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 Plaintiff's 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 "tall" 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 is Court deems just and proper. + +B + +MICHAEL J.

Gen. Rule 7.1. C. 2. (S.D. Fla.), in his memorandum of law in support of his motion to dismiss directed to Plaintiff JANE DOE II's Complaint [DE 1], filed March 25, 2009. In support of his motion, Defendant states: + +1. Local Gen. Rule 7.1 C. 2. provides in part that absent prior permission of the court, no party shall file any legal memorandum exceeding 20 pages in length. Defendant is in the process of preparing his motion to dismiss and supporting memorandum of law directed to Plaintiffs Complaint, (which is due by an extension to May 6, 2009), and the legal memorandum will exceed the 20 page limitation. It is clear based on the issues raised in Plaintiff's Complaint that in excess of 20 pages is required to fully and adequately discuss the issues raised in moving to dismiss Plaintiffs action. + +2. The issues being addressed include but are not limited to constitutional law issues and what version of 18 U.S.C.A. §2255 applies to this action, and the meaning of §2255 with respect to the cause of action created and the presumptive minimum Jane Doe II v. Epstein. et al. Page 2 + +damages amount imposed. (It is Defendant's position that the 2006 amended version does NOT apply to this action; rather, it is the statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct that apply). + +3. Plaintiffs Complaint seeks to multiple the presumptive minimum damages amount under 18 U.S.C. §2255 and references the 2006 amended version of the statute, which most significantly increased triple-fold the presumptive minimum damages amount imposed from \$50,000 to \$150,000. + +4. A length exceeding 20 pages is required so that Defendant may fully address the issues raised in Plaintiffs Complaint and in seeking dismissal thereof. Under the constitutional guarantees of due process, including a fair and full opportunity to be heard, and in the interests of justice so that the Court may render a fully informed decision on the issue, Defendant is entitled to an order granting his motion to exceed the page limitation. (Excluding endnotes, quoting statutory text and Complaint allegations, it appears that Defendant's legal memorandum will be approximately 24 to 28 pages.) + +5. As certified below herein, Plaintiffs counsel agreed to the request to exceed 20 pages. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court grant Defendant's motion, and enter an order allowing Defendant's legal memorandum in support of dismissal of Plaintiff's action to be in excess of 20 pages. + +Jane Doe II v.

Jeffrey Epstein, and l, based on the same factual allegations that she asserts in the instant case. Attached here to as Exhibit A is Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint filed in the state action. A comparison of the complaint allegations of fact in the state and + +federal actions reveals that they are almost identical. Based on the same allegations, in the state action, Plaintiff attempts to assert claims based on state law for Sexual Battery (Count I) and Civil Conspiracy (Count II); in this action, Plaintiff is attempting to assert a cause of action pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, which applicable version provides — + +#### PART I--CRIMES + +### CHAPTER 110--SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND OTHER ABUSE OF CHILDREN § 2255.

However, unlike other Congressional enactments, there is no language in the statute which expressly states that jurisdiction of such cause of action lies exclusively with the federal courts. Furthermore, there is a presumption of concurrent jurisdiction of state courts. See generally, Yellow Freight System, Inc. v. Donnelly, 494 U.S. 820, 823, 110 S.Ct. 1566, 1568-69 (1990). "Under our 'system of dual sovereignty, we have consistently held that state courts have inherent authority, and are thus + +presumptively competent to adjudicate claims arising under the laws of the United States.'" Id, and cases cited therein. Significantly, in order to give federal courts exclusive jurisdiction over a federal cause of action, Congress must, in an exercise of its powers under the Supremacy Clause, affirmatively divest state courts of their presumptively concurrent jurisdiction. Id. + +§2255, unlike other federal statutes, does not unequivocally state that the jurisdiction of the federal court is exclusive or that it takes away the presumptive jurisdiction of the state courts. See e.g., 28 U.S.C. §1338(a)("...Such jurisdiction shall be exclusive of the courts of the states in patent, plant variety protection and copyright cases.") As phrased, the statute uses the term "may" which under a plain meaning analysis is permissive as opposed to mandatory. The omission of any such exclusive jurisdictional provision is strong evidence of Congress' intent. Yellow Freight, supra. The fact that the statute is completely silent on the role of the state courts in such a cause of action still does not overcome the presumption of concurrent jurisdiction. Id.' + +Because concurrent jurisdiction exists over this federal claim, the six factor analysis as discussed in American Bankers Ins. Co. v. First State Ins. Co., 891F.2d 882, 884 (1191 Cir. 1990), applies in determining whether the exceptional circumstances exist requiring dismissal of the federal action in favor of the first filed action. As explained in by the Eleventh Circuit in American Bankers Ins. Co., because EPSTEIN is seeking dismissal of this action in deference to a pending state court action, "it is governed by + +' See 45 U.S.C. §56, pertaining to liability for injuries to railroad employees, as an example of a federal statute which expressly states that "jurisdiction of the courts of the United States under this chapter shall be concurrent with that of the courts of the several states." + +the principles articulated in Colorado River Water Conserv. Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 96 S.Ct. 1236, 47 L.Ed.2d 483 (1976) and Moses H. Cone Memorial Hosp. v. Mercury Constr., 460U.S. 1, 103 S.Ct. 927, 74 L.Ed.2d 765 (1983)." + +The six factors considered are (1) whether one of the courts has assumed jurisdiction over property; (2) the inconvenience of the federal forum; (3) the potential for piecemeal litigation; (4) the order in which the forums obtained jurisdiction; (5) whether state or federal law will be applied; and (6) the adequacy of the state court to protect the parties' rights. "The test for determining when exceptional circumstances exist, therefore, involves the careful balancing of six factors. The weight to be given any one factor may vary greatly depending on the case; however, the balance is "heavily weighted" in favor of the federal court exercising jurisdiction. Id. at 16, 103 S.Ct. at 937." American Bankers Ins. Co. of Florida v. First State Ins. Co., 891F.2d 882, 884 (11th Cir. 1990). The list of factors is neither exhaustive, nor is it a mechanical checklist. See AM.JUR. FED. COURTS, § 1114. + +In the instant case, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth factors are implicated. Clearly, more than a "potential" for piecemeal litigation exists if Plaintiff were allowed to proceed in two separate forums alleging the identical facts against the identical parties. Discovery and rulings thereon would involve the same set of facts, yet could result in inconsistent and varying rulings thereon. Should the cases proceed separately to trial, factual findings and judgments rendered in one could be inconsistent with the other. Appeals would proceed separately and in apiecemeal fashion. The piecemeal effect would be both excessive and deleterious if these cases were to proceed in parallel + +fashion. The state court obtained jurisdiction over the action first as Plaintiff chose to first file in state court. See Exhibit A hereto. Defendant has already filed his answer and affirmative defenses and discovery is ongoing in the state action. As to the fifth factor, state law will be applied to Plaintiffs attempted state law claims for sexual battery and conspiracy, while federal substantive law will apply to the 18 U.S.C. §2255 claim. Finally, the state court is perfectly capable and able to protect the rights of the parties. In fact, there are currently before the 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, Florida, additional cases against EPSTEIN based on similar allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse. In the Jane Doe II state action, an Order was entered reassigning the state action to a Division in which other Jane Doe cases against EPSTEIN had been filed. See "Clerk's Notice Of Reassignment," dated April 10, 2009, and attached hereto as Exhibit B. The state court is well aware of the underlying factual allegations which are identical in both cases and which form the basis of the state and federal' claims which Plaintiff is attempting to pursue. + +Accordingly, in balancing these factors, Defendant is entitled to dismissal of the federal court action. Plaintiff should not be allowed to pursue parallel actions in state and federal court based o the identical underlying factual allegations. Her claims should be brought in one forum — state court - so that Defendant is not forced to defend himself in two separate forums. + +# II. 18 U.S.C. 42255 in effect prior to the 2006 amendments applies to this action. + +A. The statute in effect during the time the alleged conduct occurred is 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005) - the version in effect prior to the 2006 amendment, eff. Jul. 27, 2006, + +(quoted above). See endnote 1 hereto, Complaint ¶¶11, 13.1 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. See, e.g., *United States v. ██████████*, 381 U.S. 437, 456-462, 85 S.Ct. 1707, 1719-1722, 14 L.Ed.2d 484 (1965). 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. Turner Elkhorn Mining Co.*, 428 U.S. 1, 17, 96 S.Ct. 2882, 2893, 49 L.Ed.2d 752 (1976). + +FN19. Article I contains two *Ex Post Facto* Clauses, one directed to Congress (§ 9, cl. 3), the other to the States (§ 10, cl. 1). We have construed the Clauses as applicable only to penal legislation. See *Calder v. Bull*, 3 Dall. 386, 390-391, 1 L.Ed. 648 (1798) (opinion of Chase, J.). + +> These provisions demonstrate that retroactive statutes raise particular concerns. The Legislature's unmatched powers allow it to sweep away settled expectations suddenly and without individualized consideration. Its responsivity to political pressures poses a risk that it may be tempted to use retroactive legislation as a means of retribution against unpopular groups or individuals. As Justice Marshall observed in his opinion for "1498 the Court in Weaver v. Graham, 450 U.S. 24, 101 S.Ct. 960, 67 L.Ed.2d 17 (1981), the Ex Post Facto Clause not only ensures that individuals have "fair warning" about the effect of criminal statutes, but also "restricts governmental power by restraining arbitrary and potentially vindictive legislation." td., at 28-29, 101 S.Ct., at 963-964 (citations omitted).

