a plea was entered in the 15 Judicial Circuit action. + +# a. Application of the 5th Amendment + +Next, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price 778 F.2d 668, 669 (11th Cir. 1985), can Lefkowitz v. Turley 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). See also Ohio v. Reiner 532 U.S. 17, 21, 121 S.Ct. 1252 (2001)(The Fifth Amendment privilege is also available to those who claim innocence. One of the Fifth Amendment's "basic functions ... is to protect innocent men ... 'who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances."); Malloy v. Hogan, 84 S.Ct. 1489, 1495 (1964)(the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause applies to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "[i]t would be incongruous to have different standards + +determine the validity of a claim of privilege based on the same feared prosecution, depending on whether the claim was asserted in state or federal court."); Kastigar v. U.S. 406 U.S. 441, 444-45, 92 S.Ct. 1653 (1972)(The Fifth Amendment privilege "can be asserted in any proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used. This Court has been zealous to safeguard the values which underlie the privilege." (Emphasis added)). + +The United States Supreme Court made it clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege includes the circumstances as here "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391 (1976); McCormick on Evidence, Title 6, Chap. 13. The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, §138 (6th Ed.). The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company v. Conbov 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). + +Certainly, if the USAO decides to prosecute EPSTEIN for an alleged violation of the NPA, it would undoubtedly be able to use information obtained during discovery against him or use that information to aid in the development of other evidence against him at a criminal trial. + +The USAO is already claiming violations of the NPA based upon EPSTEIN defending the civil actions and, at the same time, while EPSTEIN asserts the 5'h Amendment. Imagine, because that is all we can do based on the lack of wording in the NPA, what violations the USAO will assert if EPSTEIN is forced to waive his 5'h Amendment privilege to defend himself in this and the other civil actions. + +The Fifth Amendment provides, in relevant part, that "No person ... shall be compelled in any Criminal Case to be a witness against himself." Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814 (1951), v. United States, 1944, 322 U.S. 487, 489, 64 S.Ct. 1082, 1083, 88 L.Ed. 1408." The Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination is "accorded liberal construction in favor of the right it was intended to secure." "The immediate and potential evils of compulsory self-disclosure transcend any difficulties that the exercise of the privilege may impose on society in the detection and prosecution of a crime." Id., at 490; and In re= Financial Svcs. of Fla., Inc., 259 B.R. 391, 399 (M.D. Fla. 2000). The privilege not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a crime. Id, cirin Blau v. United States, 1950, 340 U.S. 159, 71 S.Ct. 223. The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d at 669, citing Lefkowitz v. Turley 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). As EPSTEIN is here, "the claimant must be `confronted by substantial and `real,' and not merely trifling or imaginary, hazards of incrimination."' See generally United States v. Apfelbaum, 445 + +U.S. 115, 128, 100 S.Ct. 948, 956, 63 L.Ed.2d 250 (1980)). See also, United States v. Neff, 615 F.2d 1235, 1239 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 447 U.S. 925, 100 S.Ct. 3018, 65 L.Ed.2d 1117 (1980)(Information is protected by the privilege not only if it would support a criminal conviction, but even if “the responses would merely ‘provide a lead or clue’ to evidence having a tendency to incriminate.’”). EPSTEIN falls under each of the above category of cases. + +The United States Supreme Court has made clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege also encompasses the circumstance where “the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect.” United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); see also Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391 (1976). In explaining the application of the privilege, the Supreme Court stated: + +We have held that “the act of production” itself may implicitly communicate “statements of fact.” By “producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic.” Moreover, as was true in this case, when the custodian of documents responds to a subpoena, he may be compelled to take the witness stand and answer questions designed to determine whether he has produced everything demanded by the subpoena. The answers to those questions, as well as the act of production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence, custody, and authenticity of the documents. Whether the constitutional privilege protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is a question that is distinct from the question whether the unprotected contents of the documents themselves are incriminating. + +“The issue presented in those cases was whether the act of producing subpoenaed documents, not itself the making of a statement, might nonetheless have some protected testimonial aspects. The Court concluded that the act of production could constitute protected testimonial communication because it might entail implicit statements of fact: by producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic. United States v. Doe, 465 U.S., at 613, and n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 1237; Fisher, 425 U.S., at 409-410, 96 S.Ct. 1569; *id.*, at 428, 432, 96 S.Ct. 1569 (concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States, [487 U.S.] at 104, 108 S.Ct. 2284; [*id.*] at 122, 108 S.Ct. 2284 (dissenting opinion). Thus, the Court made clear that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies to acts + +that imply assertions of fact."... An examination of the Court's application of these principles in other cases indicates the Court's recognition that, in order to be testimonial, an accused's communication must itself, explicitly or implicitly, relate a factual assertion or disclose information. Only then is a person compelled to be a `witness' against himself." Doe v. United States, 487 U.S., at 209-210. 108 S.Ct. 2341 (footnote omitted). + +Finally, the phrase "in any criminal case" in the text of the Fifth Amendment might have been read to limit its coverage to compelled testimony that is used against the defendant in the trial itself. It has, however, long been settled that its protection encompasses compelled statements that lead to the discovery of incriminating evidence even though the statements themselves are not incriminating and are not introduced into evidence. Thus, a half century ago we held that a trial judge had erroneously rejected a defendant's claim of privilege on the ground that his answer to the pending question would not itself constitute evidence of the charged offense. As we explained: + +"The privilege afforded not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a federal criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a federal crime." Hoffinan v. United States. 341 U.S. 479. 486. 71 S.Ct. 814, 95 Ltd. 1118 (1951). + +Compelled testimony that communicates information that may "lead to incriminating evidence" is privileged even if the information itself is not inculpatory. Doe v. United States. 487 U.S. 201, 208, n. 6. 108 S.Ct. 2341, 101 L.Ed.2d 184 (1988). It's the Fifth Amendment's protection against the prosecutor's use of incriminating information derived directly or indirectly from the compelled testimony of the respondent that is of primary relevance in this case. + +The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id• Pills ury Company + +v. Conbov, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). See also, Hubbell, supra, as to what is encompassed by the phrase "in any criminal case" contained in the Fifth Amendment. + +As noted, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is broad. Hoffman; In re Financial Svcs.,supra. To deny a witness the right to invoke the privilege, the judge must be perfectly clear, from a careful consideration of all the circumstances in the case, that the witness is mistaken, and that the answers cannot possibly have such tendency to incriminate. IA at 488, 399. Recognizing the breadth and magnitude of this constitutional privilege, the United States Supreme Court in discussing how a court is to analyze the application of the privilege stated — + +... It is for the court to say whether his silence is justified, Rogers v. United States 1951, 340 U.S. 367, 71 S.Ct. 438, and to require him to answer if it clearly appears to the court that he is mistaken.' Temple v. Commonwealth, 1880, 75 Va. 892, 899. However, if the witness, upon interposing his claim, were required to prove the hazard in the sense in which a claim is usually required to be established in court, he would be compelled to surrender the very protection which the privilege is designed to guarantee. To sustain the privilege, it need only be evident from the implications of the question, in the setting in which it is asked, that a responsive answer to the question or an explanation of why it cannot be answered might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result. The trial judge in appraising the claim `must be governed as much by his personal perception of the peculiarities of the case as by the facts actually in evidence.' + +Hoffman, supra at 486-487. + +Hoffman and its progeny establish that "in view of the liberal construction of the provision [protecting against self-incrimination], after a witness has asserted the privilege, he should be compelled to provide the requested information only if it "clearly appears" to the court that the witness was mistaken in his invocation of the privilege." (Emphasis added). In Financial Svcs. supra at 399, rge Hoffinan at 486. + +In the instant case, the privilege applies as Defendant EPSTEIN "has reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer." The risk of incrimination resulting from being subject to discovery or to testify in his own defense while the NPA exists is "substantial and real" and "not trifling or imaginary haphazards of communication." See generally In re Financial Svcs., supra at 400. Based on the nature of Plaintiff's claims, along with the ongoing scrutiny of the USAO in the criminal matters, EPSTEIN has "reasonable grounds to believe that his responses to the discovery would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against him. Finally, in order to preserve the privilege, the privilege must be asserted or one risks the loss or waiver of this liberty ensuring protection. See generally, U.S. v. , 846 F.2d 678, 690 ( I 1th Cir. 1988)("First, it ignores the settled principle which requires a witness to assert his Fifth Amendment rights. A witness who testifies at any proceeding, instead of asserting his Fifth Amendment rights, loses the privilege. ... A civil deponent cannot choose to answer questions with the expectation of later asserting the Fifth Amendment."). + +Also applicable in upholding the assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege is the guarantee of effective assistance of counsel by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. See Yarborough v. Gentry 124 S.Ct. 1, 540 U.S. 1, 157 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003)(Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants effective assistance of counsel.), on remand 381 F.3d 1219. The United States Constitutional guarantees are applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Obviously, EPSTEIN's assertion of his constitutional privileges and protections is on the advice of counsel. Again, EPSTEIN continues to face criminal prosecution by the USAO until the expiration of the NPA; under the constitutional guarantee of effective assistance of + +counsel, he is entitled to follow the recommended advice of his criminal defense attorney. See Goldberger Affidavit attached hereto. + +EPSTEIN's invocation of his constitutional protections of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments must be upheld for the reasons set forth herein; otherwise such constitutional protections would be rendered meaningless. Already and recently, Defendant EPSTEIN in his Response and Objections to discovery, attached hereto as Exhibit "C", has been required to assert, on advice of counsel, his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, along with his constitutional rights afforded under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Thus, EPSTEIN's entitlement to a stay is ripe for determination. + +Based upon the foregoing, a stay is warranted in this action as the Defendant is being forced to choose between the assertion of his Fifth Amendment right or losing this case by judgment (summary or otherwise) or waiver of his 5fl Amendment right and face potential criminal prosecution. + +By: ROB ,i/ R Ta CRI ON, ., ESQ. + +## Certificate of Service + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

Introduction + +This is one of six (6) related cases in this Court against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein, each alleging that the Defendant sexually assaulted the Plaintiff in that case when she was a minor. This Motion is prompted by the Defendant's efforts to take the deposition of Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 3 as a witness in the related case, Jane Doe No. 2 v. Epstein, case no. 08-CV-80119-Marra. Defendant, however, does not at this time seek to take Jane Doe No. 3's deposition in her own case. The Defendant apparently intends to take Jane Doe No. 3's deposition at least twice, and as discussed below, most likely three times. + +Plaintiff Jane Doe No. 3 alleges that she is a victim of sexual assault by Defendant Epstein. To compel her to sit for deposition by Epstein's attorney more than once would be unduly + +traumatizing, burdensome, annoying, harassing and, most importantly, unnecessary. There is no conceivable good faith basis for Defendant's attorney to require that Jane Doe No. 3's deposition to be taken more than once. + +Accordingly, Jane Doe No. 3 seeks a protective order limiting Defendant's counsel to a single deposition of Jane Doe No. 3, encompassing her claims as a party in her own case and as a witness in any other case pending in this Court against Defendant Epstein alleging sexual misconduct. As a corollary to this relief, Plaintiff moves for consolidation of the six (6) related cases for purposes of pretrial discovery pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 42(a). + +# H. Background and Relevant Facts + +The cases Jane Doe No. 2 v. Epstein, case no. 08-CV-80119-Marra, Jane Doe No. 3 v. Epstein, case no. 08-CV-80232- Marra, Jane Doe No. 4 v. Epstein 08-CV-80380- MARLS Jane Doe No. 5 v. Epstein case no. 08-CV-80387- Marra, Jane Doe No. 6 v. Epstein, case no. -CV-80994- Marra and Jane Doe No. 7 v. Epstein, case no. 08- 80993-C1V- Marra,\_, are related cases in this Court.' These cases have been treated jointly for purposes of pretrial scheduling and deadlines. The Court entered a single Order Setting Trial and Discovery Deadlines et al., dated September 29, 2008, in the four cases, Jane Does 2-5 v. Epstein (DE 40). The Jane Doe No. 6 and Jane Doe No. 7 cases, which were filed later, were likewise treated jointly and a single Order Setting Trial Date and Discovery Deadlines et al. entered for those cases dated December 18, 2008. + +' In all of the cases Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 v. Epstein the Plaintiffs are represented by the same counsel. There are other similar cases pending in this Court and in state court against Defendant Epstein in which the plaintiffs are represented by different counsel. + +On September 25, 2008, the parties filed a single Joint Scheduling and Discovery Report in the four cases, Jane Doe Nos. 2-5. (DE 39). In this Report, the Plaintiff takes the position that it would be in the interests of judicial economy and efficiency to consolidate these cases at least for discovery purposes. (Joint Report, p. 5, §II(D)). The Defendant, however, states in this Report his position in opposition to consolidation for any purpose. (1st). + +All of the cases Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 v. Epstein allege sexual assaults by Defendant Epstein. They all make identical claims for relief for Sexual Assault and Battery (Count I); Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (Count II); and Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422 (Count III). Most importantly for present purposes, they all allege the same plan and scheme by Defendant Epstein to lure underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion for the purpose of giving a massage, and that he sexually molested them during the course of this massage. (ate, u t, Jane Doe No. 3 Second Amended Complaint 11 7-11; Jane Doe 4, Second Amended Complaint, Ili 8-12). + +Jane Doe No. 3 in discovery responses served on January 26, 2009 disclosed that she brought three other girls to Epstein's mansion for the purpose giving him a massage. These other girls include Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 2 and Jane Doe. No. 4. (Les Plaintiff Jane Doe 3's Answers to Interrogatories, no. 23, attached hereto as Exhibit "A"). + +On March 16, 2009, Defendant's counsel served a Notice of Taking Deposition of Jane Doe No. 3 in the Jane Doe No. 2case (A copy of this Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit B).2 By letters dated March 3, 2009 and March 20, 2009, Plaintiff's counsel advised Defendant's counsel that Plaintiffs oppose the taking of their depositions more than once, and insisted that each Plaintiff's deposition be noticed in her own case as well as any other case in which she is a witness. Defendant's counsel has to date failed to respond to this correspondence, or otherwise provide any reason why he should be allowed to take a victim's deposition more than once. Absent a protective order or other relief, Defendant's counsel could take Jane Doe No. 3's deposition three times, once in her own case and as a witness in both the Jane Doe No. 2 and Jane Doe No. 4 cases. (See Exh. + +# III. Argument + +### A. A PLAINTIFF IN THESE CASES SHOULD NOT BE REOUIRED TO APPEAR FOR DEPOSITION MORE THAN ONCE + +The district court has discretion to fashion a protective order under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c). Farnsworth v. Procter & Gamble Co. 758 F.2d 1545 (11th Cir. 1985). This discretion "does not depend upon a legal privilege." Id.; Auto Owners Ins. Co. v. Southeast Floating Docks, Inc., 231 F.R.D. 426, 429-30 (M.D.Fla. 2005). Under Rule 26(c), "the Court may, for good cause, issue an order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or undue burden or expense." + +The federal rules expressly recognize that a party should not without cause be deposed more than once. Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(a)(2)(B). "[I]t is clear that the prohibition against deposing a second witness without leave of court exists to protect the witness. Indeed, cases construing Rule 30(a)(2)(B) concern protection of the deponent from, for example, undue burden or harassment." Beaulieu v. Bd. of Trustees, 2007 WL 4468704 (N.D. Fla. 2007). See also Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(2)(C)(i) (directing the court to limit the frequency or extent of discovery otherwise allowed under the rules where "the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative or duplicative, or can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, or less expensive"). + +2 The deposition was unilaterally scheduled for April 14, 2009. + +Additionally, Fed.R.Civ.P. 45(c) provides that the party or attorney issuing a subpoena must take reasonable steps to avoid imposing an undue burden on the deponent, and that the Court may impose an appropriate sanction, including reasonable attorneys' fees, if the party or attorney fails to comply. + +In the present cases, where sexual misconduct is at issue, Jane Doe No. 3 will be unduly burdened by one or more separate depositions of her as a witness, to be followed by her deposition as a party. Sste Miscellaneous Docket Matter #1 v. Miscellaneous Docket Matter #2 197 F.3d 922, 925 (8th Cir. 1999) (case where sexual matters at issue, holding that district court was warranted in quashing subpoena of witness' second deposition to protect witness from embarrassment and undue burden). + +Defendant's counsel seeks to circumvent these rules by noticing Jane Doe No. 3's deposition first as a witness in the Jane Doe No. 2case, apparently to be followed by her depositions in her own case and the Jane Doe No. 7 case. Such multiple depositions of the Plaintiff would be contrary to judicial economy and efficiency, and would serve only to unduly harass, annoy and burden the Plaintiff. Defendant's counsel has offered no reason whatsoever why Jane Doe No. 3's deposition should not be taken just once, encompassing her knowledge of facts and information relevant to all three related cases. It is inconceivable that Defendant's counsel would be prejudiced if Jane Doe No. 3 were to sit for deposition just once. + +Accordingly, good cause exists for a protective order preventing Defendant from taking Plaintiff's deposition piecemeal in separate cases, and requiring that the Plaintiff's deposition be taken just once, covering all of the related cases against Epstein. + +### B. THESE RELATED CASES SHOULD BE CONSOLIDATED FOR PURPOSES OF DISCOVERY + +As a corollary to the protective order sought by Jane Doe No. 3, the problem of multiple depositions of any Plaintiff could be avoided by consolidating the related cases for purposes of pretrial discovery pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 42(a). Consolidation may be appropriate where "actions before the court involve a common question of law or fact", and in such cases the court is authorized to issue "orders to avoid unnecessary cost or delay." Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(aX3). "Consolidation of actions in their pretrial stage, under many circumstances, will be a desirable administrative technique and is within the power of the Court." , Federal Practice & Procedure §2382 (2008). See also v. Eagle Building Technologies 209 F.R.C. 499, 501 (S.D. Fla. 2002) (noting that Court has broad discretion under Rule 42(a) to consolidate cases within its district). "In deciding whether to consolidate actions, we have instructed that district courts should consider whether doing so could lead to prejudice or confusion." Ramsay v. Broward County Sheriffs Office 2008 WL 5237162 \*3 (1 I th Cir. 2008). + +The common and overlapping issues in this case, both factual and legal, are patent and obvious. Here, Plaintiff moves for limited consolidation, for purposes of pretrial discovery only. Such a consolidation is common and appropriate to further the interests of judicial economy and efficiency. See, e.g., In re Enron Corm Securities Litigation, 206 F.R.P. 427, 438 (S.D. Tex. 2002). At the same time, there is no conceivable prejudice or confusion that would result from consolidation for purposes of pretrial discovery. To the contrary, consolidation will avoid unnecessary prejudice and confusion. For example, with regard to the instant Motion, consolidation for purposes of discovery would make it clear that each party/witness can only be deposed once, covering all issues in the related cases. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests (i) a protective order pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c) requiring that the deposition of Jane Doe No. 3 be taken no more than once, for purposes of all + +of the related case to which her testimony may be relevant; (ii) an order pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 45 quashing the unilateral nonparty subpoena for deposition of Jane Doe No. 3 in the Jane Doe No. 2 case; (iii) an order pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 42(a) consolidating the Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 v. Epstein cases for purposes of pretrial discovery; and (iv) such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. + +Dated: March 26, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Stuart S.

We decline to issue the writ of certiorari. + +Balas and Shumate filed suit against Ruzzo and Exec, Inc., doing business as "The Boardroom." According to Balas and Shumate, The Boardroom operates ostensibly as \*1077 a leisure spa but actually is a house of prostitution. Balas worked at The Boardroom from December 1993 until February 1996; Shumate worked there from October 1992 until March 1996. Ruzzo, the sole officer and shareholder of Exec, Inc., collected about fifty to sixty percent of each employees' earnings from performing sexual acts. + +According to Balas and Shumate, Ruzzo exerted mental and emotional control over her employees and thus she was able to exploit them as prostitutes. Ruzzo required her employees to pay her substantial sums of money to attend "metaphysical workshops" conducted by Ruzzo or persons associated with her. At the work place, the employees were required to participate in religious and quasi-religious "circles," rituals and incantations. These practices were allegedly designed to break down the personalities of the women who worked for Ruzzo and to ██████████ dependency and loyalty to herself. At one time when the earnings of a new employee were missing and believed to be stolen, Ruzzo required that the petitioners be strip searched and body cavity searched. Ruzzo caused the petitioners to believe their continued employment was dependent on their submission to these searches and that they might be arrested on felony charges if they refused to submit to the searches. + +Balas and Shumate's second amended complaint against Ruzzo contains seven counts. Count I is an action for coercion of prostitution pursuant to section 796.09, Florida Statutes. Petitioners allege the requirement that they perform sexual acts to retain their employment constitutes inducement and coercion to engage in prostitution. Count II is a claim for battery for the unwanted and offensive touching of the petitioners' bodies. Count III is a claim for false imprisonment for physically confining the pe- + +titioners against their will. Count IV alleges that respondents' actions constituted an invasion of petitioners' privacy. Count V is a claim for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Count VI alleges a civil rights action-that respondents have violated petitioners' right to be free from crimes of violence motivated by gender within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. section 13981. Finally, count VII seeks civil remedies for criminal practices or racketeering pursuant to section 772.104, Florida Statutes. The petitioners claim that they suffered emotional pain, anguish, humiliation, insult, indignity, loss of self-esteem, inconvenience, hurt and emotional distress.

Langston*, 655 So.2d 91 (Fla.1995); *Amente v. [REDACTED]*, 653 So.2d 1030 (Fla.1995); [REDACTED] v. *Stardust Cruisers, Inc.*, 690 So.2d 743 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997). The concept of relevancy is broader in the discovery context than in the trial context and a party may be permitted to discover evidence that would be inadmissible at trial, if it would lead to the discovery of relevant evidence. *Allstate; Amente*. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(b)(1) delineates the proper scope of discovery: + +*In General.* Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter of the pending action, whether it relates to the claim or defense of the party seeking discovery or the claim or defense of any other party, including the existence, description, + +nature, custody, condition, and location of any books, documents, or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter. It is not ground for objection that the information sought will be inadmissible at the trial if the information sought appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +Nonetheless, the discovery of certain kinds of information may cause material injury of an irreparable nature. This includes the "cat-out-of-the-bag" material that could be used to injure another person or party outside the context of the litigation, material protected by privilege, trade secrets or work product. Discovery was never intended to be used as a tactical tool to harass, embarrass or annoy one's adversary. Rather, pretrial discovery was implemented to simplify the issues in a case, to eliminate the elements of surprise, to encourage the settlement of cases, to avoid the cost of litigation, and to achieve a balanced search for the truth to ensure a fair trial. *Elkins v. Syken*, 672 So.2d 517 (Fla.1996). + +Here the petitioners argue that the information sought to be discovered regarding prostitution and their sexual activities was propounded solely to embarrass them and to invade their right to privacy. The petitioners also claim that this information is privileged under section 796.09 and is not calculated to lead to evidence which would be admissible at trial. + +Section 796.09 provides a person with a civil cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against anyone who coerces that person into prostitution, who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or who uses coercion to collect or receive any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. In the course of litigation under this section, any transaction about which a plaintiff testifies or produces evidence does *not* subject the plaintiff to criminal prosecution or to any penalty or forfeiture. In addition, any testimony or evidence or any information produced by the plaintiff or wit- + +703 So.2d 1076 + 703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 + (Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 4 + +ness for the plaintiffs cannot be used against the plaintiffs or witness in any other investigation or proceeding, except one for perjury. + +Section 796.09(5) specifically provides that it is *not* a defense that the plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for prostitution, that the plaintiff had engaged in prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant or that the plaintiff made no attempt to escape from the defendant. Section 796.09(6) provides that convictions for prostitution or prostitution-related offenses are *inadmissible* for the purpose of attacking the plaintiffs' credibility. + +This legislation was the result of the Florida Supreme Court Gender Bias Study Commission, which conducted an extensive investigation of prostitution in this state. The Commission's activities included interviews with law enforcement and corrections personnel, \*1079 judges, public defenders, prosecutors, drug rehabilitation counselors, social workers, medical personnel, prostitutes, clients and pimps. The Commission found prostitution to be prevalent and uniform throughout the state and law enforcement largely unable to deter it under prevailing social attitudes and judicial practices. The Commission further found that prostitutes are often victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion, that most persons do not chose to become prostitutes, but do so to survive, and that ninety percent of street prostitutes, both adult and children, are controlled by pimps who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain this control. The Commission determined that clients and pimps are rarely prosecuted and, when prosecuted, receive light sentences; whereas prostitutes, who are mainly females, are frequently prosecuted and receive harsher treatment in the courts. The Commission recommended changes in the methods of intervention in prostitution from punitive to therapeutic, changes in the law to require more equal treatment by the courts of the prostitute in relation to the client and the pimp and to lessen the incentive to traffic in human flesh by giving the prostitute access to the judicial system without first having to be + +arrested. + +Under section 796.09, the petitioners' prior involvement in prostitution and their earnings from prostitution would be irrelevant. Hence discovery should not be permitted because such information would not be admissible at trial nor would it be reasonably calculated to lead to evidence ultimately admissible at trial. Even though the scope of discovery is generally quite broad, section 796.09 is designed to encourage prostitutes to sue their pimps. Thus the usually broad scope of discovery may be constricted so that prostitutes will not be embarrassed, harassed or hindered in their actions. + +[3] Had the petitioners brought their lawsuit against Ruzzo and The Boardroom *only* under section 796.09, evidence of petitioners' past prostitution, including with the Boardroom, and their earnings relating to such activities, may not have been discoverable. However, the petitioners filed a multi-count complaint for compensatory and punitive damages, alleging numerous causes of action against the respondents. These other causes carry no such protection from discovery. Since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of these *other* causes of action or to determination of damages, we cannot conclude that the trial court departed from the essential requirements of law in granting this discovery. *See* [REDACTED] v. *TIB Bank of the Keys*, 687 So.2d 895 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) (by alleging fraud as well as breach of contract, purchaser placed at issue her reliance on venders' assertions, the veracity of financial documents she submitted to the vender, and the state of her mental health, including memory problems she was experiencing at the time of the alleged tortious conduct, thus deposition questions concerning her state of mind were relevant). + +Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED. + +THOMPSON, J., concurs. + HARRIS, J., concurs specially with opinion.HARRIS, Judge, concurring specially: + +© 2009 Thomson Reuters/West.

Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)There is a temptation in cases such as this to inquire which, the pot or the kettle, is imbued with the darker hue. Indeed that may ultimately be the question uppermost in the jurors' minds. But the issue presently before us is simply whether the pot, in order to establish the parties' comparative complexion, may discover the historical condition and the inherent characteristics of the kettle. + +We are here involved with parties that the limited record before us indicates were co-conspirators in a joint effort to violate Florida's laws against prostitution. The defendants are the owner/operators of a "social club" whose primary service is prostitution; the plaintiffs are employees of the club who provide such services. The employees are suing the owner/operators for, among other counts, taking advantage of their vulnerabilities ("coercing" them to be prostitutes) through manipulation and exploitation. In order to prepare a defense to the action, defendants have filed certain interrogatories for the employees to answer. These interrogatories\*1080 request such information as how long the employees have been engaged in prostitution; how the employees have been affected by the defendants' conduct; copies of photographs, movies, and videotapes in which the employees have performed sexual acts or simulated sexual acts; the names of previous employers and previous rates of pay; and a statement of income received from defendants. These interrogatories survived the employees' objections. I agree certiorari should be denied. + +The employees' primary cause of action is based on section 796.09(1), Florida Statutes, which provides: + +- (1) A person has a cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against: + - (a) A person who coerces that person into prostitution; + - (b) A person who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or + - (c) A person who uses coercion to collect or receive + +any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. + +The employees resist discovery of their past prostitution or their past or present earning experience on the basis of subparagraph 5 of section 796.09: + +(5) It does not constitute a defense to a complaint under this section that: + +- a) The plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for acts of prostitution; +- b) The plaintiff engaged in acts of prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant ... + +But the question before us is not whether prior acts of prostitution (or the receipts of earnings therefrom) which might be revealed by answering the interrogatories could be used as a defense to the complaint, but rather whether evidence of such conduct or such earnings would be relevant in determining whether the employees were, in fact, "coerced" into prostitution, into remaining prostitutes, or into sharing the proceeds of their services with defendants. The relevancy of this information depends, of course, on what constitutes coercion. + +If we apply the definition of "coercion" which is commonly accepted, then the relevancy of the requested information is apparent and this appeal has no merit at all. Webster defines "coercion" as: (1) to restrain or dominate by force, (2) to compel an act or choice, or (3) to enforce or bring about by force or threat. In sexual battery cases, the legislature has adopted the common meaning of the word "coercion" and has even placed limits on it. It has provided that consent will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by threats of force or violence *if* the victim reasonably believes the perpetrator has the present ability to execute the threat.791 Consent also will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by a threat of retaliation against the victim or another *if* the victim reasonably believes that the perpetrator has the ability to execute the threat in the future.792 And in sexual battery cases, the legislature has vitiated what might otherwise be con- + +© 2009 Thomson Reuters/West.

Therefore, even in sexual battery cases, before coercion or exploitation will vitiate consent, the free will of the victim must be overcome by force or threat or some unfortunate circumstance suffered by the victim. + +> FNI.

Section 794.011(4)(a),(d),(e), and (f), Florida Statutes. + +But then we get to the definition of "coercion" contained in section 796.09(3): + +:3) As used in this section, the term "coercion" means any practice of dominion, restraint, or inducement for the purpose of or with the reasonably foreseeable effect of causing another person to engage in or remain in prostitution or to relinquish earnings derived from prostitution, and includes, but is not limited to: + +,a) 1 Physical force or threats of physical force + +:b) Physical or mental torture. + +:c) Kidnapping. + +'1081 (d) Blackmail. + +,'e) Extortion or claims of indebtedness. + +:f) Threats of legal complaint or report of delinquency. + +,'g) Threat to interfere with parental rights or responsibilities, whether by judicial or administrative action or otherwise. + +:h) Promise of legal benefit. + +',I) Promise of greater financial rewards. + +'j) Promise of marriage. + +:k) Restraint of Speech or communications with others. + +1,/ ) Exploitation of a condition of developmental disability, cognitive limitation, affective disorder, or substance dependency. + +1,m) Exploitation of victimization by sexual abuse. + +:n) Exploitation of pornographic performance. + +:o) Exploitation of human needs for food, shelter, safety, or affection. + +The definition urged by the employees herein is the "promise of a greater financial reward." Whether the requested information is relevant to the issue of coercion in this case will depend on what the legislature intended by subsection (I) in the meaning of "coercion." + +I agree with Judge Altenbemd's thoughtful analysis in State v. Brigham, 694 So.2d 793 (1997): + +There can be no dispute that the legislature's unusual definition of "percent" is not a common dictionary definition. This is perhaps an appropriate case in which to remind ourselves of Learned Hand's famous observation that a "mature and developed jurisprudence" does not "make a fortress out of the dictionary." + +But even so, one would expect some nexus between the commonly accepted meaning of a word and the definition of that word ascribed by the legislature. If, for example, the legislature defined "canine" as including cats, although one might, jurisprudentially speaking, expect to hear a meow emanate from a Great Dane, the courts should nevertheless closely examine the legislative history to see if that is really what the legislature intended. The court in Young v. O'Keefe, 246 Iowa 1182, 69 N.W.2d 534, 537 (1955), stated this principle as follows: "But + +703 So.2d 1076 + 703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 + (Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 7 + +before a definition is construed so as to expand the meaning of a well-known word to include its antonym ..., the intention of the legislature to that effect must be clear." As Judge [REDACTED] observed in *Catron v. Roger Bohn, D.C., P.A.*, 580 So.2d 814, 818 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991): + +It is our primary duty to give effect to legislative intent and, if a literal interpretation of a statute leads to unreasonable results, then we should exercise our power to interpret reason and logic to it. + +\* \* \* \* \* + +Unfortunately, it is apparent that in enacting this legislation, the legislature has, without redefining the terms for the purposes of this legislation, often used terms with commonly accepted meanings for purposes at great variance from those commonly accepted meanings. + +In our case, the legislature did define the term for the purpose of the act. But because the term (coercion) as so defined can be interpreted two ways-one consistent with the commonly accepted meaning and one at variance-we should not accept the "antonym" unless such legislative intent is clear. A free will decision, even if based on a hope of financial gain, is the opposite of a coerced decision. + +The employees urge that the mere promise of a greater reward brings them within the act. But if the mere promise of a greater reward is sufficient to establish coercion, then anyone who makes a voluntary and reasoned exercise of free will motivated by the hope of economic gain has been coerced. This definition removes the element of compulsion implicit in the commonly accepted meaning of coercion and substitutes therefor the mere desire for financial gain. The employees herein assert that since they were offered "a greater financial reward" for providing the services performed by them through defendants' establishment, they were coerced into their prostitution activities. This equates the giving + +of an opportunity to make a decision with the coercion of that decision. But subsection (I) can also mean \*1082 that the promise of a greater reward is coercion *only if* such promised reward is sufficient to overcome one's natural revulsion to selling one's body for money. If there is no such revulsion, there can be no coercion. Becoming a prostitute only because one likes the hours and wages or "because it beats the heck out of working for a living" simply should not meet the test of section 796.09(1). + +At oral argument herein, it was suggested without contradiction, that at least one of the employees has a college degree and gave up a well-paying, legitimate job in order to engage in this profession for the greater reward. Section 796.09 does not appear to be a general prostitute's relief act. It is based on a report by the Gender Bias Study Commission which recommended the equalization of treatment in relation to the prostitute, the client and the "pimp." It is based on the premise that prostitutes are generally victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion and choose prostitution in order to survive. Further, the Commission was concerned that 90 percent of the street prostitutes are controlled by "pimps" who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain control. It seems clear that the legislature was not intending to depart from the precepts of the commonly understood meaning of "coercion" and to redefine it to include both free will decisions and compelled decisions.. The interpretation urged by the employees seems at variance with the stated goal of the legislature and the Gender Bias Commission. + +Since there is no cause of action provided for one who makes a reasoned and voluntary exercise of their free will to enter or continue in the profession solely for financial rewards (assuming "coercion" is given the definition more consistent with its commonly accepted meaning and assuming that my interpretation of legislative intent is correct), coercion becomes the critical issue in the trial of such action. The interrogatories propounded by defendants appear relevant to the issue of coercion. + +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)This is a case of first impression based on a relatively new statute. As indicated, the legislative history of the new law suggests that the statute is designed to assist those who were forced to enter prostitution in order to keep a roof over their heads or food on their table. It does not appear to be intended to aid those who voluntarily enter the profession in order to drive a Mercedes instead of a ██████. The limited record before us indicates that even beginning employees of the defendants (those who do not have an established clientele) bring in \$700 a day and can keep 50% of their earnings. Based on a five-day work week, this would reflect an income of \$87,500 a year even with a two week vacation. And the employees herein are not beginners. + +There is no indication that the legislature intended to legalize prostitution or to make it a respectable profession. It merely intended to place the prostitute on the same footing with the client and the "pimp." If a prostitute voluntarily makes the decision to participate, free from force, intimidation, or disadvantageous circumstance, then he or she is on the same footing as the other participants and should be treated the same. + +Although it might well serve a legitimate public purpose to permit the cannibalistic demise of such enterprises (and I am not unsympathetic with this view), that does not appear to be the policy behind the current statute. Therefore, in cases where coercion is not present (and this may or may not be one), the court should continue its tradition of not interceding in civil conflicts involving transactions that are either illegal or are against public policy. *See Wechsler v. Novak*, 157 Fla. 703, 26 So.2d 884 (1946); ██████ v. *Ratiner*, 462 So.2d 1157, 1160 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), *rev. denied*, 472 So.2d 1182 (Fla.1985) ("An action may lie for interference with an unenforceable contract and even perhaps a voidable contract.

Flagler Drive Suite 400 West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 Counsel for Defendant BY: ROBERT D. CRITTON, JR., ESQUIRE + +that but I'd just like to do that. + +THE COURT: Right. And if you want to contact the other individuals saying, you know, I'm the one that's questioning whether or not these need to be before one judge. You may have a different perspective than your colleagues who are prosecuting some of the cases. + +I understand the damages. I'm not saying consolidate. I'm saying transfer. It's not a consolidation issue. Everybody gets that confused for some reason. The words are very different out of my mouth, your mouth and how they're written. + +So let me go ahead and take a gander at this. I did read it last night. I'm not sure that we need to get -- we need names? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. Well, here's what some of the issues are is that, as an example -- if I could approach the bench. + +THE COURT: Sure. + +MR. CRITTON: This is some of the information that we've obtained through discovery from some of the -- from at least in this instance, it would be this particular Jane Doe. + +THE COURT: You know who Jane Doe is I take + +it? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. + +THE COURT: You know who the Jane Doe is? + +MR. CRITTON: Yes, correct. And so this particular lady has kept in part a diary and she -- which appears to have started some time this is not in any way significant -- but some time after she learned that she could file a lawsuit. I think she's also been to Oakwood Center some time after she learned she could file a lawsuit and seek damages from Mr. Epstein. + +There's no history of this lady beforehand other than in some of the Oakwood records where she was Baker Acted, she started drinking beer at 16, she started Xanax at 16, started marijuana at 15, that she's sexually active. + +So how she has interacted -- she has a claim for emotional damages, mental pain and anguish, psychiatric-type damages. How she's interacted with friends, with family, the events in her life, school, work, her interpersonal relationships both with men and let's -- we'll use an example men here, but other individuals. She's saying that this event with Mr. Epstein, + +this sexual assault and whatever occurred during these events is that -- has caused her damage. + +And therefore damages in the case such as the emotional, mental, psychiatric-type damages are completely subjective, I mean separate and apart from any medical bills that may be -- which are clearly intangible. So these are intangible damages. And the jury is instructed, you know, you advise the greater weight of the evidence, what's fair and reasonable under the circumstances. + +So what we would have is basically this young lady's testimony as to what she claims her damages are and what the circumstances are with her situation with Mr. Epstein. She claims on page 13, you know, I love this guy, I'm dating this guy Chris. On page 15 -- + +THE COURT: Is this part of a diary for treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: I have no idea what it is. It was just produced in response to discovery. And she apparently started in, I think this is December of '08. You know I took Jay Lyntenis' girl to the zoo, had an amazing day, I love her, i.e., the girl. We have so much fun. I want a + +baby especially with him. Okay. So I know who this person is. We are all so open together, I love him and Jay and , what do I do with Chris, who is another guy in her life. + +All right. This is circumstances where this young lady is saying, look, Jeffrey Epstein has ruined my life from a damage standpoint, okay. Let me depose other individuals with whom you've had a relationship. And what if it turns out -- as with some of these girls did -- is they had relationships or had escapades or circumstances with individuals, older men similar to Mr. Epstein well before Mr. Epstein. + +And this girl, I don't know one way or the other, but let's assume she had a situation where she was assaulted or molested or raped, ' that all is going to affect her emotional and her mental pain and anguish and it will all factor into evaluating damages. + +You know, it's not something that I'm going to spread around. I'm happy to keep it, you know, within the confines of the discovery of this case. But if she says every other relationship in my life has been perfect but Jeff Epstein has done this to me and it has affected + +my ability to trust men and my sexual relationships with other men, which is part of her interpersonal relationships, okay, let's talk to + +THE COURT: When does your client allege that she had her first encounter with Mr. Epstein? + +MR. : At what age? + +THE COURT: Well, what year? + +MR. CRITTON: June of '03. + +MR. : June of '03, Judge. + +MR. CRITTON: She claims from June of '03 through November of '04. + +MR. : She was I believe 16 at the beginning and ended at 17. She was a minor during all this time. + +THE COURT: June of '03 to now is six years. + +Let me hear from Mr. + +MR. : Judge, in the criminal case that was filed against Mr. Epstein, he would not have had a right to do this type of discovery and I -- if I could hand up -- + +THE COURT: They wouldn't care about the women. + +MR. : Right. Well, I mean -- + +1 + +2 + +3 + +4 + +5 + +6 + +7 + +8 + +9 + +10 + +11 + +12 + +13 + +14 + +15 + +16 + +17 + +18 + +19 + +20 + +21 + +22 + +23 + +24 + +25 + +THE COURT: This is damages. There's no - they weren't seeking damages at the time. + +MR. .: Right. And we have not alleged in the complaint or in the answers to interrogatories that her ability to have a relationship with aman has been affected by Mr. Epstein's conduct. + +We have alleged that she has been hospitalized for depression, anxiety but we have not alleged any damages concerning -- the only reason this would be relevant is if we were making a claim at her ability to have either sexual relations or to have emotional relations with men was effected by her experience with Mr. Epstein. + +So this damages' claim is just a smoke screen to attempt to get evidence to show the jury that this woman has had other consensual relationships with young men that are approximately her age what I would characterize as a slut defense. She had it coming to her because she engaged in other voluntarily consensual -- + +THE COURT: Mr. Critton wouldn't try the slut defense in my courtroom, I'm sure. + +1 2 3 MR. : Maybe not, but certainly that's the way this discovery is going. And, Judge, what -- + +4 5 THE COURT: What are the damages you think your client is seeking? + +6 7 8 10 11 12 13 MR. : She is seeking emotional distress damages for depression and anxiety and she has been hospitalized at the Oakwood Center. Her friend -- she was on the phone to a friend who called the sheriff's office because she thought she was suicidal. The sheriffs responded. They Baker Acted her that day and they took her eventually to the Oakwood Center. + +14 15 16 THE COURT: How do we know it's not intertwined with her rejection by three other men since Mr. Epstein? + +17 18 19 MR. : Well, even if it was related to her rejection by three other men -- you mean other men's rejection of her? + +20 21 22 23 THE COURT: Yeah. Well, how do you not know that? I mean you can't do it until you do discovery. Has anybody attempted to review the records from Oakwood to find out what's going on? + +24 25 MR. CRITTON: It's like a one-time visit when she was Baker Acted and then there's some + +other -- + +THE COURT: She didn't receive treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: She received treatment for that day and she's been back a couple of times. She's on medication. Again, I don't know what or the extent but she's got -- her medical bills are de minimis. + +Again as an example, Judge, did the Court have an opportunity to look at the case that I also attached to the motion? Because there's a case that's almost on all fours with this which I attached to our motion which is called Belles versus Russo. + +THE COURT: Right. + +MR. CRITTON: It was a case where the plaintiff was sued -- the plaintiff sued the former owners of a house of prostitution. So that part is different, but within it there were a number of claims including a sexual assault claim and they sought emotional pain, humiliation and emotional distress. + +Within the complaint that was filed in this particular case, she is seeking severe emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, past and future, compensatory + +humiliation, loss of reputation, mental anguish, pain and suffering, the same type of damages. And what the Court said -- + +THE COURT: How old is she now? + +MR. : She's 21 now. + +MR. CRITTON: She's 21 now. What the Court said is, you know, if you'd only brought this claim under 796 evidence of past issues, it's not an issue. You can't use this defense for anything, but because you brought these other claims which include, you know, sexual assault and you're seeking damages for other causes of action since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of the other causes of action or determination of damages, we cannot conclude the trial court parted from essential requirements of law in granting -- + +THE COURT: So in other words, she's not only seeking -- she's seeking current emotional damage as a result of this relationship and you're trying to find out if she had prior relationships that perhaps could be intertwined with it so that it's not just Mr. Epstein's -- + +MR. CRITTON: Right. A perfect example is + +one of the cases that I have is there's ayoung lady who claims that she was molested in the past and raped, pretty significant issues, well in advance of her even meeting with Mr. Epstein. And they seem to play a large role in her psychiatric and psychological evaluation. + +We're going to come to the Court in this case as we have others and ask for a psychological evaluation of this lady, and if she was raped or if she was molested or just she had abad experience or some -- whether it was a young or old man assaulted her in some fashion, that may play a role in her damages and what -- + +THE COURT: What I'm going to allow for discovery purposes only not necessarily getting it in at the time trial are two years before her first encounter with Mr. Epstein and anything subsequent. + +MR. IIIIII: Judge, I just wanted to say on the record because I forgot to mention it, there's also -- I did state an objection to the identity of people that are unrepresented in this courtroom. They have rights too. So what I -- + +THE COURT: Well, my suggestion is that you send those people a letter and tell them that + +you're going to disclose them and if they have a problem with it that they come to see me before you disclose it. + +So I'm going to give you 20 days to respond to this rather than the usual five and that will give you time to put these people on notice and if they want to come visit with me and have a John Doe, I'll have aJohn Doe hearing but, you know, this is her case. She's doing it. She's the one seeking damages, and he is entitled to be able to confront other individuals to find out information that may be relevant to the damages she's seeking or she can drop the damages. That's her choice. If you seek damages, you've got to do it -- if you could put that in an order so that we have atime for him to do this. + +Just fill out an order, hand it back up to me and I'll deal with it. + +(The proceedings were concluded.) + +1 + +2 + +3 + +4 + +5 + +6 + +7 + +8 + +9 + +10 + +11 + +12 + +13 + +14 + +15 + +16 + +17 + +18 + +19 + +20 + +21 + +22 + +23 + +24 + +25 + +THE STATE COUNTY OF OF

MOTION TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF, JANE DOE NO. 3, TO RESPOND TO DEFENDANT'S FIRST REQUEST TO PRODUCE & TO OVERRULE OBJECTIONS, & FOR AN AWARD OF DEFENDANTS REASONABLE EXPENSES + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned attorneys, moves this Court for an order compelling Plaintiff, JANE DOE No. 3 To respond to specified production requests and to overrule her objections asserted in Plaintiff's Responses To Defendant's First Request To Produce, dated January 26, 2009. Defendant further seeks an award of his reasonable expenses, including expenses, associated with the making of this motion. Rule 37, Fed.R.Civ.P. (2008); Local Gen. Rules 7.1 and 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. 2008). In support of his motion, Defendant states: + +### Introduction + +Prior to the filing of this motion, counsel for Defendant and counsel for Plaintiff corresponded with each other and were able to resolve some of the discovery issues related to Defendant's First Request to Produce and Plaintiffs Response thereto. By letter, dated March 3, 2009, the Plaintiff agreed to withdraw her "General Objections" set forth in her response. As well, issues as to production request no. 14 are presently resolved. This motion addresses those requests on which the parties were unable to + +come to an agreement. + +Also, Defendant has filed simultaneously with this motion a Motion To Compel directed to certain of Plaintiffs Answers to Defendant's First Set of Interrogatories, also dated January 26, 2009, and which addresses identical discovery issues. Both motions should be determined at the same time. + +#### Motion To Compel Responses to Nos. 1.10. 11. 17. & 18 + +## Production Request No. 1 + +1. Individual and/or joint income tax returns and supporting documentation including W-2 and 1099 forms for 2002-2007 and, as well as all records or documentation relative to the Plaintiffs earnings for the current year. + +## Response: + +Plaintiff objects to this request as overbroad, unduly burdensome, and not reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence. Without waiving this objection, Plaintiff states that she has no such documents in her possession and agrees to provide Defendant's counsel with a signed IRS form 4506-T upon request. + +## Legal Argument Supporting Entitlement to Discovery Sought in No. 1 + +Plaintiff does not make a relevancy objection, but instead claims that the request is "not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." Plaintiff also claims that the request is "overbroad" and "unduly burdensome," but fails to make any showing whatsoever how the request is overbroad or unduly burdensome as required under Rule 26(c) and Local Gen. Rule 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. (2008). On its face, the six year time period of 2002-2007 for Plaintiffs tax return's and supporting documentation is reasonable. Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint alleges that the alleged sexual abuse and exploitation of her by Defendant occurred in "in 2004-2005." 2d Am. Complaint, ¶8. + +Plaintiff finally states "she has no such documents in her possession and agrees + +to provided Defendant's counsel with a signed IRS form 4506-T upon request." Defendant's counsel by faxed letter, dated March 30, 2009, requested that Plaintiff sign and submit two IRS Forms 4506-T requesting tax returns for Each of the years 2002 - 2007. In the event, Plaintiff complies with the request, Defendant will withdraw his motion to compel directed to request no. 1. + +Also, such information is both relevant and reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. It is well settled that relevant information is discoverable, even if not admissible at trial, so long as the discovery is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Rule 26(b)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P.; Donahav v. Palm Beach Tours & trans., Inc., 242 F.R.D. 685 (S.D. Fla. 2007). Discoverability of such information is governed by Rule 26, Fed.R.Civ.P., pursuant to which the scope of discovery is broad. Donahav, supra, at 686, and cases cited therein. "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the claims or defense of any party involved in the pending action." Id. + +Plaintiffs tax returns, along with the requested supporting documentation, for the six year period are relevant to Plaintiffs damages claims detailed below herein. Such information would show Plaintiffs employment and earning history, as well as provide evidence as to how Plaintiff has been able to function in her daily life before, during and after the alleged incident. Was she self-sufficient? Was she able to get out of bed each morning and support herself? What type of job did she hold? One's ability to earn a living and be self-supporting has not only a financial component, but also an emotional/psychological/mental component. + +In her Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attempts to allege claims in Count I + +for "Sexual Assault and Battery," Count II for "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," and in Count III for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C.A. §2422," and seeks damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). (Plaintiff alleges diversity of citizenship as a basis for this Court's jurisdiction. 2d Am. Complaint, ¶5). Counts I and II are brought pursuant to state law. + +In her complaint, Plaintiff alleges that "she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages," and "severe mental anguish and pain." She also seeks compensatory damages for her alleged injuries. 2d Am. Complaint,¶¶21, 27, 33, and 'Wherefore" clauses. In her answers to interrogatories nos. 9 and 10, Plaintiff further states that: + +Plaintiff has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries, including without limitation, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, guilt, self-blame, feelings of being degraded, feeling unattractive, diminished sense of femininity, fluctuations in weight/appetite, sexual intimacy problems, flashbacks, disturbing memories, stress, irritability, feelings of being isolated and trapped, diminished trust, social problems, problems in personal relationships, indecisiveness, lower energy, lower ambition and initiative, headaches, back pain, feels stress (particularly around men), obsessive thoughts, problems concentrating, alcohol abuse, corruption of morals and values, loss of innocence, and cries a lot. (Interrog. No. 9). + +... she seeks damages arising from her psychological and emotional injuries. These damages include pain and suffering, costs of psychological care and treatment, and loss of earning capacity. ... (lnterrog. No. 10). + +As discussed above, the tax returns, and supporting documentation, will provide direct evidence as to Plaintiff's claimed damages, not only her loss of earning capacity claim, but also her emotional/psychological/mental health type damages. The time period will allow Defendant to compare how Plaintiff was doing in her life prior to, during, and after the alleged incident. Accordingly, Plaintiff's objection is required to be overruled, and Defendant is entitled to the documents requested. + +## Production Requests Nos. 10, 11. 17. & 18 + +10. All photographs, movies, dvds, and videotapes in which you performed sexual acts or simulated sexual acts. + +11. All photographs, movies, dvds, and videotapes in which you performed sexual acts or simulated sexual acts in exchange for money or other consideration. + +17. All documents reflecting the names and addresses of other individuals with whom you have had sexual activity from January 1, 2000 — December 31, 2005. + +18. All documents reflecting the names and addresses of other individuals with whom you have had sexual activity from January 1, 2006 through November 30, 2008. + +Plaintiff asserted the identical answer to each of the above stated interrogatories: + +## Response: + +Plaintiff objects to this request as harassing and not reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence. Moreover, this interrogatory [sic] is outrageous, offensive and is apparently posed for the purpose of intimidating the Plaintiff. Any evidence that could conceivably be obtained through this request would not be admissible under Fed.R.Evid.412. Without waiving this objection, none to Plaintiff's knowledge. + +# Legal Argument Supporting Entitlement to Discovery Sought in 10, 11, 17, & 18 + +Plaintiff does not make a relevancy objection, but instead claims that the requests are "not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," claiming that such "evidence ... would not be admissible under Fed.R.Evid. 412." Plaintiff further claims, without making any showing in her answer and without moving for a protective order in accordance with Rule 26(c) and Local Gen. Rule 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. 2008), that the interrogatory is "harassing,' "outrageous, offensive and is apparently posed for the purpose of intimidating Plaintiff." See Defendant's Motion to Compel directed to Plaintiff's Answers to Defendant's First Set of Interrogatories, addressing identical discovery issues. Both Defendant's interrogatories and production requests seek information regarding Plaintiff's sexual conduct and history; Plaintiff + +raised the same objections. + +In each of her responses, Plaintiff also states that — "Without waiving this objection, none to Plaintiffs knowledge." Plaintiff's response is evasive — either the requested items exist or do not existed. Defendant is entitled to a better response specifically indicating whether the items requested in each of the production requests nos. 10, 11, 17, and 18 — (1) exist or do not exist; (2) are in the possession or control of Plaintiff or some other person that Plaintiff is able to identify; and (3) why Plaintiff qualifies her answer of "none" with the phrase "to Plaintiff's knowledge." (Did such items exist and Plaintiff destroyed or deleted them?) + +As to the relevance of the information sought, it is well settled that relevant information is discoverable, even if not admissible at trial, so long as the discovery is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Rule 26(b)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P.; Donahay v. Palm Beach Tours & trans., Inc., 242 F.R.D. 685 (S.D. Fla. 2007). Contrary to Plaintiff's assertion, Rule 412 does not automatically result in a determination that such sexual history and sexual activity/behavior information is never admissible. In fact, written into the Rule are the procedures to follow in determining when such information is admissible at trial. The Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 412, Fed.R.Evid, makes clear that the procedures to determine admissibility of an alleged victim's/plaintiffs sexual conduct or activity in civil cases does not apply to discovery of such information. Rather, discoverability of such information is governed by Rule 26, Fed.R.Civ.P., pursuant to which the scope of discovery is broad. Donahav, supra, at 686, and cases cited therein. "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the claims or defense of any party involved in + +the pending action? Id. + +Rule 412, entitled "Sex Offense Cases; Relevance of Alleged Victim's Past Sexual Behavior or Alleged Sexual Predisposition," provides in relevant part - + +(a) Evidence generally inadmissible.—The following evidence is not admissible in any civil ... proceeding involving alleged sexual misconduct except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c): + +(1) Evidence offered to prove that any alleged victim engaged in other sexual behavior. + +(2) Evidence offered to prove any alleged victim's sexual predisposition. + +(b) Exceptions.— + +(2) In a civil case, evidence offered to prove the sexual behavior or sexual predisposition of any alleged victim is admissible if it is otherwise admissible under these rules and its probative value substantially outweighs the danger of harm to any victim and of unfair prejudice to any party. Evidence of an alleged victim's reputation is admissible only if it has been placed in controversy by the alleged victim. + +(c) Procedure to determine admissibility.— + +(1) A party intending to offer evidence under subdivision (b) must— + +(A) file a written motion at least 14 days before trial specifically describing the evidence and stating the purpose for which it is offered unless the court, for good cause requires a different time for filing or permits filing during trial; and + +(B) serve the motion on all parties and notify the alleged victim or, when appropriate, the alleged victim's guardian or representative. + +(2) Before admitting evidence under this rule the court must conduct a hearing in camera and afford the victim and parties a right to attend and be heard. The motion, related papers, and the record of the hearing must be sealed and remain under seal unless the court orders otherwise. + +In confirming that Rule 412 does not control the discoverability of such information, the Advisory Committee Notes (1994 Amendments) state - + +The procedures set forth in subdivision (c) do not apply to discovery of a + +> victim's past sexual conduct or predisposition in civil cases, which will be continued to be governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26. In order not to undermine the rationale of Rule 412, however, courts should enter appropriate orders pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 (c) to protect the victim against unwarranted inquiries and to ensure confidentiality. Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case, and cannot be obtained except through discovery. In an action for sexual harassment, for instance, while some evidence of the alleged victim's sexual behavior and/or predisposition in the workplace ma be relevant, non-work place conduct will usually be irrelevant. Cf. v. McGregor Electronic Industries, Inc., 989 F.2d 959, 962- 63 (8th Cir. 1993) (posing for a nude magazine outside work hours is irrelevant to issue of unwelcomeness of sexual advances at work). Confidentiality orders should be presumptively granted as well. + +(Emphasis added). + +In accordance with Rule 412 and Rule 26, the discovery sought regarding any photos, movies, dvds, and videotapes as decscribed in requests nos. 10 and 11, and Plaintiffs sexual activity with males, as described in nos. 17 and 18, including whether she received any compensation or consideration therefore, are all relevant to Plaintiff's damages claims and the type of injury she claims she has suffered. Defendant has no other means of obtaining such information and obtaining such information through Plaintiff will better protect the confidentiality until the Court can make a determination in accordance with the procedures under Rule 412(c) whether such information will be admissible at trial. See Rule 412(c) quoted above. Defendant will agree to an order keeping the confidentiality of the information obtained through discovery. + +The evidence sought is relevant based on the facts and theories of this action. In her Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attempts to allege claims in Count I for "Sexual Assault and Battery," Count II for "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," and in Count III for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 + +U.S.C.A. §2422," and seeks damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). (Plaintiff alleges diversity of citizenship as a basis for this Court's jurisdiction. 2d Am. Complaint, ¶5). Counts I and II are brought pursuant to state law. + +In her complaint, Plaintiff alleges that "she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages," and "severe mental anguish and pain." She also seeks compensatory damages for her alleged injuries. 2d Am. Complaint,¶¶21, 27, 33, and "Wherefore" clauses. In her answers to interrogatories nos. 9 and 10, Plaintiff further states that: + +Plaintiff has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries, including without limitation, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, guilt, self-blame, feelings of being degraded, feeling unattractive, diminished sense of femininity, fluctuations in weight/appetite, sexual intimacy problems, flashbacks, disturbing memories, stress, irritability, feelings of being isolated and trapped, diminished trust, social problems, problems in personal relationships, indecisiveness, lower energy, lower ambition and initiative, headaches, back pain, feels stress (particularly around men), obsessive thoughts, problems concentrating, alcohol abuse, corruption of morals and values, loss of innocence, and cries a lot. (lnterrog. No. 9). + +... she seeks damages arising from her psychological and emotional injuries. These damages include pain and suffering, costs of psychological care and treatment, and loss of earning capacity. ... (lnterrog. No. 10). + +Plaintiff also alleges that ' , a Palm Beach Community College student," was a part of "Epstein's plan and scheme (which) reflected a particular pattern and method" in the alleged recruiting of girl's to come to EPSTEIN's Palm Beach mansion and give him "massages" in exchange for money. 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶10-12. According to the complaint allegations — "Upon information and belief Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls." ¶8. The "girl would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table ... The girl would be + +alone with EPSTEIN; "Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation and touching the girl sexually." 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶11, 12. Plaintiff alleges that "in 2004-2005," she, "then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." ¶8. Plaintiff alleges that Epstein "sexually assaulted" her and "masturbated during the massage." ¶12 Plaintiff further alleges that "Epstein committed willful acts of child sexual abuse" on her, which resulted in "mental or sexual injury," and "caused or likely to cause Jane Doe's mental or emotional health to be significantly impaired." 2d Am. Complaint, ¶25. + +The items sought are clearly relevant to the injuries and damages claimed by Plaintiff. The nature of her claimed injuries and damages are such that Defendant is entitled to evidence which would show the nature of her relationship with males, whether she has suffered other acts of sexual misconduct, including exploitation and abuse, as alleged in her complaint, whether she suffered injury and damages as a result of the other claimed sexual misconduct with males, and whether she has willingly or not willingly engaged in sexual activity that has been photographed, or filmed by means of movie, dvd or videotapes. See United States v. Bear Stops, 997 F.2d 451 (8th Cir. 1993)(Defendant charged with sexual abuse of six year old boy was entitled to admission of evidence relating to victim's sexual assault by 3 older boys to establish alternative explanation for why victim exhibited behavioral manifestations of sexually abused child.). + +In further support of Defendant's motion, a copy of Balas v. Ruzzo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998), is attached hereto as Exhibit A as it is on point to the discovery issues in this action, and the relevancy and + +discoverability of Plaintiffs history of sexual activity and any payment, therefore. See interrogatories 8, 22 and 30 propounded in the Balas case and footnote 1 herein. 1 + +Additionally and significantly, in other pending state court civil actions against Defendant EPSTEIN attempting to assert similar claims and damages, the Circuit Court Judges have already ruled that such information is discoverable as it is relevant to the damages + +claims of Plaintiff. See Composite Exhibits B and C hereto. Composite Exhibit B are the Orders, dated February 23, 2009, entered in the case of A.C. v. Epstein, and + +Case No. 502008CA025129 MB Al, 15111Judicial Circuit, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida, which granted Defendant's motion to compel therein directed to discovery identical to interrogatory no. 18 above, and to requests for production nos. 17 and 18 addressed below herein. (In the A.C. case, the Plaintiff answered without objection interrogatories identical to nos. 19, 20, and 21 herein.) Composite Exhibit C is a portion the transcript from a March 3, 2009 hearing on Defendant's motion to compel discovery in the case of Jane Doe II v. Epstein, and I= Case No. 502008CA020614 MB AF, 151" Judicial Circuit Court, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida. Again, the Circuit Court Judge determined that the information sought is relevant to the issue of damages and, thus, discoverable. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court enter an order granting Defendant's motion to compel, overruling Plaintiffs objections, and compelling Plaintiff be to produce the items sought and/or to better respond to the requests as specified + +1 In Balas v. Ruzzo supra, the Plaintiffs alleged a multicount complaint including claims for "coercion of prostitution" pursuant to §796.09, Fla.