The constitutional prohibitions against the enactment of ex post facto laws and bills of attainder reflect a valid concern about the use of the political process to punish or characterize past conduct of private citizens.

Not only is there no clear express intent stating that the statute is to apply retroactively, but applying the current version of the statute, as amended in 2006, would be in clear violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution as it would be applied to events occurring before its enactment and would increase the penalty or punishment for the alleged crime. U.S. Const. Art. 1, §9, cl. 3, §10, cl. 1. U.S. v. Seigel 153F.3d 1256 (11th Cir. 1998); U.S. v. , 162 F.3d 87 (3d Cir. + +1998); and generally, Calder v.

Siectel,153 F.3d 1256, 1259 (11th Cir. 1998). + +In improperly attempting to multiply the presumptive minimum actual damages amount, Plaintiffs Complaint alleges atime period "from about June, 2003 until on or about February, 2005." See endnote 1. In paragraph 14 of her Complaint, Plaintiff references the 2006 amended version of §2255 which raised the presumptive actual damages amount from \$50,000 to \$150,000; Plaintiff also improperly claims that she is entitled to "\$150,000 for each violation, for a total range of damages between \$1.5 million dollars to \$4.5 million dollars, jointly and severally, ... ." ¶14. + +§2255 is contained in Title 18 of the United States Codes - "Crimes and Criminal Procedure, Part I. Crimes, Chap. 110. Sexual Exploitation and Other Abuse of Children." 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005), is entitled Civil remedy for personal injuries, and imposes a presumptive minimum of damages in the amount of \$50,000, should Plaintiff prove any violation of the specified criminal statutes and that she suffered personal injury with actual damages sustained. Thus, the effect of the 2006 amendments, effective July 27, 2006, would be to triple the amount of the statutory minimum previously in effect during the time of the alleged acts. If one were to take Plaintiff's + +position, and multiply the increased damages amount on a per violation/incident basis, the result would be an increase in damages by 30 to 90 times more! Clearly, the result is punitive in nature. + +No case has yet decided the specific issue before this Court — whether application of the 2006 version of §2255, which increased the statutorily presumed minimum damages from \$50,000 to \$150,000, regardless of the actual amount of damages sustained, is prohibited from application under the Ex Post Fact Clause to the specified criminal acts occurring prior to the statutes effective date of July 27, 2006. The statute, as amended in 2006, contains no language stating that the application is to be retroactive. Thus, there is no manifest intent that the statute is to apply retroactively, and, accordingly, the statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct is to apply. Landciraf v. USI Film Products supra, at 1493, ("A statement that a statute will become effective on a certain date does not even arguably suggest that it has any application to conduct that occurred at an earlier date."). + +This statute was enacted as part of the Federal Criminal Statutes targeting sexual predators and sex crimes against children. H.R. 3494, "Child Protection and Sexual Predator Punishment Act of 1998;" House Report No. 105-557, 11, 1998 U.S.C.A.N. 678, 679 (1998). 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 II — 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. i 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)(1)(A), (conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, and laundering of money instruments; and money laundering). He was sentenced on March 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 + +Page 12 + +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 I, §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 apunishment, the Court noted that §3663A(a)(1) of Title 18 expressly describes restitution as a"penalty? In addition, the Court also noted that "[ajlthough 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. Twittv 107F.3d 1482, 1493n. 12 (11th 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.2 "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 (3rd Circuit 1998). + +In the instant case, in answering the first question, it is clear that that imposition of aminimum amount of damages, regardless of the amount of actual damages suffered by aminor 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 28Cal.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 amount of the presumptive minimum damages to a minor who proves 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, 209F.3d 1286, 1289-90 (11th Cir. 2000). + +Jane Doe II v. Epstein, et at + +Page 14 + +elements of her §2255 claim, or to increase to it 30 to 90 times more if one were to agree with Plaintiff's position. 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 (or increasing by 30 or 90 times under Plaintiffs interpretation) the presumptive minimum of damages available to a plaintiff, regardless of the actual damages suffered. + +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 aretroactive application of the 2006 amended version. Even under the analysis provided by the United States Supreme Court in Landqraf v. USI Film Products, 511U.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 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. + +As explained by the Landoraf 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 govem absent clear congressional intent favoring such a result. + +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 an 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 + +3 In Landqraf, 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. + +statute imposes a substantial increase in the monetary liability for past conduct. (As discussed below, Plaintiff also proposes 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). + +As stated in Landqraf, "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 astatute which substantially increases a party's liability to conduct occurring before the statute's enactment. Landarat, 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, this Court is required to apply the statute in effect at the time of the alleged conduct. 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005). + +# III. Standard - Motion To Dismiss, More Definite Statement, Pleading, & Motion to Strike + +As established by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. V. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007), amotion 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 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, "Wactual + +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 plaintiff's 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). + +In discussing Twombly, the Eleventh Circuit in v. Fla. International Univ. 495F.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, 127S.Ct. at 1965). + +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. As to the general rules and form of pleading, Rules 8 and 10, aclaim for relief must contain "a short plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief;" Rule 8(a)(3); and may contain alternative claims within a count or as many separate claims. Rule 10(d)(2) and (3). + +## A. 18 U.S.C. V255(a) does not allow the Plaintiff to multiple the presumptive minimum damages amount on a per incident or per violation basis. + +In attempting to allege a §2255 claim, Plaintiff alleges that she is entitled to a multiplication of the presumptive minimum damages amount based on the number of + +incidents. See endnote 1, Complaint, ¶¶13-14. Under the plain meaning of the statutory text, §2255 does not allow for a multiplication of the presumptive "actual damages" by the number of incidents or violations alleged. No where in the statutory text is there any reference to the "civil remedy" afforded against adefendant by this statute as being on a"per violation" or "per incident" basis. 