We decline to issue the writ of certiorari. + +Balas and Shumate filed suit against Ruzzo and Exec, Inc., doing business as "The Boardroom." According to Balas and Shumate, The Boardroom operates ostensibly as **\*1077** a leisure spa but actually is a house of prostitution. Balas worked at The Boardroom from December 1993 until February 1996; Shumate worked there from October 1992 until March 1996. Ruzzo, the sole officer and shareholder of Exec, Inc., collected about fifty to sixty percent of each employees' earnings from performing sexual acts. + +According to Balas and Shumate, Ruzzo exerted mental and emotional control over her employees and thus she was able to exploit them as prostitutes. Ruzzo required her employees to pay her substantial sums of money to attend "metaphysical workshops" conducted by Ruzzo or persons associated with her. At the work place, the employees were required to participate in religious and quasi-religious "circles," rituals and incantations. These practices were allegedly designed to break down the personalities of the women who worked for Ruzzo and to ██████████ dependency and loyalty to herself. At one time when the earnings of a new employee were missing and believed to be stolen, Ruzzo required that the petitioners be strip searched and body cavity searched. Ruzzo caused the petitioners to believe their continued employment was dependent on their submission to these searches and that they might be arrested on felony charges if they refused to submit to the searches. + +Balas and Shumate's second amended complaint against Ruzzo contains seven counts. Count I is an action for coercion of prostitution pursuant to section 796.09, Florida Statutes. Petitioners allege the requirement that they perform sexual acts to retain their employment constitutes inducement and coercion to engage in prostitution. Count II is a claim for battery for the unwanted and offensive touching of the petitioners' bodies. Count III is a claim for false imprisonment for physically confining the pe- + +titioners against their will. Count IV alleges that respondents' actions constituted an invasion of petitioners' privacy. Count V is a claim for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Count VI alleges a civil rights action-that respondents have violated petitioners' right to be free from crimes of violence motivated by gender within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. section 13981. Finally, count VII seeks civil remedies for criminal practices or racketeering pursuant to section 772.104, Florida Statutes. The petitioners claim that they suffered emotional pain, anguish, humiliation, insult, indignity, loss of self-esteem, inconvenience, hurt and emotional distress. They seek an award of general and punitive damages, among other relief. + +The discovery to which the petitioners are being required to respond is as follows: + +**I.** + +**Interrogatory 8:** Please advise how long have you been engaged in prostitution.... + +**II.** + +**Interrogatory 22:** State with specificity the manner in which the acts as described in your Complaint have materially affected how you interact with your husband, boyfriend, fiancée' [sic] or any other individual of the opposite sex. + +**III.** + +**Request for Production 30:** A copy of any photographs, movies or videotapes in which you performed sexual acts and/or simulated sexual acts in exchange for money or other consideration. + +**IV.** + +**Interrogatory 16:** Please list the names, addresses, telephone numbers and rates of pay for all employers for which you worked, including the + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla.

Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(b)(1) delineates the proper scope of discovery: + +*In General.* Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter of the pending action, whether it relates to the claim or defense of the party seeking discovery or the claim or defense of any other party, including the existence, description, + +nature, custody, condition, and location of any books, documents, or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter. It is not ground for objection that the information sought will be inadmissible at the trial if the information sought appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +Nonetheless, the discovery of certain kinds of information may cause material injury of an irreparable nature. This includes the "cat-out-of-the-bag" material that could be used to injure another person or party outside the context of the litigation, material protected by privilege, trade secrets or work product. Discovery was never intended to be used as a tactical tool to harass, embarrass or annoy one's adversary. Rather, pretrial discovery was implemented to simplify the issues in a case, to eliminate the elements of surprise, to encourage the settlement of cases, to avoid the cost of litigation, and to achieve a balanced search for the truth to ensure a fair trial. *Elkins v. Syken*, 672 So.2d 517 (Fla.1996). + +Here the petitioners argue that the information sought to be discovered regarding prostitution and their sexual activities was propounded solely to embarrass them and to invade their right to privacy. The petitioners also claim that this information is privileged under section 796.09 and is not calculated to lead to evidence which would be admissible at trial. + +Section 796.09 provides a person with a civil cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against anyone who coerces that person into prostitution, who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or who uses coercion to collect or receive any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. In the course of litigation under this section, any transaction about which a plaintiff testifies or produces evidence does *not* subject the plaintiff to criminal prosecution or to any penalty or forfeiture. In addition, any testimony or evidence or any information produced by the plaintiff or wit- + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 +(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 4 + +ness for the plaintiffs cannot be used against the plaintiffs or witness in any other investigation or proceeding, except one for perjury. + +Section 796.09(5) specifically provides that it is *not* a defense that the plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for prostitution, that the plaintiff had engaged in prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant or that the plaintiff made no attempt to escape from the defendant. Section 796.09(6) provides that convictions for prostitution or prostitution-related offenses are *inadmissible* for the purpose of attacking the plaintiffs' credibility. + +This legislation was the result of the Florida Supreme Court Gender Bias Study Commission, which conducted an extensive investigation of prostitution in this state. The Commission's activities included interviews with law enforcement and corrections personnel, \*1079 judges, public defenders, prosecutors, drug rehabilitation counselors, social workers, medical personnel, prostitutes, clients and pimps. The Commission found prostitution to be prevalent and uniform throughout the state and law enforcement largely unable to deter it under prevailing social attitudes and judicial practices. The Commission further found that prostitutes are often victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion, that most persons do not chose to become prostitutes, but do so to survive, and that ninety percent of street prostitutes, both adult and children, are controlled by pimps who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain this control. The Commission determined that clients and pimps are rarely prosecuted and, when prosecuted, receive light sentences; whereas prostitutes, who are mainly females, are frequently prosecuted and receive harsher treatment in the courts. The Commission recommended changes in the methods of intervention in prostitution from punitive to therapeutic, changes in the law to require more equal treatment by the courts of the prostitute in relation to the client and the pimp and to lessen the incentive to traffic in human flesh by giving the prostitute access to the judicial system without first having to be + +arrested. + +Under section 796.09, the petitioners' prior involvement in prostitution and their earnings from prostitution would be irrelevant. Hence discovery should not be permitted because such information would not be admissible at trial nor would it be reasonably calculated to lead to evidence ultimately admissible at trial. Even though the scope of discovery is generally quite broad, section 796.09 is designed to encourage prostitutes to sue their pimps. Thus the usually broad scope of discovery may be constricted so that prostitutes will not be embarrassed, harassed or hindered in their actions. + +[3] Had the petitioners brought their lawsuit against Ruzzo and The Boardroom *only* under section 796.09, evidence of petitioners' past prostitution, including with the Boardroom, and their earnings relating to such activities, may not have been discoverable. However, the petitioners filed a multi-count complaint for compensatory and punitive damages, alleging numerous causes of action against the respondents. These other causes carry no such protection from discovery. Since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of these *other* causes of action or to determination of damages, we cannot conclude that the trial court departed from the essential requirements of law in granting this discovery. *See* [REDACTED] v. *TIB Bank of the Keys*, 687 So.2d 895 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) (by alleging fraud as well as breach of contract, purchaser placed at issue her reliance on venders' assertions, the veracity of financial documents she submitted to the vender, and the state of her mental health, including memory problems she was experiencing at the time of the alleged tortious conduct, thus deposition questions concerning her state of mind were relevant). + +Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED. + +THOMPSON, J., concurs. +HARRIS, J., concurs specially with opinion.HARRIS, Judge, concurring specially: + +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)There is a temptation in cases such as this to inquire which, the pot or the kettle, is imbued with the darker hue. Indeed that may ultimately be the question uppermost in the jurors' minds. But the issue presently before us is simply whether the pot, in order to establish the parties' comparative complexion, may discover the historical condition and the inherent characteristics of the kettle. + +We are here involved with parties that the limited record before us indicates were co-conspirators in a joint effort to violate Florida's laws against prostitution. The defendants are the owner/operators of a "social club" whose primary service is prostitution; the plaintiffs are employees of the club who provide such services. The employees are suing the owner/operators for, among other counts, taking advantage of their vulnerabilities ("coercing" them to be prostitutes) through manipulation and exploitation. In order to prepare a defense to the action, defendants have filed certain interrogatories for the employees to answer. These interrogatories\*1080 request such information as how long the employees have been engaged in prostitution; how the employees have been affected by the defendants' conduct; copies of photographs, movies, and videotapes in which the employees have performed sexual acts or simulated sexual acts; the names of previous employers and previous rates of pay; and a statement of income received from defendants. These interrogatories survived the employees' objections. I agree certiorari should be denied. + +The employees' primary cause of action is based on section 796.09(1), Florida Statutes, which provides: + +(1) A person has a cause of action for compensatory and punitive damages against: + +(a) A person who coerces that person into prostitution; + +(b) A person who coerces that person to remain in prostitution, or + +(c) A person who uses coercion to collect or receive + +any part of that person's earnings derived from prostitution. + +The employees resist discovery of their past prostitution or their past or present earning experience on the basis of subparagraph 5 of section 796.09: + +(5) It does not constitute a defense to a complaint under this section that: + +a) The plaintiff was paid or otherwise compensated for acts of prostitution; + +b) The plaintiff engaged in acts of prostitution prior to any involvement with the defendant ... + +But the question before us is not whether prior acts of prostitution (or the receipts of earnings therefrom) which might be revealed by answering the interrogatories could be used as a defense to the complaint, but rather whether evidence of such conduct or such earnings would be relevant in determining whether the employees were, in fact, "coerced" into prostitution, into remaining prostitutes, or into sharing the proceeds of their services with defendants. The relevancy of this information depends, of course, on what constitutes coercion. + +If we apply the definition of "coercion" which is commonly accepted, then the relevancy of the requested information is apparent and this appeal has no merit at all. Webster defines "coercion" as: (1) to restrain or dominate by force, (2) to compel an act or choice, or (3) to enforce or bring about by force or threat. In sexual battery cases, the legislature has adopted the common meaning of the word "coercion" and has even placed limits on it. It has provided that consent will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by threats of force or violence *if* the victim reasonably believes the perpetrator has the present ability to execute the threat.791 Consent also will not be recognized if submission is *coerced* by a threat of retaliation against the victim or another *if* the victim reasonably believes that the perpetrator has the ability to execute the threat in the future.792 And in sexual battery cases, the legislature has vitiated what might otherwise be con- + +© 2009 Thomson Reuters/West.

Section 794.0I1(4)(a),(d),(e). and (I), Florida Statutes. + +But then we get to the definition of "coercion" contained in section 796.09(3): + +:3) As used in this section, the term "coercion" means any practice of dominion, restraint, or inducement for the purpose of or with the reasonably foreseeable effect of causing another person to engage in or remain in prostitution or to relinquish earnings derived from prostitution, and includes, but is not limited to: + +:a) Physical force or threats of physical force + +:b) Physical or mental torture. + +:c) Kidnapping. + +\*1081 (d) Blackmail. + +;e) Extortion or claims of indebtedness. + +f) Threats of legal complaint or report of delinquency. + +,'g) Threat to interfere with parental rights or responsibilities, whether by judicial or administrative action or otherwise. + +:h) Promise of legal benefit. + +',I) Promise of greater financial rewards. + +'j) Promise of marriage. + +:k) Restraint of Speech or communications with others. + +) Exploitation of a condition of developmental disability, cognitive limitation, affective disorder, or substance dependency. + +:m) Exploitation of victimization by sexual abuse. + +:n) Exploitation of pornographic performance. + +:o) Exploitation of human needs for food, shelter, safety, or affection. + +The definition urged by the employees herein is the "promise of a greater financial reward." Whether the requested information is relevant to the issue of coercion in this case will depend on what the legislature intended by subsection (I) in the meaning of "coercion." + +I agree with Judge Altenbemd's thoughtful analysis in State v. Brigham, 694 So.2d 793 (1997): + +there can be no dispute that the legislature's unusual definition of "percent" is not a common dictionary definition. This is perhaps an appropriate case in which to remind ourselves of Learned Hand's famous observation that a "mature and developed jurisprudence" does not "make a fortress out of the dictionary." + +But even so. one would expect some nexus between the commonly accepted meaning of a word and the definition of that word ascribed by the legislature. If, for example, the legislature defined "canine" as including cats, although one might, jurisprudentially speaking, expect to hear a meow emanate from a Great Dane, the courts should nevertheless closely examine the legislative history to see if that is really what the legislature intended. The court in Young v. O'Keefe, 246 Iowa 1182, 69 N.W.2d 534, 537 (1955), stated this principle as follows: "But + +703 So.2d 1076 +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169 +(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076) + +Page 7 + +before a definition is construed so as to expand the meaning of a well-known word to include its antonym ..., the intention of the legislature to that effect must be clear." As Judge [REDACTED] observed in *Catron v. Roger Bohn, D.C., P.A.*, 580 So.2d 814, 818 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991): + +It is our primary duty to give effect to legislative intent and, if a literal interpretation of a statute leads to unreasonable results, then we should exercise our power to interpret reason and logic to it. + +\* \* \* \* \* + +Unfortunately, it is apparent that in enacting this legislation, the legislature has, without redefining the terms for the purposes of this legislation, often used terms with commonly accepted meanings for purposes at great variance from those commonly accepted meanings. + +In our case, the legislature did define the term for the purpose of the act. But because the term (coercion) as so defined can be interpreted two ways-one consistent with the commonly accepted meaning and one at variance-we should not accept the "antonym" unless such legislative intent is clear. A free will decision, even if based on a hope of financial gain, is the opposite of a coerced decision. + +The employees urge that the mere promise of a greater reward brings them within the act. But if the mere promise of a greater reward is sufficient to establish coercion, then anyone who makes a voluntary and reasoned exercise of free will motivated by the hope of economic gain has been coerced. This definition removes the element of compulsion implicit in the commonly accepted meaning of coercion and substitutes therefor the mere desire for financial gain. The employees herein assert that since they were offered "a greater financial reward" for providing the services performed by them through defendants' establishment, they were coerced into their prostitution activities. This equates the giving + +of an opportunity to make a decision with the coercion of that decision. But subsection (I) can also mean \*1082 that the promise of a greater reward is coercion *only if* such promised reward is sufficient to overcome one's natural revulsion to selling one's body for money. If there is no such revulsion, there can be no coercion. Becoming a prostitute only because one likes the hours and wages or "because it beats the heck out of working for a living" simply should not meet the test of section 796.09(1). + +At oral argument herein, it was suggested without contradiction, that at least one of the employees has a college degree and gave up a well-paying, legitimate job in order to engage in this profession for the greater reward. Section 796.09 does not appear to be a general prostitute's relief act. It is based on a report by the Gender Bias Study Commission which recommended the equalization of treatment in relation to the prostitute, the client and the "pimp." It is based on the premise that prostitutes are generally victims of economic, physical, and psychological coercion and choose prostitution in order to survive. Further, the Commission was concerned that 90 percent of the street prostitutes are controlled by "pimps" who use a variety of coercive methods to maintain control. It seems clear that the legislature was not intending to depart from the precepts of the commonly understood meaning of "coercion" and to redefine it to include both free will decisions and compelled decisions.. The interpretation urged by the employees seems at variance with the stated goal of the legislature and the Gender Bias Commission. + +Since there is no cause of action provided for one who makes a reasoned and voluntary exercise of their free will to enter or continue in the profession solely for financial rewards (assuming "coercion" is given the definition more consistent with its commonly accepted meaning and assuming that my interpretation of legislative intent is correct), coercion becomes the critical issue in the trial of such action. The interrogatories propounded by defendants appear relevant to the issue of coercion. + +703 So.2d 1076, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2375, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D169(Cite as: 703 So.2d 1076)This is a case of first impression based on a relatively new statute. As indicated, the legislative history of the new law suggests that the statute is designed to assist those who were forced to enter prostitution in order to keep a roof over their heads or food on their table. It does not appear to be intended to aid those who voluntarily enter the profession in order to drive a Mercedes instead of a █████. The limited record before us indicates that even beginning employees of the defendants (those who do not have an established clientele) bring in \$700 a day and can keep 50% of their earnings. Based on a five-day work week, this would reflect an income of \$87,500 a year even with a two week vacation. And the employees herein are not beginners. + +There is no indication that the legislature intended to legalize prostitution or to make it a respectable profession. It merely intended to place the prostitute on the same footing with the client and the "pimp." If a prostitute voluntarily makes the decision to participate, free from force, intimidation, or disadvantageous circumstance, then he or she is on the same footing as the other participants and should be treated the same. + +Although it might well serve a legitimate public purpose to permit the cannibalistic demise of such enterprises (and I am not unsympathetic with this view), that does not appear to be the policy behind the current statute. Therefore, in cases where coercion is not present (and this may or may not be one), the court should continue its tradition of not interceding in civil conflicts involving transactions that are either illegal or are against public policy. *See Wechsler v. Novak*, 157 Fla. 703, 26 So.2d 884 (1946); █████ v. *Ratiner*, 462 So.2d 1157, 1160 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), *rev. denied*, 472 So.2d 1182 (Fla.1985) ("An action may lie for interference with an unenforceable contract and even perhaps a voidable contract.

Flagler Drive Suite 400 West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 Counsel for Defendant BY: ROBERT D. CRITTON, JR., ESQUIRE + +that but I'd just like to do that. + +THE COURT: Right. And if you want to contact the other individuals saying, you know, I'm the one that's questioning whether or not these need to be before one judge. You may have a different perspective than your colleagues who are prosecuting some of the cases. + +I understand the damages. I'm not saying consolidate. I'm saying transfer. It's not a consolidation issue. Everybody gets that confused for some reason. The words are very different out of my mouth, your mouth and how they're written. + +So let me go ahead and take a gander at this. I did read it last night. I'm not sure that we need to get -- we need names? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. Well, here's what some of the issues are is that, as an example -- if I could approach the bench. + +THE COURT: Sure. + +MR. CRITTON: This is some of the information that we've obtained through discovery from some of the -- from at least in this instance, it would be this particular Jane Doe. + +THE COURT: You know who Jane Doe is I take + +it? + +MR. CRITTON: Right. + +THE COURT: You know who the Jane Doe is? + +MR. CRITTON: Yes, correct. And so this particular lady has kept in part a diary and she -- which appears to have started some time this is not in any way significant -- but some time after she learned that she could file a lawsuit. I think she's also been to Oakwood Center some time after she learned she could file a lawsuit and seek damages from Mr. Epstein. + +There's no history of this lady beforehand other than in some of the Oakwood records where she was Baker Acted, she started drinking beer at 16, she started Xanax at 16, started marijuana at 15, that she's sexually active. + +So how she has interacted -- she has a claim for emotional damages, mental pain and anguish, psychiatric-type damages. How she's interacted with friends, with family, the events in her life, school, work, her interpersonal relationships both with men and let's -- we'll use an example men here, but other individuals. She's saying that this event with Mr. Epstein, + +this sexual assault and whatever occurred during these events is that -- has caused her damage. + +And therefore damages in the case such as the emotional, mental, psychiatric-type damages are completely subjective, I mean separate and apart from any medical bills that may be -- which are clearly intangible. So these are intangible damages. And the jury is instructed, you know, you advise the greater weight of the evidence, what's fair and reasonable under the circumstances. + +So what we would have is basically this young lady's testimony as to what she claims her damages are and what the circumstances are with her situation with Mr. Epstein. She claims on page 13, you know, I love this guy, I'm dating this guy Chris. On page 15 -- + +THE COURT: Is this part of a diary for treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: I have no idea what it is. It was just produced in response to discovery. And she apparently started in, I think this is December of '08. You know I took Jay Lyntenis' girl to the zoo, had an amazing day, I love her, i.e., the girl. We have so much fun. I want a + +baby especially with him. Okay. So I know who this person is. We are all so open together, I love him and Jay and , what do I do with Chris, who is another guy in her life. + +All right. This is circumstances where this young lady is saying, look, Jeffrey Epstein has ruined my life from a damage standpoint, okay. Let me depose other individuals with whom you've had a relationship. And what if it turns out -- as with some of these girls did -- is they had relationships or had escapades or circumstances with individuals, older men similar to Mr. Epstein well before Mr. Epstein. + +And this girl, I don't know one way or the other, but let's assume she had a situation where she was assaulted or molested or raped, ' that all is going to affect her emotional and her mental pain and anguish and it will all factor into evaluating damages. + +You know, it's not something that I'm going to spread around. I'm happy to keep it, you know, within the confines of the discovery of this case. But if she says every other relationship in my life has been perfect but Jeff Epstein has done this to me and it has affected + +my ability to trust men and my sexual relationships with other men, which is part of her interpersonal relationships, okay, let's talk to + +THE COURT: When does your client allege that she had her first encounter with Mr. Epstein? + +MR. : At what age? + +THE COURT: Well, what year? + +MR. CRITTON: June of '03. + +MR. : June of '03, Judge. + +MR. CRITTON: She claims from June of '03 through November of '04. + +MR. : She was I believe 16 at the beginning and ended at 17. She was a minor during all this time. + +THE COURT: June of '03 to now is six years. + +Let me hear from Mr. + +MR. : Judge, in the criminal case that was filed against Mr. Epstein, he would not have had a right to do this type of discovery and I -- if I could hand up -- + +THE COURT: They wouldn't care about the women. + +MR. : Right. Well, I mean -- + +1 + +2 + +3 + +4 + +5 + +6 + +7 + +8 + +9 + +10 + +11 + +12 + +13 + +14 + +15 + +16 + +17 + +18 + +19 + +20 + +21 + +22 + +23 + +24 + +25 + +THE COURT: This is damages. There's no - they weren't seeking damages at the time. + +MR. =Mt: Right. And we have not alleged in the complaint or in the answers to interrogatories that her ability to have a relationship with aman has been affected by Mr. Epstein's conduct. + +We have alleged that she has been hospitalized for depression, anxiety but we have not alleged any damages concerning -- the only reason this would be relevant is if we were making a claim at her ability to have either sexual relations or to have emotional relations with men was effected by her experience with Mr. Epstein. + +So this damages' claim is just a smoke screen to attempt to get evidence to show the jury that this woman has had other consensual relationships with young men that are approximately her age what I would characterize as a slut defense. She had it coming to her because she engaged in other voluntarily consensual -- + +THE COURT: Mr. Critton wouldn't try the slut defense in my courtroom, I'm sure. + +1 2 3 MR. : Maybe not, but certainly that's the way this discovery is going. And, Judge, what -- + +4 5 THE COURT: What are the damages you think your client is seeking? + +6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 MR. : She is seeking emotional distress damages for depression and anxiety and she has been hospitalized at the Oakwood Center. Her friend -- she was on the phone to a friend who called the sheriff's office because she thought she was suicidal. The sheriffs responded. They Baker Acted her that day and they took her eventually to the Oakwood Center. + +14 15 16 THE COURT: How do we know it's not intertwined with her rejection by three other men since Mr. Epstein? + +17 18 19 MR. : Well, even if it was related to her rejection by three other men -- you mean other men's rejection of her? + +20 21 22 23 THE COURT: Yeah. Well, how do you not know that? I mean you can't do it until you do discovery. Has anybody attempted to review the records from Oakwood to find out what's going on? + +24 25 MR. CRITTON: It's like a one-time visit when she was Baker Acted and then there's some + +other -- + +THE COURT: She didn't receive treatment? + +MR. CRITTON: She received treatment for that day and she's been back a couple of times. She's on medication. Again, I don't know what or the extent but she's got -- her medical bills are de minimis. + +Again as an example, Judge, did the Court have an opportunity to look at the case that I also attached to the motion? Because there's a case that's almost on all fours with this which I attached to our motion which is called Balles versus Russo. + +THE COURT: Right. + +MR. CRITTON: It was a case where the plaintiff was sued -- the plaintiff sued the former owners of a house of prostitution. So that part is different, but within it there were a number of claims including a sexual assault claim and they sought emotional pain, humiliation and emotional distress. + +Within the complaint that was filed in this particular case, she is seeking severe emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, past and future, compensatory + +humiliation, loss of reputation, mental anguish, pain and suffering, the same type of damages. And what the Court said -- + +THE COURT: How old is she now? + +MR. : She's 21 now. + +MR. CRITTON: She's 21 now. What the Court said is, you know, if you'd only brought this claim under 796 evidence of past issues, it's not an issue. You can't use this defense for anything, but because you brought these other claims which include, you know, sexual assault and you're seeking damages for other causes of action since the information sought by discovery may be relevant or may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in one or more of the other causes of action or determination of damages, we cannot conclude the trial court parted from essential requirements of law in granting -- + +THE COURT: So in other words, she's not only seeking -- she's seeking current emotional damage as a result of this relationship and you're trying to find out if she had prior relationships that perhaps could be intertwined with it so that it's not just Mr. Epstein's -- + +MR. CRITTON: Right. A perfect example is + +one of the cases that I have is there's ayoung lady who claims that she was molested in the past and raped, pretty significant issues, well in advance of her even meeting with Mr. Epstein. And they seem to play a large role in her psychiatric and psychological evaluation. + +We're going to come to the Court in this case as we have others and ask for a psychological evaluation of this lady, and if she was raped or if she was molested or just she had abad experience or some -- whether it was a young or old man assaulted her in some fashion, that may play a role in her damages and what -- + +THE COURT: What I'm going to allow for discovery purposes only not necessarily getting it in at the time trial are two years before her first encounter with Mr. Epstein and anything subsequent. + +MR. IIIIII: Judge, I just wanted to say on the record because I forgot to mention it, there's also -- I did state an objection to the identity of people that are unrepresented in this courtroom. They have rights too. So what I -- + +THE COURT: Well, my suggestion is that you send those people a letter and tell them that + +you're going to disclose them and if they have a problem with it that they come to see me before you disclose it. + +So I'm going to give you 20 days to respond to this rather than the usual five and that will give you time to put these people on notice and if they want to come visit with me and have a John Doe, I'll have aJohn Doe hearing but, you know, this is her case. She's doing it. She's the one seeking damages, and he is entitled to be able to confront other individuals to find out information that may be relevant to the damages she's seeking or she can drop the damages. That's her choice. If you seek damages, you've got to do it -- if you could put that in an order so that we have atime for him to do this. + +Just fill out an order, hand it back up to me and I'll deal with it. + +(The proceedings were concluded.) + +1 + +2 + +3 + +4 + +5 + +6 + +7 + +8 + +9 + +10 + +11 + +12 + +13 + +14 + +15 + +16 + +17 + +18 + +19 + +20 + +21 + +22 + +23 + +24 + +25 + +THE STATE COUNTY OF OF

COMPEL PLAINTIFF, JANE DOE NO. 3, To ANSWER DEFENDANT'S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES AND TO OVERRULE OBJECTIONS, AND FOR AN AWARD OF DEFENDANT'S REASONABLE EXPENSES + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned attorneys, moves this Court for an order compelling Plaintiff, JANE DOE No. 3 to answer Defendant's First Set of Interrogatories and to overrule her objections asserted in Plaintiffs Answers To Defendant's First Interrogatories, dated January 26, 2009. Defendant further seeks an award of his reasonable expenses, including expenses, associated with the making of this motion. Rule 37, Fed.R.Civ.P. (2008); Local Gen. Rules 7.1 and 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. 2008). In support of his motion, Defendant states: + +## Introduction + +Prior to the filing of this motion, counsel for Defendant and counsel for Plaintiff corresponded with each other and were able to resolve some of the discovery issues related to Defendant's First Interrogatories and Plaintiffs answers and objections thereto. By letter, dated March 3, 2009, the Plaintiff agreed to withdraw her "General Objections" set forth in her response. As well, issues as to interrogatories nos. 10 and 14 are presently resolved. + +Also, Defendant has filed simultaneously with this motion a Motion To Compel directed to certain of Plaintiffs Responses to Defendant's First Request To Produce, also dated January 26, 2009, and which addresses identical discovery issues. Both motions should be determined at the same time. + +# Motion To Compel Answers to Interrogatories Nos. 18, 19, 20, and 21 + +18. List separately the names, addresses and phone numbers of all males, excluding Mr. Epstein, with whom you have had sexual activity since age 10 (by year) up through your current age. Describe the nature of sexual activity, the date(s) and whether you received money or other consideration from the person + +19. List separately the names, addresses and phone numbers of all males, excluding your claims against Mr. Epstein, whom you have claimed (formally or informally) committed sexual assault or battery on you since age 10 (by year) up through your current age. Describe the nature of sexual assault or battery, the date(s) and whether you received money or other consideration from the person + +20. State the names, addresses and phone numbers of all males, excluding your claims against Mr. Epstein, whom you have claimed (formally or informally) committed lewd or lascivious conduct to you since age 10 (by year) up through your current age. Describe the lewd or lascivious conduct, the date and whether you received money or other consideration from the person + +21. State the names, addresses and phone numbers of all males, excluding your claims against Mr. Epstein, whom you have claimed (formally or informally) committed lewd or lascivious exhibition to you since age 10 (by year) up through your current age. Describe the lewd or lascivious exhibition, the date and whether you received money or other consideration from the person + +Plaintiff asserted the identical answer to each of the above stated interrogatories: + +## Answer: + +Plaintiff objects to this interrogatory as vague, overly broad, unduly burdensome, harassing, and not reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence. Moreover, this interrogatory is outrageous, offensive and apparently posed for the purpose of intimidating the victim. Fed.R.Evid. 412 makes any answer to this interrogatory inadmissible, and nothing in the answer could plausibly lead to discovery of admissible evidence. + +## Legal Argument Supporting Entitlement to Discovery + +Plaintiff does not make a relevancy objection, but instead claims that the requests are "not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," claiming that such "evidence ... would not be admissible under Fed.R.Evid. 412." Plaintiff further claims, without making any showing in her answer and without moving for a protective order in accordance with Rule 26(c) and Local Gen. Rule 26.1 H (S.D. Fla. 2008), that the interrogatory is "harassing,' "outrageous, offensive and is apparently posed for the purpose of intimidating Plaintiff." + +It is well settled that relevant information is discoverable, even if not admissible at trial, so long as the discovery is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Rule 26(b)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P.; Donahav v. Palm Beach Tours & trans. Inc., 242 F.R.D. 685 (S.D. Fla. 2007). Contrary to Plaintiffs assertion, Rule 412 does not automatically result in a determination that such sexual history and sexual activity/behavior information is never admissible. In fact, written into the Rule are the procedures to follow in determining when such information is admissible at trial. The Advisory Committee Notes to Rule 412, Fed.R.Evid, makes clear that the procedures to determine admissibility of an alleged victim's/plaintiffs sexual conduct or activity in civil cases does not apply to discovery of such information. Rather, discoverability of such information is governed by Rule 26, Fed.R.Civ.P., pursuant to which the scope of discovery is broad. Donahay, supra, at 686, and cases cited therein. "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the claims or defense of any party involved in the pending action." Id. + +Rule 412, entitled "Sex Offense Cases; Relevance of Alleged Victim's Past Sexual Behavior or Alleged Sexual Predisposition," provides in relevant part - + +(a) Evidence generally inadmissible.—The following evidence is not admissible in any civil ... proceeding involving alleged sexual misconduct except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c): + +(1) Evidence offered to prove that any alleged victim engaged in other sexual behavior. + +(2) Evidence offered to prove any alleged victim's sexual predisposition. + +(b) Exceptions.— + +(2) In a civil case, evidence offered to prove the sexual behavior or sexual predisposition of any alleged victim is admissible if it is otherwise admissible under these rules and its probative value substantially outweighs the danger of harm to any victim and of unfair prejudice to any party. Evidence of an alleged victim's reputation is admissible only if it has been placed in controversy by the alleged victim. + +(c) Procedure to determine admissibility.-- + +(1) A party intending to offer evidence under subdivision (b) must- + +(A) file a written motion at least 14 days before trial specifically describing the evidence and stating the purpose for which it is offered unless the court, for good cause requires a different time for filing or permits filing during trial; and + +(B) serve the motion on all parties and notify the alleged victim or, when appropriate, the alleged victim's guardian or representative. + +(2) Before admitting evidence under this rule the court must conduct a hearing in camera and afford the victim and parties a right to attend and be heard. The motion, related papers, and the record of the hearing must be sealed and remain under seal unless the court orders otherwise. + +In confirming that Rule 412 does not control the discoverability of such information, the Advisory Committee Notes (1994 Amendments) state - + +The procedures set forth in subdivision (c) do not apply to discovery of a victim's past sexual conduct or predisposition in civil cases, which will be continued to be governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26. In order not to undermine the rationale of Rule 412, however, courts should enter appropriate orders pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 (c) to protect the victim against unwarranted inquiries and to ensure confidentiality. Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that + +the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case, and cannot be obtained except through discovery. In an action for sexual harassment, for instance, while some evidence of the alleged victim's sexual behavior and/or predisposition in the workplaceal. &perhaps be relevant, non-work place conduct will usually be irrelevant. Cf. v. McGregor Electronic Industries, Inc., 989 F.2d 959, 962- 63 (8th Cir. 1993) (posing for a nude magazine outside work hours is irrelevant to issue of unwelcomeness of sexual advances at work). Confidentiality orders should be presumptively granted as well. + +(Emphasis added). + +In accordance with Rule 412 and Rule 26, the discovery sought regarding Plaintiffs sexual activity with males, including whether she received any compensation or consideration therefore, in interrogatory no. 18, whether she claims other males committed sexual assault or battery on her in no. 19, whether she claims other males committed lewd and lascivious conduct to her in no. 20, and whether other males committed lewd or lascivious exhibition to her in no. 21, are all relevant to Plaintiffs damages claims and the type of injury she claims she has suffered. Defendant has no other means of obtaining such information and obtaining such information through Plaintiff will better protect the confidentiality until the Court can make a determination in accordance with the procedures under Rule 412(c) whether such information will be admissible at trial. See Rule 412(c) quoted above. Defendant will agree to an order keeping the confidentiality of the information obtained through discovery. + +The evidence sought is relevant based on the facts and theories of this action. In her Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attempts to allege claims in Count I for "Sexual Assault and Battery," Count II for "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," and in Count III for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 U.S.C.A. §2422," and seeks damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a). (Plaintiff alleges + +diversity of citizenship as a basis for this Court's jurisdiction. 2d Am. Complaint, ¶5). Counts I and II are brought pursuant to state law. + +In her complaint, Plaintiff alleges that "she has suffered and will continue to suffer severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages," and "severe mental anguish and pain." She also seeks compensatory damages for her alleged injuries. 2d Am. Complaint,¶¶21, 27, 33, and "Wherefore" clauses. In her answers to interrogatories nos. 9 and 10, Plaintiff further states that: + +Plaintiff has suffered severe psychological and emotional injuries, including without limitation, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, guilt, self-blame, feelings of being degraded, feeling unattractive, diminished sense of femininity, fluctuations in weight/appetite, sexual intimacy problems, flashbacks, disturbing memories, stress, irritability, feelings of being isolated and trapped, diminished trust, social problems, problems in personal relationships, indecisiveness, lower energy, lower ambition and initiative, headaches, back pain, feels stress (particularly around men), obsessive thoughts, problems concentrating, alcohol abuse, corruption of morals and values, loss of innocence, and cries a lot. (Interrog. No. 9). + +... she seeks damages arising from her psychological and emotional injuries. These damages include pain and suffering, costs of psychological care and treatment, and loss of earning capacity. ... (Interrog. No. 10). + +Plaintiff also alleges that " a Palm Beach Community College student," was a part of "Epstein's plan and scheme (which) reflected a particular pattern and method" in the alleged recruiting of girl's to come to EPSTEIN's Palm Beach mansion and give him "massages" in exchange for money. 2nd Am. Complaint, ¶10-12. According to the complaint allegations — "Upon information and belief Epstein has a sexual preference and obsession for underage minor girls." ¶8. The "girl would be led up a flight of stairs to a bedroom that contained a massage table ... The girl would be alone with EPSTEIN; "Epstein would then perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation and touching the girl sexually." 2nd Am. Complaint, + +¶11, 12. Plaintiff alleges that "in 2004-2005," she, "then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." ¶8. Plaintiff alleges that Epstein "sexually assaulted" her and "masturbated during the massage." ¶12 Plaintiff further alleges that "Epstein committed willful acts of child sexual abuse" on her, which resulted in "mental or sexual injury," and "caused or likely to cause Jane Doe's mental or emotional health to be significantly impaired." 2d Am. Complaint, ¶25. + +The information sought is clearly relevant to the injuries and damages claimed by Plaintiff. The nature of her claimed injuries and damages are such that Defendant is entitled to evidence which would show the nature of her relationship with males, whether she has suffered other acts of sexual misconduct as alleged in her complaint, and whether she suffered injury and damages as a result of the other claimed sexual misconduct with males. See United States v. Bear Stops, 997 F.2d 451 (8th Cir. 1993)(Defendant charged with sexual abuse of six year old boy was entitled to admission of evidence relating to victim's sexual assault by 3 older boys to establish alternative explanation for why victim exhibited behavioral manifestations of sexually abused child.). + +In further support of Defendant's motion, a copy of Balas v. Ruzzo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998), is attached hereto as Exhibit A as it is on point to the discovery issues in this action, and the relevancy and discoverability of Plaintiffs history of sexual activity and any payment, therefore. See interrogatories 8, 22 and 30 propounded in the Balas case and footnote 1 herein. + +In Balas v. Ruzzo, supra, the Plaintiffs alleged a multicount complaint including claims for "coercion of prostitution" pursuant to §796.09, Fla. Stat.; for battery for the unwanted and offensive touching of petitioners' bodies; false imprisonment for physically confining the petitioners against their will; invasion of privacy; and intentional infliction of emotional distress. + +Additionally and significantly, in other pending state court civil actions against Defendant EPSTEIN attempting to assert similar claims and damages, the Circuit Court Judges have already ruled that such information is discoverable as it is relevant to the damages claims of Plaintiff. See Composite Exhibits B and C hereto. Composite Exhibit B are the Orders, dated February 23, 2009, entered in the case of A.C. v. Epstein, and Case No. 502008CA025129 MB AI, 15th Judicial Circuit, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida, which granted Defendant's motion to compel therein directed to discovery identical to interrogatory no. 18 above, and to requests for production nos. 17 and 18 addressed below herein. (In the A.C. case, the Plaintiff answered without objection interrogatories identical to nos. 19, 20, and 21 herein.) Composite Exhibit C is a portion the transcript from a March 3, 2009 hearing on Defendant's motion to compel discovery in the case of Jane Doe II v. Epstein, and Case No. 502008CA020614 MB AF, 15th Judicial Circuit Court, In and For Palm Beach County, State of Florida. Again, the Circuit Court Judge determined that the information sought is relevant to the issue of damages and, thus, discoverable. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court grant his motion to compel and award his attorney's fees and costs, associated with this motion, in accordance with Rule 37, Fed.R.Civ.P., and applicable Local Rules. + +## Rule 7.1 Certification + +I hereby certify that counsel for the respective parties communicated by letters in a good faith effort to resolve the discovery issues prior to the fili of this motion to compel.

In support, Defendant states: + +### I. RESPONSE WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW AS TO DEPOSITION OF JANE DOE. NO.3 AND MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE + +#### a. The Depositions + +Plaintiff, Jane Doe No. 3, filed this federal lawsuit against Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein. In other separate matters, Plaintiffs, Jane Does, Nos. 2, 4-7, filed their own separate lawsuits against Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein. Plaintiff's counsel represents all Jane Does in cases Jane Doe Nos. 2 through 7 before this court. + +Plaintiff, Jane Doe. No. 3, served answers to interrogatories wherein she lists certain witness that may have knowledge regarding the facts and allegations alleged in her complaint including, but not limited to, Jane Doe No. 2. See Exhibit "A", Answer to Interrogatories, No. 5, in redacted form. An unredacted copy of the responses will be provided to the court upon the court's request and/or in camera. In particular, the response to interrogatory number 5 states that Jane Doe numbers 2 and 3 accompanied each other to Defendant's estate. Plaintiff admits this much in her Motion. Defendant seeks to take the deposition of Jane Doe. No. 3 as a witness in that matter (or any other matter she has knowledge of) and as a party in her own case, which she is an unidentified Plaintiff traveling under Jane Doe. No. 3. + +In an attempt to resolve this matter by letter correspondence, Defendant agreed and offered only to take the deposition of Jane Doe. No. 3 as a witness in all Jane Doe 2-7 cases only one time and separately one time as a Party Plaintiff in this matter in which Jane Doe No. 3 filed against Jeffrey Epstein. While this is a reasonable compromise in that Defendant has agreed not to take her deposition three (3) times as Plaintiff suspected, Plaintiff's counsel refused to agree. Plaintiff cannot file a lawsuit and then expect this court to protect her from being deposed as a party for the time period proscribed under the federal rules while at the same time asking this court to limit or prevent her deposition testimony as a witness in the instant matter or other Jane Doe matters where she has been identified as a witness. + +It is well settled that a Defendant may take the deposition of a party and/or a witness before trial. Rule 26, Fed.R.Civ. P., Rule 30, Fed.R. Civ.,P. and Leve v. General Motors Corp., 43 F.R.D. 508 (S.D.N.Y. 2967). Jane Doe. Nos. 2-7 commenced separate civil actions upon the filing of same against Jeffrey Epstein. Therefore, Defendant is entitled to depose Jane Doe Nos. 2 -7 in their own cases at least one time for the proscribed time periods and then as a witness in the instant matter or any matter they have knowledge of as reflected in the interrogatory responses or the pleadings. Therefore, Defendant has a right to depose each party-plaintiff separately and then as awitness at least once. Deposing Jane Doe No. 3 as awitness in the companion matters is necessary as that deposition will be tailored toward facts known by Jane Doe. No. 3 as those facts pertain to Jane Doe. Nos. 2, 4-7 claims in their complaints as opposed to the facts alleged by Jane Doe. No. 3 in this individual action. + +Plaintiff's attorneys claim that sitting for more than one deposition will be traumatizing does not modify the rules and/or the law with regard to the right to take party and witness depositions. Plaintiff offers no expert medical or psychological support, by an affidavit of an expert or the Plaintiff herself, to support her position. In almost all instances, none of the Plaintiffs sought or received any psychological counseling until the concept of alawsuit and money was introduced. A party may, by oral questions take the deposition of any person, without leave of court. Rule 30, Fed.R. Civ.,P. Conducting these depositions separately will allow for the proper preparation as to each deponent's knowledge as that knowledge pertains to the specific case at hand (i.e., whether the deponent is awitness and/or a party plaintiff). Again, Defendant is willing to conduct one (1) deposition in connection with each matter before this court wherein a party to one matter is listed as a"witness" in another. That is, if Jane Doe No. 3 has knowledge as awitness to one or more matters, one "witness" deposition will be held. However, Defendant is also permitted to separately take a party-plaintiff deposition of any partyplaintiff that happens to be awitness of and/or have knowledge of any other party-plaintiff's deposition. As such, only two depositions will occur. + +There is no legal basis supporting Plaintiffs proposition that Defendant not be allowed to take the deposition of Jane Doe. No. 3 as awitness in the other matters and as aparty-plaintiff in + +Jane Doe. No.3's separately filed action. In fact, Plaintiff's theory flies in the face of the Federal Rules. Despite Plaintiff's contention, Defendant is not attempting to depose or call a witness for a second deposition without leave of court. Quite the opposite, Plaintiff is simply doing what the rules allow for — the taking of a deposition of a party and a witness. + +# b. Consolidation For Discovery Is Not Practical + +Next, if this case is consolidated for discovery purposes and depositions are limited only to one (1) deposition for a party plaintiff and for a witness that happens to be a party plaintiff in another matter, then confusion will result and motions in limine will undoubtedly be filed at a later date preventing the use of certain testimony at particular hearings and ultimately at trial. Further, since there remain separate party-plaintiffs, admissions or answers to discovery by one party, arguably, cannot be used by the Defendant in a consolidated discovery matter against another party-plaintiff. As such, consolidation in the instant matter is not warranted in that not all common issues of fact are present and the parties are not identical. Kelly v. Kelly, 911 F.Supp. 66 (N.D. NY 1996)(consolidation refused because it would only serve purpose of convenience of some witnesses, actions did not share all witnesses and parties were not identical); Borough of Olvphant v. PPL Corporation et al., 153 Fed.Appx. 80, 2005 WL 2673489 (C.A.3 (P.A.)); Motor Credit Company v. Chiorazzo, 529 F.Supp.2d 535 (D. N.J. 2008). + +Under Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 42, the decision to consolidate cases for discovery is not mandatory but that decision remains within the sound discretion of the court. In this instance, various Jane Does seek to consolidate the cases for discovery purposes. Very clearly, the facts and circumstances, as pled and as is reflected in answers to interrogatories, are different for each individual, i.e. the dates, the ages, the events, their experiences, witnesses, medical and/or psychological treatment, etc. Each of the Plaintiffs alleged incident history and post + +incident history and background is unique to those individuals. While the Jane Doe Plaintiffs may wish to serve a "standard" set of interrogatories, request for production, or any other type of discovery, the Defendant's discovery to the individual Plaintiffs, and certainly their responses, is unique to that individual. There will be multiple instances where the discovery is applicable only to a specific Jane Doe and not all, such as, physicians, psychologists, parents, siblings, friends, employers, teachers, individuals with whom the Plaintiff has had relationships — many of these depositions will go to damage related issues wherein the Plaintiffs seek millions of dollars in the form of compensation. + +There are some instances where the deposition of a particular individual may be applicable to all cases, and defense counsel will suggest, as he did in correspondence directed to Plaintiff's counsel that that particular deposition be used in all cases. However, in a vast majority of the instances where discovery, deposition and/or paper discovery is being utilized, including subpoena which will be sent to many different sources for each of the six Jane Does, consolidation serves no purpose. + +Even if this court consolidated the matters requested by Plaintiff, the undersigned would still be entitled to additional time to depose any party-plaintiff that is also listed or who has knowledge of any aspect of any other party-plaintiff's claim against Jeffrey Epstein. In addition, this Court has before it each of the cases filed by certain Plaintiffs against Jeffrey Epstein. Therefore, there is no chance of "conflicting results" as to rulings made by the same court and the same judge. As such, no true need exists for consolidation. Under Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 42, consolidation for discovery is not required, but remains within the sound discretion of the court. + +# II. Conclusion + +In sum, if Jane Doe No. 3 has knowledge as a witness to one or more matters, one "witness" deposition will be held as to her witness knowledge. However, Defendant is also permitted to separately take Jane Doe. No. 3's deposition as a party-plaintiff. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court deny the Motion, enter an order allowing for the relief requested herein and for such other re f as this court deems just and proper. + +> By: ROBERT D.

I + +#### REPLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO COMPEL ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES AND PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS + +Plaintiff, by and through undersigned counsel, files this Reply Memorandum in Support of Motion to Compel Answers to Interrogatories and Production of Documents, as follows: + +## I. Introduction + +Defendant relies upon generalizations regarding the nature of the case and the allegations in the pleadings in justifying his assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege in response to each and every interrogatory and document request propounded by Plaintiffs. This blanket assertion of the privilege is insufficient to deny Plaintiffs all discovery in these cases. Defendant otherwise fails to set forth any basis for denying Plaintiffs any and all answers to its written discovery under the psychotherapist-patient privilege, the Federal Rules of Evidence, on grounds of relevance, third party privacy rights, or other grounds. Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request an Order compelling answers to interrogatories and production of documents. + +## II. Argument in Reply + +### A. Defendant Has Made a Blanket Assertion of the Privilege Against Self-Incrimination That Is Insufficient + +### 1. Defendant Cannot Rely on its Blanket Objections to Interrogatories on Fifth Amendment Grounds + +Defendant Epstein insists that he has not asserted a "blanket privilege" to discovery under the Fifth Amendment, even though he has repeated the identical objection to each of Plaintiff's discovery request on this ground. The federal courts have noted that "[t]he term 'blanket assertion' is not limited to the situation where the defendant makes a single response to numerous questions." United States v. Buaiz 2008 WL 5050102 (E.D. Tenn. 2008). Rather, as here, where the defendant refuses to answer on fifth amendment grounds each and every question, such repeated assertions are fairly characterized as a "blanket assertion". Id.; Capitol Products Corp. v. Herron, 457 F.2d 541 (8th Cir. 1972). + +Accordingly, it is not sufficient to support the invocation of the Fifth Amendment with nothing more than sweeping generalizations applicable to all questions that were asked in discovery. See United States v. Pierce, 561 F.2d 735 (9th Cir. 1977), cert. denied, 435 U.S. 923 (1978) ("a blanket refusal to answer any question is unacceptable"). + +Defendant Epstein's Response does not set forth reasonable cause for a concern of selfincrimination in response to specific interrogatories. It is particularly deficient with regard to interrogatory, nos. 1-2 (identity of employees who worked or came to Palm Beach residence), no. 7 (Defendant's presence in Florida), no. 8 (identity of health care providers), no. 9 (persons providing transport services), no. 11 (Epstein's telephone numbers) and no. 12 (employees' telephone numbers). Epstein's references to allegations of sexual abuse, exploitation and battery in the Complaints in this and other civil actions against him, along with the alleged plan and scheme of recruiting girls to come to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion to give him "massages", fall well short of demonstrating that any interrogatory asked of Epstein that is relevant and within the broad scope of Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1) would realistically and necessarily furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against him. + +Epstein alternatively points out that there is a "narrow exception" which allows a blanket assertion of the privilege where the trial court determines it to be legitimate based on the court's knowledge of the case and the expected testimony. United States v. Goodwin 625 F.2d 693, 701 (5th Cir. 1980); United States v. Tsui 646 F.2d 365 (9th Cir. 1981). This is not a case, however, where this narrow exception should apply. In Tsui, the Court allowed a blanket assertion of the privilege only because it was clear that the witness would only be questioned about the real estate transactions that were at the heart of his criminal liability concerns, and the proponent of the testimony argued only that the witness did not have a reasonable fear of prosecution. Id. at 368. Such unusual circumstances are not present in the instant cases. Because a blanket assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege is not legitimate in these cases, the Court must make a "particularized inquiry", and "only as to genuinely threatening questions should [the witness's] silence be sustained." Goodwin, 625 F.2d at 701 (quoting United States v. Melchor Moreno, 536 F.2d 1042, 1049 (5th Cir. 1976)). + +Defendant further asserts that Plaintiff's interrogatories requesting that he identify employees may lead to evidence tending to incriminate him because one of his employees, is identified in the Complaint. (Defendant Memorandum (DE 56), p. 18). This does not, however, support a blanket refusal to answer on Fifth Amendment grounds. It does not demonstrate how answers to these interrogatories, seeking the identities of all employees who were assigned or came to the Palm Beach residence, could realistically furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute Epstein. + +Similarly, the allegations of the Complaints alone do not reveal the danger of selfincrimination from answers to interrogatories seeking information on when Epstein was in the State of Florida, who provided transportation services to Epstein, his telephone numbers, his employees' telephone numbers, and his health care providers.' Discovery requests that seek background information or information on events and experiences of the witness for which he cannot realistically or genuinely be expected to be charged with a crime are not subject to Fifth Amendment protection. Sse Krause v. 390 F.Supp 1070, 1071-72 (N.D. Ohio 1974) (allowing questions to be asked regarding personal backgrounds and experiences excluding the event at issue in the pending criminal indictment). + +### 2. Defendant Has Not Demonstrated That the Act of Producing Documents in Response to Specific Requests Would be Sufficiently Testimonial and Incriminating + +Defendant Epstein makes a general assertion that a response to any of Plaintiff's document requests would entail testimonial self-incrimination. (Defendant's Response (DE 56), pp. 22-23). Whether the act of producing a particular document would be sufficiently testimonial and incriminatory to support the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is a "fact dependent inquiry." United States v. Wujkowski 929 F.2d 981, 985 (4th Cir. 1991). It is the burden of the party asserting the privilege to "explain how the act of producing documents would pose a real danger of incrimination." Bear Stems & Co. v. Wyler, 182 F.Supp. 2d 679, 681 (N.D. Ill. 2002). + +Defendant's reliance on United States v. Hubbell 530 U.S. 27 (2000), is inadequate. In Hubbell it was apparent from the breadth of the description of documents demanded in the government's subpoena that "the prosecutor needed respondent's assistance both to identify + +' See Interrogatory nos. 7, 8, 10, 11, 12. + +potential sources of information and to produce those sources." Id. at 41. In Bear Sterns, the Court explained that the facts of Hubbell were unique and do not support a blanket, all-encompassing assertion by a witness or party that the production of documents would be testimonial and incriminating: + +> To begin with, in Hubei!, the incriminatory nature of the production of the document sought was obvious. The respondent was already incarcerated as a result of one investigation and he was the target of a second. Indeed, the second investigation was directed at whether the respondent was in compliance with a plea agreement-resulting from the first investigation-requiring him to produce information relating to the Whitewater investigation. If the respondent had produced such information in response to the subpoena, it would have constituted testimony that he had Whitewater information that he had not provided-it would be an admission that he failed to comply with the plea agreement. Accordingly, it was the testimonial aspect of the production that concerned the Court in Hubbell, 530 U.S. at 36-44 120 S.Ct. at 2043-48. At the appellate court level, the court specifically found that respondent's acknowledgment of the existence of certain records sought in the government's subpoena would be directly incriminating. Hubbell, 167 F.3d at 582. + +Id. at 683. + +As noted by the Court in Bear Stems, a determination that the production of documents would be testimonial cannot be premised on the witness's say so: + +> A witness is not exonerated from answering merely because he declares that in so doing he would incriminate himself; his assertion does not of itself establish the hazard of incrimination. + +Id. at 684. In Bear Sterns the Court found that the defendant failed to meet his burden in asserting the privilege against self-incrimination in response to a request for production that included wire transfer records, telephone records, bank records, and records pertaining to specific investment firms. Id. Plaintiffs seek in their document requests, among other things, telephone records, travel records, correspondence and communications, and personal calendars and diaries. The act of producing such records is not a crime. See id. ("[a]s the plaintiff notes, it is not a crime to make a + +wire transfer, use the phone, or possess corporate records"). Defendant Epstein has failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that the document requests made by Plaintiffs in these cases would pose a real danger of incrimination. As in Bear Stems the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Production of Documents should accordingly be granted. + +### B. Defendant Epstein Fails to Demonstrate Why His Invocation of the Fifth Amendment Would Not Warrant an Adverse Interest In These Civil Cases + +Defendant Epstein does not dispute the general rule that an adverse inference may be drawn in a civil case from a defendant's refusal to testify or respond to discovery by invoking the privilege against self incrimination. Baxter v. Palmigiano 425 U.S. 308, 318-20 (1976). He instead asserts that there is a "recognized exception" that applies in a case where the adverse inference is the sole basis for the plaintiff's prima facie case or will cause the automatic entry of summary judgment. (Defendant's Response, (DE 56), pp. 14-15); Federal Trade Comm'n v. Transnet Wireless Corp., 506 F.Supp. 2d 1247, 1252 n. 4 (S.D. Ha. 2007). This exception plainly would not apply hem. There are witnesses other than Defendant to the acts and conduct alleged in these cases, including Plaintiffs and other victims. See Transnet Wireless, 506 F.Supp. 2d at 1252 n. 4 (holding that the Court "will draw adverse inferences where appropriate" in reviewing a motion for summary judgment, "in light of the myriad evidence presented by plaintiff'). + +In any event, it would be premature at this stage of the case for the Court to foreclose the use of an adverse inference from the Defendant's invocation of the privilege against self-incrimination. This issue would arise either in a motion for summary judgment or a motion in limine. Accordingly, based on the foregoing, Defendant's self-serving assertion in his discovery responses concerning the drawing of an adverse inference is improper, and should be rejected and stricken. + +### C. Plaintiff Is Entitled to Discovery of Health Care Information Requested In Interrogatory No. 8 + +Defendant Epstein argues that Plaintiff's Interrogatory no. 8 is overbroad because it seeks information over a ten year period. As to Defendant Epstein's psychological condition, particularly any problem of a sexual nature, ten years is more than reasonable. My psychosexual condition has likely existed for most or all of Defendant Epstein's adult life. + +Defendant Epstein next asserts Florida's psychotherapist-patient privilege under Florida Statute §90.503(2). As set forth in Plaintiff's Motion, the allegations of child sexual abuse in this case bring into play the exception to the psychotherapist-patient privilege of Florida Statute §39.204. Defendant asserts that this Court is required to hold an in camera inspection of documents to determine, as to each document, whether Florida Statute §39.204 is applicable. See Doherty v. John Doe No. 22, 957 So.2d 1267 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007). Plaintiff agrees that such an in camera inspection would be appropriate to evaluate whether the documents relate to allegations of child sexual abuse. In this regard, any notes or records relating to Epstein's sexual interests or tendencies produced in an in camera inspection would be relevant and should be turned over to Plaintiff as falling within the exception of §39.204. + +### D. Third Party Privacy Rights Are Not a Basis to Deny Discovery + +The right to privacy discussed in Eisenstadt v. Baird, 405 U.S. 438, 454 (1972), has nothing to do with the discovery issues in this case. Eisenstadt concerns the distribution of a contraceptive device. Yet Defendant relies entirely on Eisenstadt in contending that third party privacy rights provide a basis for Defendant to object to discovery in this case. The vague argument and unsupported assertion raised by Defendant in this case, "that the privacy rights of third parties are implicated", is frivolous and must be rejected. + +### E. Plaintiff Is Entitled In Discovery to Documents Relating to Plea Agreements and Criminal Proceedings + +Defendant asserts that Plaintiff should not be entitled to receive any documents responsive to her Request nos. 1-4 for the sole reason that these documents would not themselves be admissible under Fed.R.Evid. 408 and 410. It is well established that broad discovery under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 should not, without more, be limited on the basis of admissibility at trial. ao\_Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 (1946 Advisory Committee Note). (Rule 26(b) "may cover not only evidence for use at the trial but also inquiry into matters in themselves inadmissible as evidence but which will lead to the discovery of such evidence. The purpose of discovery is to allow a broad search for facts, the names of witnesses, or any other matters which may aid a party in the preparation or presentation of his case"). Accordingly, the fact alone that plea agreements and related documents may not be admissible at trial is not a basis to deny their production in discovery.2 In Cupac, Inc. v. Mid-West Agency. Inc., 100 F.R.D. 440 (S.D. Ohio 1983), the Court held on these grounds that a party could obtain discovery relating to a criminal plea, including the answers to questions asked by the prosecutor, even though this information would be inadmissible under Fed.R.Evid. 410. Any concerns regarding the disclosure of documents responsive to request nos. 1-4 could be addressed in an appropriate protective order. Plaintiffs and their counsel, however, should have these documents in discovery. + +### F. An In Camera Hearing May Be Appropriate To Determine Whether Defendant Properly Claims Privilege In Response To Interrogatories And Document Reuuests + +Given the fact intensive nature of the inquiry into whether a defendant has met his burden in asserting a privilege against self-incrimination, some courts have conducted in camera, ex pane hearings to determine whether assertions of the privilege are valid in each instance. See United + +'Plaintiff further notes that her document request no. 4 seeks documents obtained in discovery and investigation of the criminal cases, not documents pertaining to the plea agreement. Accordingly, Rules 408 and 410 could not serve as a basis to object to these requests.

States v. Duncan 704 F.Supp 820 (N.D. 111. 1989); see also United States v. Wujkowski 929 F.2d 981, 986 (4th Cir. 1991) ("[w]e hold only that the district court must undertake a more careful examination of the documents in question and provide a basis for its findings"). To the extent that this Court is in doubt as to whether to uphold the Defendant's privilege claim as to any particular document request or interrogatory, then an in camera hearing would be appropriate.

III. Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, and for the reasons stated in Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Answers to Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents and Incorporated Memorandum of Law, Plaintiff requests that Defendant Epstein be ordered to answer interrogatories and produce responsive documents.

counsel, file this Memorandum in Opposition to Stay and or Continue Action, as follows: + +## L Introduction + +In moving for stay, Defendant has the burden of demonstrating that, due to a parallel criminal proceeding, if he exercises his right against self incrimination he will certainly lose on summary judgment unless a stay is granted. Defendant has failed to satisfy this burden. There is no pending motion for summary judgment. There is also no criminal proceeding at this time arising from Epstein's acts against the Plaintiffs or other victims. Indeed, whether such a criminal proceeding is ever commenced is entirely within the Defendant's control, by complying with the terms of his Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office. Defendant relies upon an amorphous possible breach of his Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney, which does not give rise to the "special circumstances" necessary to warrant a stay. Finally, even if there were grounds for a stay, it would not be appropriate in these cases because Plaintiffs would be severely prejudiced by the delay occasioned by a stay. + +# II. Argument + +#### A. Defendant Has Not Demonstrated that He Faces a Certain Loss on Summary Judgment If a Stay Is Not Granted + +The Constitution doe not require a stay of civil proceedings pending the outcome of criminal proceedings involving a common defendant. Shell Oil Co. v. Altina Associates. Inc. 866 F.Supp. 536, 540 (M.D. Fla. 1994). A stay pending resolution of related criminal proceedings is warranted only when the defendant demonstrates that " 'special circumstances' so require in the `interests of justice.' " United States v. Lot 5. Fox Grove 23 F.3d 359, 365 (11th Cir. 1994). + +In the Eleventh Circuit, the "special circumstances" which may support a stay are limited. The fact that the Defendant may "risk a non-criminal disadvantage by remaining silent for fear of self incrimination in a parallel criminal proceeding does not rise to the level of an unconstitutional infringement."2 Shell Oil 866 F.Supp. at 540. Accordingly, the Defendant's right to silence is not a basis to stay the civil case pending resolution of a criminal action. Id. There is one exception applicable where a stay would be necessary to prevent an unconstitutional infringement of the + +' Defendant Epstein filed an identical Motion to Stay in the case Jane Doe v. Epstein, case no. 08- CIV 80893 MAR1a. Plaintiffs concur in the arguments made by Jane Doe's counsel in that case in opposition to Defendant's Motion. (Case no. 08-CIV 80893, DE 31). The same reasoning and arguments apply in the instant cases. Plaintiffs in this Memorandum will attempt to stream line and limit its arguments to avoid unnecessary repetition and duplication with the response in Jane Doe. + +'In this regard, The Defendant's silence by invoking the Fifth Amendment does not prohibit adverse inferences against him in the civil case. Shell Oil, 866 F.Supp. at 40.

defendant's right against self incrimination: "[T]he law in the Eleventh Circuit requires consideration of whether, as a result of invoking the privilege, the defendant faces certain loss of the civil proceeding on summary judgment if the civil proceeding were to continue." In re Financial Federation Title & Trust. Inc. 252 B.R. 834, 837 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. 2000)3 (citing United States v. Lot 5 23 F.3d at 364); accord Shell Oil 866 F.Supp. at 540 (noting that there is a "recognized exception to this general rule: the Fifth Amendment is violated when a person, who is a defendant in both a civil and criminal case, is forced to choose between waiving his privilege against selfincrimination or losing the civil case in [summary proceedings]").

The cases relied upon by Defendant are consistent with these authorities. In Ventura v. Broskv, 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), the Court stated the rule that a stay is warranted to avoid a situation "where a defendant in both criminal and civil proceedings must choose between whether to waive his privilege against self-incrimination or to lose the civil case in summary or default judgment proceedings." Id. at \*I. Moreover, the stay in Ventura was granted on motion of the defendant Miami-Dade County Police Department because it would be prejudiced by its codefendant, a former police officer, asserting the Fifth Amendment and refusing to answer "in response to the civil Complaint and any discovery directed at him in the case." Id. Such concerns involving prejudice to a codefendant are not present here. In Securities and Exchange Comm' n v. Rehtorik 755 F.Supp. 1018 (S.D. Fla. 1990), another case relied upon by Defendant, the Court denied a stay of the case, and made clear in its holding that the defendant had not demonstrated that it would be subject to "automatic liability" on a motion for summary judgment:

'The Court in Financial Federation Title & Trust noted that the standard in the Eleventh Circuit is "more narrow and less subjective" than in other Circuits where a multi-factor test is used. Id. at 837.

The defendants can exercise their Fifth Amendment rights in the face of the S.E.C.'s summary judgment motion by not presenting evidence which would implicate them in the alleged securities fraud. Though an adverse inference may be drawn due to their silence, the S.E.C. must still carry its burden of proving fraud committed by the defendants; their silence alone will not give rise to automatic liability.

As such, the defendants would not be compelled to speak. To speak or not to speak becomes, in such a case, a question of strategy rather than one of unconstitutional compulsion.

1.4. at 1020.

Accordingly, the Defendant's Motion to Stay is, at best, premature. Defendant Epstein fails to demonstrate that he is certain to lose on summary judgment if he exercises his constitutional right against self-incrimination. Indeed, there is no summary judgment motion pending. Defendant's Motion to Stay must accordingly be denied.

B. This Court Has Previously Made It Clear That a Stay is Not Warranted, and Circumstances Have Not Changed

Defendant previously moved for a mandatory stay pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3509(k). This Court denied that Motion on the grounds that there was no criminal action pending, a requirement for a stay under §3509(k). (DE 33). The Court in its Opinion also stated that a discretionary stay was not warranted:

The Court also does not believe a discretionary stay is warranted ... [T]he Court sees no reason to delay this litigation for the next thirtythree months. After all, Defendant is in control of his own destiny it is up to him (and him alone) whether the plea agreement reached with the State of Florida is breached. If Defendant does not breach the agreement, then he should have no concerns regarding his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The fact that the U.S. Attorney (or other law enforcement officials) may object to some discovery in these civil cases is not, in an of itself, a reason to stay the civil action. Any such issues shall be resolved as they arise in the course of this litigation.

(Order Denying Motion to Stay, p. 4). In again seeking a stay, Defendant seized on the last sentence

quoted above and takes it out of context in contending that the time is now ripe for a stay. The Court stated that issues arising in the event that the U.S. Attorney or other law enforcement officials object to discovery can be resolved during the course of the litigation. (DE 33, p. 4). The Court was not inviting the Defendant to file another motion for stay later in the course of discovery. In any event, there are no changed circumstances which would warrant a different analysis and conclusion from that reached by the Court last August.

C. The Defendant Cannot Meet His Burden of Demonstrating Grounds for a Stay on the Basis of Vague Assertions of the Position of the USAO

There is no criminal prosecution pending for the acts of Epstein against any of the Plaintiffs in these civil cases. Epstein's Motion thus fails at the outset because there is no parallel criminal action.4 In any event, the Defendant vaguely asserts, without supporting documentation, that the "USAO has already attempted to claim violations of the Non-Prosecution Agreement." (Motion to Stay (DE 57), p. 2). The Defendant submits the Affidavit of his criminal attorney, Jack Goldberger, who asserts that "the USAO has taken the position on a number of occasions that it might consider" various actions by Epstein to be a breach of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. Nowhere does the Motion or this supporting Affidavit assert that the USAO has declared a breach of the Non-Prosecution Agreement, nor does it indicate that the issue of breach has been raised by either party in any court. It is therefore difficult to understand how this can be grounds for a stay. Defendant does nothing more than speculate on the intentions of the USAO. The Motion to Stay is therefore, at best, premature.

D. Plaintiffs Would Be Prejudiced by a Stay

' The cases discussing the stay issues are premised on a pending criminal action parallel to the civil proceeding. See gag, Rehtorik, 755 F.Supp. at 1019-1020; United States v. Lot 5 23 F.3d at 364 (quoting United States v. Little Al 712 F.2d 133, 136 (5th Cir. 1983)).

Because Defendant has failed to set forth circumstances that would support a stay, there is no need to proceed further. Nonetheless, Plaintiffs note that they will be severely prejudiced if a stay is granted. First, the stay requested is a lengthy one, to the end of 2010. Such a delay is simply unfair to the Plaintiffs, who are entitled to civil remedies for the wrongs that were committed by Epstein.

Additionally, the delay in discovery will be prejudicial to Plaintiffs. Investigation and discovery will become more difficult with the passage of time. The bulk of the allegations occurred in 2004-05, when the Plaintiffs were minors. Plaintiffs should not have to wait to engage in discovery. Finally, the delay occasioned by a stay would prejudice these Plaintiffs vis-a-vis other victims of Epstein who brought their claims in state court and would not be stayed, particularly if these other victims recover punitive damage judgments against Epstein before Plaintiffs have even had an opportunity to litigate their claims.

Conclusion

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs respectfully request that Defendant's Motions to Stay and/or Continue Action be denied in their entirety.

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AGAINST PIECEMEAL DEPOSITIONS, AND MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE FOR PURPOSES OF DISCOVERY + +Plaintiff, by and through undersigned counsel, files this Reply Memorandum In Support of Motion for Protective Order Against Piecemeal Depositions, and Motion to Consolidate for Purposes of Discovery, as follows: + +### I. DEFENDANT FAILS TO SET FORTH ANY PREJUDICE OR CONFUSION THAT WOULD MILITATE AGAINST CONSOLIDATING THESE CASES FOR PURPOSES OF DISCOVERY + +In response to Plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate, Defendant asserts that not all common issues of fact are present and the parties are not identical. These are not reasons to deny consolidation, particularly the limited consolidation for purposes of discovery sought here.' Rule 42(a), Fed.R.Civ.P., requires only a common question of law or fact, and there need not be an identity of parties. Defendant also asserts without support or explanation that "confusion will result and motions in limine will undoubtedly be filed. . ." In Ramsay v. Broward County Sheriff's Office 303 Fed. Appx. 761, 2008 WL 5237162 (1 I th Cir. 2008), the Court affirmed the District + +' In a case relied upon by Defendant, Kelly v. Kelly 911 F.Supp. 66 (N.D.N.Y. 1996), the issue was consolidation for purposes of joint trial, so that case is inapposite here. + +Court's consolidation of two employment discrimination actions, noting that the party opposing consolidation "has failed to show that the district court abused its discretion by consolidating the two actions insofar as she has introduced no evidence establishing confusion or prejudice." Id. at \*3 & n. 5. + +The risk of confusion or prejudice is generally more likely to arise when there is consolidation for purposes of trial, which is not being sought in the present cases at this time. See Hendrix v. Ravbestos — Manhattan. Inc. 776 F.2d 1492, 1495 (11th Cir. 1985). Here, the common and overlapping motion practice in these cases attests to the efficiencies to be gained by consolidating for purposes of discovery. Additionally, these cases are on the same or similar discovery tracks, so there would be no prejudice or confusion arising from the cases being at different stages of litigation. See Borough of Olvphant v. PPL Corp., 153 Fed. Appx. 80, 2005 WL 2673489 (3d Cir. 2005) (a case cited by Defendant, the Court noted that it has discretion to deny a motion to consolidate "if it would cause delay in one of the cases or if one of the cases is further into discovery than the other case"); see also Motor Credit Co. v. Chiorazzo, 529 F.Supp. 2d 535, 542 (D.N.J. 2008) (denying consolidation of two actions because discovery was nearly complete in one while the other was in its preliminary stages). + +It is within this Court's broad discretion to consolidate: "[Rule 42(a)] is a codification of a trial court's inherent managerial power 'to control disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants.' " Hendrix 776 F.2d at 1495 (citation omitted). Given the nature of these cases, the common facts alleged and the common issues of law, consolidation for purposes of discovery would be in the interests of judicial economy and efficiency. Defendant fails to set forth anything to the contrary. + +# II. THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE DEPOSITION FOR EACH PLAINTIFF + +In response to Plaintiffs Motion for Protective Order to limit Defendant to a single deposition of each Plaintiff, Defendant fails to set forth any reason why it needs to take two separate depositions of each Plaintiff. Defendant asserts that it has the right to take both party depositions and witness depositions, which Plaintiff does not dispute. Where the same person is both party and witness in related cases, however, it makes eminent sense that there should be only one deposition of that person. The Court's authority to grant a protective order in this regard falls squarely within Rule 26(c), which allows such an order to be issued to protect a party from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense. The unnecessary burden and harassment that would arise from more than one deposition of a plaintiff/victim in these cases is patent and obvious, particularly since these cases concern sensitive fact issues of sex with minors. + +In opposition to the Motion, Defendant makes a vague reference to "proper preparation", but fails to articulate how its preparation will be prejudiced or otherwise adversely affected by a single deposition of each Plaintiff.2 To the contrary, separate depositions would create an artificial, awkward dividing line between which questions are of the deponent as a witness and which are of the deponent as a party, likely giving rise to unnecessary disputes and motion practice. Given the common and overlapping facts in these cases, there is no reason why a party witness cannot be questioned in a single sitting on all facts pertinent to Epstein. A protective order is therefore warranted in these cases so that each Plaintiff has her deposition taken only once. + +# Conclusion + +2 Defendant offers as a "compromise" to limit each Plaintiff to two depositions. This would not sufficiently ameliorate the problem and concern raised in the Motion. Defendant fails to proffer any reason why it is necessary to take two separate depositions of the same witness. + +Based on the foregoing, and for the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's Motion for Protective Order, Motion to Quash Subpoena, and Motion to Consolidate for purposes of discovery, Plaintiff respectfully requests an Order (i) consolidating these cases for purposes of discovery; (ii) limiting the Defendant to a single deposition of each Plaintiff; and (iii) such other and further relief this Court deems just and proper. + +Dated: April 27, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Stuart S.

The Court has reviewed the motions, responses, replies, and is otherwise fully advised in the premesis. It is hereby + +ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: + +Plaintiffs' Motion for Protective Order Against Piecemeal Depositions is GRANTED, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). As to each of the ten above-styled cases, Defendant is limited to a single deposition of each Plaintiff, during which Defendant may depose the plaintiff as both a party and a witness to all other cases of a similar nature of which the plaintiff deposed is aware. Defendant should not expect to be able to re-depose any plaintiff relative to any new cases that may be filed. Therefore, Defendant should examine each plaintiff about the facts relating to all individuals of whom they are aware, regardless of whether an individual has in fact filed a claim against Defendant. In the event additional cases are filed, upon a showing of good cause, the Court will determine whether Defendant will be permitted to re-depose any of the plaintiffs as witnesses to the allegations made in those newly filed cases. + +Plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate Cases for Purposes of Discovery is GRANTED. In the interests of judicial economy and efficiency, cases 08-80119, 08-80232, 08-80380, and 08-80993 are hereby CONSOLIDATED for purposes of discovery only. + +Additionally, the parties in the other six above-styled causes (08-80381, 08-80994, 08-80811, 08-80893 09-80469, 09-80591) are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before May 5, 2009 why all of the cases should not be consolidated for discovery purposes. + +DONE AND ORDERED in Florida, this 28th day of April, 2009 at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, + +Copies furnished to: all counsel of record + +rZ KENNETH A.

DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA + +CASE NO.: 08-CV-80232-MARRAIM + +JANE DOE NO. 3, + +Plaintiff, v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +#### DEFENDANT EPSTEIN'S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS COURT'S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AS WHY ALL CASES SHOULD NOT BE CONSOLIDATED FOR DISCOVERY PURPOSES AND MOTION TO CLARIFY THE COURT'S ORDER DATED APRIL 28, 2009 + +Defendant, JEFFERY EPSTEIN, (EPSTEIN), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Response in Opposition to this Court's Order to Show Cause as to Why All Cases Should Not be Consolidated for Purposes of Discovery and Motion for Clarification of this Court's Order on general consolidation of discovery (DE 78), and states: + +## I. Response In Opposition + +Defendant has no further objections to consolidating these cases for purposes of depositions as outlined in this Court's April 28, 2009 Order. + +However, to consolidate the cases for purposes of all "discovery" including, but not limited to, motion practice and related orders thereto will, without question, confuse many of the individual discovery issues raised not only by Epstein as to the individual Plaintiffs that have brought separate lawsuits against him, but will also confuse the individual discovery issues raised by those same individual Plaintiffs as to Epstein. This will undoubtedly lead to several motions to clarify certain orders which will seek + +explanation from the court as to how those orders affect Epstein as to each individual Plaintiffs discovery requests and vice versa (i.e., how those future orders affect the individual Plaintiffs' discovery requests directed to Epstein). + +It is important to note that each related Federal matter before this court has its very own distinct set of facts and defenses thereto. As such, the discovery served and the responses received are particular and individualized as to both Plaintiff and Defendant. As such, discovery of "all" cases for general discovery consolidation (separate and apart from depositions) will only cloud rulings on discovery and will result in more attorney labor and judicial resources, which will inevitably be spent on motions for clarification. + +Each Plaintiff and Epstein have served and will in the future serve separate requests for production, separate interrogatories, separate requests for admissions, and separate motions to compel, responses and replies addressing certain discovery issues. Obviously, both Plaintiff and Defendant will base their discovery related arguments on the particularized facts of each case, which are separate and distinct from one another. Moreover, the Plaintiffs will likely seek to retain different experts to support their individual claims. In that regard, how will a general consolidation of discovery impact discovery related to those experts' individualized opinions? + +As this court is aware, certain case management orders are in place setting the parameters of discovery. It is unclear how Plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate and the Courts Order will handle the potential problems and any other potential discovery related issues outlined above. In fact, it appears that Jane Doe, in Case No. 08-CV-80893 (DE 47), has expressed her own reasons for opposing the consolidation all the + +cases for discovery purposes. Obviously, Jane Doe's counsel, like the undersigned, anticipates that discovery issues will present themselves if general consolidation occurs and does not want it to impact her case. In fact, the debates have already begun in light of this Court's April 29, 2009 Order and the responses filed addressing same. This provides the court with a glimpse of what will occur if general consolidation occurs, in particular, how attorney resources and judicial resources will be unnecessarily used. + +In addition, the initial style of each case should be maintained in pleadings and in orders in an effort to maintain organization and application of the rulings this court espouses for each case. Utilizing a compound multiple-type style will only confuse cases that should be kept separate for all discovery purposes. + +# II. Motion for Clarification of this Court's April 28, 2009 Order + +This Court ruled that cases 08-80119, 08-80232, 08-80380 and 08-80993 are consolidated for discovery purposes. Epstein not only objects to the court's consolidation order but seeks clarification from this Court as to how consolidation of general discovery will impact motion practice and orders in the above cases. What does the court mean when it says the above cases are consolidated "for purposes of discovery only?" How does consolidation operate? The concerns addressing general discovery consolidation are set out above and are therefore incorporated herein. Likewise, for those reasons, the court should reverse its ruling on consolidation and issue a new order maintaining the individuality of each case for discovery purposes. + +In addition, Epstein not only objects to the court's potential consolidation of case numbers 08-80381, 08-80994, 08-80811, 08-80893, 09-80469 and 09-80591 for general discovery purposes, but respectfully requests that this court clarify how + +consolidation of general discovery will impact motion practice and orders in the above cases should this court choose to consolidate same for discovery. Again, how does consolidation operate? The concerns addressing general discovery consolidation are set out above and are therefore incorporated herein. + +In short, the Motions seeking consolidation for discovery purposes only do not delineate how consolidation operates. As such, the Order granting the Motions to Consolidate for discovery purposes only does not provide any additional information addressing how consolidation will operate. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court not consolidate case numbers 08-80381, 08-80994, 08-80811, 08-80893, 09-80469 and 09-80591, that it clarify its order as to consolidation of case numbers 08-80119, 08-80232, 08-80380 and 08- 80993 (or the future consolidation of other cases) and that it reverse its April 28, 2009 ruling on general consolidation in light of the potential problems presented in this response, that an order be entered requiring the parties to utilize the style secured by the initial case filing and not a compound-case style incorporating all case styles in one particular document, and for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. + +> By: (-/ / ROBERT D.

EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO COMPEL ANSWERS TO FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES AND FOR AN AWARD OF REASONABLE EXPENSES + +Plaintiffs, JANE DOES 2-7, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby file this Memorandum in Opposition to Epstein's Motion to Compel Plaintiffs to Answer First Set of Interrogatories and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses, and state as follows: + +### I. Introduction + +Defendant Epstein served an Interrogatory (# 18) seeking to unearth explicit information on every bit of possible sexual conduct and activity in chronological order which each Jane Doe might have engaged in since age 10, including the names and phone numbers of all persons with whom they had sexual contact.' Plaintiffs properly objected to these interrogatories in that discovery on + +Plaintiffs also object to Interrogatory nos. 19, 20, and 21, served on each of them, which seek the identities and contact information of any men whom Plaintiffs' claim committed sexual assault or + +the sexual history of a childhood abuse victim is substantially limited in federal court, "courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery." See Fed. R. Evid. 412, Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments, subdivision (c). Defendant has made no such showing in his Motion to Compel to overcome this presumption. Accordingly, Defendant's Motion to Compel must be denied in its entirety. + +# H. Argument + +Epstein incorrectly argues that Fed.R.Evid 412 is strictly an evidentiary rule and that Rule 26(b) must be read exclusively to determine whether information about an abuse victim's sexual history is discoverable. The Rule 412 Advisory Committee Notes, however, instruct that Rule 412 affects not only the admissibility of evidence at trial, but must also "inform the discovery process." Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 1996). The Committee Notes state, in relevant part, as follows: + +> Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the + +battery, or engaged in lewd and lascivious conduct or exhibition, against them. Unlike interrogatory no. 18, which asks for information regarding all men other than Epstein with whom the Plaintiffs have had sexual activity, interrogatory nos. 19-21 are at least limited to criminal conduct. Nonetheless, these interrogatories are overbroad and unnecessarily infringe on the Plaintiffs' privacy interests, particularly since they seek identity and contact information of men other than Epstein whom Plaintiffs claim committed sexual crimes against them. As discussed infra, discovery on a victim in a case of this nature is tempered by Fed.R.Evid., 412, and, as a result, a party is not entitled to carte blanche discovery on sexual matters involving the victim. There must be a balancing of interests based on the discovery sought. Here, Defendant contends that the information it seeks in interrogatory nos. 19-21 is relevant to Plaintiffs' damages claims, but fails to state in this regard why the perpetrator's identity and contact information specifically is relevant and should be discoverable. This discovery should not therefore be allowed. + +facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery. + +Nowhere in Defendant's Motion is it explained how or why this presumption should be overcome. It is well established under Fed.R.Evid. 412 that a victim's past sexual behavior is wholly irrelevant to the credibility of her testimony, and that her prior and subsequent sexual activity with third parties has no bearing on the issue of whether she consented to or complied with the sexual acts charged. ee United States v. M, 472 F.2d 909, 919 (5th Cir. 1973). Virgin Islands v. =, 634 F.Supp. 933, 936-37 (D. V.I. 1986) (policy of rule disallowing evidence to show character of assault victim); Dept. of Professional Regulation v. Wise 575 So.2d 713 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) (holding that evidence of sexual relations with a person other than an accused is not relevant). One commentator has noted that once the identity of persons and similarity of circumstances are removed, "probative value all but disappears." See Ordover, Admissibility of Patterns of Similar Sexual Conduct: The Unlamented Death of Character for Chastity, 63 Cornell L. Rev. 96, 106 (1977). The discovery at issue is not limited to sexual contact involving similar circumstances, and is therefore lacking in probative value. Defendant fails in his Motion to demonstrate otherwise. + +Defendant's argument that Rule 412 is merely an evidentiary rule that should be disregarded in discovery disputes has been routinely rejected in federal courts. See a, Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 1996) (granting protective order pursuant to Rule 412 to prevent a sexual battery and harassment victim from having to disclose off-duty sexual contacts with persons other than defendant in discovery); Herron v. Eastern Industries. Inc. 2007 WL 2781211 (N.D. Fla. Sept. 19, 2007); Gibbons v. Food Lion, Inc. 1999 WL 33226474 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 19, 1999); P.J. Herchenroeder v. John Univ. Applied Physical Lab, 171 F.RD. 179 (D. Md. 1997) (looking at both Rule 26 and Rule 412 in resolving discovery motion); v. 166 F.R.D. 500 (D. N.M. 1996) (explaining that "[a]Ithough the present motion arises in the context of discovery under Rule 26, the Court must remain mindful of Rule 412 and its implications); Stalnaker v. Kmart Cup, 1996 WL 397563 (D. Kan. 1996) (noting that Rule 412 "is applicable and has significance in deciding certain discovery motions"). + +As the above-referenced cases make abundantly clear, childhood sexual abuse cases are not garden-variety litigation subject to traditional broad discovery concerning a victim's sexual history. Rule 412 is designed to protect victims of sexual misconduct from undue embarrassment and intrusion into their private affairs. See Fed R.Evid. 412. The committee notes explain that the Rule is also intended to prevent "sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process." Rule 412, Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments. Common sense dictates that requiring a sexual abuse victim to disclose the intimate details sought by Epstein during the discovery process — which then would presumably lead to additional discovery of the victim's other sexual partners — would be at least as embarrassing and intrusive during the discovery process as it would be if the victim were questioned about these facts at trial, if not more. Thus, in order to carry out its purpose, Rule 412 "must inform the discovery process" and the Court "must impose certain restriction on discovery to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly fail to satisfy the balancing test" set forth in Rule 412. See Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. at 135. + +In Barta the Court confronted this issue in the context of a discovery motion in a civil case. 169 F.R.D. at 133. A former employee brought a sexual harassment and battery claim against her former employer and individual employees. Id. The defendants asked questions at deposition which delved into the plaintiff's sexual conduct outside the workplace. Id. at 134. The Court did not allow these questions and wait until trial to determine admissibility. Id. at 135. Instead, the Court sustained the plaintiff's objections. Id. The Court based its decision on Fed.R.Evid. 412. Id. + +Although noting that Rule 412 controls the admissibility of evidence, the Court explained that it must also apply Rule 412 to "impose certain restrictions on discovery to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly satisfy the balancing test of 412(b)(2)..." Id. Thus, the Court concluded that the defendants should not be permitted to inquire into the plaintiff's conduct while she was off-duty, outside the workplace, and which did not involve the same defendants. The same rationale should apply here. The Defendant should not be permitted to seek intimate details of Plaintiff's sexual conduct throughout her life — particularly if it did not involve similar criminal circumstances such as those involving Epstein. + +Defendant attached three Florida state court orders to its Motion, two of which are trial court decisions. These cases do not serve as precedent for this Court, and in any event, they are not persuasive. Unlike state courts, federal courts must focus on the interplay between Fed.R.Evid. 412 and Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b), and in this regard must be concerned with embarrassment to the victim and protection of her privacy. Indeed, it does not appear that an analogous argument was made in any of the state court cases relied upon by Defendant. Furthermore, the discovery in Balas v. Russo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Ha. 3d DCA 1997) was far narrower than that which is at issue here. It was limited to asking plaintiffs for their employment history (which admittedly included prostitution), employment records, electronic recording of the conduct which was the subject of the complaint, and a description of her damages. 703 So.2d 1077-78. At no time were the plaintiffs in Balas asked to disclose their entire sexually history beginning at age 10. Id. Thus, the three state court cases cited in the Motion are not helpful to the Defendant, and should not deflect attention from the burden placed on the party in federal court seeking discovery of a victim's other sexual contacts. + +Finally, Defendant's request for attorney's fees and costs is completely unwarranted. The present motion and response involve good-faith, timely and well-founded objections by Plaintiffs to over-reaching and harassing discovery efforts. Accordingly. Defendant's request for award of reasonable expenses should be denied. + +## Conclusion + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs respectfully request that Defendant Epstein's Motions to Compel Plaintiffs to Answer First Set of Interrogatories and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses be denied in their entirety. + +Dated: May 6, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

DISCOVERY, OR ALTERNATIVELY, MOTION TO DISMISS SUA SPONTE, WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW' + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("Epstein" or "Defendant"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby requests that this Court enter an order identifying in the style of this case the complete legal name of the Plaintiff, JANE DOE #3 ("JANE DOE"), to substitute her complete legal name in this case in place of "JANE DOE" and, equally important, allowing Defendant to identify her in various subpoenas that Epstein must serve so Epstein can defend this case or, alternatively, Motion to Dismiss Entire Action Sua Sponte. In support, Mr. Epstein states as follows: + +### I. Motion And Incorporated Memorandum Of Law + +#### a. Background + +1. On March 5, 2008, Plaintiff, a 20-year-old female, filed this action against Epstein. + +1 Several of the discovery responses attached to this Motion and to the companion \*Motions to Identify" filed in other related matters are markedly different. Therefore, each requires the court's attention on an individual basis. + +2. On February 27, 2009, Plaintiff filed her Second Amended Complaint against Epstein, which alleges three causes of action against him: Count I — Sexual Assault and Battery; Count II — Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress; and Count III — Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. + +3. The Second Amended Complaint appears to raise both Federal and Florida State substantive issues (DE 56). + +4. Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that she is entitled to money damages pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. §2422 and 2255 (in the wherefore clause) and by virtue her claims that Epstein sexually battered her and caused her emotional distress. Plaintiff alleges separate counts against Mr. Epstein, on which he must conduct discovery to defend this case. + +5. In particular, JANE DOE claims, in Count I for sexual battery, that she has and will suffer ". . .severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages." ¶21, 2nd Am. Comp. DE 56. In Count II for Sexual Battery, plaintiff claims entitlement to recover for ". . .severe mental anguish and pain" ¶27, 2nd Am. Comp., DE 56. In Count III for Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422, plaintiff claims entitlement to recover for ". . .personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages" ¶33, 2nd Am. Comp., DE 56. Plaintiff also claims entitlement to "punitive damages" and "actual and compensatory damages" and "loss of earning capacity." DE 56. See also Exhibit "A", Interrogatory Response Number 9-10. + +6. Epstein has a constitutional due process right to defend himself and to seek the production of information that will assist in his defense of the allegations in the 2nd Amended Complaint. In this case, Plaintiff's counsel objected to Epstein serving subpoenas on Plaintiffs treating physicians and other third parties. Thus, this motion seeks to identify JANE DOE in the style of this case, to identify JANE DOE in various third-party subpoenas for discovery purposes and, alternatively, to dismiss this entire action sua sponte. The undersigned's experience in "Jane Doe" lawsuits is that once a Plaintiff is identified, other individuals come forward in the discovery phase with information which often directly contradicts allegations as to the events and damages. For instance, witnesses may testify that Plaintiff was paid by others for similar sexual acts she claims Mr. Epstein forced upon her or that she willingly participated in certain act(s) that would negate or lessen her damages. This goes directly to Plaintiffs damage claim. + +7. Likewise, subpoenas must be issued to third-party treaters and current and former employers, and those subpoenas will seek to obtain records related directly to Plaintiffs claims and her damages (i.e., her claim for severe and permanent traumatic injuries, including mental, psychological and emotional damages" and loss of self-esteem and dignity as referenced above). Cherenfant v. Nationwide Credit, Inc. 2004 WL 5315889 (S.D. Fla. 2004)(order allowing discovery of medical records consistent with Plaintiffs allegations in complaint). This too goes directly to Plaintiffs damage claims. Medical providers, employers, co-employees, etc...have direct and relevant personal knowledge and + +observations regarding damages, i.e., emotional state, activities, self-esteem, etc.... + +8. Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 26 allows for broad discovery. Epstein is not required to rely solely on Plaintiff's discovery responses in defending this case, nor is Epstein required by any statute or law to rely only upon what Plaintiff produces in discovery or may obtain from her own medical treaters through her counsel, and to then provide to Epstein only after Plaintiff has reviewed same. In certain related state court actions involving Epstein, the undersigned offered to serve certain subpoenas on the medical treaters and other third-parties with full name, date of birth and Plaintiffs social security number (last four digits), but agreed that the subpoenas filed with the clerk would be redacted. Several attorneys agreed to this procedure in those cases. In Federal Court, subpoenas are not filed with the clerk. Thus, in this matter, the undersigned offered to serve the third-party subpoenas with plaintiff's full name, date of birth and social security number (last four digits) and would agree to redact any identifying information on any documents filed with this court if that ultimately became necessary. As discussed below, Plaintiff's counsel did not agree. Further, Plaintiffs counsel claims a HIPPA complaint protective order is necessary. Such is not the case when a Plaintiff places her mental, emotional, psychological and physical condition at issue. + +9. Moreover, when an order from the court is attached to the Subpoena, treaters and other third parties produce the records and show up to the depositions with the records requested because the deponent knows what to bring by virtue of knowing the identity of the Plaintiff. + +10. Epstein's counsel intends to serve and depose witnesses duces tecum. If Epstein is not permitted to identify JANE DOE, how will any deponent know who the parties are and what to bring to the deposition pursuant to the duces tecum? Further, how will Epstein be able to defend the claims. Just like the Plaintiff, Epstein is entitled to due process. + +11. While it is within the sound discretion of this court to allow a party to proceed anonymously, Plaintiff should not attempt to utilize that discretion as a shield from legitimate and necessary discovery. Epstein has a fundamental due process right to conduct discovery. + +## b. Motion To Identify JANE DOE In Style Of This Case + +12. As discussed below, Epstein has fundamental due process right to defend himself in this civil litigation. While JANE DOE travels under a pseudonym, various newspaper articles identifying Epstein have been released discussing the alleged claims against him. Allowing JANE DOE to litigate this matter under a pseudonym is preventing Epstein from defending this suit including, but not limited to, preventing him from locating individuals that may have information about this lawsuit and information about JANE DOE that may discredit her allegations and/or lessen the monetary damages she seeks to recover. It is the undersigned's experience that once identified, witnesses begin to come forward. See supra. + +13. In Doe v. Leplev 185 F.R.D. 605 (D. Ct. NV 1999), a sexual harassment case, the court reasoned that there is no express or implied right to bring an action anonymously. Id. at 606. Moreover, Fed. R. Civ. P 10(a) requires that the complaint include the names of the parties. Id. When Plaintiffs are permitted to proceed anonymously, the court must employ a balancing test to decide if the plaintiff has a substantial privacy interest that outweighs the presumption of openness in judicial proceedings. Id., citing, Doe v. M, 951 F.2d 320, 323 (11th Cir. 1992)(requiring complaint to include the names of the parties serves more than administrative convenience, it protects the public's legitimate interests in knowing all the facts involved, including the identity of the parties - thus denying request to proceed anonymously). The factors include: + +- a. whether the plaintiff is challenging governmental activity; +- b. whether the party defending the suit would be prejudiced; +- c. whether the plaintiff is required to disclose information of utmost intimacy; +- d. whether the plaintiff is compelled to admit an intention to engage in illegal conduct, thereby risking criminal prosecution; +- e. whether the Plaintiff would risk suffering injury if identified; +- f. whether the interests of children are at stake; and +- g. whether there are less drastic means of protecting the legitimate interests of either party. + +Doe v. M, 951 F.2d at 323. + +Plaintiff does not fall under any of the factors. Moreover, even if she did meet one of the factors, "[t]he fact that [a] Doe [Plaintiff] may suffer some personal embarrassment, standing alone, does not require the granting of a request to proceed under a pseudonym." Id; see also Doe v. Rostker 89 F.R.D. 159 (N.D. Calif. 1981). Any substantial privacy interests JANE DOE has must outweigh the customary and constitutionally embedded presumption of openness to judicial proceedings. Doe v. 951 F.2d at 323; Doe v. Bergstron, 2009 WL 528623 (C.A.9(Or.))(denying request to proceed anonymously in civil action by Plaintiff where Plaintiffs arrest, prosecution and acquittal were matters of public record). + +14. In Sweetland v. State, 535 So.2d 646 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988), the court reasoned that the purpose of discovery is to eliminate the likelihood of surprise and to insure a fair opportunity to prepare for trial. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(b)(1)\* see also Surf Drugs. Inc., v. Vermette, 236 So.2d 108, 111 (Fla. 1970)(stating that the rules of discovery should be afforded broad and liberal treatment to effectuate their purpose), citing, Hickman v. Taylor, 329 U.S. 495, 501, 507 (1947). + +15. Next, the right to go to court to resolve disputes is a fundamental right. D.R. Lakes, Inc. v. Brandsmart U.S.A. of West Palm Beach, 819 So.2d 971 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). All litigants are afforded an equal opportunity. Lingle v. Dion, 776 So.2d 1073 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). The Florida Constitution establishes the right commonly known as access to courts. Mitchell v. Moore, 786 So.2d 521 (Fla. 2001). Courts shall be open to any person for the redress of any injury and justice shall be administered without sale, denial or delay. Art. I, §21, Fla. Const.; 10A Fla. Jur. 2d, Constitutional Law, §360. + +16. If Jane Doe's name is not disclosed and identified, Mr. Epstein will not be afforded his fundamental right to fairly litigate this dispute and prepare for trial. + +Accordingly, Epstein requests that JANE DOE be identified by her legal name in the pleadings. + +# c. Motion To Identify JANE DOE In Third-Party Subpoenas + +17. While discovery in this matter is underway; Epstein is effectively being denied due process rights by Plaintiff's counsel from conducting broad, open and liberal discovery in that Plaintiffs counsel has objected to, among other things, Epstein identifying JANE DOE in various third-party subpoenas to her medical providers and other third parties. + +18. The undersigned must serve subpoenas on medical doctors to obtain medical information on JANE DOE's alleged psychological and physical damages as same goes to the heart of Epstein's defenses and Plaintiff's damages. Plaintiff is claiming emotional/psychological damages and "loss of earning capacity.". See Exhibit "A", Interrogatory Response Number 9-10. Therefore, Epstein is entitled to know her psychological condition(s) before and after the alleged incident(s) she references in the Second Amended Complaint. In particular, JANE DOE alleges specific disorders as a result of Epstein's alleged conduct — . .anxiety, depression, suicidal idealization, guilt, self-blame, feeling of being degraded, feeling unattractive, diminished sense of femininity, fluctuations of weight and appetite, sexual intimacy problems, flashbacks. . .stress, irritability, feelings of being isolated and trapped, diminished trust, social problems, problems in personal relationships. . .feel[ings] of stress (particularly around men), obsessive thoughts. . . ." (Emphasis Added). Id. Epstein is also + +entitled to know, among other things, whether she had any physical complaints or whether there was ever any evidence of physical battery on JANE DOE's body from the acts she complains of in the 2nd Amended Complaint. The need to serve third-party subpoenas on medical doctors is a basic discovery need related to the claims alleged by JANE DOE for which Plaintiffs counsel refuses to compromise. Balas v. Ruzzo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998)(discoverability of Plaintiffs history of sexual activity is relevant to damages); United States v. Bear Stops, 997 F.2d 451 (eh Cir. 1993)(deals with "admissibility of other acts of sexual abuse by individuals other than the defendant to explain why a victim of abuse exhibited behavioral manifestations of a sexually abused child.") If Plaintiff saw a psychologist or other physician during or after the time periods she claims she was assaulted by Epstein but either did not discuss or did discuss the incidents (or lack thereof) would be directly relevant to her damage claims. Plaintiff seeks physical and emotional/mental personal injury type damages, and the Epstein must conduct his own discovery thereon. See supra. No valid discovery objections or exemptions exist preventing necessary and reasonable discovery. To hold otherwise prevents Mr. Epstein from preparing and defending this matter. + +19. In defending this lawsuit, Mr. Epstein should be permitted broad discovery, whether admissible at trial or not. Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 26 provides, in pertinent part, that "parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action." Plaintiff's counsel's refusal to identify JANE DOE in the third-party subpoenas referenced above is prejudicing Mr. Epstein by virtue of preventing discovery all together, which is in complete contradiction of the discovery rules and Epstein's substantive due process rights. + +20. In addition, subpoenas must also be served upon various local and state institutions in order to determine what crimes, if any, JANE DOE has committed (i.e., crimes that involve dishonesty and/or false statement). Obviously, this goes directly to the heart of JANE DOE's damages she claims (". . .anxiety, depression, suicidal idealization, guilt, self-blame, feeling of being degraded, feeling unattractive, diminished sense of femininity, fluctuations of weight and appetite, sexual intimacy problems, flashbacks. . .stress, irritability, feelings of being isolated and trapped, diminished trust, social problems, problems in personal relationships. . .feel[ings) of stress (particularly around men), obsessive thoughts. . . ." — caused by Epstein or other events in her life) for which a jury is entitled to hear about at trial, and certified records must be obtained from the clerk should JANE DOE answer certain questions regarding her crimes incorrectly. See Exhibit "A". + +21. At this time, the undersigned is aware that Jane Doe may have committed the following crimes: + +- a. Shoplifting; +- b. Petty Theft; and +- c. Vandalism; + +22. If Jane Doe was involved in crimes, Epstein is entitled to obtain certified copies of those crimes and other crimes Plaintiff may have committed for purposes of discovery and impeachment. Questions will be asked regarding those crimes (e.g., Have you been convicted of a crime of dishonesty or false statement? If so, how many times? Have you been convicted of a felony? If so, how many times?) To hold otherwise would not only prevent broad discovery but would ultimately result in reversible error at any trial. + +#### II. Conclusion + +- 23. Epstein requests the following relief: + - a. That JANE DOE be identified by her legal name in the style of this case; + - b. That Epstein be granted leave to identify JANE DOE by her legal name in Third-Party Subpoenas (but not file them in Court or, if required, in a redacted form); and + - c. That, on an alternative basis, this court dismiss this action Sua Sponte until such time as JANE DOE identifies herself in the style of this matter. Doe v. Rostker 89 F.R.D.at 163. + +WHEREFORE, Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, respectfully requests that this Court enter said order granting the relief requested above, and for such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and pr + +By: ROBERT D.