18 U.S.C. 2255(a) creates a "civil remedy" 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 ... ." The presumptive minimum damages amount speaks in terms of "actual damages." See 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005), quoted above in part I; v. Husband, 428F.Supp.2d 432 (E.D. Va. 2006); lEry, Husband 376F.Supp.2d 603 (E.D. Va. 2006); Doe v. Liberatore, 478F.Supp.2d 742, 754(M.D. Pa. 2007); and the recent cases in front of this court on Defendant's Motions to Dismiss and For More Definite Statement — Doe No. 2 v. Epstein, 2009WL 383332 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009); Doe No. 3 v. Epstein, 2009WL 383330 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009); Doe No. 4 v. Epstein, 2009WL 383286 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009); and Doe No. 5 v. Epstein, 2009WL 383383 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2009). + +There is no reported case supporting Plaintiffs tortured and nonsensical interpretation of §2255. In all of these cases (cited above), each of the Plaintiffs brought asingle count or cause of action attempting to allege numerous violations of the "predicate acts" specifically identified in §2255; in none of the cases did the Court award the presumptive amount of damages based on a per incident or per violation basis. "18 U.S.C. §2255 gives victims of sexual conduct who are minors a private right of action." + +v. 492 F.Supp.2d 1186, 1188 (N.D. Cal. 2007), (emphasis added). 18 U.S.C.A. §2255 "merely provides acause of action for damages in 'any appropriate United States District Court.'" Id, at 1189. In Tilton v. Playboy Entertainment Groups Inc., 554 F.3d 1371 (11th Cir. Jan. 15, 2009), the District Court granted plaintiff "the minimum 'actual damages' prescribed by §2255(a)," wherein plaintiff alleged that defendants had violated three of the statutory predicate acts; there was no multiplying of the award. + +It is well settled that in interpreting a statute, the court's inquiry begins with the plain and unambiguous language of the statutory text. CBS, Inc. v. Prime Time 24 Venture, 245F.3d 1217 (11th Cir. 2001); U.S. v. Castroneves, 2009WL 528251, \*3 (S.D. Fla. 2009), citing Reeves v. Astrue, 526F.3d 732, 734 (11th Cir. 2008); and v. Husband 376F.Supp.2d at 610 ("When interpreting a statute, [a court's] inquiry begins with the text."). "The Court must first look to the plain meaning of the words, and scrutinize the statute's 'language, structure, and purpose.'" Id. In addition, in construing astatute, acourt is to presume that the legislature said what it means and means what it said, and not add language or give some absurd or strained interpretation. As stated in CBS. Inc supra at 1228 — "Those who ask courts to give effect to perceived legislative intent by interpreting statutory language contrary to its plain and unambiguous meaning are in effect asking courts to alter that language, and '[c]ourts have no authority to alter statutory language.... We cannot add to the terms of [the] provision what Congress left out.' Merritt, 120 F.3d at 1187." See also Dodd v. U.S., 125S.Ct. 2478 (2005); 73 Am.Jur.2d Statutes §124. + +As quoted above, Title 18 of the U.S.C. is entitled "Crimes and Criminal Procedure." §2255 is contained in "Part I. Crimes, Chap. 110. Sexual Exploitation and Other Abuse of Children." 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2003), is entitled Civil remedy for personal injuries. Reading the entire statute in context, no where is there any language indicating that presumptive minimum damages amount is to be multiplied on a"per violation" or "per incident basis." Under the statutory rules of construction, had the legislature intended to include a multiplier with respect to the damages amount, the statute would have included such language. Had Congress wanted to create such a remedy as Plaintiff attempts to bring, it could have easily included language of "such damages shall be multiplied on a per violation" or "per incident" basis in subsection (a). + +By its own terms, the statute provides for the recovery of "actual damages the minor sustains and the cost of the suit, including attorney's fees." The next sentence expressly states — "Any minor as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$50,000 in value." (Even the 2006 amended version provides — "Any person as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$150,000 in value.") There is absolutely no language that allows for a plaintiff to multiply the specified or presumptive damages recoverable on a"per violation" or "per incident" basis. The Plaintiffs position on §2255 puts astrained interpretation with an absurd result. + +In v. , supra, the defendants sought to dismiss plaintiffs' 18 U.S.C. §2255 action based on forum non conveniens. The Northern District of California Court, relying on the rules of statutory construction, rejected plaintiffs' argument that Congress + +had intended to abrogate the forum non conveniens doctrine in a§2255 action; the District Court noted that the statute does not contain a mandatory venue provision. Had Congress wanted to get rid of the forum non-conveniens doctrine, it would have said so in the statute. Also, in v. Husband, 428 F.Supp. 432; and 376 F.Supp.2d 603, the plaintiff invoked "the accompanying civil remedy for these criminal violations, stating that she has sustained and continues to sustain physical and mental damages, humiliation, and embarrassment as a result of Defendant's criminal acts." In other words, she brought a single cause of action, based on allegations of multiple violations of the §2255 predicate acts. Furthermore, the court refused to add a venue interpretation that simply was not written into the statutory text. See other §2255 cases cited herein. + +For an example of a statute wherein the legislature included the language "for each violation" in assessing a"civil penalty," see 18 U.S.C. §216, entitled "Penalties and injunctions," of Chapter 11 - "Bribery, Graft, and Conflict of Interests," also contained in Title 18 - "Crimes and Criminal Procedure." Subsection (b) of §216 gives the United States Attorney General the power to bring a"civil action ... against any person who engages in conduct constituting an offense under" specified sections of the bribery, graft, and conflicts of interest statutes. The statute further provides in relevant part that "upon proof of such conduct by a preponderance of the evidence, such person shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than \$50,000 for each violation or the amount of compensation which the person received or offered for the prohibited conduct, which ever amount is greater." As noted, 18 U.S.C. §2255 does not include such language. + +Accordingly, Plaintiff has failed to allege acause of action under §2255, as the statute does not allow for the multiplication of the presumptive damages amount on a per incident or per violation basis. Plaintiff Complaint is required to be dismissed. + +#### B. Also requiring dismissal Plaintiff has failed to sufficiently allege any requisite V265 predicate act. + +Also requiring dismissal of Plaintiffs purported §2255 claim is Plaintiffs failure to sufficiently allege any violation of a requisite predicate act as specifically identified in subsection (a). Relevant to Plaintiff's complaint, 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 ... ."