Jefj5-ey Epstein + +Dear Mr. Critton: + +This letter addresses the matters raised in your letter dated February 25, 2009, as follows: + +- 1. The Plaintiffs agree to withdraw the General Objections set forth in their interrogatory responses. +- 2. The Plaintiffs' responses to interrogatory no. 10 provide as much information as is available to them at this time. Further specificity regarding the amounts of damages claimed will necessarily be the subject of expert testimony. Plaintiffs do not have this information. By their nature, these are not breach of contract or commercial cases in which damages are easily calculated. +- 3. As to interrogatories nos. 18-21 and document request nos. 10, 11, 17 and 18, Plaintiffs maintain their objections as stated. It is the Plaintiffs' position that you are not entitled to discovery from the Plaintiffs, either in interrogatories, documents requests or depositions, relating to other sexual behavior not involving Mr. Epstein. Your interrogatories and document requests are squarely at odds with the purpose and intent of Fed.R.Evid. 412. In this regard the Comment to the 1994 Amendments to Rule 412 states as follows: + +Rule 412 applies to both civil and criminal proceeding. The rule aims to safeguard the alleged victim against the invasion of privacy, potential embarrassment and sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the + +Robert Critton, Esq. March 3, 2009 Page 2 + +> infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process. By affording victims protection in most instances, the rule also encourages victims of sexual misconduct to institute and to participate in legal proceedings against alleged offenders. + +If Rule 412 is to have any meaning, then the protections it affords to victims of sexual misconduct must be considered and applied in discovery proceedings as well as the trial. + +4. We disagree that the Plaintiffs' answers to request for production no. 14 is evasive. How would any of the Plaintiffs' know whether photographs and pictures taken of Mr. Epstein or Mr. Epstein's home exist? All they are required to do in response to document requests is produce those documents that are responsive and that are in their possession, custody or control. As we believe it is made clear, none of the Plaintiffs have any documents that are responsive to request no. 14. + +5. As to Request for Production no. 1, you state in your letter that tax returns are relevant to "whether Plaintiff has been and continues to be gainfully employed" and "the type of employment in which Plaintiff engaged in." In a separate interrogatory, you request the Plaintiffs' complete employment history. Additionally, we have advised you that the Plaintiffs do not make any claims for lost wages. As a result, we do not understand your argument that the Plaintiffs' tax returns are relevant. Clearly, the discovery you seek on employment history can and should be obtained in a more direct means than through the Plaintiff's tax returns, which necessarily include information that is private and not relevant. + +As to the matters discussed above that are in dispute, please be advised that we will oppose any motion to compel and any request by Defendant for expenses and attorneys' fees. + +Very truly urs + +tuart S. elstein + +SSMilr \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739862/EFTA02739862.metadata.json b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739862/EFTA02739862.metadata.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..bcc2d262164f50f3292162ab6354e1c71f44f7d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739862/EFTA02739862.metadata.json @@ -0,0 +1,151 @@ +{ + "source_pdf": "/home/robbd/my/apps/epstein-index/data/raw/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739862.pdf", + "engine": { + "marker_major": "2", + "marker_version": "2.0.0", + "mode": "balanced", + "use_llm": false, + "force_ocr": false, + "disable_ocr": false, + "output_format": "markdown", + "preserve_source": false + }, + "fingerprint": "d889ea60d5548ac4", + "pages": 2, + "chars": 3696, + "elapsed_seconds": 1.02, + "image_assets": [], + "marker_metadata": { + "table_of_contents": [ + { + "title": "MERMELSTEIN & HOROWITZ pA", + "heading_level": null, + "page_id": 0, + "polygon": [ + [ + 74.78599999999999, + 77.66986083984375 + ], + [ + 378.6148681640625, + 77.66986083984375 + ], + [ + 378.6148681640625, + 100.19647216796875 + ], + [ + 74.78599999999999, + 100.19647216796875 + ] + ] + }, + { + "title": "Via Facsimile", + "heading_level": null, + "page_id": 0, + "polygon": [ + [ + 72.33399999999999, + 240.05599999999998 + ], + [ + 151.29983520507812, + 240.05599999999998 + ], + [ + 151.29983520507812, + 255.49200439453125 + ], + [ + 72.33399999999999, + 255.49200439453125 + ] + ] + } + ], + "page_stats": [ + { + "page_id": 0, + "text_extraction_method": "pdftext", + "block_counts": [ + [ + "Span", + 79 + ], + [ + "Line", + 39 + ], + [ + "Text", + 10 + ], + [ + "ListItem", + 3 + ], + [ + "SectionHeader", + 2 + ], + [ + "PageHeader", + 1 + ], + [ + "ListGroup", + 1 + ], + [ + "PageFooter", + 1 + ] + ], + "block_metadata": { + "llm_request_count": 0, + "llm_error_count": 0, + "llm_tokens_used": 0, + "previous_text": "", + "previous_type": "", + "previous_order": 0 + } + }, + { + "page_id": 1, + "text_extraction_method": "pdftext", + "block_counts": [ + [ + "Span", + 59 + ], + [ + "Line", + 30 + ], + [ + "Text", + 9 + ], + [ + "PageHeader", + 1 + ], + [ + "PageFooter", + 1 + ] + ], + "block_metadata": { + "llm_request_count": 0, + "llm_error_count": 0, + "llm_tokens_used": 0, + "previous_text": "", + "previous_type": "", + "previous_order": 0 + } + } + ], + "debug_data_path": "debug_data/EFTA02739862" + } +} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739864/EFTA02739864.md b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739864/EFTA02739864.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0930af97dfd4d27838454d8c6456bd0796498ca1 --- /dev/null +++ b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02739864/EFTA02739864.md @@ -0,0 +1,113 @@ +## UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA + +JANE DOE NO. 2, + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +CASE NO.: 08-CV-80119-MARRA + +JANE DOE NO. 3, + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +JANE DOE NO. 4, CASE NO.: 08-CV-80380-MARRA + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +JANE DOE NO. 5, CASE NO.: 08-CV-80381-MARRA + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +CASE NO.: 08-CV-80232-MAR + +JANE DOE NO. 6, CASE NO.: 08-CV-80994-MARRa + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +JANE DOE NO. 7, CASE NO.: 08- 80993-CIV-MARRa + +Plaintiff, vs. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +## PLAINTIFFS' MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO COMPEL RESPONSE TO FIRST REQUEST TO PRODUCE, OVERRULE OBJECTIONS AND FOR AN AWARD OF REASONABLE EXPENSES + +Plaintiffs, JANE DOES 2-7, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby file this Memorandum in Opposition to Epstein's Motion to Compel Response to First Request to Produce, Overrule Objections, and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses, and state as follows: + +# I. Introduction + +Defendant Epstein served a Request for Production, which includes (Request #s 10, 11, 17 and 18) requests that seek to unearth all recordings and depictions of every instance of sexual conduct and activity which each Jane Doe might have engaged and documents evidencing the names and contact information of each sexual partner over the past nine years. Plaintiffs properly objected to these Requests, in that discovery on the sexual history of a childhood abuse victim is substantially limited in federal court; "courts should presumptively issue protective + +orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery." See Fed. R. Evid. 412, Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments, subdivision (c). Defendant has made no such showing in his Motion to Compel to overcome this presumption. Accordingly, Defendant's Motion to Compel must be denied in its entirety. + +Defendant also seeks in Request #1 "all tax returns and supporting documentation" dating back to 2002. Plaintiffs properly objected to this harassing and burdensome request, which is not reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence in the present sexual abuse case, particularly since Plaintiffs are not making a lost wages or lost income claim. Plaintiffs have already disclosed their entire employment history and the request at issue is far broader than necessary to determine Plaintiffs' employment or earnings history. + +# II. Argument + +Initially, it must be brought to the Court's attention that Epstein's request for depictions or recordings of the plaintiff engaged in sexual or simulated sexual activity since the year 2000 includes materials which are unlawful for anyone to possess, particularly a registered sex offender such as Epstein. The notion that a registered sex offender is seeking child pornography should disturb this Court as much as it irks the Plaintiffs. + +Epstein incorrectly argues that Fed.R.Evid 412 is strictly an evidentiary rule and that Rule 26(b) must be read exclusively to determine whether information about an abuse victim's sexual history is discoverable. The Rule 412 Advisory Committee Notes, however, instruct that Rule 412 affects not only the admissibility of evidence at trial, but must also "inform the discovery process." Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 19%). The Committee Notes state, in relevant pan, as follows: + +Courts should presumptively issue protective orders barring discovery unless the party seeking discovery makes a showing that the evidence sought to be discovered would be relevant under the facts and theories of the particular case and cannot be obtained except through discovery. + +Nowhere in Defendant's Motion is it explained how or why this presumption should be overcome. It is well established under Fed.R.Evid. 412 that a victim's past sexual behavior is wholly irrelevant to the credibility of her testimony, and that her prior and subsequent sexual activity with third parties has no bearing on the issue of whether she consented to or complied with the sexual acts charged. See United States v. 472 F.2d 909, 919 (5th Cir. 1973); Virgin Islands=1, 634 F.Supp. 933, 936-37 (D. V.I. 1986) (policy of rule disallowing evidence to show character of assault victim); Dept. of Professional Regulation v. Wise 575 So.2d 713 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) (holding that evidence of sexual relations with a person other than an accused is not relevant). One commentator has noted that once the identity of persons and similarity of circumstances are removed, "probative value all but disappears." Ordover, Admissibility of Patterns of Similar Sexual Conduct: The Unlamented Death of Character for Chastity, 63 Cornell L. Rev. 96, 106 (1977). The discovery at issue is not limited to sexual contact involving similar circumstances, and is therefore lacking in probative value. Defendant fails in his Motion to demonstrate otherwise. + +Defendant's argument that Rule 412 is merely an evidentiary rule that should be disregarded in discovery disputes has been routinely rejected in federal courts. See, e.g., Barta v. City and County of Honolulu 169 F.R.D. 132 (D. Haw. 1996) (granting protective order pursuant to Rule 412 to prevent a sexual battery and harassment victim from having to disclose off-duty sexual contacts with persons other than defendant in discovery); Herron v. Eastern + +Industries. Inc. 2007 WL 2781211 (N.D. Ha. Sept. 19, 2007); Gibbons v. Food Lion, Inc. 1999 WL 33226474 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 19, 1999)• P.J. Herchenroeder v. John Univ. Applied Physical Lab, 171 F.RD. 179 (D. Md. 1997) (looking at both Rule 26 and Rule 412 in resolving discovery motion); v. Zabihi, 166 F.R.D. 500 (D. N.M. 19%) (explaining that "[ajlthough the present motion arises in the context of discovery under Rule 26, the Court must remain mindful of Rule 412 and its implications); Stalnaker v. Kmart Corp. 1996 WL 397563 (D. Kan. 1996) (noting that Rule 412 "is applicable and has significance in deciding certain discovery motions"). + +As the above-referenced cases make abundantly clear, childhood sexual abuse cases are not garden-variety litigation subject to traditional broad discovery concerning a victim's sexual history. Rule 412 is designed to protect victims of sexual misconduct from undue embarrassment and intrusion into their private affairs. See Fed R.Evid. 412. The committee notes explain that the Rule is also intended to prevent "sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process." Rule 412 Advisory Committee Notes to 1994 Amendments. Common sense dictates that requiring a sexual abuse victim to disclose the intimate details and recordings sought by Epstein during the discovery process — which then would presumably lead to additional discovery of the victim's other sexual partners — would be at least as embarrassing and intrusive during the discovery process as it would be if the victim were questioned about these facts at trial, if not more. Thus, in order to carry out its purpose, Rule 412 "must inform the discovery process" and the Court "must impose certain restriction on discovery to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly fail to satisfy the balancing test" set forth in Rule 412. See Barta v. City and County of Honolulu, 169 F.R.D. at 135. + +In Barta the Court confronted this issue in the context of a discovery motion in a civil case. 169 F.R.D. at 133. A former employee brought a sexual harassment and battery claim against her former employer and individual employees. Id. The defendants asked questions at deposition which delved into the plaintiff's sexual conduct outside the workplace. Id. at 134. The Court did not allow these questions and wait until trial to determine admissibility. Id. at 135. Instead, the Court sustained the plaintiff's objections. Id. The Court based its decision on Fed.R.Evid. 412. Id. Although noting that Rule 412 controls the admissibility of evidence, the Court explained that it must also apply Rule 412 to "impose certain restrictions on discovery to preclude inquiry into areas which will clearly satisfy the balancing test of 4 I 2(b)(2)..." Id. Thus, the Court concluded that the defendants should not be permitted to inquire into the plaintiffs conduct while she was off-duty, outside the workplace, and which did not involve the same defendants. The same rationale should apply here. The Defendant should not be permitted to seek intimate details and recordings of Plaintiff's sexual conduct throughout her life. + +Defendant attached three Florida state court orders to its Motion, two of which are trial court decisions. These cases do not serve as precedent for this Court, and in any event, they are not persuasive. Unlike state courts, federal courts must focus on the interplay between Fed.R.Evid. 412 and Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b), and in this regard must be concerned with embarrassment to the victim and protection of her privacy. Indeed, it does not appear that an analogous argument was made in any of the state court cases relied upon by Defendant. Furthermore, the discovery in Balas v. Russo, 703 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) was far narrower than that which is at issue here. It was limited to asking plaintiffs for their employment history (which admittedly included prostitution), employment records, electronic recording of the conduct which was the subject of the complaint, and a description of her damages. 703 So.2d + +1077-78. At no time were the plaintiffs in Balas asked to disclose their entire sexually history beginning at age 10. Id. Thus, the three state court cases cited in the Motion are not helpful to the Defendant, and should not deflect attention from the burden placed on the party in federal court seeking discovery of a victim's other sexual contacts. + +With regard to Request #1 for "all tax returns and supporting documentation", the Defendant has not (and cannot) show how these documents are conceivably relevant. Plaintiffs are not making a claim for lost income or wages. See Exhibit "A". Moreover, Plaintiffs have disclosed their entire employment history and agreed to execute authorizations allowing Defendant to obtain their employment personnel records. Given the nature of the claim involving sexual assault, it is inconceivable how the tax returns, W-2s, and 1099s, and all other "supporting documentation" could be relevant. Cases in which the plaintiff has been ordered to produce tax returns is limited to situations involving transactions or in which the plaintiff is seeking to recover lost wages, lost profits, royalty payments, or similar relief. See Bellose v. Universal Tile Restoration 2008 WL 2620735 (S.D. Fla. June 30, 2008)• United States v. Certain Real Property ,444 F.Supp.2d 1258 (S.D. Fla. 2006). The instant case involving sexual assault is readily distinguishable and the mere filing of a lawsuit does not place all of one's income and earnings at issue. Further, if it is Plaintiff's employment history or earnings that Defendants are seeking to discover, a request for all "supporting documentation" pertaining to their tax returns is overbroad and far more burdensome than necessary to acquire this information. + +Finally, Defendant's request for attorney's fees and costs is completely unwarranted. The present motion and response involve good-faith, timely and well-founded objections by Plaintiffs to over-reaching and harassing discovery efforts. Accordingly, Defendant's request for award of reasonable expenses should be denied. + +# Conclusion + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs respectfully request that Defendant's Motion to Compel Response to First Request to Produce, Overrule Objections, and for an Award of Reasonable Expenses be denied in their entirety. + +Dated: May 6, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

Defendant has failed to satisfy this burden. There is no pending motion for summary judgment. There is also no criminal proceeding at this time arising from Epstein's acts against the Plaintiffs or other victims. Indeed, whether such acriminal proceeding is ever commenced is entirely within the Defendant's control, by complying with the terms of his Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Introduction and Argument + +Plaintiffs Response in Opposition challenging the stay should not prevail when 5th Amendment principles are at issue and when there exists a real, substantial and not remote possibility that Epstein may face criminal prosecution by the United States Attorneys' Office ("USAO") if the USAO unilaterally determines that Epstein somehow violated that certain Non-Prosecution Agreement dated June 30, 2008 ("NPA") and/or if Epstein is forced to waive those 5th Amendment rights and participate in civil discovery in order to defend this civil action. + +Epstein should not be confronted with the substantial risk of loosing this civil action by virtue of asserting his 5th Amendment privileges. Despite Plaintiff's contention, + +Epstein's Motion does not concentrate solely on the fact that the pleadings are not at the summary judgment stage. The motion also concentrates on Epstein's risk of loosing this entire civil action as a result of Epstein invoking his 5th Amendment rights. Severino v. Klvtie's Developments, Inc., 2008WL 1782637, \*2 (D. Colo)(recognizing that a stay is appropriate under similar circumstances as in the instant case); see also infra. + +In fact, waiver of Epstein's 5u' Amendment privileges should not be compelled to defend this civil action (and could be remedied by areasonable stay), especially when civil discovery may lead to the USAO unilaterally declaring aviolation of the NPA. + +The USAO has already unilaterally claimed that EPSTEIN violated the NPA by, among other things, "investigating the Plaintiffs (by and though his attorneys) whom brought civil suits against him for purposes of defending those civil actions" and "by contesting damages in this action and in the other civil actions." See Motion to Stay and Jack Goldberger Affidavit attached thereto as Exhibit "B". Thus, these are not vague assertions as Plaintiff claims. How can Epstein truly defend these matters and be afforded his due process rights when to do so might result in the USAO claiming abreach of the NPA? The fact is that he cannot. Notwithstanding the allegations against Epstein, this Court has an obligation to ensure his due process rights are upheld in both the civil and criminal contexts. + +Next, in her response, Plaintiff claims that a stay should not be entered because aparallel criminal proceeding against Epstein does not exist. Not only is Plaintiffs theory incorrect for reasons set out herein and in the Epstein's Motion to Stay, but her response ignores the significant fact that a stay may be issued in light of an ongoing + +investigation. It is clear from the NPA and Jack Goldberger's Affidavit (attached to the Motion to Stay) ". . .that the criminal matters against Epstein remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010. . ., and the threat of criminal prosecution against Epstein by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010." See Jack Goldberger's Affidavit, ¶5 (attached to the Motion to Stay). In fact, the FBI refused to provide information regarding this case and other related cases filed against Epstein ". . .stating the materials are at this time exempt from disclosure because they are in an investigative file, i.e., the matter is still an ongoing criminal investigation." See Jack Goldberger's Affidavit, ¶7 (attached to the Motion to Stay) + +Additionally, Plaintiffs response downplays the fact that civil discovery may result in the USAO claiming abreach of the NPA. Epstein wishes to vigorously defend this case and others filed against him; however, he does not wish to risk waiver of his 5th Amendment privileges, at least before the NPA expires or any investigation is closed. + +Further, Plaintiff adopts the arguments set forth in Jane Doe's Response to the Motion to Stay filed in 08-CIV-80893, which asserts that the NPA is not attached to Epstein's Motion to Stay. The Court has a copy of the NPA. While it may be sealed, this Court may review same, in camera. As such, Plaintiffs Best Evidence argument (as adopted in the instant response) is entirely misplaced and should be disregarded. + +### a. Justice Requires The Entry of A Stay + +As set out in the Motion to Stay, once the NPA expires, EPSTEIN intends to testify to all relevant and non-objectionable inquiries made to him in discovery be it a deposition, in interrogatories or in production requests. However, the current + +circumstances are such that by testifying or responding to discovery, EPSTEIN will be required to waive his constitutional privileges, thereby subjecting himself to scrutiny by the USAO as a result of matters alleged in this civil action (and others before this Court and in the State of Florida 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County). + +When an ongoing criminal investigation exists, courts have granted motions to stay civil proceedings. In St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company v. U.S., 24CI.Ct 513(1991), the court held that staying acivil action for 6-9 months was reasonable in light of a pending criminal investigation so long as the movant met certain elements (see infra) and the stay was not immoderate or unreasonable. Taking into consideration the Motion to Stay and this Reply as well as facts alleged by Plaintiff in her operative pleading against Epstein, it is clear that Epstein has met the elements of St. Paul Fire necessary for this Court to enter a stay: + +- 1. Epstein has made a clear showing, by direct or indirect proof, that the issues in the civil action are "related" as well as "substantially similar" to the issues in the criminal investigation. +- 2. Epstein has made a clear showing of hardship or inequity if required to go forward with this civil case while the NPA and/or the ongoing investigation exist. (see supra and see also Motion to Stay and attached affidavit of Jack Goldberger, Esq. discussing Epstein's 5th Amendment Rights and how those rights affect this civil litigation — see supra); and +- 3. Epstein, in light of the stays granted by other courts, has shown that a stay in the instant matter until late 2010 (the date the NPA expires) and the likely date any ongoing investigation will be closed is not immoderate or unreasonable. + +St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company v. U.S., 24CI.Ct at 515-16; see also Wilson v. National Association of Letter Carriers, 2006WL 3791313, \*1 (E.D. La. + +2006)(granting motion to stay civil proceeding for 2 years and 7 months pending criminal investigation); Ostrow v. U.S., 1986WL 6855, \*1 (M.D. Fla.)(recognizing a defendant's constitutional rights and allowing for a stay of the civil case until the criminal aspects/investigation of Defendant's companion case are closed). + +Here, Epstein is not required to "contemplate an in haec verba iron-clad comparison of separate issues by direct proof." St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company v. U.S., 24CI.Ct at 516. Instead, a reading of the complaint, the NPA (in camera), the pleadings in support of and against Epstein's Motion to Stay along with other pleadings in the clerk's file, makes it clear that the facts in the instant matter and those in the ongoing investigation are "related" and/or "substantially similar." Id. As such, permitting this civil action to go forward would create a hardship on Epstein in that he will be forced to invoke his 5th Amendment Privilege and risk loosing this case by virtue of not being able to present evidence, or waive that right and risk a potential criminal prosecution. Eastwood v. U.S., 2008WL 5412857, \*1 (E.D. Tenn.))("When a party to a civil action is subject to criminal proceedings and/or investigations that relate to such civil action, courts will often stay the civil proceeding so as to prevent the use of civil discovery and evidentiary procedures to obtain evidence for use in the criminal matter). Id. Courts will also stay acivil case to preserve 5th Amendment rights. Id. Further, a comparison of Fed.R.Civ. Pro. 26 may expand the rights of criminal discovery beyond the limits of Fed.R.Crim.Pro. 16(b). Epstein satisfies the requirements to stay this action as set forth in St. Paul Fire and in Eastwood, including the similarity of issues underlying the civil litigation and ongoing criminal investigation. As such, a stay should + +be entered in the instant matter. See also U.S. v. \$75,020.00 In United States Funds, et al., 2009 WL 1010359 (M.D. G.a. 2009). + +# Ill. Conclusion and Request for Relief + +Based upon the foregoing, Epstein is entitled to a full stay of this proceeding (and other related matters) until such time as the NPA expires and until the ongoing investigation by the USAO is closed (i.e., until late 2010). Alternatively, in an effort to protect Epstein's 5th Amendment and his due process rights in connection with defending these civil matters, this court should enter a stay of any discovery directed to Epstein and strike this case from the trial docket until the NPA and the ongoing investigation are both concluded and/or expired. In this manner, Plaintiffs investigation and discovery as to third parties will continue and will not be delayed. Epstein is invoking his 5th Amendment rights in the first place, which means that objections to discovery and deposition questions are being asserted so as not to waive those 5th Amendment rights. Once the NPA and the ongoing investigation terminate, this court could allow additional time for Plaintiff to complete Epstein's deposition and discovery directed to him, and then set this case on the Court% most available docket. Despite Plaintiffs contentions, Epstein's 5th Amendment rights and his due process rights associated therewith and in connection with defending this civil case should trump any civil claim for money damages when it comes to timing. Eastwood v. U.S., 2008WL 5412857, \*6 (reasoning that a stay is warranted when the risk to an individual's constitutional rights is magnified). + +WHEREFORE, Epstein requests the following relief orth above, and for such other and further relief as this court deems just and + +> Ro=hrt D Critton, Jr. Attorney or Defendant Epstein + +#### Certificate of Service + +IHEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was electronically filed with the Clerk of the Court using CM/ECF.

A., + +v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN and + +Plaintiff, + +Defendants, + +Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's Motion To Stay And Or Continue Action For Time Certain Based On Parallel Civil And Criminal Proceedints With Incorporated Memorandum Of Law + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, (hereinafter "EPSTEIN") by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby moves this Court for the entry of an order staying or continuing this action for atime certain (i.e., until late 2010 when the NPA expires), pursuant to the application of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the fact that a parallel proceeding is ongoing and being investigated. In support of his motion, EPSTEIN states: + +### I. Introduction + +At the outset, EPSTEIN notes this Court's prior Order, dated December 16, 2008, (Document 28), in which this Court denied amotion for stay brought by Defendant's prior counsel. In that instance, Defendant's counsel requested a mandatory stay under 18 U.S.C.A. §3509(k) which the court denied. In denying the request for the stay, this Court stated that a discretionary stay was not appropriate at the time the order was entered but also stated, in part, that "Any such issues shall be resolved as they arise in the course of litigation.". As discussed herein, "special circumstances" now exist which, in the "interests of justice," merit the entry of a stay of this civil action until the criminal matter in the 15th Judicial Circuit is "closed" in + +accordance with the United States Attorney's Office ("USAO") Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") and until the NPA expires. + +Moreover, EPSTEIN was indicted by a grand jury in or around July 2006. See Exhibit "A". The Non-Prosecution Agreement is part of the record in connection with that indictment, which is signed by the State Attorney of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida ("SAO"). In fact, the NPA acknowledges the investigation performed by the SAO. Further, the USAO was present at the Plea hearing whereby the NPA was made part of the record. Thus, there is no question that a parallel criminal matter exists in that the SAO's case remains open and the NPA lives along side it, which places EPSTEIN under great scrutiny by the USAO. The NPA actually places an affirmative duty upon EPSTEIN to undertake discussions with the SAO to ensure compliance with the NPA. That check and balance, therefore, remains in the hands of the SAO, which has a parallel criminal proceeding. Here, the threat of prosecution is real, substantial, and present should the USAO determine that EPSTEIN somehow violated the NPA. As discussed below, because the NPA fails to define what constitutes a breach, the USA() has apparently taken it upon itself to determine whether a breach has occurred and whether to seek criminal prosecution. In fact, the USAO has already attempted to claim violations of the NPA due to, among other things, EPSTEIN defending the civil actions against him. Clearly, it is NOT simply EPSTEIN's choice as to whether he violates the NPA — that discretion apparently lies with the USAO. For this reason alone, a stay is required until the NPA expires. + +The difference between this Motion and the prior motion to stay is solely due to the ripeness of the issues discussed herein. + +# H. THE NPA + +By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008 and expires by those same terms in late 2010 so long as EPSTEIN complies with the terms and conditions — violations of which remain undefined. The NPA, which remains under seal, outlines various obligations on the part of EPSTEIN including, but not limited to, pleading guilty to the Indictment and Information before the 15th Judicial Circuit, recommendations for his sentencing before the 15th Judicial Circuit, waiver of challenges to the Information filed by the SAO, waiver of right to appeal his conviction, agreement not be afforded benefits for gain time, and the agreement to not prosecute others listed thereon so long as EPSTEIN does not breach and fulfills the requirements of the NPA. + +What the NPA does not outline or define is what constitutes a breach or what act or omission constitutes a breach thereof. Therefore, the USAO apparently believes it has the discretion to make that unwritten and undefined determination, which places an unreasonable burden upon EPSTEIN in defending the civil claims in that he has no idea what the USAO will define as a breach in the event he does not assert his 5th Amendment Rights. As an example, the USAO has already claimed that EPSTEIN violated the NPA by: + +- 1. investigating the Plaintiffs (by and though his attorneys) whom brought civil suits against him for purposes of defending those civil actions; + - 2. contesting damages in this action and in the other civil actions; +- 3. making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or other Plaintiffs by and though his attorneys; and + +4. using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with SA's office. + +See Exhibit "B" Goldberger Affidavit - EPSTEIN's criminal counsel. + +These allegations are silly, unfounded and alleged violations which are not defined as violations under the NPA but arrived at by the USAO. Thus, EPSTEIN is left with "Morton's Fork" in his side - the undesirable choice of taking the 5th Amendment and having a judgment (summary or otherwise) entered against him in the civil action or the undesirable choice of subjecting himself to discovery in the civil action before the NPA expires and, thus, face the possibility of criminal prosecution by the USAO based upon some illusory breach deemed by the USAO by way of information obtained through civil discovery proceedings. This is inherently unfair, the danger is clear, and the playing field is not level in light of the NPA language or lack thereof. + +As a result, the threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by the USAO continues presently and through late 2010. + +### III, Justice Requires The Entry of A Stay Because Defendant Is Being Forced To Choose Between Waiving His 51h Amendment Privilege Or Risk Losing This Civil Case And Forfeiting Other Constitutional Guarantees Of Due Process And Effective Assistance Of Counsel + +Once the NPA expires, EPSTEIN fully intends to testify to all relevant and nonobjectionable inquiries made to him in discovery be it a deposition, in interrogatories or in production requests. (Emphasis Added) However, the current circumstances are such that by testifying or responding to discovery, EPSTEIN will be required to waive his constitutional privileges, thereby subjecting himself to criminal prosecution and scrutiny by the USAO as a + +Page 5 + +result of matters alleged in this civil action (and others before this Court and in the State of Florida 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County). + +The special circumstances of this action are such that a stay or continuance for atime certain is NOT prejudicial and is required to be entered so that: + +(1) EPSTEIN is not required to waive his Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination under the United States Constitution resulting in severe prejudice to EPSTEIN in pending criminal matters; and + +(2) EPSTEIN is not forced to choose between waiving his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination or losing the civil case. + +Here, in asserting his Fifth Amendment Privilege, the Plaintiff is afforded an opportunity rarely given - that is, to put on only her evidence without any counterevidence from Defendant resulting in a judgment of liability against EPSTEIN. This is inherently unfair and precisely the special circumstances where "in the interests of justice" a stay is required. Ventura v. Brosky, 2006WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), citing United States v. Lot 5, Fox Grove, 23F.3d 359 (11th Cir. 1994). In Ventura, astay was entered where aDefendant was confronted with issue of waiving his 5th Amendment Privilege or to loose acivil case by way of motion for summary judgment. Id. Here, EPSTEIN is not requesting a mandatory stay. EPSTEIN only asks that this court recognize that "special circumstances" exists in this matter and enter a stay in the "interests of justice" and only for a specified period of time (i.e., after the NPA expires). See a\_122 Securities and Exchange Commission, 755F.Supp. 1018, 1019 (S.D. Fla. 1990)(Defendant was in precarious position while being subject to criminal investigation and reasoning that compelling Defendant to speak by ordering an accounting of alleged illicit funds would directly + +Page 6 + +impinge his right against self-incrimination). The court found it appropriate to grant the request for stay. (Emphasis Added). + +Citing to U.S. v. Lot 5. Fox Grove supra, the Southern District Court, Florida, in Ventura v. Broskv 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), stated — + +The Eleventh Circuit has also created a test for these circumstances, stating that where there exists a concurrent civil and criminal proceeding, a court must stay a civil proceeding pending resolution of a related criminal prosecution when "special circumstances" so require in the "interests of justice." + +(Bold emphasis added). au also United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. I, 12 & n. 27, 90 S.Ct. 763, 769-70 & n.27 (1970). The Ventura Court went on to state that "situations where a defendant in both criminal and civil proceedings must choose whether to waive his privilege against selfincrimination or to lose the civil case in summary or default judgment proceedings have met this test's burden and warrant a stay." Id. The Ventura court granted the stay. Here, the I5'h Judicial Circuit action lives along with the NPA. + +In making a decision to enter such a stay, the court may consider the following factors: + +- (I) the interests of the Plaintiffs in proceeding expeditiously with litigation, or any aspect of it, and the potential prejudice of Plaintiff to the delay; +- (2) the burden which any particular aspect of the proceedings may impose on the defendant; +- (3) the convenience of the court in the management of its cases, and the efficient use of judicial resources; + - (4) the interests of persons not parties to the civil litigation; and + - (5) the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal litigation. + +Page 7 + +See U.S. v. Pinnacle Ouest International, 2008 WL 4274498 (N.D. Fla. 2008). + +First, in applying the above factors, the Plaintiff in the instant matter will not be prejudiced simply by claiming a delay in time. Second, the burden is far greater on the EPSTEIN if he is forced to waive his 56 Amendment Privilege or remain silent and have a judgment entered against him or choose to testify and face criminal prosecution. Third, efficient use of judicial resources would be rendered upon a stay by way of preventing an appeal if such a stay is not entered. The Court has broad discretion to enter such a stay. Fourth, the interests of the individuals outlined in the NPA will be served because EPSTEIN's fulfillment of NPA alleged obligations is determinative upon whether the USAO prosecutes those individuals or whether the claims will be dropped upon the expiration of the NPA. Finally, the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal cases will not be prejudiced as EPSTEIN is already serving his term whereby a plea was entered in the 15 Judicial Circuit action. + +# a. Application of the 5th Amendment + +Next, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d 668, 669 (11th Cir. 1985), citin Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). See also Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17, 21, 121 S.Ct. 1252 (2001)(The Fifth Amendment privilege is also available to those who claim innocence. One of the Fifth Amendment's "basic functions ... is to protect innocent men ... 'who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances."); Malloy v. Hogan, 84 S.Ct. 1489, 1495 (1964)(the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause applies to the states through the Due Process + +Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "(lit would be incongruous to have different standards determine the validity of a claim of privilege based on the same feared prosecution, depending on whether the claim was asserted in state or federal court."); Kastigar v. U.S., 406 U.S. 441, 444-45, 92 S.Ct. 1653 (1972XThe Fifth Amendment privilege "can be asserted in any proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used. This Court has been zealous to safeguard the values which underlie the privilege." (Emphasis added)). + +The United States Supreme Court made it clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege includes the circumstances as here "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); see als2 Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391 (1976); McCormick on Evidence, Title 6, Chap. 13. The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, §138 (6th Ed.). The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company v. Conbov, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). + +Certainly, if the USAO decides to prosecute EPSTEIN for an alleged violation of the NPA, it would undoubtedly be able to use information obtained during discovery against him or + +Page 9 + +use that information to aid in the development of other evidence against him at a criminal trial. The USAO is already claiming violations of the NPA based upon EPSTEIN defending the civil actions and, at the same time, while EPSTEIN asserts the 5th Amendment. Imagine, because that is all we can do based on the lack of wording in the NPA, what violations the USAO will assert if EPSTEIN is forced to waive his 5th Amendment privilege to defend himself in this and the other civil actions. + +The Fifth Amendment provides, in relevant part, that "No person ... shall be compelled in any Criminal Case to be a witness against himself." Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814 (1951), citing v. United States, 1944, 322 U.S. 487, 489, 64 S.Ct. 1082, 1083, 88 L.Ed. 1408." The Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination is "accorded liberal construction in favor of the right it was intended to secure." "The immediate and potential evils of compulsory self-disclosure transcend any difficulties that the exercise of the privilege may impose on society in the detection and prosecution of a crime." Id., at 490; and In re Financial Svcs. of Fla.. Inc., 259 B.R. 391, 399 (M.D. Fla. 2000). The privilege not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a crime. Id tiring Blau v. United States 1950, 340 U.S. 159, 71 S.Ct. 223. The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination "permits a person not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings." Edwin v. Price, 778 F.2d at 669, citing Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C. 316, 322 (1973). As EPSTEIN is here, "the claimant must be 'confronted by substantial and `real,' and not merely + +trifling or imaginary, hazards of incrimination."' See generally United States v. Apfelbatun, 445 U.S. 115, 128, 100 S.Ct. 948, 956, 63 L.Ed.2d 250 (1980)). See also, United States v. Neff, 615 F.2d 1235, 1239 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 447 U.S. 925, 100 S.Ct. 3018, 65 L.Ed.2d 1117 (1980XInformation is protected by the privilege not only if it would support a criminal conviction, but even if "the responses would merely `provide a lead or clue' to evidence having a tendency to incriminate."). EPSTEIN falls under each of the above category of cases. + +The United States Supreme Court has made clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment Privilege also encompasses the circumstance where "the act of producing documents in response to a subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell 530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000)• see also Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391 (1976). In explaining the application of the privilege, the Supreme Court stated: + +We have held that "the act of production" itself may implicitly communicate "statements of fact." By "producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic." Moreover, as was true in this case, when the custodian of documents responds to a subpoena, he may be compelled to take the witness stand and answer questions designed to determine whether he has produced everything demanded by the subpoena. The answers to those questions, as well as the act of production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence, custody, and authenticity of the documents. Whether the constitutional privilege protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is a question that is distinct from the question whether the unprotected contents of the documents themselves are incriminating. + +"The issue presented in those cases was whether the act of producing subpoenaed documents, not itself the making of a statement, might nonetheless have some protected testimonial aspects. The Court concluded that the act of production could constitute protected testimonial communication because it might entail implicit statements of fact: by producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and were authentic. United States v. Doe, 465 U.S., at 613, and n. 11, 104 S.Ct. 1237. Fisher, 425 U.S., at 409-410. 96 S.Ct. 1569; id., at 428, 432, 96 S.Ct. 1569 + +> (concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States. 1487 U.S.,1 at 104. 108 S.Ct. 2284; f id..I at 122. 108 S.Ct. 2284 (dissenting opinion). Thus, the Court made clear that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies to acts that imply assertions of fact."... An examination of the Court's application of these principles in other cases indicates the Court's recognition that, in order to be testimonial, an accused's communication must itself, explicitly or implicitly, relate a factual assertion or disclose information. Only then is a person compelled to be a 'witness' against himself." Doe v. United States. 487 U.S., at 209-210, 108 S.Ct. 2341 (footnote omitted). + +> Finally, the phrase "in any criminal case" in the text of the Fifth Amendment might have been read to limit its coverage to compelled testimony that is used against the defendant in the trial itself. It has, however, long been settled that its protection encompasses compelled statements that lead to the discovery of incriminating evidence even though the statements themselves are not incriminating and are not introduced into evidence. Thus, a half century ago we held that a trial judge had erroneously rejected a defendant's claim of privilege on the ground that his answer to the pending question would not itself constitute evidence of the charged offense. As we explained: + +> "The privilege afforded not only extends to answers that would in themselves support a conviction under a federal criminal statute but likewise embraces those which would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prosecute the claimant for a federal crime." Hoffman v. United States. 341 U.S. 479, 486, 71 S.Ct. 814, 95 L.Ed. 1118 O951). + +> Compelled testimony that communicates information that may "lead to incriminating evidence" is privileged even if the information itself is not inculpatory. Doe v. United States. 487 U.S. 201. 208. n. 6, 108 S.Ct. 2341, 101 L.Ed.2d 184 (1988). It's the Fifth Amendment's protection against the prosecutor's use of incriminating information derived directly or indirectly from the compelled testimony of the respondent that is of primary relevance in this case. + +The privilege against self-incrimination may be asserted during discovery when a litigant has "reasonable grounds to believe that the response would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against a litigant." A witness, including a civil defendant, is entitled to invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege whenever there is a realistic possibility that the answer to a question could be used in anyway to convict the witness of a crime or could aid in + +the development of other incriminating evidence that can be used at trial. Id; Pillsbury Company v. Conboy, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). See also, Hubbell, supra, as to what is encompassed by the phrase "in any criminal case" contained in the Fifth Amendment. + +As noted, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination is broad. Hoffman; In re Financial Svcs., supra. To deny a witness the right to invoke the privilege, the judge must be perfectly clear, from a careful consideration of all the circumstances in the case, that the witness is mistaken, and that the answers cannot possibly have such tendency to incriminate. Id at 488, 399. Recognizing the breadth and magnitude of this constitutional privilege, the United States Supreme Court in discussing how a court is to analyze the application of the privilege stated — + +... It is for the court to say whether his silence is justified, Rogers v. United States, 1951, 340 U.S. 367, 71 S.Ct. 438, and to require him to answer if 'it clearly appears to the court that he is mistaken.' Temple v. Commonwealth 1880, 75 Va. 892, 899. However, if the witness, upon interposing his claim, were required to prove the hazard in the sense in which a claim is usually required to be established in court, he would be compelled to surrender the very protection which the privilege is designed to guarantee. To sustain the privilege, it need only be evident from the implications of the question, in the setting in which it is asked, that a responsive answer to the question or an explanation of why it cannot be answered might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result. The trial judge in appraising the claim 'must be governed as much by his personal perception of the peculiarities of the case as by the facts actually in evidence.' + +Hoffman, supra at 486-487. + +Hoffman and its progeny establish that "in view of the liberal construction of the provision [protecting against self-incrimination], after a witness has asserted the privilege, he should be compelled to provide the requested information only if it "clearly appears" to the court + +that the witness was mistaken in his invocation of the privilege." (Emphasis added). In re [REDACTED] +Financial Svcs., supra at 399, citing Hoffman, at 486. + +In the instant case, the privilege applies as Defendant EPSTEIN "has reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer." The risk of incrimination resulting from being subject to discovery or to testify in his own defense while the NPA exists is "substantial and real" and "not trifling or imaginary haphazards of communication." See generally, In re [REDACTED] Financial Svcs., supra at 400. Based on the nature of Plaintiff's claims, along with the ongoing scrutiny of the USAO in the criminal matters, EPSTEIN has "reasonable grounds to believe that his responses to the discovery would furnish a link in the chain of evidence needed to prove a crime against him. Finally, in order to preserve the privilege, the privilege must be asserted or one risks the loss or waiver of this liberty ensuring protection. See generally, U.S. v. [REDACTED], 846 F.2d 678, 690 (11th Cir. 1988)("First, it ignores the settled principle which requires a witness to assert his Fifth Amendment rights. A witness who testifies at any proceeding, instead of asserting his Fifth Amendment rights, loses the privilege. ... A civil deponent cannot choose to answer questions with the expectation of later asserting the Fifth Amendment."). + +Also applicable in upholding the assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege is the guarantee of effective assistance of counsel by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. See Yarborough v. Gentry, 124 S.Ct. 1, 540 U.S. 1, 157 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003)(Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants effective assistance of counsel.), on remand 381 F.3d 1219. The United States Constitutional guarantees are applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Obviously, EPSTEIN's assertion of his constitutional privileges and protections is on the advice of counsel. Again, EPSTEIN continues to face criminal prosecution by the USAO + +until the expiration of the NPA; under the constitutional guarantee of effective assistance of counsel, he is entitled to follow the recommended advice of his criminal defense attorney. See Goldberger Affidavit attached hereto. + +EPSTEIN's invocation of his constitutional protections of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments must be upheld for the reasons set forth herein; otherwise such constitutional protections would be rendered meaningless. Already and recently, Defendant EPSTEIN in his Response and Objections to discovery, attached hereto as Exhibit "C", has been required to assert, on advice of counsel, his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, along with his constitutional rights afforded under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Thus, EPSTEIN's entitlement to a stay is ripe for determination. + +Based upon the foregoing, a stay is warranted in this action as the Defendant is being forced to choose between the assertion of his Fifth Amendment right or losing this case by judgment (summary or otherwise) or waiver of his 5ih Amendment right and face potential criminal prosecution. + +By: ROBERT D.

I, **Jack A. Goldberger**, have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida since 1978. I am a partner with the law firm of Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss, P.A., located at One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400, 250 Australian Avenue South, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. + +2. My practice includes and specializes in the defense of criminal matters. I am board certified in criminal law. I have been and currently am the criminal defense attorney for JEFFREY EPSTEIN. + +3. I represented Mr. EPSTEIN in the negotiation of and entering into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the Non-Prosecution Agreement also entailed the entering of a Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida. (The Non-Prosecution Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "NPA"). + +4. By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. Also, pursuant to the terms of the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN. + +EXHIBIT "B" + +5. The criminal matters against EPSTEIN remain ongoing until the NPA expires by its terms in late 2010, and as long as the USAO determines EPSTEIN has complied with those terms and conditions. The threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by USAO in the Southern District of Florida continues presently and through late 2010. + +6. Pursuant to the terms of the NPA, the USAO possesses the right to declare that the agreement has been breached, give EPSTEIN's counsel notice, and attempt to move forward with a prosecution. As of the date of this Affidavit, the USAO has taken the position on a number of occasions that it might consider the following actions by EPSTEIN to be a breach of the NPA. + +- Investigation by EPSTEIN (by and through his attorneys) of this Plaintiff and the other Plaintiffs in other pending civil cases for purposes of defending the civil actions; +- EPSTEIN's contesting damages in this action and other civil actions. +- EPSTEIN or his legal representatives making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or the other Plaintiffs. +- Using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. + +7. EPSTEIN, through counsel, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for documents relating to this and the other cases; the FBI denied the request stating the materials are at this time exempt from disclosure because they are in an investigative file, i.e. the matter is still an ongoing criminal investigation. + +8.

Further Defendants objects to the production as overly broad and seeking information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear to be reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.

DEFENDANT EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO STAY/CONTINUE THE CIVIL CASES PENDING AGAINST HIM + +THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the motions filed in several cases by Defendant + +Jeffrey Epstein to Stay and/or Continue the Action for Time Certain Based on Parallel Civil and Criminal Proceedings. See, e.g., docket entry 51 in C.M.A. v. Epstein and =, case no. 08- 80811 (attached). Epstein moves for a stay until the expiration of the Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) because, he claims, the USAO has taken the position that he is violating the NPA by defending the civil actions filed against him. Therefore, he argues that he cannot defend the civil actions without subjecting himself to criminal prosecution. + +While the Court recognizes that the United States is not a party to these actions and is not obligated to comment on this matter, the position of the United States would greatly assist the Court in resolving the merits of these motions to continue/stay the case. Accordingly, the Court requests that the United States provide its position on the matter. The Court would appreciate the governments position within 15 days if possible. If the United States is unwilling to state its position, the Court would also appreciate being so advised. + +DONE AND ORDERED in at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, this 14th day of May, 2009 + +> KENNETH A.

PIKE, ESQUIRE + +STATE OF FLORIDA + +SS + +COUNTY OF PALM BEACH ) + +PERSONALLY APPEARED before the undersigned Notary Public, Michael + +J. Pike, Esq., who after being sworn states the following: + +1. My name is Michael Pike, and I am one of the attorneys assigned to this matter. Burman, Critton, Luttier and Coleman, LLP, Robert D. Critton, Jr., Esq., J. Michael Burman, Esq., and I represent Jeffrey Epstein. I have knowledge of the facts outlined in the Motion to Strike Cases from Current Trial Dockets and/or Motion to Continue Cases and/or Motion to Modify Trial and Scheduling Orders ("Motion to Strike"). I have fully read the Motion, and I personally drafted the Motions and Replies to various discovery responses identified by docket entry in the Motion to Strike. + +2. The information set forth in the Motion to Strike is true and accurate in that the undersigned law firm, on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein, has attempted in good faith to obtain discovery in preparation for trial and in accordance with this Court's Order Setting Trial Date and Discovery Deadlines, Referring Case to Mediation and Referring Discovery Motions to the United States Magistrate Judge. + +3. Unfortunately, due to the Plaintiff's delays, objections to relevant discovery and refusal to allow Jeffrey Epstein to identify Plaintiffs in other Third-Party Subpoenas, the undersigned has a good faith belief that it will be impossible to complete discovery pursuant to the Court's Scheduling Order. In fact, as outlined in the Motion to Strike, it is abundantly clear that Jeffrey Epstein has not been afforded any meaningful discovery and cannot properly prepare the cases for trial. It will also be impossible to satisfy the remaining schedules referenced in the Motion. + +4. In short, Plaintiffs have refused and/or failed to produce any + +meaningful discovery and/or answer any meaningful discovery responses. As a result, the undersigned has not had an opportunity to depose any individuals that may have information about the allegations made by Plaintiffs. + +5. Next, as stated in the Motion to Strike, Plaintiffs' counsel refuses to allow the undersigned law firm to identify Plaintiffs by their true legal names in the style of the case and/or identify the Plaintiffs in any third party subpoenas, which has effectively prevented the undersigned law firm from obtaining any meaningful discovery about the Plaintiffs and/or the damages they seek. As stated in the Motion to Strike, Brad EM has agreed to such a procedure relative to third party subpoenas. + +6. As a result, good cause has been shown to continue the actions or modify the schedules. Therefore, the cases should be struck from the current trial dockets, continued to the next available trial dockets or, alternatively, the discovery schedules and other related schedules outlined in the Court's Scheduling Orders should be modified as requested in the Motion. Without the granting of the Continuance and/or a Modified Scheduling Order, Mr. Epstein's due process rights will be violated in that he will not be able to prepare and properly defend the cases for trial. This will substantially prejudice Jeffrey Epstein. + +FURTHER THE AFFIANT SAYETH NAUGH + +STATE OF FLORIDA COUNTY OF PALM BEACH Mich YI J.

In support, EPSTEIN states: + +## I. Procedural Background and Argument' With Incorporated Memorandum of Lawl + +1. C.M.A. was filed on February 23, 2008. C.M.A. filed her First Amended Complaint on February 10, 2009. (C.M.A. DE 39-40). Epstein's Motion to Dismiss same was filed on March 12, 2009. (C.M.A. DE 47). The Motion to Dismiss remains outstanding. + +2. Jane Doe (80893) was filed on August 13, 2008. On April 17, 2009, Jane Doe filed her First Amended Complaint. + +3. The Jane Doe 2-7 cases were filed between February 6, 2008 and September 10, 2008. Jane Does 2-7 filed their Second Amended Complaints on February 2009. + +4. Pursuant to the court's Orders Setting Trial And Discovery Deadlines, Referring Case To Mediator And Referring Discovery Motions To U.S. Magistrate Judge (the + +In an effort not to repeat certain legal arguments set out in various Motions and Replies referenced below and identified herein by Docket Number, those motions and replies, with legal arguments, are specifically incorporated herein by reference. + +"Trial Orders"), these matters are currently set on this court's Trial Dockets commencing January 25, 2010, February 8, 2010 and February 22, 2010. + +5. Pursuant to the Trial Orders, discovery cutoff is August 2009 for C.M.A. and Jane Does 2-5, and October 2009 for Jane Doe and Jane Does 6-7. Substantive pretrial motions must be completed in August 2009 for C.M.A. and Jane Does 2-5, and October 2009for Jane Doe and Jane Does 6-7. Mediation must be completed on November 2009for Jane Does 2-5, and December 2009 for C.M.A., Jane Doe and Jane Does 6-7. Finally, Expert discovery must be completed on June 29, 2009 for C.M.A. + +6. As to C.M.A., Jane Doe and Jane Does 2-7, each has objected to relevant discovery. C.M.A. has even refused to produce certain information that she agreed to produce in discovery. The foregoing delay tactics has prevented Epstein from conducting meaningful discovery in order to defend these matters and prepare for trial. At this juncture, Plaintiffs wish for Epstein to try this case without any discovery whatsoever. See infra. + +7. For example, in adiligent effort to obtain discovery, Epstein filed substantive motions addressing C.M.A.'s objections to discovery, and those motions remain outstanding? See (C.M.A. - DE 54 — Motion to Compel Responses to First Request to Produce and First Set of Interrogatories and DE 70 - Epstein's Reply to Plaintiff's Opposition Motion thereto). Epstein's Motion to Compel (C.M.A. DE 54) and Reply + +The same discovery requests were served upon Jane Doe and Jane Does 2-7. Substantive Motions to Compel seeking production of similar information in those cases were filed and remain outstanding. See Jane Doe DE 27 & 28and Jane Doe 2-7 (specifically, Jane Doe 2 - DE 67-68, Jane Doe 3 — DE 59-60, Jane Doe 4 - DE 74-75, Jane Doe 5 — DE 69-70, Jane Doe 6 - DE 24-25, and Jane Doe 7 — DE 26-27). Those Motions are incorporated herein by reference. + +(C.M.A. DE 70) are incorporated herein by reference. The Motion and the Reply seek basic and elementary discovery. For instance, the Motion and the Reply seek: + +- a. individual and/or joint income tax returns and supporting documentation including W-2 and 1099 forms for 2002-2007 and, as well as all records or documentation relative to the Plaintiff's earnings for the current year; +- b. All bills/expenses from any medical doctor, chiropractor, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors (including any members of the healing arts and related , i.e. drugs, prescriptions, etc.) you claim you incurred as a result of the injuries which are or may be the subject matter of this lawsuit; +- c. All medical reports and/or records from doctors, physicians, (including psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors), hospitals, drug or alcohol facilities or any other person or entity who has rendered treatment to or examined you for any reason after the incident(s) which is the subject matter of this lawsuit; +- d. the names, business addresses, telephone and cell phone numbers, dates of employment, immediate supervisor (name and address) and rates of pay regarding all employers, including selfemployment, for whom you have worked in the past 10 years; this includes listing all sources of income you have received. Answer this question by year, i.e. 1998 — 2009; and +- e. the names, addresses and phone numbers of all males, excluding Mr. Epstein, with whom you have had sexual activity since age 10 (by year) up through your current age. Describe the nature of sexual activity, the date(s) and whether you received money or other consideration from the person. + +(DE 54 & 70) + +8. C.M.A. objected to producing the tax information requested in 4(a) above, which will show where C.M.A. worked, and she also speciously objected to the companion interrogatory (4(d) above) wherein she refuses to identify where she worked for the requested time period. Epstein needs the requested information so his attorneys can + +conduct the appropriate discovery on C.M.A.'s supervisors and co-workers (and others that may be identified during those depositions) in connection with the allegations C.M.A. has made against Epstein in her 89-page Amended Complaint. By virtue of C.M.A. and the other Plaintiffs concealing the above information, Epstein has been prevented from conducting any meaningful discovery, including the taking of any depositions of C.M.A.'s supervisors, co-workers, acquaintances, friends and other third parties. + +9. As stated above, Jane Doe and Jane Does 2-7 made similar objections which are the subject of various Motions to Compel. Epstein needs this information to defend the Plaintiffs' allegations and to prepare for trial. + +10.Next, C.M.A. concedes in her Opposition Motion to Discovery (DE 62) that Epstein is entitled to the information set out in 4(b) & (c) above; however, C.M.A. refuses to produce the information and/or allow the undersigned to list C.M.A.'s full name, date of birth and last four digits of her social security number in any third-party subpoenas in order to obtain those records.3 While this case was filed by C.M.A. on February 23, 2008, Epstein has been prevented from deposing any of the individuals that treated Plaintiff at one time or another!' This results directly from C.M.A.'s tactics to delay and prevent meaningful discovery in hopes that C.M.A. will be able to prevent Epstein from putting on any evidence in defense of his case. The remaining Plaintiffs + +' Attorney, Brad , in case number 08-CIV-080893, agreed to such a procedure. Counsel for Jane Does 2-7, Stuart Mermelstein, refuses to agree to such a procedure and, therefore, continues to substantially delay discovery. Note, many of the Plaintiffs are witnesses in the related cases. Therefore, Plaintiffs' discovery delays negatively effect the progress and trial preparation of each case. + +4 This same argument applies to Jane does 2-7. + +have the same exact goal. Epstein cannot defend this matter with the element of unfair and prejudicial "surprise" is ever so present. Schearbrook Land and Livestock Company v. U.S. et. al, 124 F.R.D. 221 (M.D. Fla. 1988). + +11.ln an effort to move these cases forward and obtain meaningful discovery, Epstein filed his Motion to Compel and Motion to Compel and/or Identify CMA (and Jane Does 2-7) in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Them in Third-Party Subpoenas ("Motions to Identify"). The Motions to Identify are incorporated herein by reference and, for the court's edification, same remain outstanding. Should this Court grant the Motions to Identify, Epstein will be able to obtain discovery he does not currently have in his possession and will be able to take certain depositions of individuals that have yet to be identified.5 Based upon the court's consolidation order, the motion to identify equally applies to C.M.A. and the other Plaintiffs. + +12. Plaintiffs must be identified in other third-party subpoenas (unrelated to those discussed above concerning medical treatment) in order for Epstein to conduct meaningful discovery. Epstein's right to conduct discovery and confront the witnesses has, up through today's date, been unreasonably and unduly restricted as a result of Plaintiffs' delay tactics. + +13. Finally, the information sought in number 4(e) above has not been produced by C.M.A. or the remaining Plaintiffs, despite the case law favoring production. United + +5 In a state court matter filed against Epstein, E.W. v. Epstein, Case No.: 50.2008-CA-028058 XXXXMB AD, the undersigned learned through discovery that the Plaintiff in that case worked at Platinum Gold, Curves Cabaret, Platinum Showgirls, Cheetah, Diamond Dolls, Vegas Cabaret, Spearmint Rhino, Ts Lounge, Pure Platinum, Solid Gold, and The Body Shop. Substantial discovery will take place in that matter of E.W.'s co-workers, supervisors and others that may have information regarding the claims she asserted against Epstein. Epstein should be afforded that same right in the instant matters. + +States v. Bear Stops, 997F.2d 451 (8th Cir. 1993); Balas v. Ruzzo 703So.2d 1076 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), rev. denied, 719 So.2d 286 (Fla. 1998). The information sought in 4(e) is relevant and discoverable even if not admissible at trial. See Motion to Compel and Reply (C.M.A. DE 54 & 70). Once Plaintiffs are required to fully answer the interrogatories, the answers may yield (at alater deposition or through paper discovery): (a) the names of individuals that may have information about Plaintiffs that negate the allegations in their Complaints, (b) how certain acts alleged in their Complaints materially affected their relationships with others or how those acts did not have such an affect on those relationships, and (3) whether Plaintiffs suffered from disorders (e.g., C.M.A.'s claims of bi-polar disorder and manic depression) as a result of other sexual acts prior to the acts alleged in the Complaints. Here, evidence of Plaintiffs' sexual activity with others may show that those sexual activities (which could include assaults once delineated) produced the behaviors that, for instance, C.M.A. attributes to Epstein (e.g., bi-polar and manic depression disorders). Accordingly, answers to the above discovery requests go the heart of Plaintiffs' damages or lack thereof. + +14. Further, pursuant to this Courts Order (C.M.A. DE 68 and in the related matters), Epstein is permitted only to take the Plaintiffs' depositions one time, both as a witness in the other related matters and as aplaintiff in their particular matters. As a result, the discovery schedule coupled with Plaintiffs' delay tactics and the Order (DE 68) is forcing Epstein to take each of the Plaintiffs' depositions without the benefit of other discovery and depositions of individuals that may have knowledge of the claims asserted by Plaintiffs. As such, in the event Plaintiffs produce information after their depositions, this Court's order (DE 68) and the Federal Rules effectively prevent Epstein from taking Plaintiffs' depositions a second time. This is inherently unfair and prejudicial to Epstein. + +# a. Memorandum of Law + +15.Modifying a trial order and the deadlines/schedules thereunder is within the sound discretion of this court. Under the circumstances outlined above, failure to strike these cases from the current docket, continue the trials, and/or to modify the court's scheduling order will prejudice Epstein. Epstein has diligently attempted to comply with the Court's scheduling order but has effectively been prevented from doing so in light of the Plaintiffs' delay tactics during discovery. See supra; Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 16(b)(4)• Altadis USA, Inc. v. NPR, Inc., 2004 WL 444533 (M.D. Fla.)(granting motion to extend discovery and continue trial). + +16. Epstein has shown good cause to obtain a continuance of the trial of this matter and, as well, has shown good cause in order for this court to modify the scheduling order. Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 16(b)(4)("A [scheduling order] may be modified only for good cause and with the judge's consent."). Epstein's counsel has complied with Local Rule 7.6 of the U.S. Southern District by executing and providing the attached Affidavit. Exhibit "A". Epstein cannot, despite his diligence, timely complete discovery by the times outlined in the current scheduling order as a result of the Plaintiffs' delay tactics. Thus, as outlined above, failure to strike these cases from the docket, continue this case to the next available docket and to extend the discovery schedule and remaining deadlines will prejudice Epstein. Epstein has simply not been given the opportunity to obtain and/or conduct any meaningful discovery, which violates Epstein's constitutional + +due process right to defend himself and to seek the production of information that will assist in his defense of the allegations in respective complaints. Plaintiffs cannot reasonably expect Epstein to try these matters with having only been afforded the opportunity to take the deposition of one Plaintiff and not conduct any meaningful discovery on others. + +WHEREFORE, Epstein, through his counsel, requests that this court enter and Order: + +- a. striking these cases from the current trial docket; +- b. continuing the trials of these matters and setting same on new trial dockets at least three months after the current trial dates; or, alternatively, +- c. modifying the current trial schedule to allow for an additional 3 months from the currently set date within which to complete discovery, an additional 2 months from the currently set date within which to complete all substantive pretrial motions, an additional month from the currently set date within which to mediate this matter; and an additional month to complete the remaining deadlines under each of the Court's Trial Orders; and +- d. for such other and further relief as this co deems just and proper. + +By: ROBERT ON, JR., ESQ.

undersigned counsel, hereby file this Motion for Enlargement of Time to Respond to Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery, or Alternatively Motion to Dismiss Sua Sponte, and state as follows: + +- I. Defendant Epstein filed his Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style, et al., in the cases brought by Jane Does No. 2-7 ("Does 2-7") on May 5 and 6, 2009. Under S.D.Fla.L.R. 7.1(C), Does No. 2-7' response is due on May 22, 2009. + - 2. Plaintiffs request an additional twenty (20) days to respond to the Motion to + +Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style, et at This request for enlargement of time of twenty (20) days is necessitated primarily by Plaintiffs desire to have the psychiatric expert who examined the Plaintiffs consider the issue of their public identification and, if appropriate, submit an expert declaration in response to the relief sought in the Defendant's Motion. The enlargement of time requested is sought to provide the expert with adequate time to perform this work. + +3. Additionally, Plaintiffs' counsel has conflicts with other cases and matters which necessitate additional time for a response, including, without limitation, a special set hearing and upcoming trial in John Doe 6 v. Diocese of Orlando, case no. 48-2005-010138-0, Ninth Judicial Circuit for Orange County, Florida; and an upcoming deadline to file Appellant's initial Brief in Jane Doe v. Florida International University Board of Trustees case no. 3D09-414, Florida Third District Court of Appeals. + +4. Plaintiffs' counsel has conferred with Defendant's counsel, Robert Critton and Michael Pike, regarding this request for extension of time. While Defendant's counsel represented that Defendant would consent to an extension of time of one (1) week, until May 29, 2009, Defendant opposes any further extension of time. The grounds stated by Defendant's counsel for opposing the extension of time requested concern the relief sought in Defendant's Motion to Strike Cases from the Current Trial Docket, filed on May 19, 2009. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 respectfully request an enlargement of time until June 11, 2009 to file their response to Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the Style, et at, and for such other and further relief this Court deems just and proper. + +Dated: May 21, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Stuart S.

RESPONSE TO COURT'S ORDER REQUESTING POSITION ON DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STAY IDE 991 + +Comes now the United States, by and through the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney, and files this response to the Court's Order requesting the position of the United States on Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Stay Proceedings [DE 99]. For the reasons set forth below, it is the United States' position that a stay of the proceedings is not necessary and was not contemplated by the Non-Prosecution Agreement between the United States and Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. + +## ISSUE PRESENTED + +The United States is not a party to these lawsuits and, accordingly, is not fully aware of the scope of the proceedings, the range of arguments presented by counsel, and any correspondence or oral communications between the parties in these civil suits. Based on the information presented by the Court and a review of Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Stay and/or Continue Action for Time Certain Based on Parallel Civil and Criminal Proceedings with Incorporated Memorandum of Law (Court File No. 08-CV-80811- MARRA/JOHNSON DE 51-1), and responses thereto filed by various plaintiffs in their suits, the undersigned understands that the Court has requested the position of the United States on the following issue: + +Are there "special circumstances" that require the imposition of a stay of the civil proceedings in the "interests of justice" until the "expiration" of the Non-Prosecution Agreement ["NPA"] between the United States and Epstein? + +By filing this response, the United States does not make itself a party to this litigation and takes no position with respect to the outcome of any of the civil suits; nor does the United States take any position regarding Defendant Epstein's performance of his obligations pursuant to the NPA. The United States also declines to comment on Defendant Epstein's representations regarding past allegations of violations of the NPA by Epstein. The United States files this response solely as amicus curiae at the Court's request and does not waive any procedural or statutory bars to suit. + +# I. STANDARD FOR IMPOSING A DISCRETIONARY STAY + +### A. The Defendant Must Show that the Assertion of His Fifth Amendment Privilege Against Self-Incrimination Would Automatically Result in the Entry of Summary Judgment Against Him. + +"The decision whether or not to stay civil litigation in deference to parallel criminal proceedings is discretionary.... A movant must carry a heavy burden to succeed in such an endeavor." Microfinancial, Inc. v. Premier Holidays Internat'l, Inc., 385 F.3d 72, 77 (1st Cir. 2004) (citations omitted). When a defendant facing possible criminal liability invokes his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination in connection with civil litigation, a court can stay discovery or the entire civil case. v. Jenne, 2007 WL 624286 \*1 (S.D. Fl. Feb. 23, 2007) (Cooke, J.). "However, `the Constitution does not require a stay of civil proceedings pending the outcome of related criminal proceedings. Forcing an individual to risk non-criminal disadvantage by remaining silent for fear of self incrimination in a parallel criminal proceeding does not rise to the level of an unconstitutional infringement?" Id. (quoting Shell Oil Co. v. Altina Assocs., Inc., 866 F. Supp. 536, 540 (M.D. Fl. 1994)). + +As this Court has previously explained: + +The law regarding stays of civil actions is well-settled in the Eleventh Circuit. In United States v. Lot 5, Fox Grove, Alachua County, Fla, 23 F.3d 359, 363- 65 (11th Cir. 1994) ("Lot 5"), the Court articulated the following principles of law with respect to a stay of a civil action pending resolution of a related criminal action: + +[Al blanket assertion of the privilege is an inadequate basis for the issuance of a stay. Rather, a court must stay a civil + +proceeding pending resolution of a related criminal prosecution only when "special circumstances" so require in the "interests of justice." The court may deny a stay so long as the privilege's invocation does not compel an adverse judgment against the claimant. + +[T]he standard set by the Eleventh Circuit as to when a stay should be granted to prevent unconstitutional infringement is more narrow. The law in the Eleventh Circuit requires consideration of whether, as a result of invoking the privilege, the defendant faces certain loss of the civil proceeding on summary judgment if the civil proceeding were to continue. Lot 5, 23 F.3d at 364; Pervis v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co., 901 F.2d 944 (1 1 th Cir. 1990). Under this standard, Movants must show that invocation of the privilege in the instant matter will result in certain loss by automatic summary judgment. United States v. Two Parcels of Real Property, 92 F.3d 1123, 1129 (11th Cir. 1996); Pervis, 901 F.2d at 946-47. This must be an actual adverse judgment, and not "merely the loss of the defendant's most 'effective defense.' Securities & Exchange Comm. v. lncendy, 936 F. Supp. at 955 (S.D. H. 1996); Shell Oil Co., 866 F. Supp. at 540-41. + +Court-Appointed Receiver of Lancer Mgt. Group LLC v. Lauer, 2009 WL 800144 (S.D. Fl. Mar. 25, 2009) (Marra, J.). + +Thus, before reaching the relative benefit and prejudice to each of the parties caused by staying the cases, the Court must determine whether, if defendant Epstein were to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination' and the Court were to allow an adverse inference to be drawn therefrom, an adverse judgment against Epstein would be automatically compelled. The United States respectfully submits that it would not. + +'It appears from a brief review of some of Epstein's discovery responses that Epstein has made a blanket assertion of the privilege. For example, Epstein has asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege in response to a plaintiff's request to produce the NPA and the United States' list of identified victims although these documents were provided to Epstein by the United States. + +From a review of the Complaints filed by the plaintiffs in these cases, it appears that some have filed claims based upon Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, some have filed claims based upon common law torts, and some have filed a combination of the two. Under general principles of tort law, a plaintiff is required to prove: (1) that the defendant committed a bad act; (2) that the plaintiff suffered damages; and (3) that the damages were caused by the defendant's bad act. To succeed on a claim under 18 U.S.C. § 2255, a plaintiff must show: (I) that the plaintiff is a person who, while a minor, was a victim of an enumerated offense committed by the defendant; (2) that the person suffered personal injury as a result of that violation; and (3) the amount of damages she sustained. + +Epstein's assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege could result in the drawing of a negative inference only as to the first element under both of these claims. Therefore, to succeed on summary judgment (or at trial), the plaintiffs would still have to prove that they suffered personal injury/damages as a result of the defendant's bad act. Cf. In re Financial Federated Title & Trust, Inc., 252 B.R. 834, 838 (S.D. Fl. Bank. Ct. 2000) (Stay not warranted in bankruptcy proceeding where criminal indictment was pending because negative inference related only to defendant's receipt of allegedly fraudulent transfers, but "Trustee must still carry the burden of proving all of the elements of his complaint for fraudulent transfers . includ[ingj fraudulent intent, insolvency, and financial condition at the time of the transfers to the Defendants."). + +While Epstein may believe that his arguments and proof as to the first element are his "most effective defense," that alone is insufficient to warrant the imposition of a stay of the + +litigation. There are two other items for the Court to consider in deciding this issue. First, pursuant to the terms of the NPA, as to those victims identified by the United States, Epstein has already made a concession that they are victims of an enumerated offense committed by Epstein. Thus, this inference is drawn not due to his invocation of the right against selfincrimination but due to his entry into a contractual agreement with the United States for which the identified victims are third-party beneficiaries.' Second, in Lot 5, the Eleventh Circuit pointed out the wealth of evidence other than the defendant's testimony that could be used to defeat a liability claim. See Lot 5, 23 F.3d at 364 ("Thus, Claimant's assertion that only her own testimony could vindicate her is groundless; other participants to the illegal acts that gave rise to the forfeiture were available to testify at trial. Claimant's failure to indicate with precision why she did not use other parties' testimony to substantiate her defense was fatal."). For example, Epstein could mount a defense using effective cross-examination, telephone records, travel records, documents within the possession of the plaintiffs or third parties, and/or the testimony of third parties to rebut the plaintiffs' proof. + +'The United States notes that it is not aware of the identities of all of the plaintiffs in the civil suits. To the extent that any are not "identified victims" under the NPA, this contractual provision would not apply.

B. Additional Factors to Consider in Balancing the Prejudice to the Parties

If the Court is persuaded that the negative inference drawn from Epstein's assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege would result in an automatic grant of summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, then the Court must engage in a balancing of equities in determining whether there are "special circumstances" warranting the imposition of a stay "'to prevent a party from suffering substantial and irreparable prejudice." Securites and Exchange Comm'n v. Incendy, 936 F. Supp. 952, 956 (S.D. FL 1996) (quoting S.E.C. v. First Financial Group of Texas, Inc., 659 F.2d 660, 668 (5th Cir. 1981) (add'/ citations omitted).

Examples of "special circumstances" provided by the Supreme Court in [United States v. Kordel] are: (1) if the Government brought the civil action solely to obtain evidence for its criminal prosecution, (2) if the Government failed to advise the defendant in the civil proceeding that it contemplates his criminal prosecution; (3) if the defendant is without counsel or reasonably fears prejudice from adverse pretrial publicity or other unfair injury; or (4) any other special circumstances indicating unconstitutionality or even impropriety.

Incendy at 956 (citing United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. 1, 11 (1970)). See also Securities and Exchange Comm'n v. 261 Fed. Appx. 259, 263 (11th Cir. 2008) ("[N]o 'special circumstances' existed in this case warranting a stay, as there is no record evidence suggesting the Government had brought the civil case solely to obtain evidence for the criminal prosecution or that the criminal case against [defendant] was unconstitutional or inappropriately instituted.").

No "special circumstances" exist here. First, unlike and Incendy, the United States Government is not a party to the civil litigation. Each suit is brought on behalf of an

individual plaintiff represented by private counsel. Some of those plaintiffs are adverse to the United States and have filed suit against the Government based upon its handling of the criminal case against Epstein. (See In re Jane Doe Litigation, Court File No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra.) There has been no allegation, and certainly no showing, that the civil litigation is a ruse to obtain discovery on behalf of the criminal investigation.

As some of the plaintiffs have mentioned, one purpose of the NPA was to place the identified victims in the same position where they would have been if Epstein had been convicted after trial of an offense enumerated in 18 U.S.C. § 2255. (See, e.g., Court File No. 08-CV-80119 DE 49-2.) If Epstein had proceeded to trial and been convicted, those victims would have been entitled to restitution and to file suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, and would have been entitled to the same sorts of discovery that they now seek. None of the plaintiffs has contacted the United States about passing on materials gathered through discovery to any criminal investigators or about seeking discovery that would be relevant only to the criminal proceedings, rather than to their individual cases. If Epstein has legitimate concerns that the civil discovery process is being abused in some way, he can ask the Court for a protective order limiting the scope of discovery or its distribution. Furthermore, if at some time in the future, Epstein were the subject of a criminal indictment and he alleged that the evidence to be used against him was gathered improperly, he could file a motion to suppress or to dismiss the indictment in that criminal action. See, e.g., United States, ex. rel. Westrick v. Second Chance, 2007 WL 1020808 \*4 (D.D.C. Mar. 31, 2007) (Defendant in civil False Claims Act suit moved to stay civil action pending criminal

investigation where no indictment had been returned. The district court denied the motion, noting that while "allowing civil discovery to proceed may afford the government [who was the real party in interest in the civil case] the opportunity to gain evidence that it may not be entitled to under the more restrictive criminal discovery rules, if and when discovery becomes necessary, protective orders and other remedial measures may be taken.") (citations omitted).

By entering into the NPA, with its explicit discussion of 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein acknowledged that the United States was trying to protect the victims' rights to restitution and that civil claims would likely follow. Epstein did not bargain for a stay of those proceedings. Instead, both parties received benefits and gave consideration for the bargain that was struck — while Epstein is faced with answering discovery requests that he would not face during criminal proceedings, he also is entitled to the identification of and extensive discovery from the victims, which he would not have received in the criminal case. Based upon a review of the discovery requests he has promulgated thus far, it appears that Epstein is taking full advantage of this benefit and if a criminal case were ever filed, he would, no doubt, seek to use that information in his defense.'

'With respect to the other "special circumstances" mentioned in Incendy, the government obviously advised Epstein of the potential for criminal charges, and that knowledge led to the negotiation of the NPA. Epstein also has a number of attorneys listed on the Service List for the civil cases and has retained a similarly large number of attorneys to handle the criminal investigation and negotiation of the NPA. Epstein alleges a fear of adverse publicity, but as the plaintiffs have pointed out, during the course of the state and federal criminal investigations, Epstein's personal publicist distributed stories to the press impugning the credibility of the victims and other witnesses and averring that the victims' allegations of abuse were made solely to extract money from the defendant. In the context of some of the civil suits currently pending, Epstein has asked the Court

Unlike and Incendy, Epstein also has not been criminally indicted. In some districts, this alone is virtually dispositive. See, e.g., Sterling Nat'l Bank v. A-I Hotels Internat'l, 175 F. Supp. 2d 573, 576-77 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) ("district courts in this Circuit `generally grant the extraordinary remedy of a stay only after the defendant seeking a stay has been indicted.'" (quoting Citibank, N.A. v. 1993 WL 481335 \*1 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 18, 1993) (add'/ citations omitted). As one court explained:

the consensus that a party seeking a stay bears a heavier burden when he has not yet been indicted derives logically from the balancing test set out by the courts of appeals that have considered the question. When a defendant has been indicted, his situation is particularly dangerous, and takes a certain priority, for the risk to his liberty, the importance of safeguarding his constitutional rights, and even the strain on his resources and attention that makes defending satellite civil litigation particularly difficult, all weigh in favor of his interest. Moreover, if the potential prejudice to the defendant is particularly high post-indictment, the prejudice to the plaintiff of staying proceedings is somewhat reduced, since the criminal litigation has reached a crisis that will lead to a reasonably speedy resolution. Furthermore, at that stage in the criminal proceeding, the contours of the indictment will provide the Court with a reasonable basis for determining the extent of the threat to the defendant's Fifth Amendment rights, and the likely extent and timing of the criminal litigation.

Pre-indictment, these factors must be balanced significantly differently. Though many of the same risks to the civil defendant are present, the dangers are at least somewhat more remote, and it is inherently unclear to the Court just how much the unindicted defendant really has to fear. Conversely, the delay imposed on the plaintiff is potentially indefinite. There is no telling how complicated the government's investigation may be, whether the allegations of the particular civil plaintiff are merely the tip of an iceberg that will result in a lengthy and open-ended investigation, what priority the government assigns to the investigation, whether it will result in charges that will have to

to unseal the victims' names so that he may make use similar press efforts to impugn their credibility.

be litigated, or how time-consuming the resulting criminal case will be. Under these circumstances, the likelihood that a civil party can make the necessary showing to obtain the "extraordinary" remedy of a stay is inevitably much reduced.

Sterling Nat'l Bank, 175 F. Supp. 2d at 577 (internal citations omitted).

The First Circuit has noted that the decision whether to grant a stay "is highly nuanced ... [and] involves competing interests. Balancing these interests is a situation-specific task, and an inquiring court must take a careful look at the idiosyncratic circumstances of the case before it." Microfinancial, supra, 385 F.3d at 78. Epstein's case is more idiosyncratic than most.

As the Court aptly noted in its Order denying Epstein's first motion to stay the civil proceedings, Epstein has not been indicted and there are no criminal proceedings pending against him.' The resurrection of criminal proceedings against Epstein lies entirely within Epstein's own hands, by performing or not performing under the terms of the NPA. This tips the balance of equities even further in favor of the plaintiffs. Epstein makes allegations that the U.S. Attorney's Office has unfettered discretion in determining breaches of the NPA, but this is no different than in any contractual setting. If one party believes that there has been a breach, it may seek the remedy set forth in the contract. If the other party believes that

'Epstein points to provisions requiring him to maintain certain evidence "inviolate" as proof that the grand jury investigation is still active. These provisions are meant only to insure that easily destroyed evidence identified through the investigation, such as computer equipment, that is still in Epstein's control, will still be available to investigators if Epstein does, in fact, breach the NPA. Epstein is well aware that litigation concerning those matters have been removed from the Court's docket, at the insistence of the United States, because it fully halted its investigation in accordance with the terms of the NPA.

there has been no breach, it has a remedy at law or equity. In this situation, Epstein would be entitled to seek dismissal of the indictment. See United States v. Beeks, 167 Fed. Appx 777 (1 1 th Cir. 2006); United States v. 138 Fed. Appx. 965 (9th Cir. 2005); United States v. , 393 F.3d 540 (5th Cir. 2004).

Epstein argues that because he is seeking a finite period of delay — until the time that he asserts that the NPA "expires" — and that, thereafter, he will promptly provide full and complete responses to all discovery, the harm to the plaintiffs is de minimis. With all respect, this overlooks a number of obvious issues. First, if a stay is imposed until Epstein's proposed "expiration date," it affords Epstein one of two incentives: (a) to delay any intended breach until a time when he believes that the United States has no remedy and then to breach the agreement with impunity (Le, to use the NPA as a shield and a sword); or (b) to delay the civil litigation as long as possible (until shortly before the "expiration" of the NPA), and then, after criminal charges have been filed, to seek a mandatory stay of the civil cases until the criminal case is resolved. Thus, contrary to the assertions of Epstein, the delay is not limited but, instead, is "potentially indefinite," as Sterling Bank warns. If the U.S. Attorney's Office were to proceed criminally, the litigation would likely be very lengthy, and would result in an even greater delay to the plaintiffs.5

'The United States also notes that this finite termination to Epstein's exposure to potential criminal consequences is illusory. The NPA addresses only certain victims identified during the course of the government's investigation. To the extent that any of the plaintiffs who have already filed suit against Epstein do not fall within that group, the NPA does not address potential charges based upon crimes committed against them. The NPA also does not bind any other state or federal prosecutor from pursuing charges for criminal acts committed within their jurisdiction(s). The federal statute of limitations for offenses against children is ten years or the life of the child,

The factors to consider include: "(i) the interests of the civil plaintiff in proceeding expeditiously with the civil litigation, including the avoidance of any prejudice to the plaintiff should a delay transpire; (ii) the hardship to the defendant, including the burden placed upon him should the cases go forward in tandem; (iii) the convenience of both the civil and criminal courts; (iv) the interests of third parties; . (v) the public interest[;] (vi) the good faith of the litigants (or the absence of it) and (vii) the status of the cases." Microfinancial, 385 F.3d at 78 (citations omitted).

In considering those factors, the United States respectfully recommends to the Court that all of the factors weigh against a stay. In making its decision, the Court should consider that, unlike all of the cases cited herein, Epstein seeks to stay not one suit involving a single plaintiff, but more than a dozen suits filed by individual plaintiffs. Each of those plaintiffs, in turn, impliedly asserts that she is a "crime victim" with the "right to full and timely restitution" and the "right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay." 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a)(6) & (7). As noted above, one of the purposes of the NPA was to provide these rights to victims identified in the Government's investigation. Thus, this factor weighs more heavily for the plaintiffs than in the average civil dispute as it embodies both the plaintiffs' and the public's interests. The victims who were identified in the government investigation, by and large, were without financial assets and had significant counseling needs that could

whichever is longer. 18 U.S.C. § 3283. Thus, for Epstein (or any other person accused of sexually abusing children) to "wait out" any chance of criminal liability, the court would have to stay civil litigation until all of the plaintiffs have died.

be remedied through obtaining restitution from Epstein. In addition to those needs, they have legitimate concerns about memories fading, witnesses becoming unavailable, and dissipation of Epstein's assets while the matter is stayed. On the other hand, while the potential harm to the defendant normally weighs in the defendant's favor, in this case, Epstein has significant control over whether the criminal investigation remains in abeyance and whether criminal charges are ever filed.

CONCLUSION

In accordance with the Court's Order, the United States hereby submits that it is not aware of any "special circumstances" that warrant staying all of the civil cases pending the "expiration" of the NPA.

Exposure of Plaintiffs to the public disclosure of their identity and the resultant shame and humiliation accompanying their sexual exploitation is wholly unnecessary and premature, and may cause further damage. Plaintiffs respectfully assert that this Court should first decide the threshold issues of retroactivity and calculation of damages. Plaintiffs, and all other victims of Defendant who have filed an action against Defendant in federal court, will have to litigate these two following threshold issues being reviewed by the Court in the C.M.A. action against Defendant (Case No. 08-CV-80811-MARRA/ 1) whether the most recent version of the statute, which provides for a minimum recovery of \$150,000 (instead of the previous minimum of + +Plaintiffs respectfully file this Reply in the consolidated action, as the issue at hand pertains to discovery issues. + +\$50,000) applies to cases arising from incidents predating the 2006 amendment to the statute; and 2) whether the applicable minimum amount is recoverable per incident and/or per count, or per victim. Defendant has attempted to force settlements on any victims as possible without considering the possibility that the minimum amount recoverable under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 is \$150,000 per count and/or per incident. Much of this Court's caseload will be alleviated once the Court resolves these issues related to the minimum recovery; at that point, many of Defendant's victims will likely agree to settle for the minimum statutory damages to which they are entitled, thus obviating Defendant's specified need to destroy his victims' anonymity and expose them to further harm and humiliation. + +2. This Court has discretion to deny Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Plaintiffs in Third Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery. See Doe v. Stegall, 653 F.2d 180, 184 (5th Cir. Aug. 10, 1981)2 ("Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c) vests in the trial court discretion over litigants' requests for protection from 'annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense' in the discovery process.") (internal quotation omitted). As more fully discussed in Plaintiffs' Response to Defendant's Motion to Stay, which is adopted and incorporated herein, Defendant waived his right to contest liability in actions filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255. Thus, third party discovery is relevant only if Plaintiffs seek recovery of damages in excess of the statutory minimum. Additionally, if and when the parties are ready to proceed with discovery from non-party sources, the Court can put numerous measures in place to maximize Plaintiffs' anonymity. At the outset, Defendant can obtain records from + +2 In Bonner v. City of Prichard. 661 F.2d 1206, 1209 (11th Cir. 1981) (en banc). this circuit adopted as binding precedent all decisions of the former Fifth Circuit handed down before October I, 1981. + +various non-party sources through Plaintiffs' counsel, who can demonstrate and certify that they have obtained the very records being sought, or through an independent special who could be given releases by Plaintiffs to obtain such records on behalf of Defendant to eliminate any question of authenticity or completeness. If Defendant nevertheless insists on conducting his own third-party discovery (needlessly increasing the cost of litigating these actions and causing unnecessary delay), subpoenas seeking documents from sources such as health care providers or employers should not disclose the type of action or identify Defendant. Because of the highly-publicized nature of Defendant's crimes as well as his designation as a sexual offender, the mere mention of Defendant's name in any subpoena or deposition notice will automatically expose the subject Plaintiff as one of Defendant's victims and may result in unnecessary public humiliation. Similarly, records custodian depositions do not require the disclosure of the nature of the action and/or the identity of the defendant in the action.3 + +3. Defendant's only purpose in opposing Plaintiffs' motions is harassment. Defendant's intentions are clear. He seeks to destroy these young women by outing them as being among his many victims, a pattern of behavior consistent with his status as a designated sex offender. Defendant openly admits to his desire to reveal the victims' names in newspapers so that individuals in their community can come forward to assault their credibility and tarnish their reputations (and, as a result, their dignity). See Defendant's Response in Opposition to Motion to Proceed Anonymously (DE# 5) at y 6 ("[O]nce the Plaintiff is identified, other individuals come forward in the discovery phase with information which often directly contradicts allegations as to the events and + +3 Depending upon claims of Plaintiffs, certain documents will be relevant.

For instance, witnesses may testify that Plaintiff was paid by others for similar sexual acts she claims Mr. Epstein forced upon her or that she willingly participated in certain acts(s) that would negate or lessen her damages"). Each of Defendant's victims whom undersigned counsel represents continues to experience trauma and humiliation associated with sexual abuse. See Ellen Bass & Laura M, The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse 3 (4th ed. 2008) ("The long-term effects of child sexual abuse can be so pervasive that it's sometimes hard to pinpoint exactly how the abuse affected you. It can permeate everything: your sense of self, intimate relationships, sexuality, parenting, working, even your sanity.")4 The U.S. Supreme Court in Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S. 584, 597 (1977), discussed the grave nature of the crimes at issue in the cases against Defendant, stating: + +[Rape] is highly reprehensible, both in a moral sense and in its almost total contempt for the personal integrity and autonomy of the female victim ... Short of homicide, it is the "ultimate violation of self." + +Defendant committed crimes constituting the "ultimate violation of self" against minors. Because of the disdainful nature of these types of crimes, courts, including the Eleventh Circuit, "have carved out a limited number of exceptions to the general requirement of disclosure, which permit plaintiffs to proceed anonymously." Roe v. Aware Woman Or. for Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 685 (11th Cir. 2001) (internal citation omitted). "The + +4 Although some Plaintiffs no longer live in the Palm Beach area, this should not undermine Plaintiffs' need for anonymity. As the Court in Doe No. 2 v. Kolko, 242 F.R.D. 193, 197 (E.D.N.Y. 2006) (internal citation omitted), points out, "flit is now possible to 'determine whether a given individual is a party to a lawsuit in federal court anywhere in the country by the simplest of computer searches, to access the docket sheet of any such case electronically, and ... that entire case files will be accessible over the Internet." Given the ease with which the public could access court files in these cases, it is reasonable that Plaintiffs' fears extend beyond ostracism in the Palm Beach community. The Palm Beach Post is available online all over the world. In addition, many of Plaintiffs' family members remain in the Palm Beach area and remain unaware of their daughter/granddaughter/nicce's involvement in Defendant's sordid child sex exploitation enterprise. Furthermore. Plaintiffs are exposed to harassment through social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpacc as well as other forms of online harrassment. + +ultimate test for permitting a plaintiff to proceed anonymously is whether the plaintiff has a substantial privacy right which outweighs the customary and constitutionally-embedded presumption of openness in judicial proceedings." Id. (internal quotation and citation omitted). + +4. Cases regarding sexual assault are the paradigmatic examples of the type of highly sensitive and personal matter that warrant a grant of anonymity. See Doe No. 2 v. Kolb), 242 F.R.D. 193, 195-98 (E.D.N.Y. 2006) (adult plaintiff, who, many years later, alleged that he was sexually abused by rabbi at private Jewish school when he was a child, was entitled to proceed anonymously because he feared retaliation and ostracism from his community); Doe v. 202 F.R.D. 173, 176 (E.D. Pa. 2001) (sexual assault victim granted use of pseudonym); Doe v. M, 105 F. Supp. 2d 40, 44 (E.D.N.Y. 1999) (victim of assault, molestation, and sexual abuse granted anonymity because victim otherwise psychologically and emotionally unable to proceed with action); Roe v. Borup, 500 F. Supp. 127, 130 (E.D. Wis. 1980) ("It is beyond argument that [a suit involving charges of sexual abuse of a child] is a highly sensitive issue"; thus, plaintiffs were entitled to use fictitious names in prosecuting the suit); see also Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wis., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir. 1997) ("[F]ictitious names are allowed when necessary to protect the privacy of children, rape victims, and other particularly vulnerable parties or witnesses."). The intensely personal nature of sexual exploitation creates an unusual case, and, in such a case, the general policy of full disclosure should give way to a policy of protecting privacy in a very private matter. This protection is especially necessary when the Court is dealing with young women who recently were sexually abused as minors. + +5. Defendant is using the threat of publicity to attempt to intimidate victims to cause them not to file suit or to settle their claims for the absolute minimum in order for them to avoid being held up to public ridicule and hostility. His intention to attack the victims is at the heart of the protection afforded by numerous rape shield statutes, of which Defendant and his counsel are surely aware. In 1994, Congress amended the Federal Rules of Evidence to promote the strong social policy of protecting a victim's privacy and encouraging victims of crime to come forward. "The reason for extending Rule 412 to civil cases is equally obvious. The need to protect alleged victims against invasions of privacy, potential embarrassment, and unwarranted sexual stereotyping, and the wish to encourage victims to come forward when they have been sexually molested do not disappear because the context has shifted from a criminal prosecution to a claim for damages or injunctive relief." Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note. Rule 412 now provides that, in civil trials in federal court involving alleged sexual misconduct, evidence that the victim engaged in other sexual behavior or evidence offered to prove any alleged victim's sexual predisposition can be admitted only in unusual circumstances, none of which apply to Plaintiffs' cases. Fed. R. Evid. 412 (a), (b). "The rule aims to safeguard the alleged victim against the invasion of privacy, potential embarrassment and sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details and the infusion of sexual innuendo into the factfinding process. By affording victims protection in most instances, the rule also encourages victims of sexual misconduct to institute and to participate in legal proceedings against alleged offenders." Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note; see also Michigan v. Lucas, 500 U.S. 145, 149-50 (1991) (Rape shield statutes represent the valid legislative determination that victims of rape and + +attempted rape "deserve heightened protection against surprise, harassment, and unnecessary invasions of privacy."); United States v. Elbert, 561 F.3d 771, 776-77 (8th Cir. 2009) (evidence that child plaintiffs had previously engaged in prostitution was rightfully excluded in federal sex trafficking suit); Stephens v. 13 F.3d 998, 1010 (7th Cir. 1994) (Cummings, C.J., dissenting) ("The Indiana rape shield statute furthers laudable and pragmatic goals. It protects victims from needless exposure of their sexual past conduct; [and] ensures that the focus of rape trials remains the guilt or innocence of the accused rather than the sexual history of the complainant."); United States v. Kasto, 584 F.2d 268, 271-72 n.3 (8th Cir. 1978) ("[U]nchastity of a victim has no relevance whatsoever to [the victim's] credibility as a witness. Such a proposition would `necessarily imply the absurd (corollary) that the extramarital sexual history of a female witness would be admissible to impeach her credibility in any case in which she testified.") (internal citation omitted). Procedural protections such as the rape shield statutes reduce the embarrassment and anguish of trial, encouraging victims to report sexual offenses and offendors. "Without the protection provided by rape shield statutes, victims may find trial an ordeal not worth enduring." Stephens, 13 F.3d at 1010 (Cummings, C.J., dissenting) (quoting 124 Cong. Rec. HI1944 (1978) (statement of Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman)); see Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note ("Too often in this country victims of rape are humiliated and harassed when they report and prosecute the rape. ... [R]ape trials become inquisitions into the victim's morality, not trials of the defendant's innocence or guilt ...."). Indeed, "many [victims] find the trial almost as degrading as the rape itself." Fed. R. Evid. 412 advisory committee's note. + +6. In addition, Congress enacted the Child Victims' and Child Witnesses' Rights Act (18 U.S.C. § 3509) in an effort to provide protection for victims who, while minors, were victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or sexual exploitation, or who have witnessed a crime committed upon another. One of the primary protections provided by the statute is the restriction on the disclosure of the name of, or other information concerning, the victim. See 18 U.S.C. § 3509(d)(3) (2008). Further, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3509(d)(2), "[a]ll papers to be filed in court that disclose the name of or any other information concerning a child shall be filed under seal without necessity of obtaining a court order." + +7. Indeed, numerous states, including Florida and New York, have enacted laws to protect the anonymity of sexual assault victims. See Fla. Stat. §§ 794.024, 794.026 (2008); N.Y. Civ. Rights Law § 50-b (McKinney 2009). In 1994, the Florida Legislature passed The Crime Victims Protection Act. The legislative stated purpose for passage of the Act was "to protect the identity of victims of sexual crimes." Ha. AGO 2003-56, 2003 WL 22971082 (Dec. 15, 2003) ("[T]he Legislature intended to make the identity of a victim of a sexual crime confidential in a court record or proceeding.") Under Florida Section 794.024 of the Florida Statutes, court records that identify the name and/or address of a victim of a sexual crime are presumed to be confidential and exempt from public access. Id. That statute further imposes criminal and civil liability for the disclosure or communication of information identifying the victim of a sexual crime. Ha. AGO 2003-56, 2003 WL 22971082 (citing Fla. Stat. §§ 794.024, 794.026 (2008)). Similarly, upon approving New York's rape shield law, then Governor Mario stated, "[S]exual assault victims have unfortunately had to endure a terrible + +invasion of their physical privacy. They have a right to expect that this violation will not be compounded by a further invasion of their privacy." 1991 N.Y. Sess. Laws page nos. 2211-12, quoted in Kolko, 242 F.R.D. at 196 (internal citations omitted). + +8. Finally, Defendant should be estopped from outing his victims. Plaintiffs attempted to utilize the process established by the Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") with the reasonable expectation that a specific purpose of the NPA was to allow Defendant's victims to maintain anonymity, only to be subjected to deliberate and unreasonable delays and Defendant's failure to engage in meaningful, good faith settlement discussions. This left Plaintiffs no choice but to file suit. Under these circumstances, Defendant should be estopped from seeking to lift anonymity. + +9. Many of Defendant's victims are awaiting this Court's decision regarding whether they will be allowed to proceed anonymously before making the difficult decision as to whether to pursue their claims against Defendant. All of Defendant's victims and any future victims of sexual exploitation must know that they can protect what remains of their personal dignity when appealing to the Federal Courts for justice. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully move this Court to grant Plaintiffs' Motion to Proceed Anonymously and to deny Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 in Third-Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery. + +Date: May 29, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +PODHURST ORSECK, P.A.

Undersigned counsel seek to file this Response in Opposition to Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Stay under seal in order to abide by this Court's August 21, 2008 Order to Compel Production and Protective Order entered in Case No. 08-80736- CIV-MARRa (the "Protective Order"). The Protective Order prohibits Plaintiffs from disclosing the Non-Prosecution Agreement (the "NPA") or its terms to any third party. The sealed document should be maintained under seal for the duration of this Court's August 21.2008 Protective Order. + +2. Undersigned counsel recognize that this Court has previously unsealed documents referring to the NPA. We seek to comply with the Protective Order for this new and independent filing in an abundance of caution, until directed otherwise by the Court. + +3. If this Court denies Plaintiffs' instant motion, Plaintiffs seek appropriate disclosure of the NPA pursuant to this Court's recent order in Case No. 08-80736-CIV-MARRa (DE #36) denying Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2's motion to unseal the NPA. As stated in that Order, the NPA has not been filed with the Court. Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 would then have "a specific tangible need to be relieved of the restrictions" of the Protective Order because consideration of the terms of the NPA is necessary for this Court to resolve Defendant's Motion to Stay. + +WHEREFORE, + +I. Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to enter an Order granting Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 the right to file under seal their Response in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Stay and/or Continue Action for Time Certain Based on Parallel Civil and Criminal Proceedings With Incorporated Memorandum of Law. + +2. In the alternative, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to unseal the Non-Prosecution Agreement in order to allow Plaintiffs to concretely respond to Defendant's Motion to Stay. + +3. Finally, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to grant such other and further relief to which this Court finds the Plaintiff otherwise entitled. + +Date: May 29, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +PODHURST ORSECK, P.A.

Plaintiffs have not, and will not, engage in any name-calling. For purposes of Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102's Motion for a No-Contact Order ("Motion"), it does not matter whether "many of the alleged victims . were or are admitted prostitutes, dancers at strip clubs . . . or have criminal records or warrants for their arrests . . . ," Def.'s Resp. 4, or whether they were living in a monastery or planning on becoming nuns, lawyers, or judges. This matter is quite simple: The allegations are that, when these victims were minors, Defendant sexually exploited, abused, molested, and/or battered them. Regardless of the victims' character or Defendant's character, it is obvious that Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, a 55-year-old designated sexual offender and convicted felon, should have no contact with his victims. + +2. Defendant makes much ado that one victim allegedly telephoned Jack Goldberger's office to complain that Mr. Goldberger was holding up the matter. Def.'s Resp. 5. We have no reason to doubt the truth of that statement by defense counsel. Unsurprisingly, a 21-year-old homeless, ill, and desperate victim who had waited for settlement funds for seven weeks regretfully may have called Mr. Goldberger's office; but whether she did so has nothing to do with Plaintiffs' Motion. Likewise, if Defendant attempts to telephone undersigned counsel to complain or have any other contact with undersigned counsel, undersigned counsel will handle the matter as professionally as Jack Goldberger did—by refusing to speak to the opposing party. + +3. The troublesome part of Defendant's position is his counsel's statement in the attached correspondence that, pursuant to Rule 4-4.2 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, "parties to a matter may communicate directly with each other In this case, Plaintiffs' counsel are concerned that Defendant or his agents may assert that alleged right, and we vehemently disagree that they should have that prerogative in these Plaintiffs' cases. No legal justification exists for Defendant or his agents to have any direct communications with victims whom Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, sexually exploited, abused, molested, and/or battered. + +In his Response, see Def.'s Resp. 4, and in his letter, counsel for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, professes that "it is not Mr. Epstein's intention to have any direct contact with [our] clients." This statement poses two significant problems. First, it leaves the door open for Defendant's investigatorts) or other agent(s) to contact the victims. Such contact would not be direct and would not be inconsistent with his professed intention to refrain from direct contact with his victims. See, e.g., v. All State Home Mortgage, Inc., No. 08-3564, 2009 WL 1391527, at \*1 (6th Cir. May 15, 2009) (intimidation of plaintiffs-loan officers with contentious relationship with defendant-mortgage company + +through threatening phone calls by defendant's employees considered indirect contact in violation of no-contact order in civil suit claiming violation of Fair Labor Standards Act); Commonwealth v. = 661 N.E. 2d 666, 666-67 (Mass. App. Ct. 1996) (defendant's anonymous delivery of flowers to victim considered indirect contact in violation of nocontact order). Second, Defendant's counsel does not state that Defendant will not have any contact with his victims. He merely states Defendant's intentions. Unfortunately, the last five months is replete with other incidents in which Defendant, through his counsel, has stated his intentions and thereafter changed his mind. Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, feels free—and actually is free—to change his mind and his stated intentions. His victims deserve more than that. Because they are traumatized and fearful, they require for their security a firm, unambiguous commitment that Defendant will not directly or indirectly contact either of them; considering the situation, any secure commitment is attainable only via a Court order. Plaintiffs cannot emotionally afford to be in a position in which Defendant can unilaterally change his mind. + +4. In the event that Defendant wants to be present at the deposition of a Plaintiff or at a Court hearing where a Plaintiff is to attend, the Court can easily resolve such situations at that time. Meanwhile, the sole purpose of Defendant's refusal to agree to not contact these Plaintiffs is to leave them intimidated and in fear of being in the presence of the man who has sexually exploited, abused, molested, and/or battered them. One would think that, instead, Defendant would have voluntarily agreed with Plaintiff? prior request to have no contact directly or indirectly, including through his agents, and would want to demonstrate to the Court that he will not contact his victims; his refusal to stay away from them is nothing short of disturbing. + +5. Although not requested, if Defendant's counsel seeks some type of reciprocity, Plaintiffs' counsel would agree in writing, and would not oppose a Court order prohibiting Plaintiffs from contacting Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein. It is obvious to undersigned counsel that there should be absolutely no contact between the parties to these lawsuits. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request this Court to enter an Order prohibiting Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and/or his agents from directly or indirectly contacting them. + +Dated: June 4, 2009. + +Respectfully submitted, + +PODHURST ORSECK, P.A.

Life Care Plans R Testimony + +## DECLARATION OF GILBERT KLIMAN, M. D. + +June 4, 2009 + +## RE: EXPECTATION OF HARM FROM DISCLOSING THE PLAINTIFFS' IDENTITIES IN DOES V JEFFREY EPSTEIN + +- 1. I, Gilbert W. Kliman, M.D., of 2105 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, California, CA. Physicians License G55912, declare the following under penalty of penury: +- 2. I have been retained by plaintiffs' law firm, Memielstein & Horowitz, to give expert testimony. If called as a witness, I would testify truthfully and competently concerning my psychiatric findings about each of the plaintiffs' alleged experiences of sexual abuse, and the enduring effects that I find each of the young women have suffered as a direct result of the sexual acts perpetrated by the defendant. 3.1 have been asked to respond to the Defense motion, which requests that some of the plaintiffs, who are now adults, should be publicly named. It is my opinion that involuntary public disclosure will result in the plaintiffs experiencing revictimization, albeit by a justice system that is designed to protect them. If their identities are released, the victims will be at-risk of having their personal lives scrutinized by friends, extended family, spouses, children, fellow students, employers and fellow employees, the media and general public. This type of exposure humiliates many victims and represents another betrayal of trust. Public exposure places the plaintiffs at further risk of stigmatization, shame and retraumatization. +- 4. Due to traumatization the plaintiffs are arrested in their development, and even those who are now legally adults are arrested in part to adolescent aspects of psychology. +- 5. The plaintiffs do not hold their heads high with pride for having been sexually controlled by Mr. Epstein. They hold their heads low with shame. The internal life of a typical adolescent, into late adolescence and early adult years in the best of circumstances, usually involves generous proportions of self-consciousness, shame, selfabsorption and self-doubt and self-blame about sexual acts. + +6. Clinically harmful levels of shame, self-consciousness, self-doubt and self-blame are even more prominent among victims of molestations than among the general population. + +7. Molested teenagers are particularly vulnerable to wrongful manipulations and special clinical harms from the experiences of shame and humiliation. In fact, shame and efforts to cope with it played an underlying role in the harm to each plaintiff. Each was lured into Mr. Epstein's sexual lair with the promise of overcoming bodily and sexual shame by earning money and bettering their lot in life. The defendant capitalized on their sexual naiveté, insecurities and effort to better themselves, and he worked hard to overcome their shame at his enlistment of them in his selfish gratifications. + +8. The defendant who wishes to make their identities public is one whom the criminal justice system has already determined is a person who has already committed a crime of child molestation. That surely means he has already exploited and manipulated the girls' state of adolescent sexuality, including their embarrassment, awkwardness and bodily self-consciousness. He perverted their nascent and developing moral structures by posing as a generous, avuncular mentor who could coach them about their bodies, sex and love. + +The exploitation of adolescent bodies, sex and love is – from a psychoanalytic point of view – an influence on the developing moral conscience of the children, as well as on their sexual urges. Now the ravaging of their internal and private moral conscience is intended by the perpetrator to be made a public ravaging. + +9. Among sexual trauma victims, the insidious and destructive persistence of shame, humiliation and associated self-blame is well-documented (Finkelhor and [REDACTED], 1985). Stigmatization, as experienced by a sexual trauma victim, has especially painful and pathologic consequences. Shame lingers and becomes integrated within the adolescent victim's malleable emerging identity, character structure and self image. Moral clarity is distorted. Perceptions of self-blame and guilt are magnified. The impact of shame lends to cultivating a self image of being "spoiled goods." + +10. Stigmatization following sexual trauma results in long-term risks that can negatively shape multiple facets of adult development: sexual, emotional, interpersonal and vocational. Stigmatization, which is generally to be avoided among psychiatric patients, increases risks among those – as in our plaintiffs as a group – who experience clinical depression and self-destructive behaviors: drug use, criminal activity, even prostitution. + +Stigmatization following abuse is associated with delinquency due to increased anger and affiliation with deviant peers (Feiring et al., 2007). + +11. Shame and guilt are important dimensions of both complex and single event, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of shame are associated with feelings of helplessness and powerlessness, which each of the plaintiffs endorsed experiencing in relation to Mr. Epstein. + +12. The DSM-IV-TR recognizes both powerlessness and helplessness as requisite parts of the traumatic experience in Criterion A for the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma ([REDACTED] Seligman, recent Past President of the American Psychological Association, coined relevant terms of “learned helplessness and “Loss of Personal Locus of Control.” See Seligman, M.P. 1975: Helplessness, Depression, Development and Death. W. H. Freeman, San Francisco). The teenaged girls suffered the loss of personal locus of control to a much more experienced, sexually aggressive, powerful and dominant, manipulative perpetrator. + +13. Releasing names of the plaintiffs to the public will reenact experiences of powerlessness and helplessness in the face of a boundary violation. Repetition and reenactment represent central features of Criterion B in the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma. In effect, release of their identity and public intrusion into their personal life represents a reenactment of the shame of sexual traumatization. Repetition and reenactment are central pathologies that afflict sexual trauma survivors. + +14. Victims of sexual abuse often rely upon some form of dissociation, splitting or denial, as a defensive means to manage overwhelming affects associated with the sexual trauma. Each of the plaintiff girls has employed some variation of this defense, both during the massages and then subsequently following disclosure of the abuse. Primitive, maladaptive responses of this nature will become additionally reinforced as a result of public disclosure. + +15. Another aspect of the plaintiffs’ experience, which is recognized by DSM-IV-TR, is that the trauma was associated with human design factors (such as cruel intention to do harm, rape, torture). Trauma of this origin has a tendency to produce more “severe or long lasting” posttraumatic stress disorder than natural events (DSM IV TR p. 464). A policy of deliberate revelation of the names of the victims would reinforce the sense of design, pattern and policy of human intentions. + +16. Negative expectations about significant activities are noted in DSM-IV-TR, as part of Criterion C. Symptoms of foreshortened future are characteristic of a traumatized individual’s clinical course (C4). They expect revictimization. They expect bad outcomes (C7) in their social, educational, vocational, relational plans. They are hypervigilant (Criterion D4) for further trauma, and this affects lifestyle choices and future planning. Hypervigilance is part of the arousal set of criteria. Public disclosure of the victims’ identity will aggravate existing symptoms of hypervigilance. + +17. The DSM-IV-TR diagnostic category of “chronic” is justified for each of the plaintiffs. Scientific literature shows that the prognostic consequences of PTSD and residual effects may last for decades (U.S. Dept. of Health, 2005; *Issues in Child Abuse Prevention Number 9 Autumn 1998*: Long-term Effects of Child Sexual Abuse, Paul E Mullen and Jillian Fleming). The lasting impact upon character, identity and moral development will probably affect long-term influences upon adult development. It is more probable than not that stigmatization associated with public disclosure of the + +plaintiffs' identities will intensify the scope, nature and severity of the chronic symptom course. + +18. In addition to PTSD, shame and humiliation themselves have also been associated with causing clinical depression. Coexisting PTSD and clinical depression places the plaintiff's at increased risk for re-victimization and high risk sexual behaviors (e.g., sexually transmitted disease, premature pregnancy, rape) (Nelson, 2002), and at greater risk to victimize others (Filipas and Ullman, 2006; Desai, Centers for Disease Control, 2002) who are in their control. Studies have also shown that chronic symptoms of PTSD, in association with a single episode of Major Depressive Disorder, can produce lifetime adjustment difficulties, which include suicidality (Oquendo et al, 2005; Dube et al, CDC, 2001; Rohde, J. Am. Acad. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2005). The plaintiffs will be additionally vulnerable to these clinical outcomes, if they suffer the stigmatization and humiliation associated with public disclosure of their identities. + +19. Alternative hypothesis: I have applied the evidence shown from examination and testing of the plaintiffs and relevant observations and information from other professionals while testing an alternative hypothesis: that no harm would result from public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities. During the evaluations with the six plaintiffs, I used generally acceptable criteria for establishing whether a DSM-IV-TR disorder occurred. I established that there were provable and diagnosable injuries, primarily posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid depression. Based upon these diagnostic signs, it is more probable than not, that exposing the plaintiff's identity to the public is not a trivial concern or one without substantial clinical repercussions. I believe that most child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists would share the opinion that additional psychiatric injury will result from such exposure. + +20. However, consider for the sake of argument, that my diagnostic conclusions are incorrect, notwithstanding having fulfilled standard psychiatric evaluation procedures of taking a history from multiple sources, videotaping and transcribing my initial interview, and reviewing available medical and legal documents. Even if this was the case, and my diagnostic conclusions were faulty, I believe that multiple experts, even those who may now propose publication of the victims' names, would still come to a conclusion that the plaintiff's suffered sexual abuse, and in some cases, multiple acts of ongoing abuse, at the hands of Jeffery Epstein. Even without developing a subsequent disorder, there is much clinical evidence and scientific literature showing likelihood of substantial psychiatric harm to these sexually abused plaintiffs. + +21. To form these conclusions, I have used my extensive experience in forming these opinions. That experience is both as a treating child psychiatrist and separately as a forensic psychiatrist. I have treated hundreds of minor patients, as well as additionally evaluated hundreds of children and adolescents who have suffered sexual abuse. I have made long term followups of many of the children and have treated many adults who have been molested as adolescents. It is my opinion, with a reasonably high degree of medical certainty that the defense motion to allow public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities is clinically and ethically a wrongful plan. The act of revealing their identities against their wishes places the plaintiffs at risk, in the best of circumstances, of suffering + +an aggravation of existing diagnostic concerns. It is more probable than not that releasing personal identities will [REDACTED] an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization. + +I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing statements are true and correct, and that this declaration was executed at San Francisco, California on June 4, 2009. + +Sincerely, + +![]()Gilbert Kliman, M.D. + +Distinguished Life Fellow, American Psychiatric Association + +Senior Fellow, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry + +[REDACTED] Brockman Award Holder, for Distinguished Lifetime Contributions to + +Psychoanalysis and Psychiatry, bestowed by the American College of Psychoanalysis and Psychiatry + +![](_page_4_Picture_23.jpeg) + +State of California, City & County of San Francisco + +Subscribed and sworn to (or affirmed) before me on this + +24 day of June 2009, by Gilbert Kliman + +proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence to be the person(s) who appeared before me. + +![]() \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740036/EFTA02740036.metadata.json b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740036/EFTA02740036.metadata.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..29ffe70925cf10904728eb84180638ea3b0fcbc9 --- /dev/null +++ b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740036/EFTA02740036.metadata.json @@ -0,0 +1,250 @@ +{ + "source_pdf": "/home/robbd/my/apps/epstein-index/data/raw/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740036.pdf", + "engine": { + "marker_major": "2", + "marker_version": "2.0.0", + "mode": "balanced", + "use_llm": false, + "force_ocr": false, + "disable_ocr": false, + "output_format": "markdown", + "preserve_source": false + }, + "fingerprint": "d889ea60d5548ac4", + "pages": 5, + "chars": 13382, + "elapsed_seconds": 12.76, + "image_assets": [ + "_page_4_Picture_23.jpeg" + ], + "marker_metadata": { + "table_of_contents": [ + { + "title": "The Psychological Trauma Center \na division of Preventive Psychiatry Associates Medical Group, Inc.", + "heading_level": null, + "page_id": 0, + "polygon": [ + [ + 165.24, + 64.80000000000001 + ], + [ + 443.5374755859375, + 64.80000000000001 + ], + [ + 443.5374755859375, + 91.09259033203125 + ], + [ + 165.24, + 91.09259033203125 + ] + ] + }, + { + "title": "DECLARATION OF GILBERT KLIMAN, M.