There are no allegations what so ever regarding 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, ... ." + +Plaintiff appears to be relying solely on an "agreement with the United States Attorney's Office to not contest liability for claims brought exclusively pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255, in exchange for avoiding federal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. §2422(b)." Complaint, ¶15. As noted above herein, Plaintiff already has additional claims against EPSTEIN pending in state court. See Exhibit A hereto. Even taking Plaintiffs allegation in paragraph 15 as true, Plaintiff is not proceeding exclusively under §2255. Accordingly, under the standard of pleading as established in Twombly, supra, Plaintiff has failed to sufficiently allege the requisite elements of a §2255 claim, thus requiring dismissal for failure to state a cause of action. + +C. In the alternative, pursuant to constitutional law principles of statutory interpretation, 18 U.S.C. §225S is required to be interpreted as creating a single "civil remedy" or cause of action on behalf of a minor plaintiff against adefendant. The "civil remedy" afforded is not on a"per violation" or "per incident" basis. + +As set forth above, it is Defendant's position that the text of 18 U.S.C. §2255 does not allow a Plaintiff to pursue the damages afforded under the statute on a"per violation" or "per incident" basis. In the alternative, if one were to assume that the language of §2255 were vague or ambiguous, under the constitutional based protections of due process, judicial restraint, and the rule of lenity applied in construing astatute, Defendant's position as to the meaning of the statute would prevail over + +Plaintiffs view. See United States v. , 128 S.Ct. 2020, 2025 (2008). As summarized by the United States Supreme Court in , supra, at 2025: + +... The rule of lenity requires ambiguous criminal laws to be interpreted in favor of the defendants subjected to them. See United States v. Gradwell, 243U.S. 476, 485, 37 S.Ct. 407, 61 L.Ed. 857 (1917); McBoyle v. United States, 283 U.S. 25, 27, 51 S.Ct. 340, 75 L.Ed. 816 (1931); United States v. Bass, 404 U.S. 336, 347-349, 92 S.Ct. 515, 30 L.Ed.2d 488 (1971). This venerable rule not only vindicates the fundamental principle that no citizen should be held accountable for a violation of a statute whose commands are uncertain, or subjected to punishment that is not clearly prescribed. It also places the weight of inertia upon the party that can best induce Congress to speak more clearly and keeps courts from making criminal law in Congress's stead. ... + +In the Court was faced with the interpretation of the term "proceeds" in the federal money laundering statute, 18 U.S.C. §1956. "The federal money-laundering statute prohibits anumber of activities involving criminal 'proceeds.'" Id, at 2023. Noting that the term "proceeds" was not defined in the statute, the Supreme Court stated the well settled principle that "when a term is undefined, we give it its ordinary meaning." Id, at 2024. Under the ordinary meaning principle, the government's position was that proceeds meant "receipts," while the defendant's position was that proceeds meant "profits." The Supreme Court recognized that under either of the proffered "ordinary meanings," the provisions of the federal money-laundering statute were still coherent, not redundant, and the statute was not rendered "utterly absurd." Under such a situation, citing to a long line of cases and the established rule of lenity, "the tie must go to the defendant." Id, at 2025. See portion of Court's opinion quoted above. "Because the 'profits' definition of 'proceeds' is always more defendant friendly that the 'receipts' definition, the rule of lenity dictates that it should be adopted." Id. + +Plaintiffs position would subject Defendant EPSTEIN to a punishment that is not clearly prescribed — an unwritten multiplier of the "actual damages" or the presumptive minimum damages. The rule of lenity requires that Defendant's interpretation of the remedy afforded under §2255 be adopted. As noted above, Plaintiffs interpretation would allow Plaintiff to multiply her recovery without any regard to what the actual damages are. + +In addition, under the Due Process Clause's basic principle of fair warning - + +... a criminal statute must give fair warning of the conduct that it makes a crime ... . As was said in United States v. Harriss, 347U.S. 612, 617, 74 S.Ct. 808, 812, 98 L.Ed. 989, + +'The constitutional requirement of definiteness is violated by acriminal statute that fails to give a person of ordinary intelligence fair notice that his contemplated conduct is forbidden by the statute. The underlying principle is that no man shall be held criminally responsible for conduct which he could not reasonably understand to be proscribed.' + +Thus we have struck down a [state] criminal statute under the Due Process Clause where it was not 'sufficiently explicit to inform those who are subject to it what conduct on their part will render them liable to its penalties.' Connally v. General Const. Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391, 46 S.Ct. 126, 127, 70 L.Ed. 322. We have recognized in such cases that '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 violates the first essential of due process of law,' ibid., and that 'No one may be required at peril of life, liberty or property to speculate as to the meaning of penal statutes. All are entitled to be informed as to what the State commands or forbids.' Lanzetta v. New Jersey, 306 U.S. 451, 453, 59 S.Ct. 618, 619, 83 L.Ed. 888. + +Thus, applying these well-entrenched constitutional principles of statutory interpretation and application, Plaintiffs cause of action attempting to multiply the presumptive amount of damages is required to be dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. + +### D. Plaintiffs action is also required to be dismissed for failure to state a cause of action sounding in conspiracy under §2255. + +Finally, Plaintiffs entire action is subject to dismissal to the extent that she is attempting to allege a conspiracy to violate §2255 for the same reasons she has failed to state a cause of action against EPSTEIN individually as discussed above herein. See Complaint ¶¶9, 10, 11, 13, and 14. + +#### Conclusion + +Plaintiff improperly relies on the 18 U.S.C. §2255, as amended, eff, July 27, 2006, in her attempt to plead acause of action. The statue in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies. Plaintiff has also improperly sought to multiply the presumptive minimum damages amount imposed on a per incident or per violation basis. Not only is there nothing in the statute which would allow for such interpretation, but such interpretation is in violation of well established constitutional principles. Finally, Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action under §2255 either individually against EPSTEIN or as aconspiracy. There are absolutely no underlying factual allegations setting forth the elements of the predicate act relied upon. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court dismiss Plaintiff's entire action. + +> By: ROBERT D RITTON, JR., ESQ.

A., + +Plaintiff, + +v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN and [REDACTED] +[REDACTED], + +Defendants, + +**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, dated December 16, 2008, (Document 28), 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 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 greatscrutiny 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 abreach 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 51° 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 5h 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 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 ajudgment 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 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 al.22 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. 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). 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 15'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 - "(ilt 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. Conboy, 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 (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 + +Page 11 + +(concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States. f487 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 (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; 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 + +Page 13 + +that the witness was mistaken in his invocation of the privilege." (Emphasis added). In re MI Financial Svcs.,supra at 399, .gr 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 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 (11th Cir. I988)("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.

A., + +Plaintiff, + +v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN and + +Defendants, + +## DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S RESPONSE & OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby responds to Plaintiffs First Request For Production To Defendant, served January 8, 2009 and states: + +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 present time I cannot select, authenticate, and produce documents relevant to this + +EXHIBIT + +\_.\6' , '.\s' r(ha, + +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. 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. 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 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. 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.

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.

OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO DISMISS + +Plaintiff, JANE DOE II, through counsel, opposes Defendant's RICHARD EPSTEIN's Motion to Dismiss. Defendant's argument for a dismissal is premised on the following: 1) Plaintiff is not permitted to file a claim under Florida law in a State of Florida court and then file a federal claim in a federal court; 2) the remedies amendment to 18 U.S.C.§2255 are not retroactive based on the dates Defendant EPSTEIN is alleged to have violated the statute; 3) damages under §2255 cannot be obtained on a per incident basis, but must be lumped together into a single recovery despite multiple violations occurring in temporally distinct time frames, and therefore being different incidents; 4) Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action under §2255 because she has failed to "allege facts constituting a predicate act"; and 5) Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for conspiracy to violate §2255. + +## I.