Under the leadership of Gilbert Kliman, M.D., the Center has trained members of our teaching and school psychology staff to carry out a mental health service on our premises. We now have acollaborative project in its sixth year for our special education preschool children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) and for those with Serious Emotional Disorders (SED) which interfere with their education. As an alternative to sending children to aprivate nonpublic special education school for extremely intensive mental health services at significant cost, this project has created and provides just such intensive service within apublic preschool special class program at 65 Tower Road, San Mateo. + +To my knowledge, among the 30 children served so far under the collaborative project, we are seeing cognitive, social and human gains which have decreased the gap between these children and their typically developing peers. Several families and children are thriving with less intensive special education service or returned to regular education class. Not only has the family and child suffering been reduced, the burden to taxpayers is also reduced. The children have been able to remain in the community, and some who were functioning as severely autistic and retarded now appear to be developing within asomewhat normal range. We are pleased with the quality of special education services our County provides for preschoolers with PDD or SED. We are also gratified with the research results provided by The Children's Psychological Health Center. + +We recommend the Cornerstone project to other school systems, so that they consider it an important opportunity should they be able to collaborate similarly with The Children's Psychological Health Center. At Califirnia's common cost of \$15,000 to \$40,000 or more a year, for a special education child who needs full time special education services and auxiliary intensive help, the savings for even one child's 12-year career of intensive services in special education can be substantial. The savings from one of the successes we have seen may equal the costs of the entire Cornerstone project with the 30 children helped so far. + +We have not yet seen any failures. The agency is showing measurable cognitive gains for our collaborative work which, according to their research, averages 20 to 28 points in independent WPPSI testing of the children in the Cornerstone program. The techniques are far more economical to use than we have found with the Lovaas method, which we also implement for some students. We have also seen the techniques transmitted to special education teachers as well as inexperienced therapists. + +Iinvite you to visit our project in action. + +Sincerely, + +JAYS. PARMA Ed.D.

He has testified in over 275 cases including over 100 trials. A Federal Rule 26 list is available on request and on www.expertchildpsychiatry.com. His courtroom and deposition testimony experience includes cases of institutional negligence of children leading to psychological trauma, negligent care, loss of parental services due to wrongful deaths, psychological trauma as part of personal injury of adults and children, childhood molestation, sexual harassment, termination of parental rights, and disputed custody. Since 2000 about 30% of his forensic work has been requested by defense, about 70% by plaintiffs, with the defense tasks increasing markedly in recent years. + +Dr. Kliman's evaluations and testimony regarding 16 children negligently cared for and abused at The Kiwanis' OK Boys' Ranch, Olympia, WA, helped lead to settlements and awards, totalling \$25,000,000. Responding to disclosures in that case, many improvements have occurred in the publicly funded and licensed institutional care of children throughout the State of Washington, according to newspaper accounts. + +Dr. Kliman's evaluations and opinions, together with that of The Children's Psychological Trauma Center team led by Robert Wynne MFCC, led to record-making \$8,000,000 loss of parental and other services compensation for 17 bereaved subsistence-economy Alaskan Inupiat Native Americans Ili vs. Ryan Airlines, Anchorage, 1997). + +Principal expert regarding institutional negligence and psychological damages in Does vs. Rudolph Kos and the Diocese of Dallas, Dallas 1997.

The lawsuits filed by JANE DOES 2-7 involve private, intimate facts pertaining to their own childhood sexual abuse and exploitation by Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. + +2. Jane Does 2-7 filed their suits under a pseudonym' to prevent public disclosure of the private, highly sensitive and intimate facts pertaining to their sexual assaults, and the public association of their identities with Defendant Epstein and these assaults. + +3. Dr. Gilbert Kliman,' a well-known forensic psychiatrist with an expertise in the field of child trauma, has met with and evaluated each of Jane Does 2-7 and opined that public disclosure of their real names would create a substantial risk to them of further psychological harm. See Exhibit "A", Declaration of Gilbert Kliman, M.D. + +4. Dr. Kliman opines as follows: + +Releasing names of the plaintiffs to the public will reenact experiences of powerlessness and helplessness in the face of a boundary violation. Repetition and reenactment represent central features of Criterion B in the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma. In effect, release of their identity and public intrusion into their personal life represents a reenactment of the shame of sexual traumatization. Repetition and reenactment are central pathologies that afflict sexual trauma survivors. + +Victims of sexual abuse often rely upon some form of dissociation, splitting or denial, as a defensive means to manage overwhelming affects associated with the sexual trauma. Each of the plaintiff girls has employed some variation of this defense, both during the massages and then subsequently following disclosure of the abuse. Primitive, maladaptive responses of this nature will become additionally reinforced as a result of public disclosure. + +Another aspect of the plaintiffs' experience, which is recognized by DSM-IV-TR, is that the trauma was associated with human design factors (such as cruel intention to do harm, rape, torture). Trauma of this origin has a tendency to produce more "severe or long lasting" posttraumatic stress disorder than natural events (DSM IV TR p. 464). A policy of deliberate revelation of the names of the victims would reinforce the sense of design, pattern and policy of human intentions. + +It is my opinion, with a reasonably high degree of medical certainty that the defense motion to allow public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identity is clinically + +1 Defendant and his counsel are aware of the real names of Jane Does 2-7. + +2 A copy of the curriculum vitae of Dr. Gilbert Kliman is attached hereto as Exhibit "B". + +and ethically a wrongful plan. The act of revealing their identity against their wishes places the plaintiffs at risk, in the best of circumstances, of suffering an aggravation of existing diagnostic concerns. It is more probable than not that releasing personal identities will an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization. + +Exhibit "A", in 13-15, 21 + +5. Given the private nature of the allegations in this lawsuit and the serious risk of harm to the mental health of Jane Does 2-7 if a public disclosure of their identities were required, Jane Does 2-7 should be permitted to continue using a pseudonym in this lawsuit. + +6. Notably, in one of the cases consolidated for purposes of discovery, Jane Doe v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 08-80893, this Court recognized the harm likely to result from public disclosure of the victims' identities in these cases, and allowed the Plaintiff in that case to "proceed in this action under the pseudonym 'Jane Doe' ", by Order dated October 6, 2008. + +7. Jeffrey Epstein sets forth no facts to support his bare contention that Jane Does 2- 7 use of a pseudonym in these proceedings interferes with his "constitutional due process right." Sste Motion to Compel, p. 3. Defendant and his counsel know the identities of these Plaintiffs. + +8. Defendant also requests the Court's permission to use the real names of Jane Does 2-7 in various third-party subpoenas for discovery purposes. Defendant does not identify any of the entities or persons to whom he intends to send subpoenas. An order granting the relief requested without limitations would essentially nullify Jane Does 2-7's right to proceed anonymously. Jane Does 2-7 therefore object to the issuance of third-party subpoenas, and submit that Defendant can obtain the discovery he seeks by alternative means that will preserve the confidentiality of the Jane Does 2-7's identities. + +9. If this Court were to permit third party subpoenas or records custodian depositions using the existing captions and identifying Jane Does 2-7 in the body of the subpoena by their names, due to publicity surrounding the Defendant's crimes, then Jane Does 2- 7 would effectively be revealed as abuse victims in these cases against Defendant Epstein. Any subpoenas or notices to third parties therefore should not disclose the type of action or the Defendant's identity. There are alternatives which would preserve Jane Does 2-7's anonymity and be more efficient and cost-effective at the same time. For instance, Defendant can obtain records from various non-party sources through Plaintiffs' counsel, who can certify that they have obtained the records through authorizations signed by Jane Does 2-7. Another means to obtain non-party records concerning Plaintiffs is the appointment of a special =, who would verify authenticity and completeness of the records. + +10. Finally, Jeffrey Epstein's request that this Court order a "sua sponte" dismissal is illogical. Sua spank means "hvlithout prompting or suggestion; on its own motion." Black's Law Dictionary 1437 (7th ed.1999). Thus, the definition of sua sponte does not fit these circumstances, because the Court is being prompted by Epstein's Motion. Velchez v. Carnival Corp" 331 F.3d 1207 (11th Cir. 2003). In any event, there is no basis or authority to support a dismissal of these cases. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 respectfully request that (i) this Court deny Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Plaintiffs in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third-Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery, or Alternatively, Motion to Dismiss "Sua Sponte", in its entirety; (ii) Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 be permitted to continue using their pseudonyms in this litigation; (iii) this Court order that records from non-parties relating to Jane Does 2-7, including medical and employment records, only be obtained through Plaintiffs' counsel by means of signed authorizations that do not include the caption or identify Epstein as the party seeking records, or alternatively, appoint a special to obtain the records, who would verify authenticity and completeness of the records; and (iv) all other relief this Court deems just and appropriate. + +# MEMORANDUM OF LAW + +#### 1. PLAINTIFFS JANE DOES 2-7 SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO PROCEED ANONYMOUSLY IN THIS CASE DUE TO THE SENSITIVE, PRIVATE NATURE OF THE UNDERLYING FACTS AND THE RISK OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM TO THE PLAINTIFFS + +Federal courts permit a party to proceed under a pseudonym when special circumstances warrant anonymity. See, e.g., Roe v. Aware Woman Ctr. for Choice, Inc., 253 F.3d 678, 685-87 (11th Cir.2001); Does I thru XXIII v. Advanced Textile Corp., 214 F.3d 1058, 1068-69 (9th Cir.2000); James v. Jacobson, 6 F.3d 233, 238-39 (4th Cir.1993); EW v. New York Blood Center, 213 F.R.D. 108, 110-12 (E.D.N.Y.2003); Javier v. =-Botello, 211 F.R.D. 194, 196 (W.D.N.Y.2002); Doe v. 105 F.Supp.2d 40, 43.44 (E.D.N.Y.1999); Doe v. United Servs. Life Ins. Co., 123 F.R.D. 437, 439 (S.D.N.Y. 1988). Sexual assault victims are a paradigmatic example of those entitled to a grant of anonymity. See Doe No. 2 v. Kolko, 242 F.R.D. 193 (ED. N.Y. 2006); Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wisc., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir.1997) ("fictitious names are allowed when necessary to protect the privacy of ... rape victims, and other particularly vulnerable parties or witnesses"); see also Doe v. City of Chicago, 360 F.3d 667, 669 (7th Cir. 2004). + +The decision whether to allow a plaintiff to proceed anonymously is within the court's discretion. See Aware Woman Or., 253 F.3d at 684; Javier, 211 F.R.D. at 195; EW, 213 F.R.D. at 110. As set forth above, this Court exercised its direction in one of the consolidated cases, Jane Doe v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 08-80893, to allow a plaintiff to proceed under the pseudonym "Jane Doe" in an Order dated October 6, 2008. + +Courts will permit a party to proceed under a pseudonym where "the party's need for anonymity outweighs prejudice to the opposing party and the public's interest in knowing the party's identity." Does I Thru XXIII, 214 F.3d at 1068; see Javier, 211 F.R.D. at 195; EW, 213 F.R.D. at 111; As set forth herein, the balancing test in this case weighs in favor of permitted plaintiff to continue to proceed anonymously: + +> In undertaking this balance, courts have considered such facts as (1) whether the plaintiff is suing the government or a private person; (2) whether the plaintiff would be compelled to disclose intimate information; (3) whether plaintiff would be compelled to his or her intention in engage in illegal conduct, thereby risking criminal prosecution; (4) whether the plaintiff would risk injury if identified; (5) whether the party defending against a suit brought under a pseudonym would thereby be prejudiced; (6) the ages of the parties whose identity is to be suppressed; (7) the extent to which the identity of the litigant has been kept confidential; (8) whether, because of the purely legal nature of the issues presented or otherwise, there is an atypically weak public interest in knowing the litigants' identities; and (9) the public interest in guaranteeing open access to proceedings without denying litigants access to the justice system. + +Doe v. Del Rio 241 F.R.D. 154, 157 (S.D. N.Y. 2006) + +The public has a strong interest in protecting the identities of sexual assault victims so that other victims will not be deterred from reporting such crimes. See Doe v. , 202 F.R.D. 173, 176 (E.D.Pa.2001) (granting anonymity to sexual assault victim); Doe No. 2 v. Kolko, 242 F.R.D. 193 (E.D. N.Y. 2006). That is particularly true in these consolidated cases where there are numerous victims with similar claims. Although these cases have gained considerable media attention, there appears to be little public interest in knowing the specific identity of each of the victims. + +With regard to the second factor, courts have granted anonymity to protect against disclosure of a wide range of issues involving matters of the utmost intimacy, including sexual assault. See, e.g., Aware Woman Ctr., 253 F.3d at 685 (abortion); EW, 213 F.R.D. at II I (infection with hepatitis B); Doe v. 202 F.R.D. 173, 176 (E.D.Pa.2001) (sexual assault victim); M, 105 F.Supp.2d at 42 (sexual assault victim); WGA v. Priority Pharmacy, Inc., 184 F.R.D. 616, 617 (E.D.Mo.1999) (status as AIDS patient); Doe v. United Servs. Life Ins. Co., 123 F.R.D. 437, 439 (S.D.N.Y.1988) (sexual orientation); see also Blue Cross, 112 F.3d at 872 (recognizing rape victims as entitled to anonymity). It cannot be reasonably denied that a person's sexual history — especially during their childhood — is an intimate fact. When the childhood sexual history includes criminal sexual contact by an adult, the facts are even more intimate and personal. In the electronic age in which we live, these concerns are heightened. As federal courts have recognized in this context, it is now possible to "determine whether a given individual is a party to a lawsuit in federal court anywhere in the country by the simplest of computer searches, to access the docket sheet of any such case electronically, and ... that entire case files will be accessible over the Internet." Doe v. City of New York, 201 F.R.D. 100, 102 (S.D.N.Y.2001) (denying anonymity where any injury was purely reputational and case did not involve private or intimate matter); see EW, 213 F.R.D. at 112-13. + +As Dr. Kliman explains in his Declaration, disclosure of Jane Does 2-7's identities will place these Plaintiffs "at-risk of having their personal lives scrutinized by friends, extended family, spouses, children, fellow students, employers and fellow employees, the media and general public. This type of exposure humiliates many victims and represents another betrayal of trust. Public exposure places the plaintiffs at further risk of stigmatization, shame and retraumatization." See Exhibit "A" at 1 3. Dr. Kliman also finds it of no consequence that some of the plaintiffs are now legally adults in that "Niue to traumatization the plaintiffs are arrested in their development, and even those who are now legally adult are arrested in part to adolescent + +aspects of psychology." Id. at 1 4 + +The policy of protecting victims of sexual misconduct from undue embarrassment and disclosure of their private affairs is firmly established in Fed.R.Evid. 412. The protections of Rule 412 are designed to "encourage victims of sexual misconduct to institute and participate in legal proceedings against alleged offenders." (Committee Notes to 1994 Amendment). Likewise, many states in this country, including Florida and New York, have similarly enacted laws to protect the anonymity of sexual assault victims. See Fla. Stat. §§794.024, 794.026 (2008); N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 50-b (McKinney 2009). In 1994, the Florida Legislature passed The Crime Victims Protections Act. The legislative stated purpose for the Act was "to protect the identity of victims of sexual crimes." Fla. AGO, 2003-56, 2003 WL 22971082 (Dec. 15, 2003). Under §794.024, Florida Statutes, court records that identify the name and/or address of a victim of a sexual crime are presumed to be confidential and exempt from public access. Id. Similarly, upon approving New York's rape shield law, then Governor Mario stated, "sexual assault victims have unfortunately had to endure a terrible invasion of their physical privacy. They have a right to expect that this violation will not be compounded by a further invasion of their privacy." 1991 McKinney's Sessions Laws of N.Y., at 2211-2212 (quoted in Deborah S. v. Diorio, 153 Misc.2d 708, 583 N.Y.S.2d 872 (N.Y.Ciry Civ.Ct.1992)); see also Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S. 584, 597, 97 S.Ct. 2861, 53 L.Ed.2d 982 (1977) ("Short of homicide, [rape] is the ultimate violation of self'). + +As to the fourth factor of risk injury, Dr. Kliman has evaluated Jane Does 2-7, and has concluded that the childhood sexual abuse at issue has caused features of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including shame, guilt, helplessness, and powerlessness. See Exhibit "A" at III 4-7. Dr. Kliman further states, "it is more probable than not that releasing personal identities will an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization." Id. at 1 21. Thus, this is not a case analogous to those cited by defendant in which the plaintiffs were merely at risk of "personal embarrassment." Instead, there is a genuine and immediate risk of psychological harm. + +None of the cases cited by Defendant where courts denied a plaintiff's request for anonymity involved victims of childhood sexual assault or evidence of emotional or psychological harm that would result from disclosure of the plaintiff's identity. See Doe v. Hartz, 52 F.Supp.2d 1027 (N.D.Iowa 1999); Doe v. Shakur, 164 F.R.D. 359 (E.D.N.Y.1996); Doe v. Bell Atlantic Bus. Sys. Servs., 162 F.R.D. 418 (D.Mass.1995); Doe v. Univ. of Rhode Island, 28 Fed.R.Serv.3d 366, 1993 WL 667341 (D.R.I. Dec. 28, 1993). + +As to the factor of prejudice, the Defendant does not identify how his ability to conduct discovery or impeach Jane Does 2-7's credibility has been or will be impaired if these Plaintiffs are permitted to proceed under a pseudonym. See EW, 213 F.R.D. at 112, 105 F.Supp.2d at 44-45. Other than the need to make redactions and take measures not to disclose these Plaintiffs' identities, Defendant will not be hampered or inconvenienced merely by Plaintiffs' anonymity in court papers. As set forth above, Defendant already knows their true identities. See Aware Woman Center, 253 F.3d at 687 (no prejudice where plaintiff offered to disclose her name to defendant); EW, 213 F.R.D. at 112; , 105 F.Supp.2d at 44-45. + +# II. DEFENDANT SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO USE THE REAL NAMES OF JANE DOES 2-7 IN THIRD-PARTY SUBPEONAS EXCEPT FOR THOSE ISSUED TO PERSONS WHOM PLAINTIFFS HAVE ALREADY DISCLOSED THEIR SEXUAL ABUSE + +As for the use of Jane Does 2-7's real names in subpoenas issued to non-parties, a party may obtain discovery of any non-privileged matter that is relevant to a claim or defense of any party. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1). However, a district court may limit discovery "for good cause shown" by making "any order which justice requires to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense," including that the discovery not be had or that it be had only by a method other than that selected by the party seeking discovery. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c). Jane Does 2-7 have articulated a specific and substantial harm from disclosure of their identities. + +If this Court were to permit Defendant to issue third-party subpoenas containing Jane Doe 2-7's real names, the identity of the Defendant, and/or facts pertaining to the nature of the case to whomever Defendant wants, it would be akin to requiring these Plaintiffs to use their real name in the pleadings. Instead, Jane Does 2-7 propose to voluntarily execute authorizations (which would not contain the case names or the identity of the Defendant) to allow Defendant to obtain education, employment, and medical records to be used for purposes of this litigation only.3Alternatively, Defendant can obtain the records through a special who would verify authenticity and completeness of the records. Either of these approaches would not only place Jane Does 2-7 at less risk of psychological harm, but would also be more cost-effective and efficient. + +# CONCLUSION + +Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 respectfully request that Defendant's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Plaintiffs in the Style of this Case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third-Party Subpoenas for Purposes of Discovery, or Alternatively. Motion to Dismiss "Sua Sponte" be denied in its entirety, and that Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 be permitted to continue using their pseudonyms in this litigation. Additionally, to avoid public disclosure of the Plaintiffs identities in non-party records discovery, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 request that such + +3 Defendant and Plaintiff have previously agreed that education records can be obtained in this + +discovery be obtained either through Plaintiffs' counsel by means of written authorizations, or by the appointment of a special + +Dated: June 8, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

JOINDER IN PLAINTIFFS' JANE DOES 101 AND 102'S MOTION FOR NO-CONTACT ORDER + +Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 join in Plaintiffs Jane Does 101 and 102's Motion for No-Contact Order, filed May 22, 2009, and state as follows: + +- I. Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 incorporate and adopt the facts set forth in the pending Motion for No-Contact Order. Additionally, Plaintiffs offer additional facts in support of the Motion for a No-Contact Order, as set forth below. +- 2. Upon information and belief, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 were all identified on the victims list provided to Defendant Epstein's counsel in connection with the Non-prosecution Agreement, and each has been identified as victims to Defendant Epstein in their pending + +actions. In June 2008, Palm Beach Circuit Court Judge Pucillo ordered Defendant Epstein "not to have any contact, direct or indirect," with any of his victims. Judge Pucillo clarified that forbidden "indirect" contact included, but was not limited to, text messages, emails, telephone calls, or messages through third parties. As detailed herein, Jane Does 4 and 7 have been contacted on multiple occasions by at least one person representing that she is cooperating with and communicating on behalf of Defendant Epstein. In these contacts, the Plaintiffs/victims were threatened and harassed. + +3. As with other Plaintiffs, Jane Does 4 and 7 were first introduced to Defendant Epstein by Hayley , who was a high school friend. I + +4. had had contact with these Plaintiffs on several occasions in which she represented to Plaintiffs Jane Doe 4 and 7 that she is cooperating with Defendant Epstein's attorneys and that she is being financially supported by Defendant Epstein. Moreover, has told these Plaintiffs specifically that she is communicating on behalf of Defendant Epstein. + +5. During these contacts, made disparaging comments to the Plaintiffs and also sent disturbing text messages to Jane Doe No. 4. In one text, specifically stated, "I just met with my lawyer today and I'm finally done with the Epstein case. LOL. I knew you were suing Jeffrey all along and I've learned so much about you in the meantime. LOL." Jane Doe 4 understood this to mean that had exchanged private information about Jane Doe 4 with Defendant Epstein and his attorneys. Since February, 2009, Jane Doe 4 has continued to receive text messages from that are sometimes harassing and other times seek information about Jane Doe 4's private life, her lawsuit against Defendant Epstein, and/or her lawyer's strategy. + +was named in at least one civil case against Mr. Epstein as a co-defendant. See Jane Doe v. Epstein, case no. 50-2008-CA-0065996, Palm Beach County Circuit Court. ■ **brought multiple underage girls to Epstein in addition to Jane Does 4 and 7.** + +6. On one occasion, approached Jane Doe 7 and disclosed that she was cooperating with Defendant Epstein's defense, and that she (M) agreed that she would testify against Jane Doe 7 and the other plaintiffs to make sure that none of the Plaintiffs ever received any money from Defendant Epstein, making clear that her testimony would not be truthful to achieve this end. She also made disparaging comments to Jane Doe 7, accusing her of ruining Defendant Epstein's reputation. + +7. The very possibility of any contact with Epstein or his agents, including M, causes anxiety and distress particularly to Jane Doe 4 and 7, as well as the other Plaintiffs. A nocontact order should prevent further harassment of the Plaintiffs by Epstein and his agents, including, but not limited to, Hayley + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7, respectfully join Plaintiffs Jane Does 101 and 102 in moving this Court to enter an order granting Plaintiffs' Motion for a No Contact Order prohibiting the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, from any contact or communication with Plaintiffs, either directly or indirectly, except through Plaintiffs' attorneys of record for the duration of the Order. + +Dated: June 8, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: s/ Adam D.

As to all counts, Plaintiff actually consented to and was a willing participant in the acts alleged, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +2. As to all counts alleged, Plaintiff actually consented to and participated in conduct similar and/or identical to the acts alleged with other persons which were the sole or contributing cause of Plaintiffs alleged damages. + +3. As to all counts, Plaintiff impliedly consented to the acts alleged by not objecting and by going to Defendant's home with other females and/or by bringing other females to Defendant's home for which Plaintiff received money, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +4. As to all counts, Defendant reasonably believed or was told that the Plaintiff had attained the age of 18 years old at the time of the alleged acts. + +5. As to all counts, Plaintiffs claims are barred as she said she was 18 years or older at the time. + +6. As to all counts, Plaintiffs alleged damages were caused in whole or part by events and/or circumstances completely unrelated to the incident(s) alleged in the complaint. + +7. Plaintiff's claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. + +8. As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the limitations as set forth in §768.72, et seq., Florida Statutes. + +9. As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the constitutional limitations and guideposts as set forth in BMW of North America v. Gore, 116 S.Ct 1589 (1996); Philip Morris USA v. M, 127 S.Ct. 1057 (2007); State Farm v. 123 S.Ct 1513 (2003); v. Liqqet Group, Inc., 945 So.2d 1246 (Fla. 2006). The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Florida's Constitution, Art. I, §§2 and 9, prohibit the imposition of grossly excessive or arbitrary punishments + +10.As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," the determination of whether or not Defendant is liable for punitive damages is required to be bifurcated from a determination of the amount to be imposed. + +11. Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for sexual assault and/or battery under Count I. + +12.As to Count III, Plaintiff has failed to plead a cause of action as she does not and can not show a violation of a predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005). + +13.As to Count III, the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 in effect at the time of the alleged conduct applies, and, thus, the presumptive minimum damages amount should Plaintiff prove the elements of such claim is \$50,000, and not subject to any multiplier. + +14.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, would be in violation of the legal axiom against retroactive application of an amended statute, and also in violation of such constitutional principles, including but not limited to, the "Ex Post Facto" Clause, U.S. Const. Article I, §9, cl. 3, §10, cl. 1, and procedural and substantive due process, U.S. Const. 14th Amend., 5th Amend. The statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies. + +15.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, is prohibited pursuant to the vagueness doctrine and the Rule of Lenity. A criminal statute is required to give " 'fair warning ... in language that the common world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed. To make the warning fair, so far as possible the line should be clear.' " United States v. Lanier, 520 U.S. 259, 265, 117 S.Ct. 1219, 137 L.Ed.2d 432 (1997) (quoting McBovle v. United States 283 U.S. 25, 27, 51 S.Ct. 340, 75 L.Ed. 816 (1931)) (omission in original). The "three related manifestations of the fair warning requirement" are: (1) the vagueness doctrine bars enforcement of a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application; (2) the canon of strict construction of criminal statutes, or rule of lenity, ensures fair warning by so resolving ambiguity in a criminal statute as to apply it only to conduct clearly covered; (3) due process bars courts from + +applying a novel construction of a criminal statute to conduct that neither the statute nor any prior judicial decision has fairly disclosed to be within its scope. + +16. The applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 creates a cause of action on behalf of a "minor." Plaintiff had attained the age of majority at the time of filing this action, and accordingly, her cause of action is barred. + +17.Because Plaintiff has no claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255, this Court is without subject matter jurisdiction as to all claims asserted. + +18.Application of the 18 U.S.C. §2255, as amended, effective July 27, 2006, is in violation of the constitutional principles of due process, the "Ex Post Facto" clause, and the Rule of Lenity, in that in amending the term "minor" to "person" as to those who may bring a cause of action impermissibly and unconstitutionally broadened the scope of persons able to bring a §2255 claim. + +19. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14'h Amendment under the U.S. Constitution, and thus Plaintiff's claim thereunder is barred. + +20. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the constitutional guarantees of procedural and substantive due process. Procedural due process guarantees that a person will not be deprived of life, liberty or property without notice and opportunity to be heard. Substantive due process protects fundamental rights. Accordingly, Plaintiff's cause of action thereunder is barred. + +WHEREFORE Defendant requests that this Court deny the relief sought by Plaintiff. + +Robert D.

The court should freely give leave when justice so requires." Plaintiff's counsel has consented in writing to Defendant's proposed amendments set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Plaintiff's written consent to the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit B. + +2. It is well settled that leave to amend is liberally granted where, as here, there is no resulting prejudice. The liberal allowance of pleading amendments is a "recognition that controversies should be decided on the merits whenever practicable." See generally, 27A Fed.Proc., Lawyers Ed. §62.273. Generally; freely allowed (2008). "In the absence of any apparent or declared reason—such as undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, futility of amendment, etc.--the leave sought should, as the rules require, be 'freely given.'

Defendant's original Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint was recently filed with this Court on April 2, 2009. Recently certain constitutional issues have come to the forefront in other litigation filed against EPSTEIN based on similar allegations regarding the 18 U.S.C. §2255 claim and the punitive damages claim.

There will be no resulting prejudice to Plaintiff should leave to amend be granted. Defendant has not unduly delayed this matter in seeking the amendments. Defendant by written correspondence sought Plaintiff's permission to amend. As noted, Plaintiff agreed in writing to the amendments. See Exhibit B hereto. + +5. Accordingly, Defendant is entitled to the amendments sought. Upon this Court entering the order granting Defendant's motion to amend, he will file and serve the Amended Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint. Loc.

As to all counts, Plaintiff actually consented to and was awilling participant in the acts alleged, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +2. As to all counts alleged, Plaintiff actually consented to and participated in conduct similar and/or identical to the acts alleged with other persons which were the sole or contributing cause of Plaintiffs alleged damages. + +3. As to all counts, Plaintiff impliedly consented to the acts alleged by not objecting and by going to Defendant's home with other females and/or by bringing other females to Defendant's home for which Plaintiff received money, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +4. As to all counts, Defendant reasonably believed or was told that the Plaintiff had attained the age of 18 years old at the time of the alleged acts. + +5. As to all counts, Plaintiff's claims are barred as she said she was 18 years or older at the time. + +6. As to all counts, Plaintiffs alleged damages were caused in whole or part by events and/or circumstances completely unrelated to the incident(s) alleged in the complaint. + +7. Plaintiffs claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. + +8. As to Plaintiff's claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the limitations as set forth in §768.72, et seq., Florida Statutes. + +9. As to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," such claims are subject to the constitutional limitations and guideposts as set forth in BMW of North America v. Gore, 116S.Ct 1589 (1996). Philip Morris USA v. 127S.Ct. 1057 (2007); State Farm 123S.Ct 1513 (2003); v. Liqqet Group, Inc. 945 So.2d 1246 (Fla. 2006). The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Florida's Constitution, Art. I, §§2 and 9, prohibit the imposition of grossly excessive or arbitrary punishments + +10.As to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages in Count I — "Sexual Assault & Battery," and Count II — "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress," the determination of whether or not Defendant is liable for punitive damages is required to be bifurcated from adetermination of the amount to be imposed. + +11. Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for sexual assault and/or battery under Count I. + +12.As to Count III, Plaintiff has failed to plead acause of action as she does not and can not show a violation of a predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005). + +13.As to Count III, the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 in effect at the time of the alleged conduct applies, and, thus, the presumptive minimum damages amount should Plaintiff prove the elements of such claim is \$50,000, and not subject to any multiplier. + +14.As to Count III, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, would be in violation of the legal axiom against retroactive application of an amended statute, and also in violation of such constitutional principles, including but not limited to, the "Ex Post Facto" Clause, U.S. Const. Article I, §9, cl. 3, §10, cl. 1, and procedural and substantive due process, U.S. Const. 14th Amend., 5th Amend. The statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies. + +15.As to Count Ill, application of the amended version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective July 27, 2006, is prohibited pursuant to the vagueness doctrine and the Rule of Lenity. Acriminal statute is required to give " 'fair warning ... in language that the common world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed. To make the warning fair, so far as possible the line should be clear.' " United States v. Lanier, 520U.S. 259, 265, 117 S.Ct. 1219, 137 L.Ed.2d 432 (1997) (quoting McBovle v. United States 283 U.S. 25, 27, 51 S.Ct. 340, 75 L.Ed. 816 (1931)) (omission in original). The "three related manifestations of the fair warning requirement" are: (1) the vagueness doctrine bars enforcement of a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application; (2) the canon of strict construction of criminal statutes, or rule of lenity, ensures fair warning by so resolving ambiguity in a criminal statute as to apply it only to conduct clearly covered; (3) due process bars courts from + +applying anovel construction of a criminal statute to conduct that neither the statute nor any prior judicial decision has fairly disclosed to be within its scope. + +16.The applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 creates a cause of action on behalf of a"minor." Plaintiff had attained the age of majority at the time of filing this action, and accordingly, her cause of action is barred. + +17.Because Plaintiff has no claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255, this Court is without subject matter jurisdiction as to all claims asserted. + +18. Application of the 18 U.S.C. §2255, as amended, effective July 27, 2006, is in violation of the constitutional principles of due process, the "Ex Post Facto" clause, and the Rule of Lenity, in that in amending the term "minor" to "person" as to those who may bring acause of action impermissibly and unconstitutionally broadened the scope of persons able to bring a §2255 claim. + +19. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment under the U.S. Constitution, and thus Plaintiffs claim thereunder is barred. + +20. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the constitutional guarantees of procedural and substantive due process. Procedural due process guarantees that a person will not be deprived of life, liberty or property without notice and opportunity to be heard. Substantive due process protects fundamental rights. Accordingly, Plaintiffs cause of action thereunder is barred. + +WHEREFORE Defendant requests that this Court deny the olef s. ght by Plaintiff. + +Robert D.

Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. + +This Court should order Epstein to provide all of the requested information or, in the alternative, prove that his Fifth Amendment invocations are valid. It is for the court, not the claimant, to determine whether the hazard of incrimination is justified. United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991). "A court must make a particularized inquiry, deciding, in connection with each specific area that the + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRAi + +questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded." Id. Typically this is done in an in camera proceeding wherein the person asserting the privilege is given the opportunity "to substantiate his claims of the privilege and the district court is able to consider the questions asked and the documents requested by the summons." Id. + +Here Epstein has made boilerplate invocation of the Fifth Amendment to each and every request propounded by Jane Doe, including for example the request for correspondence with federal prosecutors and for production of federal tax returns. This obviously is not a request with Fifth Amendment implications, as the information has already been fully disclosed to the Government. + +For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to answer the requests or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to each request. + +Epstein's "cut and paste" response to the request for production also blatantly disregards the requirements for invoking privilege under the Court's local rules. Local rule 26.1.G very specifically requires the preparation of a privilege log with respect to all documents and oral communications (among other things) that are withheld on the basis of privilege. Epstein has failed to prepare such a log, making it impossible for Jane Doe to effectively challenge his generic assertions. Indeed, with respect to a few requests, Epstein has stated: "Further, the request may include information subject to work product or an attorney-client privilege." Of course, the whole purpose of forcing a defendant to prepare a privilege log is to force the defendant to decide whether or not + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRA + +information is privileged. An assertion that something "may" be privileged is obviously woefully deficient. The Local Rules do not permit this tactic, and Epstein should be (at a minimum) promptly required to produce a privilege log. + +For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to provide a privilege log and to answer the interrogatories or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to each request. + +It should be noted that (with minor exceptions) the only grounds on which Epstein can refuse to answer the request for production is proof of a valid Fifth Amendment privilege. This the only objection Epstein has asserted (with minor exceptions). As a result, any other objections to production are deemed waived. See Local Rule 26.1G.3.(a) ("Any ground [for an objection] not stated in an objection within the time provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any extensions thereof, shall be waived."). + +# SPECIFIC REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION + +For the convenience of the court — and in compliance with Local Rule 26.1 H (party filing motion to compel shall list specific requests in succession) — Jane Doe's requests for production and Epstein's objections are as follows: + +Request No. 1: Copies of all telephone records in your or your attorney's possession from 2002 through 2005 that in any way relate to you (including all phone lines owned by you or that were used to contact girls for the purposes of scheduling massages for you.) + +Defendant is asserting his U.S. constitutional privileges.

I intend to respond to all relevant discovery regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that I cannot provide answers to any discovery relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. + +This Court should order Epstein to answer all of the requests for admission or, in the alternative, prove that his Fifth Amendment invocations are valid. It is for the court, not the claimant, to determine whether the hazard of incrimination is justified. United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991). "A court must make a particularized inquiry, deciding, in connection with each specific area that the questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded." Id. Typically this is done in an in camera proceeding wherein the person asserting the privilege is given the opportunity "to substantiate his claims of the privilege and the + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRa + +district court is able to consider the questions asked and the documents requested by the summons." Id. + +Here Epstein has made boilerplate invocation of the Fifth Amendment to each and every question propounded by Jane Doe, including for example a request that he admit that his net worth is more than \$500 million. It is not apparent how admitting his net worth is incriminating in the circumstances of this case. In any event, the Fifth Amendment does not operate in this fashion. It is Epstein's obligation to explain his claims on a "question-by-question basis." Id. + +The only issue before the Court is Epstein's Fifth Amendment privilege. Epstein has only asserted a Fifth Amendment objection to production. As a result, any other objections to production are deemed waived. See Local Rule 26.1G.3.(a) ("Any ground [for an objection] not stated in an objection within the time provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any extensions thereof, shall be waived."). + +## SPECIFIC REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION + +For the convenience of the court — and in compliance with Local Rule 26.1 H (party filing motion to compel shall list specific requests in succession) — Jane Doe's requests for admission are as follows: + +- 1. Your net worth is greater than \$10 million. +- 2. Your net worth is greater than \$50 million. +- 3. Your net worth is greater than \$100 million. +- 4. Your net worth is greater than \$500 million. +- 5. Your net worth is greater than \$1 billion. + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRa + +6. Since being incarcerated you have, directly or indirectly (through the services or assistance of other persons), conveyed money or assets in an attempt to insulate or protect your money or assets from being captured in any civil lawsuits filed against you. + +7. You own or control, directly or indirectly, real estate property in the Caribbean. + +8. You own or control, directly or indirectly, real estate property in foreign countries. + +9. In the last 2 years you have transferred assets and/or money and/or financial instruments to countries outside the United States. + +10. You have provided financial support to the modeling agency MC2. + +11. You have committed sexual assault against Plaintiff, a minor. + +12. You committed battery against Plaintiff. + +13. You digitally penetrated Plaintiff when she was a minor. + +14. You offered Plaintiff more money contingent upon her having sex with your or giving you oral sex. + +15. You intended to harm Plaintiff when you committed these sexual acts against her. + +16. You knew Plaintiff was under the age of 16 when you sexually touched and fondled her. + +17. You intend to hire investigators to intimidate and harass Plaintiff during this litigation. + +18. You were engaged in the act of trafficking minors across state or country borders for the purposes of sex or prostitution between 2000 and the present. + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRA + +- 19. You coerced Plaintiff into being a prostitute and remaining in prostitution. +- 20. You are guilty of the following offenses against Jane Doe: +- A. Procuring a minor for the purpose of prostitution as defined in F.S. 796.03; +- B. Battery as defined by Florida Statutes. +- C. Sexual Battery. +- 21. You are moving significant financial assets overseas, outside of the direct territorial reach of the U.S. and Florida Courts. +- 22. You are making asset transfers with the intent to defeat any judgment that might be entered against you in this or similar cases. +- 23. You currently have the ability to post a bond of \$15 million to satisfy a judgment in this case without financial or other difficulty. + +## CONCLUSION + +For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to answer the requests for admission or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to each request. Counsel for Jane Doe have conferred with opposing counsel on the issues raised in this motion, and no resolution was possible. + +DATED July 10, 2009 Respectfully Submitted, + +s/ J.

MOTION TO COMPEL ANSWERS TO PLAINTFF'S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES + +Plaintiff Jane Doe, hereby moves this Court for an order compelling defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, to answer her first set of interrogatories or, in the alternative, to prove that his invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege is proper. + +Jane Doe has propounded 23 interrogatories, including such straightforward requests as: + +Interrogatory No. 2: Describe financial assets that are under your control, directly or indirectly, including interests in corporations or other business entities. + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRA + +Interrogatory No. 3: Describe which financial assets listed in your answer to interrogatory #2 are located outside the 50 states of the United States and where they are located. + +Interrogatory No. 4: Describe your net worth, including income and expenses for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. + +Interrogatory No. 5: Describe any real property in which you have a total or partial interest, either directly or indirectly. + +Interrogatory No. 7: Describe any transfer of assets under your control, either directly or indirectly, to locations outside the 50 United States in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. + +Interrogatory No. 8: Describe, with specificity, your travel to locations outside the 50 states of the United states in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, including your dates of travel, location to which you traveled and persons that accompanied you in each such travel. + +Interrogatory No. 11: Have you heard or do you know about any statement or remark (verbal or written) made by or on behalf of any party to this lawsuit, other than yourself, concerning any issue in this lawsuit? If so, state the name and address of each person who heard or read it, and the date, time, place and substance of each statement or remark. + +Interrogatory No. 12: Do you intend to elicit testimony of witnesses other than Plaintiff regarding any statements she has ever made? If so, what statements do you + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRA + +intend to produce through testimony? Through which witness do you intend to elicit such statement? And for what purpose do you intend to admit such statement? + +Interrogatory No. 23: State the facts upon which you rely for each affirmative defense in your answer. + +In response to these interrogatories, Epstein has given the following response (with only slight variations on the overbreadth objection): + +Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the interrogatories as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to respond to all relevant questions regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have counseled me that I cannot provide answers to any questions relevant to this lawsuit and I must accept this advice or risk losing my Sixth Amendment right to effective representation. Accordingly, I assert my federal constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments as guaranteed by United States Constitution. Drawing an adverse inference under these circumstances would unconstitutionally burden my exercise of my constitutional rights, would be unreasonable, and would therefore violate the Constitution. In addition to and without waiving his constitutional privileges, Defendant objects as the interrogatory is so overbroad and, thus, seeks information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor does it appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +This Court should order Epstein to answer all of these interrogatories or, in the alternative, prove that his Fifth Amendment invocations are valid. It is for the court, not the claimant, to determine whether the hazard of incrimination is justified. United States v. Argomaniz, 925 F.2d 1349, 1355 (11th Cir. 1991). "A court must make a particularized inquiry, deciding, in connection with each specific area that the questioning party wishes to explore, whether or not the privilege is well-founded." Id. Typically this is done in an in camera proceeding wherein the person asserting the privilege is given the opportunity "to substantiate his claims of the privilege and the + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRA + +district court is able to consider the questions asked and the documents requested by the summons." Id. + +Here Epstein has made boilerplate invocation of the Fifth Amendment to each and every question propounded by Jane Doe, including for example the question: Do you intend to elicit testimony of witnesses other than Plaintiff regarding any statements she has ever made? This obviously is not an interrogatory with Fifth Amendment implications. Nor is Epstein's claim that this interrogatory is somehow "overbroad" or "not calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence" even facially plausible. + +Epstein's "cut and paste" response to the interrogatories also blatantly disregards the requirements for invoking privilege under the Court's local rules. Local rule 26.1.G very specifically requires the preparation of a privilege log with respect to all documents and oral communications (among other things) that are withheld on the basis of privilege. Epstein has failed to prepare such a log, making it impossible for Jane Doe to effectively challenge his generic assertions. The Local Rules do not permit this tactic, and Epstein should be (at a minimum) promptly required to produce a privilege log. + +For all these reasons, the Court should compel Epstein to answer the interrogatories or provide a particularized justification for his Fifth Amendment invocation with regard to each request. + +It should be noted that the only two grounds on which Epstein can refuse to answer the interrogatories are either proof of a valid Fifth Amendment privilege or proof + +CASE NO: 08-CV-80119-MARRIa + +of a valid overbreadth objection. These are the only two objections Epstein has asserted. As a result, any other objections to production are deemed waived. See Local Rule 26.1G.3.(a) ("Any ground [for an objection] not stated in an objection within the time provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any extensions thereof, shall be waived."). + +## SPECIFIC INTERROGATORIES + +For the convenience of the court — and in compliance with Local Rule 26.1 H (party filing motion to compel shall list specific requests in succession) — Jane Doe's interrogatories are as follows: + +- 1. What is the full name and Florida address of the person answering these interrogatories, and, if applicable, the person's official position or relationship with the party to whom the interrogatories are directed? + +[Note: This is the only interrogatory Epstein answered in any way.] + +- 2.

The parties having agreed and the Court having carefully considered the motion and being otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs' Motion (DE # 114) is GRANTED as follows: + +A.1 Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and such employees and agents (currently under his control) and his attorneys are directed to take every reasonable step to preserve any evidence, resulting from the October 25, 2005 search of his home as set forth in this Court's order (DE #151-2; DE #20 in Case 9:08 -CV-80804-KAM) previously entered. + +A.2 Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and such employees and agents (currently under his control) and his attorneys are directed to take every reasonable step to preserve any evidence relevant to these cases that have been filed in federal court or that may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence relevant to these cases which includes, documents, data, and tangible things, including, writings; records; files; correspondence; digital or chemical process photographs (including negatives); reports; memoranda; calendars; diaries; minutes; electronic messages; voicemail; email; telephone message records or logs; computer and network activity logs; hard drives; backup data; removable computer storage media, such as tapes, disks, and cards; printouts; document image files; web pages; databases; spreadsheets; software; books; ledgers; journals; orders; invoices; bills; vouchers; checks; statements; worksheets; summaries; compilations; computations; charts; diagrams; graphic presentations; drawings; films; charts; video, phonographic, tape, or digital recordings or transcripts thereof; drafts; jottings; and notes. Information that serves to identify, locate, or link such material, such as file inventories, file folders, and indices, is also included. Specifically, Defendant must preserve the following evidence as defined herein: records of phone communications; records of domestic and international travel, including travel in Defendant's private airplanes; former and current employee records; tax returns; any document evidencing payment by Defendant of U.S. currency and/or merchandise to each person on the list provided by the United States Attorney's Office ("USAO list"); any evidence stored in Defendant's storage unit; all photographs of the interior and exterior of Defendant's Palm Beach residence as it appeared in 1998 through October 2005; any diary, log, memo pad, calendar, or other writing which reflected the date that each person on the USAO list visited Defendant's residence; any diary or document wherein each person on the USAO list wrote regarding any visit(s) to Defendant's residence; all documents sent by the Palm Beach Police Department ("PBPD"), the FBI, the USAO, or the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office ("PBSAO") to the defendant; and all computers used by Defendant and/or such agents and employees (currently under his control) to the extent the computers have evidence relating to these cases. The time period for the preservation of evidence shall be 1998 - 2002 as it relates to Jane Doe 102; and 2002 through October 25, 2005 as it relates to other persons on the USAO list. + +B. "Evidence" is defined as any document or information that is in the possession, custody or control of the defendant as of the date of this order and that is relevant to these cases or that may lead to the discovery of evidence relevant to these cases. The duty to preserve evidence extends to documents, data, and tangible things in the possession, custody, and/or control of Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, and such employees or agents (currently under his control) or attorneys who possess materials reasonably anticipated to be subject to discovery in these actions. Counsel for the Defendant shall be directly responsible only to the extent they are in possession or control of evidence. Counsel shall provide a copy of this Order to the Defendant and to those employees or agents whom defense counsel knows or has reason to believe may have evidence. + +C.

If an objection or privilege is raised, the parties may raise the issue with this Court in a timely fashion and shall preserve the evidence in question pending resolution by the Court. An agreement to preserve evidence and this Order is not a waiver of any existing or future right to object to production or any constitutional or evidentiary basis. + +E. The parties, without leave of Court, may agree in writing that certain documents or categories of evidence need not be preserved as otherwise required by this Order. If such agreement is reached, such agreement is effective upon signing and without further order of this Court. + +F. If this Court determines that evidence has been wrongfully destroyed or lost in violation of this Order, it may impose appropriate sanctions based upon motion and an evidentiary hearing, if necessary. + +G. Each party shall bear its own costs for complying with this Order. + +DONE AND ORDERED inill at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, this of , 2009. + +> KENNETH A.

Life Care Plans & Testimony + +## DECLARATION OF GILBERT KLIMAN, M. D. + +June 4, 2009 + +## RE: EXPECTATION OF HARM FROM DISCLOSING THE PLAINTIFFS' IDENTITIES IN DOES V JEFFREY EPSTEIN + +- 1. I, Gilbert W. Kliman, M.D., of 2105 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, California, CA. Physicians License G55912, declare the following under penalty of perjury: +- 2. I have been retained by plaintiffs' law firm, Mermelstein & Horowitz, to give expert testimony. If called as a witness, I would testify truthfully and competently concerning my psychiatric findings about each of the plaintiffs' alleged experiences of sexual abuse, and the enduring effects that I find each of the young women have suffered as a direct result of the sexual acts perpetrated by the defendant. +- 3. I have been asked to respond to the Defense motion, which requests that some of the plaintiffs, who are now adults, should be publicly named. It is my opinion that involuntary public disclosure will result in the plaintiffs experiencing revictimization, albeit by a justice system that is designed to protect them. If their identities are released, the victims will be at-risk of having their personal lives scrutinized by friends, extended family, spouses, children, fellow students, employers and fellow employees, the media and general public. This type of exposure humiliates many victims and represents another betrayal of trust. Public exposure places the plaintiffs at further risk of stigmatization, shame and retraumatization. +- 4. Due to traumatization the plaintiffs are arrested in their development, and even those who are now legally adults are arrested in part to adolescent aspects of psychology. +- 5. The plaintiffs do not hold their heads high with pride for having been sexually controlled by Mr. Epstein. They hold their heads low with shame. The internal life of a typical adolescent, into late adolescence and early adult years in the best of circumstances, usually involves generous proportions of self-consciousness, shame, selfabsorption and self-doubt and self-blame about sexual acts. + +![](_page_0_Picture_12.jpeg) + +6. Clinically harmful levels of shame, self-consciousness, self-doubt and self-blame are even more prominent among victims of molestations than among the general population. + +7. Molested teenagers are particularly vulnerable to wrongful manipulations and special clinical harms from the experiences of shame and humiliation. In fact, shame and efforts to cope with it played an underlying role in the harm to each plaintiff. Each was lured into Mr. Epstein's sexual lair with the promise of overcoming bodily and sexual shame by earning money and bettering their lot in life. The defendant capitalized on their sexual naiveté, insecurities and effort to better themselves, and he worked hard to overcome their shame at his enlistment of them in his selfish gratifications. + +8. The defendant who wishes to make their identities public is one whom the criminal justice system has already determined is a person who has already committed a crime of child molestation. That surely means he has already exploited and manipulated the girls' state of adolescent sexuality, including their embarrassment, awkwardness and bodily self-consciousness. He perverted their nascent and developing moral structures by posing as a generous, avuncular mentor who could coach them about their bodies, sex and love. + +The exploitation of adolescent bodies, sex and love is – from a psychoanalytic point of view – an influence on the developing moral conscience of the children, as well as on their sexual urges. Now the ravaging of their internal and private moral conscience is intended by the perpetrator to be made a public ravaging. + +9. Among sexual trauma victims, the insidious and destructive persistence of shame, humiliation and associated self-blame is well-documented (Finkelhor and [REDACTED], 1985). Stigmatization, as experienced by a sexual trauma victim, has especially painful and pathologic consequences. Shame lingers and becomes integrated within the adolescent victim's malleable emerging identity, character structure and self image. Moral clarity is distorted. Perceptions of self-blame and guilt are magnified. The impact of shame lends to cultivating a self image of being "spoiled goods." + +10. Stigmatization following sexual trauma results in long-term risks that can negatively shape multiple facets of adult development: sexual, emotional, interpersonal and vocational. Stigmatization, which is generally to be avoided among psychiatric patients, increases risks among those – as in our plaintiffs as a group – who experience clinical depression and self-destructive behaviors: drug use, criminal activity, even prostitution. + +Stigmatization following abuse is associated with delinquency due to increased anger and affiliation with deviant peers (Feiring et al., 2007). + +11. Shame and guilt are important dimensions of both complex and single event, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of shame are associated with feelings of helplessness and powerlessness, which each of the plaintiffs endorsed experiencing in relation to Mr. Epstein. + +12. The DSM-IV-TR recognizes both powerlessness and helplessness as requisite parts of the traumatic experience in Criterion A for the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma ( Seligman, recent Past President of the American Psychological Association, coined relevant terms of "learned helplessness and "Loss of Personal Locus of Control." See Seligman, M.P. 1975: Helplessness, Depression, Development and Death. W. H. Freeman, San Francisco). The teenaged girls suffered the loss of personal locus of control to a much more experienced, sexually aggressive, powerful and dominant, manipulative perpetrator. + +13. Releasing names of the plaintiffs to the public will reenact experiences of powerlessness and helplessness in the face of a boundary violation. Repetition and reenactment represent central features of Criterion B in the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder trauma. In effect, release of their identity and public intrusion into their personal life represents a reenactment of the shame of sexual traumatization. Repetition and reenactment are central pathologies that afflict sexual trauma survivors. + +14. Victims of sexual abuse often rely upon some form of dissociation, splitting or denial, as a defensive means to manage overwhelming affects associated with the sexual trauma. Each of the plaintiff girls has employed some variation of this defense, both during the massages and then subsequently following disclosure of the abuse. Primitive, maladaptive responses of this nature will become additionally reinforced as a result of public disclosure. + +15. Another aspect of the plaintiffs' experience, which is recognized by DSM-IV-TR, is that the trauma was associated with human design factors (such as cruel intention to do harm, rape, torture). Trauma of this origin has a tendency to produce more "severe or long lasting" posttraumatic stress disorder than natural events (DSM IV TR p. 464). A policy of deliberate revelation of the names of the victims would reinforce the sense of design, pattern and policy of human intentions. + +16. Negative expectations about significant activities are noted in DSM-IV-TR, as part of Criterion C. Symptoms of foreshortened future are characteristic of a traumatized individual's clinical course (C4). They expect revictimization. They expect bad outcomes (C7) in their social, educational, vocational, relational plans. They are hypervigilant (Criterion D4) for further trauma, and this affects lifestyle choices and future planning. Hypervigilance is part of the arousal set of criteria. Public disclosure of the victims' identity will aggravate existing symptoms of hypervigilance. + +17. The DSM-IV-TR diagnostic category of "chronic" is justified for each of the plaintiffs. Scientific literature shows that the prognostic consequences of PTSD and residual effects may last for decades (U.S. Dept. of Health, 2005; Issues in Child Abuse Prevention Number 9 Autumn] 998: Long-term Effects of Child Sexual Abuse, Paul E Mullen and Jillian Fleming). The lasting impact upon character, identity and moral development will probably affect long-term influences upon adult development. It is more probable than not that stigmatization associated with public disclosure of the + +plaintiffs' identities will intensify the scope, nature and severity of the chronic symptom course. + +18. In addition to PTSD, shame and humiliation themselves have also been associated with causing clinical depression. Coexisting PTSD and clinical depression places the plaintiff's at increased risk for re-victimization and high risk sexual behaviors (e.g., sexually transmitted disease, premature pregnancy, rape) (Nelson, 2002), and at greater risk to victimize others (Filipas and Ullman, 2006; Desai, Centers for Disease Control, 2002) who are in their control. Studies have also shown that chronic symptoms of PTSD, in association with a single episode of Major Depressive Disorder, can produce lifetime adjustment difficulties, which include suicidality (Oquendo et al, 2005; Dube et al, CDC, 2001; Rohde, J. Am. Acad. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2005). The plaintiffs will be additionally vulnerable to these clinical outcomes, if they suffer the stigmatization and humiliation associated with public disclosure of their identities. + +19. Alternative hypothesis: I have applied the evidence shown from examination and testing of the plaintiffs and relevant observations and information from other professionals while testing an alternative hypothesis: that no harm would result from public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities. During the evaluations with the six plaintiffs, I used generally acceptable criteria for establishing whether a DSM-IV-TR disorder occurred. I established that there were provable and diagnosable injuries, primarily posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid depression. Based upon these diagnostic signs, it is more probable than not, that exposing the plaintiff's identity to the public is not a trivial concern or one without substantial clinical repercussions. I believe that most child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists would share the opinion that additional psychiatric injury will result from such exposure. + +20. However, consider for the sake of argument, that my diagnostic conclusions are incorrect, notwithstanding having fulfilled standard psychiatric evaluation procedures of taking a history from multiple sources, videotaping and transcribing my initial interview, and reviewing available medical and legal documents. Even if this was the case, and my diagnostic conclusions were faulty, I believe that multiple experts, even those who may now propose publication of the victims' names, would still come to a conclusion that the plaintiffs suffered sexual abuse, and in some cases, multiple acts of ongoing abuse, at the hands of Jeffery Epstein. Even without developing a subsequent disorder, there is much clinical evidence and scientific literature showing likelihood of substantial psychiatric harm to these sexually abused plaintiffs. + +21. To form these conclusions, I have used my extensive experience in forming these opinions. That experience is both as a treating child psychiatrist and separately as a forensic psychiatrist. I have treated hundreds of minor patients, as well as additionally evaluated hundreds of children and adolescents who have suffered sexual abuse. I have made long term followups of many of the children and have treated many adults who have been molested as adolescents. It is my opinion, with a reasonably high degree of medical certainty that the defense motion to allow public disclosure of the plaintiffs' identities is clinically and ethically a wrongful plan. The act of revealing their identities against their wishes places the plaintiffs at risk, in the best of circumstances, of suffering + +an aggravation of existing diagnostic concerns. It is more probable than not that releasing personal identities will [REDACTED] an exacerbation and magnification of symptoms lending to increased risk of revictimization and retraumatization. + +I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing statements are true and correct, and that this declaration was executed at San Francisco, California on June 4, 2009. + +Sincerely, + +![]()Gilbert Kliman, M.D. + +Distinguished Life Fellow, American Psychiatric Association +Senior Fellow, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry +[REDACTED] Brockman Award Holder, for Distinguished Lifetime Contributions to Psychoanalysis and Psychiatry, bestowed by the American College of Psychoanalysis and Psychiatry + +![](_page_4_Picture_22.jpeg) + +State of California, City & County of San Francisco +Subscribed and sworn to (or affirmed) before me on this +21 day of June 2009, by Gilbert Kliman +proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence +to be the person[e] who appeared before me. + +![]() \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740172/EFTA02740172.metadata.json b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740172/EFTA02740172.metadata.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d0aaf29195e6ad0f3ed12decf0bff003fc66c83f --- /dev/null +++ b/marker2/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740172/EFTA02740172.metadata.json @@ -0,0 +1,271 @@ +{ + "source_pdf": "/home/robbd/my/apps/epstein-index/data/raw/court-doe-3-v-epstein/EFTA02740172.pdf", + "engine": { + "marker_major": "2", + "marker_version": "2.0.0", + "mode": "balanced", + "use_llm": false, + "force_ocr": false, + "disable_ocr": false, + "output_format": "markdown", + "preserve_source": false + }, + "fingerprint": "d889ea60d5548ac4", + "pages": 5, + "chars": 13405, + "elapsed_seconds": 10.57, + "image_assets": [ + "_page_0_Picture_12.jpeg", + "_page_4_Picture_22.jpeg" + ], + "marker_metadata": { + "table_of_contents": [ + { + "title": "The Psychological Trauma Center", + "heading_level": null, + "page_id": 0, + "polygon": [ + [ + 221.293, + 94.076 + ], + [ + 395.3962097167969, + 94.076 + ], + [ + 395.3962097167969, + 108.853515625 + ], + [ + 221.293, + 108.853515625 + ] + ] + }, + { + "title": "DECLARATION OF GILBERT KLIMAN, M.

Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7 are proceeding with a Jane Doe pseudonym as this case involves facts of the utmost intimacy and there is a genuine risk of psychological harm if their identities are disclosed. See Exhibit "A" (Declaration of Gilbert Kliman, M.D.) (See also DE 144, Jane Does' 2-7 Response to Defendant's Motion to Compel Identity. et al.). + +2. Despite the obvious need for Plaintiffs to have their identities protected, Defendant Jeffrey Epstein has employed investigators who have made repeated contacts with exboyfriends, former employers, and others who know nothing of the underlying facts of the case. These investigators have contacted such nonparties asking them for extensive personal information about a Plaintiff, such as names and contact information of former boyfriends and other friends and acquaintances in the Plaintiff's community. + +3. The Defendant's repeated contacts with these nonparties is harassing and designed to intimidate the Plaintiffs. The purpose and intent of these contacts is to brand the Plaintiffs as alleged sexual abuse victims to their families, friends and communities. + +4. A Motion is pending in which this Court is being asked to determine whether and how Defendant may obtain discovery from nonparties. (DE 91, 144). Defendant's investigative efforts improperly circumvent the issues in the pending Motion, and only serve to highlight the need for this Court to implement appropriate protective measures to prevent Defendant from harassing, intimidating, and intruding unnecessarily into the personal lives of the Plaintiffs. + +5. While it is not unusual for a defendant to use appropriate means to obtain records from former employers and others referenced in a plaintiff's discovery responses, it is not customary for a defendant to retain private investigators to make personal contact with these individuals. Indeed, this practice is particularly inappropriate in a sexual abuse case where these nonparties are unaware of the underlying abuse. Plaintiffs have a well-grounded fear that the investigators will use the opportunity of their contacts with these nonparties to "out" the Plaintiffs' as alleged childhood sexual abuse victims of Jeffrey Epstein. (See Kliman Decl., Exh. "A" hereto). + +6. As an example of the investigators' intimidation tactics, three of Defendant's investigators recently called the former employer of Jane Doe 4 on repeated occasions over a two-day period, asking personal questions about her, including the name and telephone number of her ex-boyfriend. See Exhibit "B", Declaration of Jane Doe 4. + +7. Similarly, one of Defendant's investigators contacted the former employer of Jane Doe 6. See Exhibit "C", Declaration of Jane Doe 6. + +8. There is no basis for Defendant or his multiple investigators to make repeated personal contacts with former employers and ex-boyfriends to ask personal questions about a Plaintiff. It is apparent that these contacts are not designed to obtain relevant information, but rather are intended to intimidate the Plaintiffs and to reveal that they are childhood sexual abuse victims. + +9. Accordingly, Plaintiffs request the entry of a protective order that would prevent Defendant, his attorneys and investigators from making ex pane contacts concerning this litigation with nonparties who have no knowledge that a Plaintiff was a childhood sexual abuse victim of Jeffrey Epstein. + +10. This Court has discretion to enter a protective order designed to protect a party from, among other things, annoyance or embarrassment. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c). As set forth above, given the investigators' conduct, a protective order is appropriate to prevent unnecessary intrusion into the Plaintiffs' personal lives and divulgation of Plaintiffs in their communities as childhood sexual abuse victims. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Does 2-7, respectfully request that this Court grant Plaintiffs' Motion for Protective Order, as follows: (i) order Defendant, his attorneys and investigators to cease making ex pane contacts with nonparties identified in plaintiffs' discovery + +responses, such as, for example, former employers; (ii) order Defendant, his attorneys and investigators to cease making ex pane contacts with nonparties found during the course of discovery or investigation who know the Plaintiff or live in her community, such as, for example, current and former boyfriends and family friends of the Plaintiffs; (iii) order Defendant, his attorneys and investigators to cease making ex pane contacts with nonparties who otherwise know one of the Plaintiffs personally but who are unaware that she is an alleged victim of childhood sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein; and (iv) grant all such other relief this Court deems just and appropriate. + +# CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL RULE 7.1.A.3 + +Undersigned counsel has conferred with Defendant's counsel in a good faith effort to resolve the issues raised in this motion, and has been unable to do so, as Defendant's counsel has advised that Defendant opposes this motion. + +Dated: July 29, 2009 Respectfully submitted, + +By: sI Adam D.

OF LAW + +Third Party Witness, Igor Zinoview's, ("Mr. Zinoview") by and through his undersigned attorney, moves this Court pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) for a protective order regarding his deposition and as grounds therefore would state: + +1. As reflected on the affidavit of Igor Zinoview, attached as Exhibit A, he works for Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Mr. Epstein') as a driver and bodyguard. He did not know Mr. Epstein before November of 2005. He first became employed by Mr. Epstein in November of 2005. + +2. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview would testify as set forth on his affidavit, that at no time has he discussed with Mr. Epstein any issues involving Mr. Epstein's criminal case nor any of the cases or issues involved with civil plaintiffs. + +3. In many of the depositions, counsel for L.M. and E.W., has asked them as witnesses to assume certain facts about which they have no knowledge, and he then asks their opinions about certain facts. See Exhibit B -Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions. + +4. There is no information which Mr. Zinoview has relating to the facts and circumstances surrounding any of the pending civil cases, in that none of their allegations directed to Mr. Epstein extend beyond September of 2005. Therefore whatever information Mr. Zinoview may have, postdates that time. + +5. Regarding the scope of discovery, Judge Linnea noted in her October 28, 2009 Omnibus Order (DE #377), "[w]hile the scope of discovery is broad, it is not without limits. Washinaton v. & Williamson Tobacco 959 F.2d 1566, 1570 (11th Cir. 1992). ... Courts have long held that `[w]hile the standard of relevancy [in discovery] is a liberal one, it is not so liberal as to allow a party to roam in the shadow zones of relevancy and to explore matter (sic) which does not presently appear germane on the theory that it might conceivably become so.' Food Lion Inc. v. United Food & Commercial Workers Intern. Union, 103 F.3d 1007, 1012-13 (CA. D.C. 1997) (string cite omitted)." + +6. Rule 26(c), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, provides that, "[a] party or any person from whomn discovery is sought may move for a protective order in the court where the action is pending.... The court may, for good cause, issue an order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense, including one or more of the following: (A) forbidding the disclosure or discovery;" + +7. As set forth in his affidavit, Mr. Zinoview cannot possibly have any knowledge or information that is presently germane to this action. Accordingly, the Court should enter a protective order prohibiting his deposition. + +WHEREFORE, third-party witness moves this court for a protective order pursuant to Rule 26(c), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that his deposition not take place or the questioning be limited. + +> By: JACK ALAN GOLDBERGER ESQ.

At numerous depositions, Plaintiffs counsel has repeatedly asked argumentative and harassing questions that are irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +2. In particular, Plaintiffs counsel has asked questions that improperly sought to illicit lay opinions from fact witnesses, asked questions regarding witnesses' feelings towards Mr. Epstein and their beliefs regarding media reports of this case, asked whether they would leave their children with Mr. Epstein and asked whether they would go back to work for Mr. Epstein assuming the media reports were accurate, among other things. These questions and the responses thereto will never be admissible. They are argumentative, irrelevant and seek speculative answers and inadmissible lay opinions. + +EXHIBIT 8 + +Imo/ v. Epstein + +Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB + +Epsteln's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions + +Page 2 of 9 + +3. For example, in the deposition of Larry Visoski, one of Mr. Epstein's pilots, Plaintiffs counsel asked the following questions seeking to obtain Mr. Visoski's beliefs and opinions on Plaintiffs allegations: + +> Q. All right. When you read in the newspapers the allegations that Mr. Epstein was involved with numerous underage girls for sexual reasons, were you surprised? + +A. I didn't believe it. + +Q. Do you believe it today? + +A. I don't believe it. + +Q. You don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was involved with underage girls in a sexual way? + +MR. CRITTON: Form. + +THE WITNESS: You're asking for my opinion, and I don't think my opinion is relevant in that matter. + +BY MR. + +Q. I think it's relevant. Can you just tell me whether today you believe that Jeffrey Epstein has engaged in sex with underage girls? + +MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation, irrelevant, always. + +THE WITNESS: It's irrelevant. + +BY MR. + +Q. I need an answer. + +A. I don't believe he had sex with underage women. + +Q. Or engaged in any sexual acts with underage women? + +MR. CRITTON: Form. + +1,,M v. Epstein Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 3 of 9 + +THE WITNESS: No. + +BY MR. + +Q. You think that this is just a story that a bunch of underage women have made up? + +A. Speculation. + +• \* \* \* + +Q. Then we'll handle the question this way: If you were to believe based on information and evidence that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some form of sex acts with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14, 15 years old, would you continue your employment with Mr. Epstein? + +MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. + +THE WITNESS: I would certainly be speculating and I have to discuss it with my wife long and hard. I don't think I could give you a correct and honest answer at this time. + +See Excerpts of Deposition of Larry Visokski at 66-67; 181-82 (attached as composite Exhibit A). Other examples of similar improper questions are included in Exhibit A. + +4. Not only do these questions seek improper lay opinions, Plaintiffs counsel asked Mr. Visoski his belief as to the truth of hearsay newspaper articles. The foregoing questions are obviously irrelevant, argumentative and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +5. Moreover, whether Mr. Visoski would continue working for Mr. Epstein if Plaintiff's allegations are true has absolutely no relevance to any claim or defense in this case. The questions are simply improper and meant to harass and embarrass the IN v. Epstein Case No. 50200BCA028051XXXXMBAB Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 4 of 9 + +witness. + +6. Mr. Visoski was questioned for over four hours and much of the time was wasted on irrelevant and harassing questions. + +7. Plaintiffs counsel asked similar questions at the deposition of Larry Eugene ME, another one of Mr. Epstein's pilots: + +> Q. Certainly you've read certain newspaper articles about the allegations, police reports, otherwise, the allegations that occurred or have been alleged to have occurred at his Palm Beach mansion, correct? + +A. Uh-huh. + +Q. Correct? + +A. Correct. + +Q. Given the nature of those allegations, would you leave your daughter of 17, 16, 15 years old with Mr. Epstein alone? + +MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike. + +A. Yes. + +• \* • • + +Q. And despite pleading guilty to procuring underage girls for the purposes of sex, you still feel comfortable leaving a 13, 14, 15-year-old girl around him? + +MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike. + +A. Yes. I mean, with my daughter, yes. I don't know how he behaves around anybody else. I just know that the respect that he showed me, I feel safe with my daughter. + +Q. And have you read in detail the reports as to what happened at his house with the girls? + +ue v. Epstein + +Case No. 502008CA028051XWMBAB + +Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions + +Page 5 of 9 + +A. Only — + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +A. — what's been in the newspapers and published. + +Q. If you read and hear testimony given - well, I can tell you now - testimony has been given in this case that what happens is: A 13 or 14 year old is led upstairs by herself, told to get naked, he lays down on his back, there is a brief massage before he turns over, exposes himself erect, masturbates while he tells this 13 or 14 year old to pinch his nipples as hard as she can while he inserts his fingers into their vagina and ejaculates all over them before saying, "Take your money and leave." + +MR. PIKE: Form. Move to strike. + +BY MR. + +Q. Okay? Then, "You can continue to come back for \$200 every time or every girl you bring me within your age group and I get to do this again, I pay you \$200 per person." If that is the testimony -- + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +Q. — that what happens behind closed doors with him, do you still feel comfortable leaving a13 or 14 year old in a room with Jeffrey Epstein? + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +A. If that, in fact, is what actually happened, no. + +Q. [Would you] go back - considering what you've read and what you may or may not believe - would you go back to working for Jeffrey Epstein? + +MR. PIKE: Form. + +A. I can't say. I still work for him on a maintenance - to + +La v. Epstein + +Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB + +Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions + +Page 6 of 9 + +maintain the airplanes and stuff like that, so. + +See Excerpts of Deposition of Larry Eugene at 135-36; 175-76; 184 (attached as composite Exhibit B). + +8. Again, whether Mr. would work for Mr. Epstein "considering what [he has] read and what [he] may or may not believe" (i.e. considering hearsay media accounts and inadmissible lay opinion) has no bearing on the instant case. + +9. In addition, questions regarding whether Mr. would leave his children alone with Mr. Epstein could have only been meant to harass and embarrass Mr. NM Nevertheless, Mr. testified that he would leave his children with Mr. Epstein. As Plaintiffs counsel was obviously not happy with the answer to this question, he proceeded to press Mr. with inflammatory statements until he got the answer he wanted. + +10. Plaintiff's counsel has also asked the same improper line of questions in other witnesses' depositions. + +11. The above-cited questions exceed the bounds of permissible discovery; they have absolutely no relevance to this case. Accordingly, the Court should enter a protective order prohibiting such questions and should sanction Plaintiff's counsel if such inappropriate questions are asked at future depositions. + +12. Regarding the scope of discovery, Judge Linnea noted in her October 28, 2009 Omnibus Order,' "[w]hile the scope of discovery is broad, it is not + +1 The Omnibus Order (DE #377) was entered in the federal companion case Jane Doe No. 2 v, Epstein Case No. 08-CIV-80119 MARRia In the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. + +LM v. Epstein Case No. 502008CAD28051X=MBAB Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 7 of 9 + +without limits. Washington v. a& Williamson Tobacco 959F.2d 1566, 1570 (11th Cir. 1992). ... Courts have long held that '[w]hile the standard of relevancy [in discovery] is a liberal one, it is not so liberal as to allow a party to roam in the shadow zones of relevancy and to explore matter (sic) which does not presently appear germane on the theory that it might conceivably become so.' Food Lion. Inc. V. United Food & Commercial Workers Intern. Union, 103F.3d 1007, 1012-13 (C.A. D.C. 1997) (string cite omitted)." See also Capco Properties, LLC v. Monterry Gardens of Pinecrest Condo. 982So. 2d 1211, (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (holding that discovery in civil cases must be relevant to the subject matter of the case and must be admissible or reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence) Morton Plant Hospital Ass'n, Inc. v. Shahbas, 960So. 2d 820, 824 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007) (holding that "discovery should be denied when it has been established that the information requested is neither relevant to any pending claim or defense nor will it lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," citing Tanchel v. Shoemaker, 928So. 2d 440, 442 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006)). + +13. As illustrated above, the questions are simply not germane to any pending claim or defense nor will they lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Whether Mr. Visoski believes or disbelieves the media accounts of this case, or whether Mr. would leave his children with Mr. Epstein is not relevant and cannot conceivably lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. + +14. The Court should curtail these inappropriate lines of questions and enter a protective order prohibiting them. + +15. Rule 1.280(c), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, provides the Court with + +LM v. Epstein + +Case No. 5020D8CA028051XX)0MBAB + +Epsteln's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions + +Page 8 of 9 + +the power to "make any order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or undue burden or expense that justice requires including ... (4) that certain matter not be inquired into, or that the scope of the discovery be limited to certain matters." + +16. Accordingly, Epstein requests the Court enter a protective order prohibiting Plaintiffs counsel from asking witnesses' questions regarding opinions and beliefs regarding media articles and the allegations in this case and whether they would leave their children with Epstein or questions of a similar nature, and limiting the scope to the witnesses personal knowledge regarding matters relevant to the claims and defenses in this case. See Shahbas, 960 So. 2d at 824. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, respectfully requests the Court enter a protective order prohibiting Plaintiffs counsel from asking witnesses' questions regarding opinions and beliefs regarding media articles and the allegations in this case and whether they would leave their children with Epstein or questions of a similar nature, and limiting the scope to the witnesses personal knowledge regarding matters relevant to the claims and defenses in this case and grant any additional relief the Court deems just and proper. + +#### Certificate of Service + +IHEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing was sent by fax and U.S. Mail to the following addressees on this 3rd day of November, 2009: + +Brad Esq.

4 Certified Realline Reporter and Notary Public in and for

5 the State of Florida at Large, in the above cause.

6 ---

7 MR. [REDACTED]: We're going to put something on

8 the record about -- well, we'll do it this way --

9 MR. REINHART: Do it at the end, after we get

10 him -- whatever you want. It's your show.

11 MR. [REDACTED]: Okay. There were -- I don't

12 even think Mr. Willits is aware of this. There was

13 a subpoena duces tecum for this witness, as well as

14 the previous witness, which was another pilot, Dave

15 Rogers, and that duces tecum was to bring the

16 flight logs related from 1998 through 2005. What

17 was produced at the previous deposition were flight

18 logs from 2002 through 2005, and now Mr. Reinhart

19 has agreed to produce the remainder of the flight

20 logs requested, those going from 1998 through 2002.

21 MR. REINHART: Correct. They're pilot logs,

22 not flight logs. There are other records we

23 indicated are corporate records, and with those you

24 have to deal with Mr. Critton.

25 MR. CRITTON: However, with the proviso, too,

You think that this Is Just a story that a 6 bunch of underage women have made up? + +7 A. Speculation. + +MR. CRITTON: Objection. Now its + +9 argumentative. Who gives a dam what he thinks one :0 way or another? f he has personal knowledge — + +l1 MR : You're objecting to the form? + +;2 MR. CRITTON: Its argumentative. + +13 MRIIIM: You're objecting to the form? + +lla MR. CRITTON: Yes. + +X15 Min: Okay. + +.16 BY MR + +17 O. Is that something that you believe that a + +18 bunch of women — some of which know each other, some 19'. don't some of which have been on the airplane and some + +20 which haven't — made this up, that Jeffrey Epstein + +21 engaged in some sexual conduct with them? + +22 MR. CRITTON: Form. + +23 THE WITNESS: What I believe doesn't matter In + +24 Ws case, does it? + +25 + +1 2 3 4 Q. All right. When you read in the newspapers the allegations that Mr. Epstein was involved with numerous underage girls for sexual reasons, were you surprised? + +S A. I didn't believe it. + +6 Q. Do you believe it today? + +8 O. You don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was involved with underage girls in a sexual way? + +10 MR. CRITTON: Form. + +11 12 13 THE WITNESS: You're asking for my opinion, and I don't think my opinion is relevant In that matter. + +19 BY MR. + +15 16 Q. I think It's relevant Can you just tell me whether today you believe that Jeffrey Epstein has + +17 engaged in sex with underage girls? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation, Irrelevant, + +18 + +19 20 always. THE WITNESS: It's Irrelevant. + +21 BY MR. + +22 Q. I need an answer. + +23 A. I don't believe he had sex with underage + +24 + +25 0. Or engaged in any sexual acts with underage + +66 + +A. I don't believe it + +68 + +BY + +2 Q. I need an answer. Do you believe It? Do you 3 believe these girls made this up? + +4 MR. CRITTON: Form. + +5 MR. REINHART: I'm going to instruct him not 6 to answer. Move on. + +7 MR.-: Is there a privilege that we're 8 asserting? + +9 MR. REINHART: No, It's irrelevant. It's 10 harassment and not likely to lead to discoverable 11 evidence. + +12 I'm going to-put on the record 13 right now that it is — we we allowed discovery + +14 into a RICO count. We are also allowed discovery + +15 Into the intent of Mr. Epstein In developing a 16 criminal enterprise designed to sexually exploit + +17 and sexually abuse underage girls. We beHave that 18 In doing so, he associated Intentionally with + +19 people of similar beliefs that sex with underage 20 girls is okay, and that there have been many + +21 discussions with this witness, as well as many 22 other witnesses with -- to Insure his protection + +23 from law enforcement that they not answer these 24 specific questions. And thus, the opinions and + +25 beliefs of all of these witnesses that we are + +alleging associated with this criminal enterprise are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. And If you're still Instructing the witness, based on that proffer, not to answer any of these questions, tin going to continue to ask the questions and you can instruct him not to answer and we can go to the B Court MR. REINHART: My response is to his opinion whether people making allegations in this case are colluding or making up astory is irrelevant to what you Just said. So I am going to instruct him not to answer any question that goes to his opinion of someone else's motivation or the truth of facts to which he has no knowledge. So yes, I'm instructing him not to answer, MR. GRITTON: Let me add in my part, Is that I think — you're certainly not only capable to ask questions with regard to what his personal knowledge is, and If he knows something or he has reasonable basis for it; certainly you are entitled to that information. I think yotNe asked those questions and he's given you straightforward answers as to what he knew or what he didn't know under those circumstances. And as to what his + + a A. It's an °Onion. and I believe that he has not. Q. Okay. Isn't It true that at some point in time you learned that Jeffrey Epstein has — strike that. MR. CRITTON: When you ultimately get to a good place to break, will you let us know? MR. : Let's break now. (A break was had at 11:28 a.m.) BY MR. =II O. MI right. Eighteen years of being a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein and In terms of being able to name somebody that you would say you've observed with Jeffrey Epstein and v•otid classify that person as Jeffrey Epstein's friend, can you name anybody?

Is that a person that at some point In time + +thoughts are on something which he has no factual basis or even en assumption to know one way or another is Irrelevant. That's ultimately for a fact-finder In this case. While it's interesting, it's argumentative and I don't think he's — I mean, do it on a question-by-question basis. If he has knowledge, that's great, but to argue your case with this witness or any other witness doesn't serve a purpose and I think Is, you know — I think it's not a good use of our time, I'll put it that way. But you know, you can go ahead and ask. MR. I can ask the question and if the witness is being instructed not to answer, we'll let a Judge decide whether he needs to answer the question and whether its discoverable or not. MR.

CRITTON: Exactly. It's an argurnentelNe 3.7 question. is MR. Mt 90109109(9999499 you about it. MR. CRITTON: You're arguing with him about now. MR. NO, I'M inking him the hypothetical. sr PAR..= Q. Can you answer that? Would you have continuer + +to be a pilot for somebody who's traveling to and from destinations with the goal of having sex with underage girls? MR. CRITTON: Form.

REPLY TO ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT ADLER'S P.A.'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR ORDER FOR THE PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE IDE 4051 SAS TO JANE DOE v. EPSTEIN CASE NO.: 08-CIV- 80893) + +Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Reply to Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler P.A.'s ("RRA") Response to Defendant's Emergency Motion for Order for the Preservation of Evidence [DE 405], and states: + +1. It now appears that the Honorable Herbert Stettin ("Mr. Stettin") is the sole individual, as the Chief Restructuring Officer, in charge of RRA assets, including electronic and paper records. There also appears to be no objection to the entry of the preservation order consistent with his fiduciary/trustee duties for RRA, although certain documents may no longer exist within his possession. + +2. Par. 4 of the response reflects that some 40 plus boxes of documents were obtained by the Department of Justice from search warrants served on the offices of RRA; "it is believed that the Department of Justice also sequestered about (13) boxes of documents related to this [Epstein] case." In fact there are three Epstein cases which have been brought by the RRA firm, one being in federal court, two in state court. Mr. Stettin confirms Defendant's belief that there are serious ethical and potentially criminal issues that may impact Plaintiffs' ability to pursue their cases. + +3. Unfortunately, time is critical with regard to this case in that there are deadlines to Disclose Experts and Exchange Reports by October 29, 2009 (but Plaintiff has not seen her expert, has no report and only made herself available for the Defendant's exam on November 13, 2009), deposition discovery deadline is November 28, 2009 and a calendar call of February 19, 2010 for the February 22, 2010 trial docket. While the undersigned understands that Mr. Stettin may be working expeditiously to deal with critical and pressing needs of stabilizing the firm, a delay of 45 days for his deposition (which has been set in the state court case in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, State of Florida, L.M. v. Epstein, Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMB AB, not the case subludice) will place his deposition sometime during the first 15 days of January, after every pre-trial deadline has expired. + +4. If in fact there has been inappropriate and/or illegal conduct associated with the prosecution of this case by RRA or any of its attorneys or by the Plaintff herself, which might result in sanctions, dismissal or other remedy, Defendant Epstein will be severely prejudiced. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant Epstein request that the court's preservation order be made permanent, which does not seem inconsistent with Mr. Stettin's position as expressed by his lawyers but deny the relief sought for delaying the deposition unless the court is disposed to modify the current scheduling deadlines and trial date that exist in this case. + +By: Robert D. ritton, Jr. .

Third party witness, Igor Zinoview, seeks to have this Court enter an order preventing his deposition from going forward at all, or, in the alternative, limiting the scope of permissible questioning during same. Mr. Zinoview's deposition is presently scheduled to be taken on December 18, 2009. +- 2. Mr. Zinoview has been employed by Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, as his "driver, bodyguard, and trainer" since November of 2005. See Affidavit of Igor Zinoview + +(D.E. 402) dated November 9, 2009. Mr. Zinoview argues that his deposition should not go forward as scheduled because Defendant Epstein has never discussed nor attempted to discuss with him "any facts or information related to any legal matters in which he [Jeffrey Epstein] is involved." Id. From Mr. Zinoview's vague assertion springs the bold yet erroneous argument that "Mr. Zinoview cannot possibly have any knowledge or information that is presently germane to this action." + +3. It should initially be noted that a "complete prohibition of a deposition is an extraordinary measure which should be resorted to only in rare occasions." Jennings v. Family Management, 201 F.R.D. 272 (D.D.C. 2001); See also, Salter v. Upjohn Co., 593 F.2d 649, 651 (591 Circ. 1979)(It is very unusual for trial court to prohibit the taking of a deposition altogether, and absent extraordinary circumstances, such order would likely be in error.)• Inv. Properties Intern., Ltd. v. IOS, Ltd., 459 F.2d. 705, 708 (2d Circ. 1972)("an order to vacate a notice of taking deposition is generally regarded as both unusual and unfavorable . . . "). Neither Mr. Zinoview's conclusory affidavit nor his Motion provide anything even approaching the "extraordinary circumstances" necessary to justify the entry of order precluding his deposition from going forward at all. + +4. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview's vague assertion that he and Defendant Epstein have never discussed any facts or information related to any legal matters that Mr. Epstein is involved in does not give rise to requisite "extraordinary circumstances" either. Detweiler Bros, Inc. v John Graham and Company, 412 F.Supp. 416 (E.D. Wash, 1976)(Plaintiff could not properly seek to prohibit defendant from deposing plaintiff's employee via a protective order on grounds that employee had no knowledge of matters at issue.) See also 8 Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. §2037, and "A witness ordinarily cannot escape examination by denying knowledge of any relevant facts, since the party seeking to take the deposition is entitled to test the witness's lack of knowledge.") + +5. The undersigned, as well as counsel for all of the other victims of Jeffrey Epstein, are entitled to question and challenge Mr. Zinoview on his purported lack of knowledge. Mr. Zinoview and plaintiffs' counsel very well might have a difference of opinion on what constitutes "facts and information related to any legal matters" in which Defendant Epstein is involved. The victims of Jeffrey Epstein ought not to be forced to accept Mr. Zinoview's opinion as to what constitutes "facts and information related to any legal matters" involving Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, plaintiffs should be able to explore these relevant matters directly with Mr. Zinoview, rather than being forced to rely on his twenty seven (27) word claim of lacking any knowledge. + +6. Additionally, Mr. Zinoview worked for Defendant Epstein during portions of the Palm Beach Police Department's months' long investigation which spanned from March 15, 2005 through February 2006 into the illegal sexual contact committed by Defendant Epstein against these minor plaintiffs. Accordingly, Mr. Zinoview certainly might have direct knowledge about what was going on in and around the Epstein residence during the time period in which he was employed by Defendant Epstein as his "driver, bodyguard, and trainer" while his employer was being investigated by law enforcement. Given the Defendant's voracious invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege, the plaintiffs have consistently been denied the opportunity to seek any relevant information directly from Defendant Epstein himself. Rather, plaintiffs have been forced to build their cases against Mr. Epstein by other discovery methods, including deposing his employees who may have relevant information. + +7. Third party witness Igor Zinoview has failed to meet his very high burden of establishing "extraordinary circumstances." Mr. Zinoview has failed to demonstrate the "good cause" required by Rule 26(c) to protect a person from "annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense" to overcome the liberal scope of permissible discovery. The above proposed lines of inquiry of Mr. Zinoview are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Accordingly, to the extent that it seeks to preclude his deposition from going forward at all, Mr. Zinoview's Motion should be denied + +8. Next, Mr. Zinoview also seeks to prevent questions being posed to him wherein he is first asked to "assume certain facts about which he has no knowledge," and then be asked about his "opinions about certain facts." First, it remains to be seen exactly what facts about which Mr. Zinoview has no knowledge. Second, Mr. Zinoview's opinions and beliefs about the factual matters surrounding plaintiffs' claims are relevant to exploring any potential bias and prejudice in favor of his employer and against Defendant Epstein's victims. For example, if Mr. Zinoview believes that these plaintiffs are simply inventing their claims against his employer that they were sexually victimized by Defendant Epstein while they were minor children, it very well might impact his impartiality as a witness. Third, the undersigned has no present intention of engaging in this line of questioning unless the proverbial "door" has been opened by Mr. Zinoview first. Lastly, counsel for Mr. Zinoview is certainly free to invoke the privileges afforded to him by the applicable procedural rules should he feel that his client is being asked inappropriate questions during the deposition. + +9. In conclusion and for the reasons cited above, Mr. Zinoview's Motion For Protective Order should be denied in its entirety. + +WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, respectfully requests that this Court deny Third Party Igor Zinoview's Motion For Protective Order. + +Respectfully submitted, + +/s/Jack P ■ + +**JACK SCAROLA** + +**Florida Bar No. 169440** + +**JACK P.** + +**Florida Bar No.: 0547808** + +**Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A.** + +**2139 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard** + +**West Palm Beach, Florida 33409** + +**Phone: (561) 686-6300** + +**Fax: (561) 383-9456** + +**Attorneys for Plaintiff** + +## CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE + +I HEREBY CERTIFY that on November 281h, 2009, I electronically filed the foregoing document with the Clerk of Court using CM/ECF.

The issuing court must enforce this duty and impose an appropriate sanction — which may include lost earnings and reasonable attorney's fees — on a party or attorney who fails to comply. + +**(2) Command to Produce Materials or Permit Inspection.****(A) Appearance Not Required.** A person commanded to produce documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to permit the inspection of premises, need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless also commanded to appear for a deposition, hearing, or trial. + +**(B) Objections.** A person commanded to produce documents or tangible things or to permit inspection may serve on the party or attorney designated in the subpoena a written objection to inspecting, copying, testing or sampling any or all of the materials or to inspecting the premises — or to producing electronically stored information in the form or forms requested. The objection must be served before the earlier of the time specified for compliance or 14 days after the subpoena is served. If an objection is made, the following rules apply: + +(i) At any time, on notice to the commanded person, the serving party may move the issuing court for an order compelling production or inspection. + +(ii) These acts may be required only as directed in the order, and the order must protect a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer from significant expense resulting from compliance. + +**(3) Quashing or Modifying a Subpoena.****(A) When Required.** On timely motion, the issuing court must quash or modify a subpoena that: + +- (i) fails to allow a reasonable time to comply; +- (ii) requires a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer to travel more than 100 miles from where that person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person — except that, subject to Rule 45(c)(3)(B)(iii), the person may be commanded to attend a trial by traveling from any such place within the state where the trial is held; +- (iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if no exception or waiver applies; or +- (iv) subjects a person to undue burden. + +**(B) When Permitted.** To protect a person subject to or affected by a subpoena, the issuing court may, on motion, quash or modify the subpoena if it requires: + +- (i) disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information; +- (ii) disclosing an unretained expert's opinion or information that does not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the expert's study that was not requested by a party; or +- (iii) a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer to incur substantial expense to travel more than 100 miles to attend trial. + +**(C) Specifying Conditions as an Alternative.** In the circumstances described in Rule 45(c)(3)(B), the court may, instead of quashing or modifying a subpoena, order appearance or production under specified conditions if the serving party: + +- (i) shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise met without undue hardship; and +- (ii) ensures that the subpoenad person will be reasonably compensated. + +**(d) Duties in Responding to a Subpoena.****(1) Producing Documents or Electronically Stored Information.** These procedures apply to producing documents or electronically stored information: + +**(A) Documents.** A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents must produce them as they are kept in the ordinary course of business or must organize and label them to correspond to the categories in the demand. + +**(B) Form for Producing Electronically Stored Information Not Specified.** If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing electronically stored information, the person responding must produce it in a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably usable form or forms. + +**(C) Electronically Stored Information Produced in Only One Form.** The person responding need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form. + +**(D) Inaccessible Electronically Stored Information.** The person responding need not provide discovery of electronically stored information from sources that the person identifies as not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. On motion to compel discovery or for a protective order, the person responding must show that the information is not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the court may nonetheless order discovery from such sources if the requesting party shows good cause, considering the limitations of Rule 26(b)(2)(C). The court may specify conditions for the discovery. + +**(2) Claiming Privilege or Protection.****(A) Information Withheld.** A person withholding subpoenad information under a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection as trial-preparation material must: + +- (i) expressly make the claim; and +- (ii) describe the nature of the withheld documents, communications, or tangible things in a manner that, without revealing information itself privileged or protected, will enable the parties to assess the claim. + +**(B) Information Produced.** If information produced in response to a subpoena is subject to a claim of privilege or of protection as trial-preparation material, the person making the claim may notify any party that received the information of the claim and the basis for it. After being notified, a party must promptly return, sequester, or destroy the specified information and any copies it has; must not use or disclose the information until the claim is resolved; must take reasonable steps to retrieve the information if the party disclosed it before being notified; and may promptly present the information to the court under seal for a determination of the claim. The person who produced the information must preserve the information until the claim is resolved. + +**(e) Contempt.** The issuing court may hold in contempt a person who, having been served, fails without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena. A nonparty's failure to obey must be excused if the subpoena purports to require the nonparty to attend or produce at a place outside the limits of Rule 45(c)(3)(A)(ii). \ No newline at end of file

CAUSE AND FOR AIQII COMPEL AND 1N( PORATM MEMORANDUM F LAW + +Non-party Jean Luc Bruhnel hereby files his Response to Plaintiff, Jane Doe's Motion for an Order to Show Cause and for an Order to Compel and Incorporated Memorandum of Law which was filed on March 10, 2010. (DE#483). Plaintiffs counsel seeks to compel Mr. Bruhnel, a citizen who is not a party to the instant action, to sit for a deposition that was canceled and for which he has never been re-noticed. This motion is premature at best, and frivolous. + +While visiting New York, Mr. Bruhnel was served with a Subpoena and Notice of Videotape Deposition in this matter.' As a courtesy, undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel + +' Please see Exhibit A, annexed hereto and incorporated by reference. + +agreed to produce Mr. Bruhnel for deposition in Florida on November 3, 2010 for the convenience of the parties because Mr. Bruhnel had plans to travel to Florida at that time. The videotape deposition was accordingly canceled. Two new deposition notices were then e-mailed to counsel for Bruhnel, both of which emanated from related cases in Florida Circuit Court, with no additional notice emanating from the instant matter before this Court. 2 That scheduled deposition was then canceled by agreement of the parties, who mutually agreed that plaintiff's counsel's secretary would call counsel for Mr. Bruhnel to reset the deposition. + +Neither plaintiff's counsel nor his secretary called to reschedule the deposition until January, 2010. In the intervening time, all depositions in the myriad related matters had been canceled, upon information and belief, due to the scandal involving plaintiff's counsel's previous law partner. Further, Mr. Bruhnel had left the United States with no firm plan to return, which was conveyed to plaintiff's counsel during a telephone conversation in January. + +Mr. Bruhnel's counsel attempted to secure firm dates on which Mr. Bruhnel would be traveling to the United States, but was unable to do so. Undersigned counsel accordingly informed planitiff's counsel that she could not secure any firm dates. When plaintiff's counsel insisted that Mr. Bruhnel provide deposition dates, plaintiff's counsel was informed that Mr. Bruhnel could not be compelled to return to the United States. Undersigned counsel told plaintiff's counsel that there were appropriate mechanisms through which he could secure Mr. + +2 Please see Exhibit B, annexed hereto and incorporated by reference. + +Bruhnel's testimony abroad pursuant to Florida, Federal and International law. Indeed, undersigned counsel directed plaintiff's counsel to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure and the Hague Convention, each of which provide specific mechanisms for the securing of testimony abroad. + +Plaintiff's counsel has never served Mr. Bruhnel or undersigned counsel with a re-notice for deposition since the cancellation of the prior scheduled depositions, and has never attempted to avail himself of proper legal procedures to secure Mr. Bruhnel's testimony abroad. Further, contrary to plaintiff's counsel's Certification to this court, plaintiff's counsel never conferred with undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel regarding the instant Order to Show Cause and for an Order to Compel. + +## MEMORANDUM OF LAW + +As stated above, the previously scheduled depositions were canceled by agreement of the parties herein and Mr. Bruhnel has never been re-noticed for deposition. The motion currently before the court is therefore premature and frivolous. Regardless, it is respectfully noted that the Court lacks authority to compel Mr. Bruhnel to return to the United States for deposition. Indeed, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure specifically decline to confer upon the Court the power to compel foreign nationals to appear before it. See Fed. Rules Civ.Proc. Rule 45. 28 USC 41783. + +The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure and the Hague Convention, however, have each + +adopted procedural rules to facilitate the deposition of a non-party foreign national. Indeed, The Uniform Foreign Depositions Act, as adopted by Florida in section 92.251 ("UFDL") provides a road map for litigants seeking to secure evidence from foreign non-party witnesses, stating + +(2) Whenever any mandate, writ or commission is issued out of any court of record in any other state, territory, district, or foreign jurisdiction, or whenever upon notice or agreement it is required to take the testimony of a witness or witnesses in this state, witnesses may be compelled to appear and testify in the same manner and by the same process and proceeding as may be employed for the purposes of taking testimony in proceedings pending in this state. + +§ 92.251 Florida statutes. + +Thus, whenever a Florida litigant desires to depose a witness residing in another state, that litigant must first secure the appointment of a commissioner from the court where the litigation originates. See Freedom Newspapers, Inc. 507 So.2d 1180 (Fla 2d DCA 1987), at 1183. The foreign litigant may then apply to the court having personal jurisdiction over the witness for the process necessary to secure the attendance of the witness. Id. (citing Travelers Indem. Co. v. •, 388 So.2d 648 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980)). See Greenlight Financial Services. Inc. v. Union America M ortg., Inc,. 971 So.2d 983 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008). This may be done through mechanisms provided via The Hague Convention, to which France is a signatory. Given that several cases are currently pending in Florida Circuit Court that are related to the instant matter, plaintiff may avail herself of this mechanism to secure Mr. Bruhnel's testimony, but has chosen not to. Accordingly, there has been no malfeasance herein by Mr. Bruhnel or his counsel, only nonfeasance by plaintiffs counsel. + +Plaintiff's counsel has misrepresented to this court that he spoke to Mr. Bruhnel's counsel about this motion prior to filing it with the Court. Undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel was never notified in any manner that any such motion was being prepared or filed. + +Plaintiff's counsel has further misrepresented to this Court that undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel stated that Mr. Bruhnel, "has been out of this country since prior to the New Year with no plans to return." In fact, undersigned counsel has consistently told Plaintiff's counsel that she was unaware of Mr. Bruhnel's travel schedule and that she did not know when Mr. Bruhnel planned to return to this country. + +WHEREFORE, JEAN LUC BRUHNEL, a non-party to the instant matter, and undersigned counsel for Mr. Bruhnel, respectfully request that the Court DENY plaintiff's Motion for an Order to Show Cause and an Order to Compel in its entirety. Mr. Bruhnel and undersigned counsel further respectfully request that the Court impose sanctions and attorney's fees incurred in the defense of Plaintiff's frivolous motion, and for whatever further relief this Court deems appropriate. + +Dated: March 12, 2010 + +Respectfully submitted, + +TAMA BETH KUDM AN, P.A.

Yes? A. Yes. Q. All right. So, from your 16th birthday on you were able to drive acar? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Let me go bad( then to the police statement. The police statement that you gave in the Epstein well, let me strike that. You were at Mr. Epstein's home on, you say approximately June of 2004. And I think you went on how many additional occasions to his home? A. I went atotal of four times. Q. And were they within ashort period of time, or were they over alength of time? A. A length of time. Q. And what — for going the second time, do + +you recall what approximate date that was? Or if you want to use approximately X-time after June of '04, that's okay too. A. I don't remember. Q. How about the third time? A. About close to Christmas. Q. And what makes you recall that, that it -- A. Decorations. Q. — that it was close to Christmas? A. Decorations. Q. Okay. You mean, just decorations around town or decorations — that is, where did you see decorations that makes you remember the third time you were at his home? A. °negate. Q. On his gate? A. On a gate. Q. On just a gate when you were going, headed that way? A. Yes. Q. All right. And then the fourth time was approximately when? Was it after Christmas? 3 A. Yes. Q. Approximately how long after? A. It was hot outside, maybe spring, summer. + +Q. And that would have been of '05? A. Correct. Q. So if — of the four times that you went, last being approximately spring/summer of '05 based on your testimony, how much after that period or how long atime period transpired before you spoke with the police, or do you just not have any recollection? A. I don't remember. Q. And you don't remember whether you spoke to the police in '05 or '06 or '07; is that a correct statement? A. Correct. Q. And I think part of my question was — is, you indicated 1 think you've seen the police statement approximately two or three times? A. Correct. Q. Okay. Did you read the entire statement? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Did you see — was anything, do you know, if I use the word "redacted," do you know what that means? A. No, sir. Q. Somethings crossed out A. Yes, I saw that. + +BY MR. CRITTON: Q. All right. Let me go back to J.L., okay. At the time that Mr. Epstein, at least based on what you testified earlier today, is because Mr. Epstein did touch your breasts -- well, in fact, I should probably clear up one thing. He only touched you in the vaginal area, from what you've testified to today, is over your boy shorts, correct? A. Yes. Q. And you have said that there was never any penetration? A. Correct. Q. Okay. You never touched any of his private parts, true? A. Correct. Q. Okay. You never had any land of intercourse? A. No. Q. All right. Never had oral sex? A. No. Q. He to you, you to him, correct? A. No. Q. Any type of other no type of sexual contact whatsoever? MR. MERMELSTEIN: Objection, form. + +THE WITNESS: Yes. BY MR CRITTON: Q. Okay. And what kind of a friend, at least with Jane Doe No. 2, what kind of afriend exposes another good friend to a shocking, disturbing, emotionally disturbing event? MR. MERMELSTEIN: rhetorical. BY MR. CRITTON: Q. Why did you do that? A. I don't know. Q. Okay. You also did that to J., J.L., correct? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Why did you do that with J.L.? A. I don't know. MR. CRTITON: Let's go about ten more minutes, and we'll take abreak. Okay? MR. MERMELSTEIN: All right. Is that okay? THE WITNESS: (Witness nods head.) MR. MERMELSTEIN: Okay. BY MR. CRITTON: Q. Did you tell J.L. what / Did you tell her what vou had told Form, argumentative, + +Page 175 + +BY MR. CRITTON: Q. That is, your, your sexual organ with one of his sexual organs; that never occurred, correct? A. You're asking me if I've had sex with hint? Q. No. None of your sexual organs ever came in contact with his sexual organs, true? A. Correct. BQ. All right. So, again, what — based on what you told Haley that he did touch your breasts, and that you did take your shin and your skirt off but left on your bra and your boy shorts, that you were in shock and emotionally disturbed at what happened within at the time, and then you told Haley within an hour how upset you were, you also took Jane Doe No. 2 there, correct? A. Yes. Q. All right. And was Jane Doe No. 2 agood friend of yours, then? A. Yes. Q. All right. So despite this, I'd say, shocking incident to you, you were willing to expose your friend Jane Doe No. 2 as well to, at least based on your testimony, to this shocking, disturbing experience that you had had, true? MR MERMELSTEIN: Form. + +Page 177 + +A. Not exactly. Q. But did you tell her she might be asked to take off her clothes? A. And that you don't have to, yes. Q. All right. And you said you, you may be asked to take off your clothes, but you don't have to? A. Yes. Q. Okay. And did you say he might try to touch you, but if he does, just tell him you're not comfortable? MR\_ MERMELSIEIN: Form. THE WITNESS: Can you — BY MR. CRITTON: Q. Yeah. Did you, did you tell her as well, is if he tries to touch you, just tell him you don't feel comfortable? MR. MERMELSTEIN: Form. THE WITNESS: I told her if he tries to do anything, you can say no. BY MR. CRITTON: Q. Okay. And, and then he will stop? A. Yes. Q. Okay. And did you tell Jane Doe No. 2 the same thing -- + +Q. Haley's house? A. Yes. Q. Okay. And, and what did you do there? A. Get ready to go out or do something. I don't remember. Q. Did you go out that night? A. We did. I don't know. Q. Did something? A. I don't remember. We did something. I don't remember. Q. The three of you did something? A. We did something. Q. Okay. Do you remember what you did with the money? A. No. Q. Okay. Did you buy anything, or you just don't remember one way or the other? A. I bought abeer. Q. All right. Usually beers aren't 200 bucks. A. Right. Q. Especially in — all right. And you don't remember what you did with the rest of the money? A. No. Q. The, the next time you went, I think you + +Page 259 + +said, was the next time you went around the Christmastime date, or did you go the second time before Christmas? A. Maybe around — I don't know. I don't remember. Q. And do you remember who, how it was that you went the second time? A. I don't remember. Q. Okay. Do you remember who you went with the second time? A. I believe it was with Jane Doe No. 2. Q. Okay. Jane Doe No. 2? A. Yes. Q. So your recollection is you went with Jane Doe No. 2 the second time, just the two of you? A. Yes. Q Okay. Did Jane Doe No. 4 go with you the second time? A. I don't remember. Q. Did, did Jane Doe No. 4 ever go with you again? A. Yes Q. Okay. When did she go with you again? A. When I took her. 9 So our recollection is that she, she was + +there the first time, but you don't recall seeing her either the second or the third time but only the fourth time when you took her? A. Correct. Q. And when you took Jane Doe No. 2 the second time, you already described for me, so I won't belabor it as to say what your conversation was with both Jane Doe No. 2 and as well J.L. Remember we talked about that a little earlier? A. Yes. THE VEDEOGRAPHER: Sir, you're covering your microphone. BY MR. CRITTON: Q. We talked about that earlier, correct? A. Yes. Q. Okay. So when you, when you took Jane Doe No. 2 the second time, did you pick her up? A. Yes. Q. And did you pick her up in your 2006 Toyota Corolla? MR. MERMELSTEIN: Objection to form. THE WITNESS: I picked her up in my car, yes. BY MR. CRITTON: Q. Which was the 2006 Toyota Corolla? + +Page 261 + +MR. MERMELSTELN: Font. THE WITNESS: Or I don't know what year it was.