The Court must accept all of plaintiff's factual allegations as true. Schuer v. 416 U.S. 232 (1974). Rule 8(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a complaint need only be "a short and plain statement of the claim," and as long as the pleadings "give defendant fair notice of what the plaintiff's claim is and the grounds upon which it rests," notice pleading has been satisfied. Conley v. 355 U.S. at 47. For a claim to state a cause of action however, facts, not labels and conclusions must be asserted. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly 550 U.S. 544 (2007) + +## II. ARGUMENT + +Point 1. Plaintiff has every right to proceed in State court for a Florida common law claim, and in this Court for a federal claim. + +Defendant EPSTEIN's argument on this point is frivolous. Plaintiffs claims in State court are based on the common law of Florida, while the federal claims are based on a federal statutory remedy.' There are different facts that prove each claim and different elements to the claims. Defendant seems to be arguing that the Plaintiff forfeits a right to a federal remedy when she invokes a parallel, but independent and wholly distinct right to a State remedy. That is simply not supported by any case or reasonable interpretation of any case. The lynchpin of Defendant's argument is that concurrent jurisdiction is available to hear all claims in one forum; that is simply not the case, since the state claims are vastly different than the federal statutory remedy. If the State claims had been filed in this Court, this Court would not be obligated to exercise concurrent jurisdiction. It is well established that the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction is discretionary with the court, and is properly rejected + +On a Motion to Dismiss, the Court is of course confined to the four corners of the Complaint, and it is completely improper for the Defendant to attach as Exhibits copies of a Complaint from a different proceeding, a fact that is not alleged anywhere in the Complaint at issue before this Court.

Carias v. Lenox Financial Mortgage Corporation 2008 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 20345 \*1 (N.D. Cal. March 5, 2008). In Carias, after granting summary judgment on the sole federal claim, the Court remanded the State claims to state court, stating: 'The Court declines to exercise pendent jurisdiction over the state law claims and remands the action to state court. The Court finds that the issues of economy, convenience, fairness and comity collectively weigh in favor of remand. See Harrell 934 F.2d at 205.

Its justification lies in considerations of judicial economy, convenience and fairness to litigants; if these are not present a federal court should hesitate to exercise jurisdiction over state claims, even though bound to apply state law to them, Erie R.

Id. at \*5-6 (emphasis added). In Daimler Chrysler Corporation v. Charlotte Cuno, 547 U.S. 332, 351-52 (2006) the Supreme Court stated: + +Gibbs held that federal-question jurisdiction over a claim may authorize a federal court to exercise jurisdiction over state-law claims that may be viewed as part of the same case because they "derive from a common nucleus of operative fact" as the federal claim. 383 U.S., at 725, 86 S. Ct. 1130, 16 L. Ed. 2d 218. Plaintiffs assume that Gibbs stands for the proposition that federal jurisdiction extends to all claims sufficiently related to a claim within Article III to be part of the same case, regardless of the nature of the deficiency that would keep the former claims out of federal court if presented on their own. + +Our general approach to the application of Gibbs, however, has been markedly more cautious. For example, as a matter of statutory construction of the pertinent jurisdictional provisions, we refused to extend Gibbs to allow claims to be asserted against nondiverse parties when jurisdiction was based on diversity, see Owen Equipment & Erection Co. v. Kroger, 437 U.S. 365, 98 S. Ct. 2396, 57 L. Ed. 2d 274 (1978), and we refused to extend Gibbs to authorize supplemental jurisdiction over claims that do not satisfy statutory amount-in-controversy requirements, see Finley v. United States, 490 U.S. 545, 109 S. Ct. 2003, 104 L. Ed. 2d 593 (1989). As the Court explained just last Term, "we have not . . . applied Gibbs' expansive interpretive approach to other aspects of the jurisdictional statutes." Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Servs., 545 U.S. 546, 553, 125 S. Ct. 2611, 162 L. Ed. 2d 502 (2005) (applying 28 U.S.C. § 1367, enacted in 1990, to allow a federal court in a diversity action to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over additional diverse plaintiffs whose claims failed to meet the amount-in-controversy threshold). + +***What we have never done is apply the rationale of Gibbs to permit a federal court to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim that does not itself satisfy those elements of the Article III inquiry***, such as constitutional standing, that "serve to identify those disputes which are appropriately resolved through the judicial process."

Ed. 2d 135. + +(Emphasis added) + +Defendant's argument that the Court should abstain from deciding the purely federal issues in this case because there is an independent action under State law is absurd.

Only in "exceptional" circumstances, to promote conservation of judicial resources and comprehensive disposition of litigation, would a federal court be authorized to dismiss federal parallel' claims that are initiated in state court. Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S. 800 (1976). However, for the Colorado River doctrine to even apply, there must be clear Congressional direction that would preclude a federal court's "virtually unflagging obligation ...to exercise federal jurisdiction." Id. at 817. In that case, the Supreme Court found that clear Congressional direction from the McCarran Amendment, which the Court read to counsel against "piecemeal litigation" concerning issues of water rights in a river system, favored abstention It at 819. Even with this clear Congressional direction, if other factors had not favored abstention, it may not have been ordered. Ids at 820. + +Defendant EPSTEIN does not offer any evidence of any Congressional direction that would direct this Court to abstain for claims under 18 U.S.C. §2255.4 Further, the Colorado River doctrine only applies when federal courts are presented with "difficult questions of state + +'The federal claims that are the subject matter of this action are not necessarily parallel, although the incidents that gave rise to both the federal and state claims arise from the same series of events. A Florida appellate court, for example, has refused to apply principles of res judicata to bar State discrimination claims after the plaintiff lost federal discrimination claims. IIIIII v. National Property & Casualty Underwriters 659 So. 2d 1214 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995) (adverse judgment against plaintiff in federal court for federal discrimination claims did not bar subsequent action under state discrimination laws). Here, although some of the elements for some of the claims may be similar, they are sufficiently different that application of would preclude res judicata. To determine whether a case is parallel, courts have looked to whether the same issues are being litigated. Calvert Fire Ins. Co. v. American Mut. Reins. Co., 600 F.2d 1228, 1229, n. 1 (7th Cir. 1979); the issues in the State court and in this Court are not the same. + +'The Supreme Court said that Congressional direction is the "[m]ost important factor." Id. at 819.

law bearing on policy problems of substantial public import whose importance transcends the result in the case at bar." dI . at 814 (emphasis added).5 Plaintiff in this case is not asking this Court to adjudicate any claims under State law, nor do the claims presented "policy problems of substantial public import." This case involves claims against an individual brought by another individual.

Just how narrow the circumstances under which abstention is appropriate under the Colorado River doctrine, was demonstrated in the subsequent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Will v. Calvert Fire Insurance Co. 437 U.S. 655 (1979). In Will the Supreme Court further narrowed the contours of when a federal court may abstain when there is a parallel state action. In that case, a bare majority of one held upheld the District Court's decision to abstain, however, Justice Blackmun, in casting the deciding vote, did so because he was of the opinion that the remedy sought (mandamus) was premature, since the Appellate Court which had reversed the District Court, should have simply directed it to reconsider the issue in light of the very limited circumstances under which abstention is appropriate under the Colorado River doctrine. Id. at 668.