I think it was an older model, model than that. Q. Okay. So, anyhow, you picked her up in your car? A. Yep. Q. And when you got in the car did you say, did you say anything else to her other than what you told early, told me earlier that you said to both Jane Doe No. 2 and to J.L. about him maybe asking you to take your clothes off, him asking you that he may try to touch you, and do what you feel comfortable with? A. That you're not allowed to talk to him. Q. Okay. Anything else? A. Not that I remember, no. Q. Okay.

Based on the undisputed material facts and applicable law relevant to the summary judgment sought, Defendant is entitled as a matter of law to the entry of summary judgment determining that (1) the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective 1999 to Jul. 26, 2006, the period of time during which EPSTEIN's alleged conduct occurred, applies to Plaintiff's claim brought pursuant to §2255; (2) Plaintiff has not and cannot establish the requisite elements to state a claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255, which she attempts to assert in Count III of her Second Amended Complaint [D.E. 50]. In particular, the undisputed material facts show that Plaintiff has failed to and cannot establish a predicate act —under 18 U.S.C. §2422 as plead in her complaint, in order to state a cause of action pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2004); and (3) the version of 18 U.S.C. § 2255 in effect when the predicate acts allegedly were committed allow only "minors" to file suit.

Plaintiff JANE DOE NO. 3's Second Amended Complaint [D.E. 50], dated February 27, 2009, attempts to assert three causes of action. Count I and Count II, respectively, attempt to allege state law claims under Florida law for "Sexual Assault and Battery," and "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress." Count III, which is the subject of this motion, is entitled "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra + +Page 3 + +Violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422," and attempts to assert a claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255. (Plaintiff JANE DOE NO. 3 shall be referred to as "JD3" or "Jane" or "Jane Doe." Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint shall be referred to as "2d Am Comp," and is attached hereto as Exhibit A.). + +2. According to the allegations - "In or about 2004-2005, Jane Doe, then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and became one of his victims." [2d Am Comp, ¶8]. She had one encounter with Epstein; (after the one encounter she brought other girls to Epstein's Palm Beach home as specified below). (2d Am Comp. ¶14). Plaintiff further alleges that — + +recruited Jane Doe to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation. brought Jane to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach. Jane was led up the flight of stairs to the room with the massage table. She was alone in the room when Epstein arrived wearing a towel to cover his private parts. He laid down on the massage table, and sexually assaulted Jane Doe during the massage. In addition, Jeffrey Epstein masturbated during the massage. [2d Am Comp, ¶12]. + +... Jane was paid \$200 by Epstein. (2d Am Comp, ¶13). + +3. Material to this motion, in attempting to assert a claim in Count III pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, Plaintiff alleges in material part that — + +- 29. Epstein used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce or entice Jane Doe, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. +- 30. On June 30, 2008, Epstein entered a plea of guilty to violations of Florida §§796.07 and 796.03, in the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County (Case Nos. ...), for conduct involving the same plan or scheme as alleged herein. +- 31. As to Plaintiff Jane Doe, Epstein could have been charged with criminal violations of Florida Statute §796.07(2)(including subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) thereof), and other criminal offenses + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 4 + +including violations of Florida Statutes §§798.02 and 800.04 (including subsections (5), (6) and (7) thereof). + +32. Epstein's acts and conduct are in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422. + +33. As a result of Epstein's violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422, Plaintiff has suffered personal injury, including mental, psychological and emotional damages. + +4. In the "WHEREFORE" clause of Count III, Plaintiff "demands judgment against Jeffery Epstein for all damages available under 18 U.S.C. §2255(a), ." See 2d Am Comp, Count III, Exhibit A hereto. + +5. In trying to assert a violation of the federal criminal statute 18 U.S.C. 2422 as the requisite predicate act for a claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a)1, Plaintiff generally tracks the language of subsection (b) of 18 U.S.C. 2422 (eff. Apr. 30, 2003), which states in relevant part — + +(b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years. + +See endnote 2 for complete text of statute. + +(See endnote 1 hereto for full text of 18 U.S.C. §2255, the version that applied in 2004, and the amended version effective July 27, 2006.) + +6. Epstein never, using a facility or means of interstate commerce, knowingly persuaded, induced or enticed JD3, when she was under the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempted to do so. (Deposition Testimony of JD3, taken February 19 2010. + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra- + +Page 5 + +See pages referenced below herein). A copy of the referenced deposition pages is attached hereto as Exhibit B. See endnote 2 for full text of 18 U.S.C. §2422.2 + +7. JD3 testified that she first learned of Epstein ("Jeffrey") through Jane Doe No. 4, (another Plaintiff in a lawsuit against Epstein), and and through other girls, Jane Doe No. 7 and J.S. (JD3 Deposition, pp. 84-90). According to JD3, while at the home of Jane Doe No. 4, told her "You can make quick money, 200 bucks just to give a guy a massage." Haley said his name and that he live in Palm Beach. (JD3 Deposition, p. 90, lines 12-24). JD3 and Jane Doe 4 "were good friends" at the time. (Id, p. 104). JD3 learned at some point "through word of mouth" that Jane Doe 4 had been to Epstein's house because they "all hung out together." (Id, p. 92-93). + +8. Jane Doe 4 told her "you give him a massage." (Id, p. 95, Lines 8-9). Haley said the same — you give a 1/2 hour massage for \$200. (P. 96, p. 217). Haley telephone JD3 twice and asked if she wanted to give Epstein a massage for \$200. JD3 thought about it and eventually JD3 agreed to do so and Haley "set it up." (Id, p. 218-20). + +9. JD4 and JD7, who had been to Epstein's home and who are both represented by the same law firm as JD3, JD2, JD5 and JD6 in other actions against Epstein before this Court, were friends of JD3 and led JD3 to believe it was no big deal to go to Epstein's home and that nothing inappropriate had ever occurred. (JD3 Deposition, pp. 143-145). Now that they seek millions in damages, Plaintiffs' version of the facts has changed substantially. + +10. JD3 never spoke with Epstein by phone, and never received or sent a text or email or computer/electronic communication from Epstein. (JD3 Deposition, p. 222). + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 6 + +There is no deposition testimony or allegations that JD3 ever traveled anywhere by any means with Epstein. + +11. JD3 went to Epstein's Palm Beach home a total of four times. (JD3 deposition, p. 19, lines 19-21). Although JD3 only gave Epstein the "massage" the one time, afterwards she brought back other girls and got paid for it, even picking up the girls in her own car. (JD3 Deposition, p. 175, lines 8-25, p. 176, lines 1-14; p. 259-62, p. 266). + +12. JD3's date of birth is March 5, 1988. (JD3 Deposition, p. 5). The original Complaint [D.E. 1] in this matter was filed on March 5, 2008. JD3 turned 18 on March 5, 2006. Thus, JD3 was 20 years old at the time this suit was filed. + +# Summary Judgment Standard + +Summary judgment is proper under Rule 56(c)(2), Fed.R.Civ.P, when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Celotex v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). Pursuant to Rule 56(b), "a party against whom relief is sought may move, with or without supporting affidavits, for summary judgment on all or part of the claim." + +As stated by the Supreme Court in Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-323, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552 (1986) + +.., summary judgment is proper "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." In our view, the plain language of Rule 56(c) mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery and upon motion, against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial. In such a situation, there can be "no genuine issue as to any material fact," since a complete failure of proof concerning an essential element of the nonmoving party's case necessarily renders all other facts immaterial. The moving party is + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-.M + +Page 7 + +"entitled to a judgment as a matter of law" because the nonmoving party has failed to make a sufficient showing on an essential element of her case with respect to which she has the burden of proof. + +### Discussion of Law as Applied to Undisputed Material Facts Showing that EPSTEIN Is Entitled to Summary Judgment as a Matter of Law. + +I. The version of 18 U.S.C. 42255 in effect at the time the purported conduct took place applies to the Plaintiff's 42255 claim against EPSTEIN, not the version as amended and effective July 27, 2006. + +The applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 provides — + +# PART I--CRIMES + +### CHAPTER 110--SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND OTHER ABUSE OF CHILDREN § 2255. Civil remedy for personal injuries + +(a) Any minor who is a victim of a violation of section 2241(c), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any minor as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000 in value. + +(See endnote 1 for complete statutory text, pre and post amendment.) + +By its own terms, 18 U.S.C. 2255(a) creates a cause of action for "a minor who is a victim of a violation of section 2241(c), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation ... ." See generally, v Husband 428 F.Supp.2d 432 (RD. Va. 2006); =v. Husband, 376 F.Supp.2d 603 (E.D. Va. 2006); Doe v. Liberatore, 478 F.Supp.2d 742, 754 (M.D. Pa. 2007). The referenced statutes are all federal criminal statues contained in Title 18 of the United States Code. Thus, in order to sustain a cause of action under §2255, a plaintiff is required to prove all the elements of one of the statutory enumerated criminal predicate acts. See Gray v. Darby, 2009 WL 805435 (E.D. Pa. Mar. + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 8 + +25, 2005), requiring evidence to establish predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 to state cause of action. + +I. A. The statute in effect during the time the alleged conduct occurred applies to each of the Plaintiff's claim brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255 — not the amended version which became effective on July 27, 2006. See endnote 1 for complete statutory text in effect prior to July 27, 2006 and as amended. + +Plaintiff in her complaint asserts that the alleged conduct by EPSTEIN occurred prior to the amended version of §2255 taking effect. Based on JD3's deposition testimony, she had one encounter with Epstein (and three other visits to his house at which she brought other girls but did not have any encounter with Epstein) in or about 2004-2005. Thus, it is undisputed Epstein's conduct occurred prior to §2255's amendment, effective July 27, 2006. + +Under applicable law, the statute in effect at the time of the alleged conduct applies. See U.S. v. Scheidt, Slip Copy, 2010 WL 144837, fn. 1 (E.D.Ca1. Jan. 11, 2010); U.S. v. Renga 2009 WL 2579103, fn. 1 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 19, 2009); U.S. v. Ferenci, 2009 WL 2579102, fn. 1 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 19, 2009); U.S. v. Monk, 2009 WL 2567831, fn. 1 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 18, 2009); U.S. v. Zane, 2009 WL 2567832, fn.1 (RD. Cal. Aug. 18 2009). In each of these cases, the referenced footnote states — + +Prior to July 27, 2006, the last sentence in Section §2255(a) read "Any person as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000 in value." Under the civil statute, the minimum restitution amount for any violation of Section 2252 (the predicate act at issue) is \$150,000 for violations occurring after July 27, 2006 and \$50,000 for violations occurring prior to \$50,000. + +Even with the typo (the extra "\$50,000") at the end of the quoted sentence, it is + +Page 9 + +clear that the Court applied the statute in effect at the time of the alleged criminal conduct constituting one of the statutorily enumerated predicate acts, which is consistent with applicable law discussed more fully below herein. + +It is an axiom of law that "retroactivity is not favored in the law." Bowen, 488 U.S., at 208, 109 S.Ct., at 471 (1988). As eloquently stated in Landgraf v. USI Film Products, 114 S.Ct. 1483, 1497, 511 U.S. 244, 265-66 (1994): + +... the presumption against retroactive legislation is deeply rooted in our jurisprudence, and embodies a legal doctrine centuries older than our Republic. Elementary considerations of fairness dictate that individuals should have an opportunity to know what the law is and to conform their conduct accordingly; settled expectations should not be lightly disrupted.FN18 For that reason, the "**principle that the legal effect of conduct should ordinarily be assessed under the law that existed when the conduct took place has timeless and universal appeal.**" *Kaiser*, 494 U.S., at 855, 110 S.Ct., at 1586 (SCALIA, J., concurring). In a free, dynamic society, creativity in both commercial and artistic endeavors is fostered by a rule of law that gives people confidence about the legal consequences of their actions. + +FN18. See *General Motors Corp. v. Romein*, 503 U.S. 181, 191, 112 S.Ct. 1105, 1112, 117 L.Ed.2d 328 (1992) ("Retroactive legislation presents problems of unfairness that are more serious than those posed by prospective legislation, because it can deprive citizens of legitimate expectations and upset settled transactions"); [Further citations omitted]. + +It is therefore not surprising that the **antiretroactivity principle finds expression in several provisions of our Constitution. The *Ex Post Facto* Clause flatly prohibits retroactive application of penal legislation.**FN19 Article I, § 10, cl. 1, prohibits States from passing another type of retroactive legislation, laws "impairing the Obligation of Contracts." The Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause prevents the Legislature (and other government actors) from depriving private persons of vested property rights except for a "public use" and upon payment of "just compensation." The prohibitions on "Bills of Attainder" in Art. I, §§ 9-10, prohibit legislatures from singling out disfavored persons and meting out summary punishment for past conduct.

The Due Process Clause also protects the interests in fair notice and repose that may be compromised by retroactive legislation; a justification sufficient to validate a statute's prospective application under the Clause "may not suffice" to warrant its retroactive application. *Usery v.

Quoting from the "Background and Need For Legislation" portion of the House Report No. 105-557, 11-16, H.R. 3494, of which 18 U.S.C. §2255 is included, is described as "the most comprehensive package of new crimes and increased penalties ever developed in response to crimes against children, particularly assaults facilitated by computers." Further showing that §2255 was enacted as a criminal penalty or punishment, "Title H — Punishing Sexual Predators," Sec. 206, from House Report No. 105-557, 5-6, specifically includes reference to the remedy created under §2255 as an additional means of punishing sexual predators, along with other penalties and punishments. Senatorial Comments in amending §2255 in 2006 confirm that the creation of the presumptive minimum damage amount is meant as an additional penalty against those who sexually exploit or abuse children. 2006 WL 2034118, 152 Cong. Rec. S8012- 02. Senator Kerry refers to the statutorily imposed damage amount as "penalties." Id. + +The cases of U.S. v. Siegel, supra (11th Cir. 1998), and U.S. v. supra (3d Cir. 1998), also support Defendant's position that application of the current version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 would be in clear violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause. In Siegel, the Eleventh Circuit found that the Ex Post Facto Clause barred application of the Mandatory Victim Restitution Act of 1996 (MVRA) to the defendant whose criminal conduct occurred before the effective date of the statute, 18 U.S.C. §3664(f)(1)(A), even though the guilty plea and sentencing proceeding occurred after the effective date of the statute. On July 19, 1996, the defendant Siegel pleaded guilty to various charges under 18 U.S.C. §371 and §1956(a)(I )(A), (conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, and laundering of money instruments; and money laundering). He was sentenced on March + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 13 + +7, 1997. As part of his sentence, Siegel was ordered to pay \$1,207,000.00 in restitution under the MVRA which became effective on April 24, 1996. Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214, 1229-1236. The 1996 amendments to MVRA required that the district court must order restitution in the full amount of the victim's loss without consideration of the defendant's ability to pay. Prior to the enactment of the MVRA and under the former 18 U.S.C. §3664(a) of the Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982 (VWPA), Pub.l. No. 97-291, 96 Stat. 1248, the court was required to consider, among other factors, the defendant's ability to pay in determining the amount of restitution. + +When the MVRA was enacted in 1996, Congress stated that the amendments to the VWPA "shall, to the extent constitutionally permissible, be effective for sentencing proceedings in cases in which the defendant is convicted on or after the date of enactment of this Act [Apr. 24, 1996]." Siegel, supra at 1258. The alleged crimes occurred between February, 1988 to May, 1990. The Court agreed with the defendant's position that 1996 MVRA "should not be applied in reviewing the validity of the court's restitution order because to do so would violate the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution. See U.S. Const. art 1, §9, cl. 3." + +The Ex Post Facto analysis made by the Eleventh Circuit in Siegel is applicable to this action. In resolving the issue in favor of the defendant, the Court first considered whether a restitution order is a punishment. Id at 1259. In determining that restitution was a punishment, the Court noted that §3663A(a)(1) of Title 18 expressly describes restitution as a "penalty." In addition, the Court also noted that "[a)lthough not in the context of an ex post facto determination, ... restitution is a `criminal penalty meant to have strong deterrent and rehabilitative effect.' United States v. Twitty 107 F.3d 1482, + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 14 + +1493 n. 12 (I 1 th Cir.1997)." Second, the Court considered "whether the imposition of restitution under the MVRA is an increased penalty as prohibited by the Ex Post Facto Clause." Id, at 1259. In determining that the application of the 1996 MVRA would indeed run afoul of the Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause, the Court agreed with the majority of the Circuits that restitution under the 1996 MVRA was an increased penalty.' "The effect of the MVRA can be detrimental to a defendant. Previously, after considering the defendant's financial condition, the court had the discretion to order restitution in an amount less than the loss sustained by the victim. Under the MVRA, however, the court must order restitution to each victim in the full amount." Id, at 1260. See also U.S. v. 162 F.2d 87 (3'd Circuit 1998). + +In the instant cases, in answering the first question, it is clear that that imposition of a minimum amount of damages, regardless of the amount of actual damages suffered by a minor victim, is meant to be a penalty or punishment. See statutory text and House Bill Reports, cited above herein, consistently referring to the presumptive minimum damages amount under §2255 as "punishment" or "penalties." According to the Ex Post Facto doctrine, although §2255 is labeled a "civil remedy," such label is not dispositive; "if the effect of the statute is to impose punishment that is criminal in nature, the ex post facto clause is implicated." See generally, Roman Catholic of Oakland v. Superior Court, 28 Cal.Rptr.3d 355, at 360, citing Kansas v. Hendricks, 521 U.S. 346, 360-61 (1997). The effect of applying the 2006 version of §2255 would be to triple the + +The Eleventh Circuit, in holding that "the MVRA cannot be applied to a person whose criminal conduct occurred prior to April 24, 1996," was "persuaded by the majority of districts on this issue." "Restitution is a criminal penalty carrying with it characteristics of criminal punishment." Siegel, supra at 1260. The Eleventh Circuit is in agreement with the Second, Third, Eighth, Ninth, and D.C. Circuits. See U.S. v. Futrell, 209 F.3d 1286, 1289-90 (11th Cir. 2000). + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 15 + +amount of the presumptive minimum damages to a minor who proves the elements of her §2255 claim. The fact that a plaintiff proceeding under §2255 has to prove a violation of a criminal statute and suffer personal injury to recover damages thereunder, further supports that the imposition of a minimum amount, regardless of a victim's actual damages sustained, is meant and was enacted as additional punishment or penalty for violation of criminal sexual exploitation and abuse of minors. + +Accordingly, this Court is required to apply the statute in effect at the time of the alleged criminal acts. Not only is there no language in the 2006 statute stating that it is to apply retroactively, but further, such application of the 2006 version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 to acts that occurred prior to its effective date would have a detrimental and punitive effect on Defendant by tripling the presumptive minimum of damages available to a plaintiff, regardless of the actual damages suffered? + +I. C. As discussed above, 18 U.S.C. §2255 was enacted as part of the criminal statutory scheme to punish and penalize those who sexually exploit and abuse minors, and thus, the Ex Post Fact Clause prohibits a retroactive application of the 2006 amended version. Even if one were to argue that the statute is "civil" and the damages thereunder are "civil" in nature, under the analysis provided by the United States Supreme Court in Landgraf v. USI Film Products, 511 U.S. 244, 114 S.Ct. 1483 (1994), pertaining to civil statutes, not only is there no express intent by Congress to apply the new statute to past + +2 In other filed civil actions attempting to assert §2255 claims against EPSTEIN, some plaintiffs also propose that the minimum damage amount is to apply on a per violation basis; the absurdity of such position is further magnified when one considers that the presumptive damages amount was tripled to \$150,000 by the 2006 amendment. Based on some plaintiffs' position, that amount would be multiplied even further based on the number of violations (along with injury) that she could prove. Clearly, the result is an unconstitutional increase in either a penalty or civil liability. + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 16 + +conduct, but also, the clear effect of retroactive application of the statute would be to increase the potential liability for past conduct from a minimum of \$50,000 to \$150,000, and thus in violation of the constitutional prohibitions against such application. As noted, 18 U.S.C. §2255 is entitled "Civil remedy for personal injuries." Notwithstanding this label, the statute was enacted as part of the criminal statutory scheme to punish those who sexually exploit and abuse minors. Regardless of the actual damages suffered or proven by a minor, as long as a minor proves violation of a specified statutory criminal act under §2255 and personal injury, the defendant is held liable for the statutory imposed minimum. + +Although there does not exist any definitive ruling of whether the damages awarded under §2255 are meant as criminal punishment or a civil damages award, Defendant is still entitled to a determination as a matter of law that the statute in effect at the time of the alleged criminal conduct applies. + +As explained by the Landgraf court, supra at 280, and at 1505,3 + +When a case implicates a federal statute enacted after the events in suit, the court's first task is to determine whether Congress has expressly prescribed the statute's proper reach. If Congress has done so, of course, there is no need to resort to judicial default rules. When, however, the statute contains no such express command, the court must determine whether the new statute would have retroactive effect, i.e., whether it would impair rights a party possessed when he acted, increase a party's liability for past conduct, or impose new duties with respect to transactions already completed. If the statute would operate retroactively, our traditional presumption teaches that it does not govern absent clear congressional intent favoring such a result. + +3 In Landgraf, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals and refused to apply new provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to conduct occurring before the effective date of the Act. The Court determined that statutory text in question, §102, was subject to the presumption against statutory retroactivity. + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 17 + +Here, there is no clear expression of intent regarding the 2006 Act's application to conduct occurring well before its enactment. Clearly, however, as discussed in part B herein, the presumptive minimum amount of damages of \$150,000 was enacted as a punishment or penalty upon those who sexually exploit and abuse minors. See discussion of House Bill Reports and Congressional background above herein. The amount triples the previous amount for which a defendant might be found liable, regardless of the amount of actual damages a plaintiff has suffered and proven. The new statute imposes a substantial increase in the monetary liability for past conduct. + +As stated in Landgraf, "the extent of a party's liability, in the civil context as well as the criminal, is an important legal consequence that cannot be ignored." Courts have consistently refused to apply a statute which substantially increases a party's liability to conduct occurring before the statute's enactment. Landgraf, supra at 284-85. Even if plaintiff were to argue that retroactive application of the new statute "would vindicate its purpose more fully," even that consideration is not enough to rebut the presumption against retroactivity. Id, at 285-86. "The presumption against statutory retroactivity is founded upon sound considerations of general policy and practice, and accords with long held and widely shared expectations about the usual operation of legislation." Id. + +Accordingly, as a matter of law, this Court is required to apply the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2004-05) in effect at the time of the alleged conduct by EPSTEIN directed to Plaintiff. + +#### II.

In reality, Count III is an attempt to bring a claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255(a), which creates a civil remedy for violations of certain federal criminal statutes as discussed herein. The undisputed material facts and applicable law show that Plaintiff does not and cannot establish the elements required to prove her §2255 claim. + +As confirmed by Plaintiff in her deposition testimony, the one encounter which is alleged as the basis for her Count III §2255 claim (and the visits to Epstein's home in which she brought other girls) took place sometime during 2004-05. As testified to by JD3, she heard about being able to get \$200 for giving a massage to a man in Palm Beach through conversations with friends. (See Statement of Facts above, 1112, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10). JD3 testified that the only phone calls were between her and Sarah and that the only thing mentioned was the giving of a massage for \$200. There was no discussion of the performance sexual activity or sexual conduct. There was absolutely no communications by phone, intemet, texting or other electronic means between Epstein and JD3.

The referenced statutes are all federal criminal statues contained in Title 18 of the United States Code. In her complaint, Plaintiff partially tracks the language of 18 U.S.C. §2422(b) and cites generally to §2422 in an attempt to assert a claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255. (2d Am Corn, 129, 32-33). None of the State of Florida criminal statutes referenced by Plaintiff are a requisite predicate act required to prove a claim under 18 U.S.C. §2255. (See ¶30-31 of 2d Am Comp.). + +Thus, in order to sustain a cause of action under §2255, Plaintiff is required to prove all the elements of one of the statutory enumerated predicate acts. See Gray v. Darby, 2009 WL 805435 (E.D. Pa. Mar. 25, 2005), requiring evidence to establish predicate act under 18 U.S.C. §2255 to state cause of action. As noted above, Plaintiff is relying on + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 20 + +§2422 of Title 18, and tracks the language of subsection (b) of that statute. There is no evidence whatsoever of EPSTEIN "using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, ... ." + +In order to show a violation of 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), four elements must be proven: (1) use of a facility of interstate commerce; (2) to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or coerce; (3) any individual who is younger than 18; (4) to engage in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempting to do so. U.S. v. 410 F.3d 1235, 1245 (10th Cir. 2005); U.S. v. Munro, 394 F.3d 865, 869 (10th Cir. 2005); U.S. v. Kaye, 451 F.Supp.2d 775, 782-83 (E.D. Va. 2006). The undisputed material facts show that EPSTEIN and JD3 never communicated at any time on any subject via the telephone, intemet, texting, e-mails, or other form of electronic communication. JD3 testified that she found out about getting \$200 for a massage from other girls. The only thing discussed with and JD3 over the phone was the giving of a massage for \$200. No other type of activity or conduct was discussed. There was no communication by any means in which sexual activity or illicit sexual conduct was brought up with Epstein. There is no testimony or complaint allegations that JD3 travelled anywhere with EPSTEIN by car or otherwise. + +Thus, there was no (1) use of a facility of interstate commerce; (2) to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or coerce; (3) any individual who is younger than 18; (4) to engage in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 21 + +offense, or attempting to do so. See for e.g., U.S. v. 506 F.3d 140, 150-51 (2d Cir. 2007). In a defendant was convicted of violating §2422(b) where he initiated contact with girl he believed was a minor in an Internet chat room called "I Love Older Men," repeatedly made sexual advances toward girl and her "friend," asked them for their pictures, steered the conversation toward sexual activities, described the acts that he would engage in with them, tried to set up a meeting with both of them, and appeared for a meeting with condoms and a Viagra pill in his car. Thus, the Circuit court agreed had the requisite intent to violate § 2422(b). The Circuit Court determined that a reasonable juror could also have found that the defendant took a substantial step beyond mere preparation when he arrived at the meeting place with two condoms and a Viagra pill in his car. See also U.S. v. Munro 394 F.3d 865, 870 (10th Cir.2005)(Defendant convicted of attempting to persuade a minor to engage in sexual acts by using computer connected to the intemet, under §2422(b), where chat room communications included defendant asking "girl" about her sexual history, her virginity, her experience wit oral sex, and the possibility of making a movie together; defendant further told "girl" about his desire to perform oral sex on her.); U.S. v. Barlow, 568 F.3d 215 (5th Cir. 2009). See also U.S. v. Kave, 451 F.Supp.2d 775, supra, where defendant engaged in lengthy "chat room" communications of a sexual nature with individual he believed was a 13 year old boy, described what he was going to do with 13 year old, and traveled to the home of the 13 year old. + +Thus, because the evidence (JD3's own sworn testimony) establishes that there was no violation of §2422(b), an essential element of Plaintiff's 18 U.S.0 §2255 claim asserted in Count HI is missing. The claim fails as a matter of law and Defendant is + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 22 + +entitled to the entry of summary judgment on the claim. Summary judgment is proper under Rule 56(c)(2), Fed.R.Civ.P, when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Celotex v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). Pursuant to Rule 56(b), "a party against whom relief is sought may move, with or without supporting affidavits, for summary judgment on all or part of the claim." + +Thus, under the undisputed material facts and applicable law, EPSTEIN is entitled to summary judgment on Count III of Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint as a matter of law. JD3's own testimony establishes that EPSTEIN never used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or coerce her to engage in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempting to do so. 18 U.S.C. §2422(b). Under the undisputed material facts, JD3 cannot show a violation of the enumerated predicate act, §2422(b) on which she relies, in order to prove her claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255; thus, an essential element of her §2255 cannot be established, entitling Defendant to the entry of summary judgment on Count III. + +#### III.

Stat., defining "minor" to include "any person who has not attained the age of 18 years.") + +From 1999 to July 26, 2006, 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) provided: + +Any minor who is a victim of a violation of [certain specified federal statutes] and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any minor as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000 in value. + +It is well settled that in interpreting a statute, the court's inquiry begins with the text and structure of the law. CBS, Inc. v. Prime Time 24 Venture, 245 F.3d 1217, 1222 (11th Cir. 2001) ("We begin our construction of [a statutory provision] where courts should always begin the process of legislative interpretation, and where they often should end it as well, which is with the words of the statutory provision.") (quoting Harris v. Garner, 216 F.3d 970, 972 (11th Cir. 2000) (en bane)) (first alteration omitted). In this case, the plain text of the 2003 statute is both clear and unmistakable. It allowed only minors (or the representative of a then-minor, see Fed R. Civ. P. 17(c)) to initiate suit under § 2255. It provided only that "any minor ... may sue" and that "any minor ... shall recover the actual damages such minor sustains" as a result of the predicate acts. Id. (emphasis added). The law's use of the present tense further underscored its limited scope: It spoke of "any minor who is a victim," provided that "such minor ... shall recover" damages arising from the underlying offense, and stated that "any minor ... shall be deemed" to have sustained at least \$50,000 in damages. Id. (emphasis added). Where the statute's words are unambiguous—as the are here—the "judicial inquiry is + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 24 + +complete." Merritt v. Dillard Paper Co., 120 F.3d 1181, 1186 (11th Cir. 1997) (citation omitted)). Under the pre-July, 2006 version of the statute, only minors could initiate suit. + +The recent case of U.S. v. Baker 2009 WL 4572785, \*7-8 (E.D. Tx Dec. 7, 2009), in discussing the restitution under 18 U.S.C. §2255 noted that when the statute was amended in 2006 — "Masha's Law increased the minimum damages amount from \$50,000 to \$150,000 and broadened the language of section 2255 to allow adults to recover for damages sustained while they were a minor." The plain reading of the statute makes clear that prior to the 2006 amendment, the remedy was created for the benefit of minors who suffered sexual exploitation as a result of violation of a statutorily enumerated criminal act(s). + +To the extent there is any ambiguity in the text—and there is none—the law's legislative history further underscores Congress's intent to limit the right of action to minors: "Current law provides for a civil remedy for personal injuries resulting from child pornography offenses. This section expands the number of sex offenses in which a minor may pursue a civil remedy for personal injuries resulting from the offense." H.R. Rep. 105-557, at 23 (1998), as reprinted in 1998 U.S.C.C.A.N. 678, 692. And perhaps most telling, Congress amended § 2255 in 2006—three years after the alleged misconduct in this case supposedly took place—to make the civil action available to persons who had turned 18 by the time they filed suit: + +(a) In general.—Any person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section 2241(c), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such violation, regardless of whether the injury occurred while such person was a minor, may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any person + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 25 + +as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$150,000 in value. + +18 U.S.C. § 2255 (2006) (emphasis added). + +The contrast between the prior and 2006 versions of § 2255 is stark. The 2006 law replaces each of the prior law's uses of the term "minor" with the term "person." Where the 2006 law does refer to a "minor," it changes the prior law's present-tense references ("is") to past-tense references ("was"). And the 2006 law's new language now makes clear that, unlike the prior statute, those victimized while under the age of 18 may sue after they turn 18. Given that amendments must be interpreted "to have real and substantial effect," v. I.N.S., 514 U.S. 386, 397 (1995), there can be no doubt that Congress recognized the prior statute's strict limitations and for the first time expanded the right of action to adults. + +Indeed, the history of the 2006 amendments clearly shows that Congress intended to change the law, not merely to clarify it. Those amendments were made by § 707 of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, Pub. L. No. 109-248, 120 Stat. 587, 650 (2006), and are known as "Masha's Law." As Senator Kerry—the author of Masha's Law—explained: + +What Masha's law does, and what is incorporated in here, is it changes "any minor" to "any person," so that if a minor is depicted in photographs pornographically that are distributed over the Internet, but by the time the abuser is caught, the minor is an adult, they can still recover. They cannot now, and that is ridiculous. It makes sure that recovery on the part of a minor can take place when they become an adult.... + +Although I don't think there is any price too high to cost an individual who would take advantage of a minor, I think it is only appropriate to ... make sure that reaching the age of adulthood does not exempt someone from recovery. It is a tribute to continuing to do what this bill does, and + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 26 + +that is look after the protection of minors and ensure that those who violate them are caught and punished and have to pay to the maximum extent. + +152 Cong. Rec. 58012-02 at 58016 (July 20, 2006) (statement of Sen. Kerry) (emphasis added). Courts typically give special weight to the statements of a bill's sponsor, Corley v. U.S., 129 S.Ct. 1558, 1569 (Apr. 6, 2009) ("[A] sponsor's statement to the full Senate carries considerable weight.").4 There is no basis to depart from that rule here. + +It thus is no answer that the pre-amended statute's limitations clause provided that "in the case of a person under a legal disability, [the complaint may be filed] not later than three years after the disability," 18 U.S.C. § 2255(b) (2003), such that the unamended version of the law implicitly must have permitted victims to sue even after they turned 18. That interpretation not only would render Masha's Law superfluous; it would make Masha's Law's internally redundant, because Masha's Law retained the "legal disability" language from the prior version of § 2255(b). See 18 U.S.C. § 2255(b) (2006). In short, the retained "legal disability" language in § 2255(b) of the 2006 statute would be entirely redundant were it construed to do implicitly what the law elsewhere did expressly. In these circumstances, the traditional rules against surplusage and redundancy apply with double force. See, e.g., Duncan v. =, 533 U.S. 167, 174 + +4Similarly, the official summary prepared by the Congressional Research Service ("CRS") explained that Masha's Law "[r]evises provisions allowing victims of certain sex-related crimes to seek civil remedies to: (I) allow adults as well as minors to sue for injuries; and (2) increase from \$50,000 to SI 50,000 the minimum level of damages." Official Summary of Pub. Law No. 109-248 (July 27, 2006), as reprinted at http://thomas.Ioc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?dI 09:HR04472: ®®@L&summ2=m& (emphasis added) (last visited May 10, 2009). Courts have long consulted official CRS summaries to assess legislative intent, see, e.g., Rettig v. Pension Ben. Guar. Corp. 744 F.2d 133, 145 & n.7 (D.C. Ur. 1984); DIRECTV Inc. v. Cianarella, No. Civ.A 03-2384, 2005 WL 1252261 at \*7 (D.N.J. May 24, 2005); Clohessy v. St. Francis Hosp. & Healthcare No. 98-C-4818, 1999 WL 46898 \*2-.3 (N.D. 111. Jan. 28, 1999), and there is good reason to do so. By design, CRS summaries are intended to "objectively describe[] the measure's ... effect upon ... current law" so that Congress can make informed judgments about the impact of proposed bills. See The Library of Congress, About CRS Summary, available at (last visited May 10, 2009). + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 27 + +(2001). The "legal disability" language in § 2255(b) should be interpreted to reference classic legal disabilities like insanity, mental disability, or imprisonment—not age. + +Indeed, that is precisely how Congress typically uses the term "legal disability": most federal statutes that use the term make clear that it doesn't include age. See, e.g., 25 U.S.C. § 590c ("A share or interest payable to enrollees less than eighteen years of age or under legal disability shall be paid ....") (emphasis added); id. § 783 ("Funds payable under sections 781 to 785 of this title to minors or to persons under legal disability shall be paid....") (emphasis added); Id. § 1128 ("Sums payable to enrollees ... who are less than eighteen years of age or who are under a legal disability shall be paid....") (emphasis added); id. § 1253 ("Sums payable ... to enrollees ... who are less than eighteen years of age or who are under a legal disability shall be paid....") (emphasis added); id. § 1273 (same); id. § 1283 (same); id. § 1295 (same); id. § 1300a-3 (same); id. § 1300c-3 (same); id. § 1300d-7 (same); see also 38 U.S.C. § 3501. + +Needless to say, Congress would not have had to address age expressly in any of these statutes if the term "legal disability" necessarily included one's status as a minor; instead, Congress's mere use of the term "legal disability" already would account for a would-be plaintiff's minority status. Given the rule "against reading a text in a way that makes part of it redundant," Nat'l Ass'n of Home Builders v. Defenders of Wildlife, 551 U.S. 644 (2007) (citing TRW Inc. v. Andrews, 534 U.S. 19, 31 (2001)), and the canon that "where words are employed in a statute which had at the time a well-known meaning ... in the law of this country, they are presumed to have been used in that sense," Standard Oil Co. v. United States, 221 U.S. 1, 59 (1911), § 2255's reference to "legal disability" can only be interpreted as a reference to classic disabilities like insanity or + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 28 + +mental incapacity, but not age. + +Accordingly, Defendant is entitled to summary judgment determining that the applicable version of §2255 allows for a minor to pursue the remedy thereunder. JD3 was 20 years old at the time she instituted this action, no longer a minor. + +#### Conclusion + +Thus, under the undisputed material facts and applicable law, Defendant is entitled to the entry of summary judgment determining that (1) the version of 18 U.S.C. §2255, effective 1999 to Jul. 26, 2006, the period of time during which EPSTEIN's alleged conduct occurred, applies to Plaintiff's claim brought pursuant to §2255; (2) JD3's own testimony establishes that EPSTEIN never used a facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly persuade, induce, entice, or coerce her to engage in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempting to do so. 18 U.S.C. §2422(b). Her testimony and the allegations of the complaint also show that EPSTEIN never traveled interstate with the specific intent of engaging in sexual activity with her. 18 U.S.C. 2423(b) and (e). Under the undisputed material facts, JD3 cannot show a violation of the enumerated predicate acts on which she relies, in order to prove her claim pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255; thus, an essential element of her §2255 cannot be established, entitling Defendant to the entry of summary judgment on Count III; and (3) the version of 18 U.S.C. § 2255 in effect when the predicate acts allegedly were committed allow only "minors" to file suit; + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court enter the summary judgments sought herein. Defendant further requests an award of his attorney's fees and costs in defending this claim. + +Case No. 08-CV-80232-Marra-M + +Page 29 + +By: Is/ Robert D. Critton, Jr. ROBERT D. CIUTTON, JR., ESQ.

PLAINTIFFS JANE DOES 2-8' MEMORANDUM IN RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S RULE 4 APPEAL + +Plaintiffs, Jane Does 2-8 ("Plaintiffs"), by and through undersigned counsel, file this Memorandum in Response to Defendant's Rule 4 Appeal of the Magistrate Judge's Orders (DE 480 and DE 513) directing Defendant to produce his income tax returns, as follows: + +# Introduction + +Defendant appeals the Magistrate Judge's Orders (DE 480 and DE 513) compelling Defendant to produce income tax returns and related forms and schedules. He fails, however, to demonstrate that the Magistrate Judge's decision as to tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. The applicable case law establishes that the tax returns are not protected from discovery by the Fifth Amendment privilege under the act of production doctrine, or alternatively, that they fall within the "required records" exception to the Fifth Amendment privilege. + +The tax returns are indisputably relevant in these cases, particularly as to Plaintiffs claims for punitive damages, and given the Defendant's invocation of the Fifth Amendment in + +blanket fashion to all requests for net worth discovery, there is a compelling need for this discovery. Even if Plaintiffs could not demonstrate a compelling need for the tax returns in discovery, under applicable Eleventh Circuit precedent and reported cases in this District, Plaintiffs would be entitled to this discovery under the broad relevance standard of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b). Finally, there is no basis to delay this discovery, as the tax returns are relevant to punitive damages, which is an important, current issue in these cases. For the reasons set forth herein, Plaintiff's request that the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to Defendant's tax returns be affirmed and that Defendant be ordered to produce the tax return discovery requested by Plaintiffs. + +## Amount + +## I. DEFENDANT HAS BURDEN TO SHOW THAT MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S ORDER IS CLEARLY ERRONEOUS OR CONTRARY TO LAW + +In seeking reversal of the Magistrate Judge's Order as to discovery of tax returns, it is the Defendant's burden to show that the order is "clearly erroneous or contrary to law". 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1). Absent such a showing, the Magistrate Judge's decision "shall not be disturbed." Emmisive Energy Corp. v. Novatac, Inc., 2009 WL 2834841 •1 (S.D. Fla. 2009). In the instant appeal, Defendant has not shown that the Magistrate Judge's Order to produce tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. + +## II. THE ACT OF PRODUCTION OF TAX RETURNS IS NOT PROTECTED BY THE FIFTH AMENDMENT PRIVILEGE + +The Plaintiffs served the following document request in discovery, to which Defendant asserted the Fifth Amendment privilege: + +Request No. 1: All Federal and State income tax returns, including all W-2 forms, 1099 forms and schedules, for tax years 2003-2008. + +The Magistrate Judge rejected the Defendant's privilege assertion as to tax returns. (De 480, pp. 8-9). In so holding, the Magistrate Judge applied the act of production doctrine set forth in + +Fisher v. United States 425 U.S. 391, 410 (1976) and United States v. Hubbell, 530 U.S. 27, 35- 36 (2000). As noted by the Magistrate Judge, "Defendant cannot reasonably and in good faith argue that in producing these documents to Plaintiff he will somehow be incriminating himself." (Order, p. 9). Yet, Defendant argues just that. In Hubbell the Supreme Court made express reference to tax returns in discussing documents that cannot be protected by the Fifth Amendment privilege under the act of production doctrine: + +> [T]he fact that incriminating evidence may be the byproduct of obedience to a regulatory requirement, such as filing an income tax return, maintaining required records, or reporting an accident, does not clothe such required conduct with the testimonial privilege. + +120 U.S. at 2043, 530 U.S. at 35 (footnotes omitted) (emphasis supplied). Accord United States v. Hammes 3 F.3d 1081, 1083 (7th Cir. 1993) ("[w]e reject [defendant's] compulsory selfincrimination claim because the government may use voluntarily filed tax returns against a defendant without violating the Fifth Amendment"). See also Garner v. United States, 96 S.Ct. 1178, 424 U.S. 648 (1976) (holding that disclosures in tax returns are not compelled incriminations and may be used as evidence in criminal prosecution); Ebay, Inc. v. Digital Point Solutions. Inc. 2010 WL 147967 \*8 (N.D. Cal. 2010) (holding that a person cannot incriminate himself by turning over a document already in the government's possession); Federal Savings and Loan Ins. Corp. v. Hardee, 686 F. Supp 885 (N.D. Fla. 1988) (holding that personal income tax returns and supporting schedules are not protected by the "act of production" doctrine under Fisher). + +As an alternative to finding that the Fifth Amendment privilege does not apply because the act of producing documents is not testimonial and communicative, courts have invoked the "required records" exception to the act of production doctrine. See Federal Saving & Loan Ins. Corp. v. Rodrigues 717 F. Supp. 1424, 1427 (N.D. Cal 1988) ("required records" exception is a distinct basis to deny Fifth Amendment privilege alternative to the "foregone conclusion" rationale under Fisher). The "required records" exception defeats the Fifth Amendment privilege where: "(1) because of the public aspect of the required records the individual admits little of significance by their production; and (2) by doing business in an area where the government requires record keeping, an individual may be deemed to have waived the Fifth Amendment privilege as to the production of those records." In re Grand Jury Subpoena 21 F.3d 226, 229 (8th Cir. 1994). + +Defendant contends that the "required records" exception does not apply to tax returns because they cannot be accessed by the public. This is wrong, however, as the "required records" exception requires only that there be "public aspects" to the documents at issue. Id. Numerous courts that have addressed this precise issue have found that tax returns have "public aspects". See Rodrigues, 717 F. Supp. at 1426-27 (citing cases); accord Doe v. United States, 711 F.2d 1187, 1191 (2d Cir. 1983).1 Accordingly, the "required records" exception applies to the production of tax returns. In Rodrigues, the Court denied the Fifth Amendment privilege for the act of producing tax returns under the "required records" exception, noting that "records filed with a public body pursuant to a valid regulatory scheme have been held to have public aspects." Id. at 1427. Accordingly, the fact that federal tax returns cannot be accessed by the general public does not aid the Defendant. Accord Resolution Trust Corp. v. =, 794 F. Supp. 1, 3 (D.D.C. 1992). + +Thus, there are two alternative grounds for holding that Defendant's assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege to production of tax returns is invalid: (1) the tax returns are in the + +' Defendant further appears to argue that the "required records" exception should be limited to "highly regulated business (e.g., physicians)", citing In re Dr. John Doe 97 F.R.D. 640, 641-643 (S.D.N.Y. 1982). In Dr. John Doe, however, the Court held contrary to Defendant's assertion and consistent with the case law cited herein stating, "[w]e agree that some of these records (e.g. W-2 and other tax forms) may indeed fall within the required records exception." Id. at 644 (ordering that Dr. Doe comply with subpoena for W-2 forms). + +possession of the government, their existence is a foregone conclusion, and there is no risk of "implicit authentication" by Defendant's production of these documents; or (2) tax returns fall within the "required records" exception to the act of production doctrine, and are thus not protected by the Fifth Amendment. Under either of these grounds, the Defendant's tax returns are not privileged and must be produced in discovery. + +## H. THERE IS NO HEIGHTENED BURDEN FOR DISCOVERY OF TAX RETURNS + +Defendant asserts that there is a heightened burden on a party seeking discovery of tax returns, requiring that party to show not only relevance, but also that "a compelling need for the tax returns exists because the information contained therein is not otherwise available." (Appeal, p. 24). However, in the Eleventh Circuit this heightened burden has been rejected. "[T]he Eleventh Circuit does not require a showing of compelling need before tax information may be obtained by a party in discovery." Bellosa v. Universal Tile Restoration, Inc., 2008 WL 2620735 (S.D. Fla. 2008) (citing Maddow v. Procter & Gamble Co. 107 F.3d 846 (11th Cir. 1997)); accord U.S. v. Certain Real Property 444 F.Supp. 2d 1258 (S.D.Fla. 2006)• Platypus Wear. Inc. v. Clarke Modet & Co., 2008 W.L. 728540 (S.D. Ha. 2008); Preferred Care Partners Holding Corp. v. Humana. Inc. 2008 WL 4500258 (S.D. Ha. 2008); Ruskin Co. v. Greenheck Fan Corp. 2009 WL 383349 (S.D. Fla. 2009). Significantly, in both Preferred Care and Ruskin the Court affirmed the decision of a Magistrate Judge rejecting a higher standard for production of tax returns, holding that, despite an arguable split of authority, 2the Magistrate Judge's decision was not "contrary to law." Id. Likewise, the Magistrate Judge's decision in this case compelling + +Defendant relies upon Pendlebury v. Starbucks Coffee Co., 2008 WL 2105024 (S.D. Fla. 2005) and Dunkin Donuts, Inc. v. Mary's Donuts, Inc. 2001 WL 34079319 (S.D. Fla. 2001), in which the Court applied the higher standard. These cases do not consider the Eleventh Circuit's opinion in Maddow and the federal judges in this District over the past five years since Pendlebury have consistently rejected the "compelling need" standard for production of tax returns. See cases cited above. + +production of tax returns is consistent with authority in this District and the Eleventh Circuit, and thus should be affirmed. + +#### III. EVIDENCE OF DEFENDANT'S FINANCIAL STATUS AND HISTORY IS RELEVANT TO PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AMONG OTHER ISSUES + +Defendant does not go so far as to contend that the discovery of his tax returns is not relevant under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26. Defendant only argues that the Magistrate Judge did not address the relevancy standard in her Order. (Appeal, p. 25). As a result, Defendant does nothing to show that the Magistrate Judge's Order as to tax returns is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. In any event, it is abundantly clear that Defendant's financial status and history are relevant to punitive damages, among other issues in these cases, and in this regard the Defendant's tax returns are pertinent and discoverable. Tennant v. Charlton 377 So.2d 1169 (Ha. 1979) (holding that party may obtain tax returns for purposes of net worth discovery on issue of punitive damages). See also State v. O'Malley, 53 S.W. 3d 623 (Mo. App. 2001) ("[i]t is well settled that when a plaintiff seeks punitive damages against a defendant, evidence of the defendant's financial status is both relevant and admissible"); Interstate Narrow Fabrics, Inc. v. Century USA. Inc 2004 WL 444570 (M.D. N.C. 2004) (holding that tax returns are relevant to the jury's determination of the amount of punitive damages to award); E.J. Lavino & Co. v. Universal Health Services, Inc., 1991 WL 275767 (ED. Pa. 1991) ("[m]ost courts that have considered this issue have held that a plaintiff seeking punitive damages may discovery information pertaining to a defendant's net worth"). + +Defendant further argues that he should not have to produce his tax returns until "it becomes apparent" that "punitive damages will be an issue." (Appeal, p. 26). This argument ignores Florida law on punitive damages. It is well established that "punitive damages are always recoverable in intentional tort cases where malice is one of the essential elements of the + +tort." Ciamar Marcay. Inc. v. Monteiro Da Costa 508 So.2d 1282 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987) (emphasis supplied). "In Florida it is clear that an act of intentional assault and battery committed without legal justification supplies proof of malice." Joab, Inc. v. Thrall, 245 So.2d 291 (Ha. 3d DCA 1971). Therefore, it is clear in this intentional tort case that punitive damages are an issue. As this Court knows, Defendant Epstein is alleged to have perpetrated a plan and scheme to sexually molest dozens of underage teenage girls.; + +Even assuming that the "compelling need" standard were applicable for discovery of tax returns, clearly in this case there is a compelling need. Defendant has provided no net worth discovery, asserting a blanket Fifth Amendment privilege.4Defendant nonetheless contends that there exists an "alternative" - not to discovery of the necessary information, but through his offer to "stipulate" to a net worth in the nine figures. Of course, a stipulation requires the consent of the parties and there is no agreement in this case on the Defendant's net worth. Defendant cannot unilaterally by fiat claim a certain net worth for purposes of trial? The law is well established that a jury may determine punitive damages "by exacting from [the defendant's] pocketbook a sum of money which, according to his financial ability, will hurt, but not + +3Defendant's reliance on Gallina v. Commerce and Industry Ins. 2008 WL 3895918 (M.D. Ha. 2008) is misplaced. Gallina is an insurance bad faith case and does not involve a claim of punitive damages against an intentional tortfeasor. Moreover, in the present case it would make no sense to have a different "stage" for punitive damages discovery or trial. + +4 "[T]he burden to identify an alternative source of the information lies with the resisting party." Interstate Narrow Fabrics, 2004 WL 444570 at \*2. Here, Epstein's blanket Fifth Amendment privilege assertion to all net worth discovery makes it clear that there is a compelling need for any net worth discovery not protected by the Fifth Amendment privilege. + +3 Defendant relies upon Myers v. Central Florida Investment, Inc., 592 F.3d 1201 (11th Cir. 2010) for its "stipulation" argument. In Myers, however, the district court heard testimony regarding each of the defendant's net worth. There was no unilateral statement of net worth in Myers as Defendant wishes to create in the instant case. To the extent that Defendant relies upon the Court's holding in Myers regarding the reasonableness of the trial court's award of punitive damages, the issue of reasonableness is determined by the particular facts and circumstances of the case and the discussion in Myers of this issue has no relevance here. Id. + +bankrupt." Joab, Inc. v. Thrall 245 So.2d 291 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971) (emphasis supplied). Plaintiffs are therefore entitled to discovery on the Defendant's real net worth so that the jury will be in a position to make an award that "will hurt". In any event, it seems beyond dispute that Defendant's tax returns are relevant and discoverable, either under a straight relevance test under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 or a heightened "compelling need" standard. + +# Conclusion + +Based on the foregoing, the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to Defendant's production of tax returns in response to Plaintiffs' document request no. 1 are not clearly erroneous and not contrary to law. As a result, the Magistrate Judge's Orders as to production of tax returns should be affirmed. Plaintiffs respectfully request that the documents responsive to Plaintiffs' document request no. 1 be ordered to be produced forthwith. + +Dated: May 28, 2010.

In support, Defendant states as follows: + +1. As this Court is well aware, these cases have been consolidated for discovery. However, on April 1, 2010, Plaintiff's counsel, Spencer Kuvin, filed C.L. v. Epstein, Case No. 10-80447-cv-Marra\_, and that case has not been consolidated with the other related cases for purposes of discovery. + +2. On April 20, 2010, Mr. Kuvin served Maritza Milagros Vasquez with a subpoena for deposition, which is set to occur tomorrow. See Exhibit "A". However, this Notice and subpoena for deposition must be stricken/quashed as Mr. Kuvin, on behalf of his client, has failed to comply with Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 (d). That rule states, in pertinent part, that: "[a] party may not seek discovery from any source before the parties have conferred as required by Rule 26(0. . . ." Mr. Kuvin, on behalf of his client, has not complied with Rule 26(0 and, therefore, the subpoena for deposition must be stricken/quashed and a Protective Order should be entered pursuant to Rule 26(c) forbidding the deposition from occurring for non-compliance with the applicable rules. In Varo, Inc. v. Litton Systems, Inc., 129 F.R.D. 139, 141 (N.D. TX 1989), the court held that one cannot be compelled to comply with awithdrawn subpoena. Id. Likewise, the court here cannot compel Maritza Milagros Vasquez to attend any deposition when the subpoena itself is invalid, especially when it will require those involved in these matters to incur substantial attorneys' fees. + +3. Next, Mr. Brad , counsel for Jane Doe, cross-noticed Maritza Milagros Vasquez's deposition in Jane Doe (#08-80893 - Exhibit "B"), which matter is already set for trial in July 2010. Discovery concluded on May 31, 2010 see DE 531). Accordingly, the cross notice served by Jane Doe must be stricken/quashed and a protective order entered because the subpoena itself in invalid due to C.L.'s counsel's failure to comply with Rule 26(d) and discovery in Jane Doe (80893) has concluded. + +#### Rule 7.1 Certification + +Ihereby certify that counsel for the respective parties communicated by e-mail in a good faith effort to resolve the issues set forth above prior to the filing of this Motion and none of the issues were resolved. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court enter an order granting Defendant's motion for protective order and motion to quash. Defendant further requests that this Court award his attorney's fees and costs associated with this motion, in accordance with Rule 37, Fed.R.Civ.P. and applicable Local Rules and specifically: + +- a.