While the Will case recognizes that Colorado River abstention is a matter generally left to the sound discretion of the District Court, the Eleventh Circuit has abolished its application for claims predicated on 42 U.S.C.§1983. Alacare. Inc. v.Bagiano 785 F. 2d 963 (11th Cir. 1986);See also: Tovar v. Billmeyer, 609 F. 2d 1291 (9th Cir. 1979) (rejecting application of abstention in Section 1983 cases). Defendant cites no cases where the

Colorado River has been applied where the plaintiff is pursuing federal civil rights claims in state and federal courts, at the same time, which is not the case here. See for example: Atchinson v. Nelson, 460 F. Supp. 1102 (D. Wyo. 1978).

Colorado River doctrine has been applied to a federal claim under §2255. The cases cited by Defendant EPSTEIN do not support a decision by this Court to abstain over what is a purely federal claim. In American Bankers Ins. Co. v. First State Ins. Co. 891 F.2d 882 (11th Cir. 1990), the District Court dismissed a purely state law claim for equitable subrogation because there had been an earlier claim for declaratory relief in State Court; the Eleventh Circuit reversed, concluding

...that no exceptional circumstances require dismissal of this case in deference to the pending state court proceeding. If it were simply a question of judicial economy, this litigation probably should proceed in the New York court. A federal court cannot properly decline to exercise its statutory jurisdiction, however, simply because judicial economy might be served by deferring to a state court. Federal courts have a 'virtually unflagging obligation' to exercise the jurisdiction given them.' Colorado River 424 U.S. at 816, 96 S. Ct. at 1246. The interest in preserving federal jurisdiction mandates that this action not be dismissed.

891 F.2d at 886.

Finally, Plaintiff has pled that Defendant EPSTEIN has made an agreement with the United States Attorney's Office to not contest the jurisdiction of this Court in exchange for a avoiding prosecution under federal law for solicitation of minors for prostitution. Complaint, ¶15. Defendant EPSTEIN appears to be violating the agreement in contesting the jurisdiction of this Court; at a minimum, at this stage of the pleadings he should be estopped from contesting jurisdiction, since the allegations of ¶15 must be accepted as true.6

Point 2. The retroactivity of the amendments to §2255 is not appropriately addressed in a motion to dismiss; but if the Court is so inclined to consider it, there are insufficient facts pled in the Complaint to render the 2006 amendments inapplicable to the case at bar.

Plaintiff acknowledges that Defendant EPSTEIN's agreement is between the United States and he; however, the Plaintiff and the other victims of his sexual predation may be considered third party beneficiaries to the agreement.

The only issue properly before the Court is whether the Complaint states a cause of action. ¶14 of the Complaint claims that the Plaintiff is entitled to the sum of \$150,000 for each event wherein Defendant EPSTEIN solicited the Plaintiff for prostitution. Each event is set forth in the Complaint in ¶13.' There are two related issues before the Court: 1) the amount of minimum damages recoverable, \$50,000, or \$150,000; and, 2) whether the Plaintiff can recover the minimum amount of damages for each temporally distinct event, or whether she is restricted to a single recovery of the minimum damages recoverable under the statute.

For the first issue, it is Plaintiff's position that the matter cannot be decided on a motion to dismiss, because what Defendant EPSTEIN is asking the Court to do is to declare, prematurely, that when the Court instructs the jury, it instruct them that the minimum recovery for the Plaintiff, if she proves the allegations, is either \$50,000 (for the entire set of events, Defendant EPSTEIN's position) or \$150,000 for each event (Plaintiff's position); this issue cannot be settled on a motion to dismiss, but is better reserved for the charging conference at trial. On the second issue, as will be addressed later, under the plain language of the statute, since Defendant EPSTEIN can be criminally prosecuted for each temporally distinct event where he solicited this minor for prostitution, he can be subjected to the civil remedy for damages for each such event, under either version of the statute. This second

Plaintiff alleges that Defendant EPSTEIN, or others working on his behalf, solicited the Plaintiff for prostitution, while she was a minor, on "6/16/03, 7/2/03, 4/9/04, 6/7/04, 7/30/04, 8/30/04, 10/9/04, 10/12/04, 10/30/04 and 11/9/04. In addition, Plaintiff believes that there were as many as 10 to 20 other occasions during this time frame that Defendant EPSTEIN solicited her and procured her to perform prostitution services, all during the time that she was a minor."

issue would be better addressed on a summary judgment motion, and again, has nothing to do with whether Plaintiff has pled a cause of action pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), Fed. R. Civ. P.

Plaintiff agrees with the general proposition that a new law that creates new substantive rights, absent Congressional direction to the contrary, does not have retroactive effect, but this is not a new law. §2255 was amended in 2006, to, inter alia, provide an enhanced minimum recovery for damages caused by sexual predators such as Defendant EPSTEIN. However, the change in the civil remedies available of a statute is a procedural, not a substantive change in the law, and procedural changes to a statute are routinely applied retroactively.9 Where substantive changes in a law are made by Congress, a slim majority of the Supreme Court has declined retroactive application, even where the law was ostensibly enacted to overrule a Court precedent that had itself, in the view of Congress, overruled earlier Court precedents. Rivers v. Roadway Express 511 U.S. 298, 308 (1994).9

-Defendant EPSTEIN also cites to United States v. Siegel 153 F.3d 1256 (11'9 Cir. 1998), wherein, based on a defendant's inability to pay restitution mandated by a penal statute, the Court reversed a restitution order. An amendment to the statute removed from consideration the defendant's ability to pay restitution; the Court said such an amendment could not be applied retroactively because the provision amounted to a punishment under a penal statute, and would violate the ex post facto provision in the U. S. Constitution, This case is clearly distinguished our case: the statute here is a civil, not a penal remedy; the amendment to the statute modifies the minimal exposure of the Defendant, but does not, as in the Siegel case, dispense with a substantive defense to a restitution claim. United States v. Whiting, 165 F.3d 631 (8'9 Cir. 1999), where a conviction for possession of child pornography was upheld, despite the fact that the conduct of the defendant was arguably not specifically proscribed by statute at the time the images were possessed; the Court held the legislative amendment was a mere clarification of the prior legislation and not an ex post facto law.

Justice Scalia cited the statement of purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, to hold that, for example, the amendments specifically designed to overrule Patterson v. McLean Credit Union 491 U.S. 164, 105 L. Ed. 2d 132, 109 S. Ct. 2363, should be

Similarly, in the companion case of Landgraf v. Usi Film Prods. 511 U.S. 244, 275, n. 28 (1994), the Court declined to retroactively apply substantive changes to Title VII cases, but noted that

While we have strictly construed the Ex Post Facto Clause to prohibit application of new statutes creating or increasing punishments after the fact, we have upheld intervening procedural changes even if application of the new rule operated to a defendant's disadvantage in the particular case. See e. g. Dobbert v. Florida 432 U.S. 282, 293-294, 53 L. Ed. 2d 344, 97 S. Ct. 2290 (1977)• see also v. Youngblood 497 U.S. 37, 111 L. Ed. 2d 30, 110 S. Ct. 2715 (1990); Beazell v. Ohio 269 U.S. 167, 70 L. Ed. 216, 46 S. Ct. 68 (1925).

The question becomes then is an increase in the minimum guaranteed damages of a civil remedy statute a substantive or a procedural change? A careful reading of Landsgraf compels a finding that it is a procedural change only that must be given retroactive application. Although the Landsgraf Court declined to give retroactive application to the change most analogous to the one at issue here, it did so because it found the newly created right to compensatory damages, previously not available under Title VII, and made available by the Civil Rights Act of 1991, was in effect the creation of a new statute:

The provision of § 102(a)(1) authorizing the recovery of compensatory damages is not easily classified. It does not make unlawful conduct that was lawful when it occurred; as we have noted, supra, 511 U.S. at 252-255, § 102 only reaches discriminatory conduct already prohibited by Title VII. Concems about a lack of fair notice are further muted by the fact that such discrimination was in many cases (although not this one) already subject to monetary liability in the form of backpay. Nor could anyone seriously contend

applied prospectively only, based on a statutorily expressed Congressional intent to do so: "The statute that was actually enacted in 1991 contains no comparable language. Instead of a reference to 'restoring' pre-existing rights, its statement of purposes describes the Act's function as 'expanding the scope of relevant civil rights statutes in order to provide adequate protection to victims of discrimination.' 1991 Act, § 3(4), 105 Stat. 1071 (emphasis added)."

that the compensatory damages provisions smack of a "retributive" or other suspect legislative purpose. Section 102 reflects Congress' desire to afford victims of discrimination more complete redress for violations of rules established more than a generation ago in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. At least with respect to its compensatory damages provisions, then, § 102 is not in a category in which objections to retroactive application on grounds of fairness have their greatest force.

Nonetheless, the new compensatory damages provision would operate "retrospectively" if it were applied to conduct occurring before November 21, 1991. Unlike certain other forms of relief, compensatory damages are quintessentially backward looking. Compensatory damages may be intended less to sanction wrongdoers than to make victims whole, but they do so by a mechanism that affects the liabilities of defendants. They do not "compensate" by distributing funds from the public coffers, but by requiring particular employers to pay for harms they caused. The introduction of a right to compensatory damages is also the type of legal change that would have an impact on private parties' planning. In this case, the event to which the new damages provision relates is the discriminatory conduct of respondents' agent John [REDACTED]; if applied here, that provision would attach an important new legal burden to that conduct. The new damages remedy in § 102, we conclude, is the kind of provision that does not apply to events antedating its enactment in the absence of clear congressional intent.

In cases like this one, in which prior law afforded no relief, § 102 can be seen as creating a new cause of action, and its impact on parties' rights is especially pronounced. Section 102 confers a new right to monetary relief on persons like petitioner who were victims of a hostile work environment but were not constructively discharged, and the novel prospect of damages liability for their employers. Because Title VII previously authorized recovery of backpay in some cases, and because compensatory damages under § 102(a) are in addition to any backpay recoverable, the new provision also resembles a statute increasing the amount of damages available under a preestablished cause of action. Even under that view, however, the provision would, if applied in cases arising before the Act's effective date, undoubtedly impose on employers found liable a "new disability" in respect to past events. See Society for Propagation of the Gospel, 22 F. Cas. at 767. 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. Neither in [REDACTED] itself, nor in any case before or since in which Congress had not clearly spoken, have we read a statute substantially increasing the monetary liability of a private party to apply to conduct occurring before the statute's enactment. See Winfree v. Northern Pacific R. Co., 227 U.S. 296, 301, 57 L. Ed. 518, 33 S. Ct. 273 (1913) (statute creating new federal cause of action for wrongful death

inapplicable to case arising before enactment in absence of "explicit words" or "clear implication")• United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. v. United States ex rel. Struthers Wells Co. 209 U.S. 306, 314-315 (1908) (construing statute restricting subcontractors' rights to recover damages from prime contractors as prospective in absence of "clear, strong and imperative" language from Congress favoring retroactivity).

Id. at 281-86 [footnotes omitted).

Here, we have an increase in the potential damages remedy, but it was a damages remedy that already existed at the time of Defendant EPSTEIN's commission of the acts against the minor. Hence, here, unlike Landsqraf, there was an existing civil remedy prior to Defendant EPSTEIN's commission of the acts against the minor Plaintiff, and there continues to be such a remedy. Similar to our fact situation here, in v. School Bd. of Richmond 416 U.S. 696, 40 L. Ed. 2d 476, 94 S. Ct. 2006 (1974), a unanimous Court applied an intervening statute authorizing an award of attorney's fees for parties seeking to end school segregation, to a case pending on appeal at the time the statute was enacted. Noting that the statute created an "additional basis or source for the Board's potential obligation to pay attorneys' fees," 416 U.S. at 721, the Court found that the statute's retroactive application did not adversely affect the settled expectations of the parties. It is difficult to imagine, particularly when the Court is contemplating a motion to dismiss, that Defendant EPSTEIN had a "settled expectation" that if and when he was caught for solicitation of minors for prostitution he would be liable for only a minimum of \$50,000; it is highly probable that he never believed he would be caught and he never knew of or contemplated the civil penalties he would face under §2255. It is highly unlikely that Defendant EPSTEIN made those calculations when he committed the crimes against this or any other minor. Hence the rationale usually advanced for prospective application of

statutory enactments is simply not present here, and the record is devoid of any factual material that would support such a conclusion.10 As Justice Blackmun said in dissent in Landsgraf, there is no vested right to break the law."

Bottom line is, a motion to dismiss a claim is not the correct procedural mechanism to determine the retroactivity of a statute. Landsgraf was decided after a trial on the merits of the claim, wherein the trial court determined that although the sexual harassment was serious, the employer, upon learning of it, had taken prompt remedial measures to correct it, and the plaintiff did not have sufficient cause to warrant quitting her job. W. at 247-48. Rivers v. Roadway Express 511 U.S. 298 (1994) was decided after a trial on the merits as well, wherein the Court dismissed the 1981 claims based on the holding in Patterson supra and exonerated the Defendant on the Title VII claims in a bench trial. On appeal, the plaintiff sought relief under the 1991 Civil Rights Act amendments, which overruled Patterson. These

Although outside the pleadings and not appropriate for consideration on a Motion to Dismiss, Defendant EPSTEIN has refused to answer any substantive questions in the only two (2) depositions he has given in all these cases, including in the State court case involving this Plaintiff. Accordingly, Plaintiff has not been able to ascertain whether Defendant EPSTEIN had settled expectations about the limits of his civil liability under §2255.

"At no time within the last generation has an employer had a vested right to engage in or to permit xual harassment; 'there is no such thing as a vested right to do wrong.' Freeborn v. , 69 U.S. 160, 2 Wall. 160, 175, 17 L. Ed. 922 (1865). See also 2 N. , Sutherland on Statutory Construction § 41.04, p. 349 (4th rev. ed. 1986) (procedural and remedial statutes that do not take away vested rights are presumed to apply to pending actions). Section 102 of the Act expands the remedies available for acts of intentional discrimination, but does not alter the scope of the employee's basic right to be free from discrimination or the employers corresponding legal duty. There is nothing unjust about holding an employer responsible for injuries caused by conduct that has been illegal for almost 30 years." Id. at 297. Similarly in this case, soliciting minors for acts of prostitution, has been unlawful and the civil remedy associated therewith has long preceded the acts in question.

cases where in a much different procedural posture than the present case, and the law that is applicable, including the raise of the minimum cap to \$150,000, was in place well before this suit was filed. Further, well before this suit was filed Defendant EPSTEIN entered into a deferred prosecution agreement wherein he agreed to not contest the jurisdiction of this Court and liability for claims under §2255, and Plaintiff has so alleged in ¶15 of the Complaint. Plaintiff did not allege that Defendant EPSTEIN made this agreement with a specification that his damages would be limited to a single claim of a minimum recovery under the former statute, which was amended in 2006.

Point 3. 18 U.S.C. §2255 permits a claim for each temporally distinct event.

(a) In general. Any person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section 2241©), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title [18 USCS § 2241©), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423] 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 as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$ 150,000 in value.

The statute makes reference to "a violation" and "such violation," both references being in the singular. The statute does not say that if there are multiple violations, the Plaintiff is limited to a single recovery for all. Such a construction would to the plain language of the statute and common sense. Plaintiff has alleged that Defendant EPSTEIN violated the statute on 10 confirmed occasions and up to 20 additional occasions. Each date for each violation is different. There is no language in the statute that prohibits the Plaintiff from suing for each violation, and the dicta set forth in Tilton v. Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc. 554 F. 3d 1371 (11th Cir. 2009), vaguely noting that the District Court awarded the Plaintiff "the

minimum 'actual damages- , Id. at 1379, but there is no suggestion in this Opinion that the Plaintiff was so limited, no reference to whether Plaintiff sought the relief being sought here or that the events she complained of occurred on multiple occasions. In fact, it appears clear from the Opinion that the pro se Defendant that Plaintiff prevailed against by default was sued for a singular violation of recording the Plaintiffs sexually oriented performance at a Spring Break gathering. There is no indication that the conduct that was recorded by the defaulted Defendant occurred on multiple occasions, as here.

Point 4. The Eleventh Circuit has foreclosed Defendant EPSTEIN's argument that for a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2422(b) to occur, he must travel in interstate commerce; moreover, he has waived his right to contest the jurisdiction of the Court according to the allegations of the Complaint.

In United States v. Yost 479 F.3d 815 (11'" Cir. 2007), a defendant was convicted of two counts of attempting to induce persons he believed were minors (they were government agents posing as minors) to commit acts of prostitution under 18 U.S.C. §2422(b); he sought to void his convictions on appeal because he didn't get to the meeting place. The Court rejected the argument, holding:

We are not convinced by Yost's argument that his failure to arrive at the meeting place precludes a finding of a substantial step. Although this is the first time we have been confronted with an attempt conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) where travel is not involved, two other circuits have examined the issue and determin travel is not necessary to sustain such a conviction. In United States v. , 228 F.3d 637, 639-40 (6th Cir. 2000), the Sixth Circuit affirmed a conviction under Section 2422(b) where the defendant sent e-mails proposing oral sex and attempted to set up meetin s with minor females, albeit unsuccessfully. Similarly, in United States v. , 410 F.3d 1235, 1246 (10th Cir. 2005), the Tenth Circuit affirmed a Section 2422(b) attempt conviction, despite a lack of evidence of travel. The Tenth Circuit stated: crossed the line from 'harmless banter to inducement the moment he began making arrangements to meet [the minor], notwithstanding the lack of evidence that he traveled to the supposed meeting place." Id. Viewing the

totality of Yost's actions, we likewise conclude Yost crossed the line from mere ifie to inducement. In addition to his online chats with , Yost called on the telephone, posted pictures of his genitalia online, and made arrangements to meet her. Despite a lack of evidence of travel, the totality of Yost's actions convinces us that a reasonable jury could have found Yost committed a substantial step.

Id. at 820.

As a practical matter, although not pled, the manner in which Defendant EPSTEIN solicited Plaintiff to commit acts of prostitution as alleged was by telephone, by use of one of his surrogate "assistants," in this case Defendant .12 Plaintiff would receive a phone call on her cell phone (with a 561 exchange) from the cell phone of Defendant who used a cell phone with a New York exchange (917 area code). In United States v. Drury 396 F.3d 1303 (11th Cir. 2005), the Court had to determine whether a murder for hire conviction, where the defendant made calls from a Georgia land line to a federal agent posing as a hit man on a cell phone that routed calls through Jacksonville, was sufficient to establish use of interstate commerce for commission of the crime in question. The Court affirmed the conviction, even where there was no intent to use an instrumentality of interstate commerce, since the Defendant believed he was calling a number in Georgia.

In this case, the facts will demonstrate that for 99 per cent of the solicitations for prostitution, Plaintiff was called by Defendant , who used her cell phone with a 917 exchange, a New York exchange, and presumably set up the event after being instructed by Defendant EPSTEIN when and at what time the Plaintiff should appear at his home for the

sexual services he paid the Plaintiff for. Defendant resides and is believed to have resided in New York at all times relevant to this suit, although she was present at Defendant EPSTEIN's home on some of the occasions when the Plaintiff appeared after being summoned there. However, since she used a cellular phone, that is clearly a facility of interstate commerce as contemplated by 18 U.S.C. 2422(b), which encompasses conduct where "any facility or means of interstate commerce" is used." The Eleventh Circuit has recognized that "ftlhe telephone system is clearly a 'facility of interstate . . . commerce.'" United States v. Covington 2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 8263 (111h Cir. April 22, 2009).

Defendant EPSTEIN is alleged in the Complaint to have waived the right to contest the jurisdiction of this Court for claims under §2255, he should therefore be estopped from asserting the failure to allege predicate acts, particularly when he has refused to answer any questions based on his claimed right against self incrimination. However, if the Court is of the view that these predicate facts must be alleged despite the agreement, then Plaintiff requests leave to do so.

Point 5. Plaintiff has pled sufficient facts to establish a conspiracy to violate §2255.

A civil conspiracy is an agreement by two or more persons, to do an unlawful act or a lawful act by unlawful means, the doing of an overt act in furtherance of the

"(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." (Emphasis added).

conspiracy, resulting in damage to the Plaintiff. Walters v. Blankenship, 931 So. 2d 137 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006); Blatt v. [REDACTED], Horn, et al., 456 So. 2d 949 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1984).

To support her claim of a civil conspiracy, Plaintiff has pled the following:

9. Defendant EPSTEIN, in agreement with two (2) persons he employed for this purpose, [REDACTED] and Defendant [REDACTED], conspired with these other two, and others, to solicit young women of the type Defendant EPSTEIN preferred, blonde, attractive in appearance, and younger than 18 years of age, to provide sexual gratification for him by engaging in acts of prostitution.

10. Defendants EPSTEIN and [REDACTED] entered into a criminal conspiracy to solicit young women for acts of prostitution, including the Plaintiff, here in Palm Beach County.

11. From about June, 2003 until on or about February, 2005, Defendants EPSTEIN and [REDACTED] persuaded, induced, or enticed the Plaintiff to come to Defendant EPSTEIN's home and provide Defendant EPSTEIN with "massages" which escalated into sexual encounters between Defendant EPSTEIN and the Plaintiff designed to fulfill his unnatural sexual desires for young women or even younger girls who were minors. These acts included Defendant EPSTEIN's request that he wanted the encounter to be like a "porn video." Defendant EPSTEIN would script lines for the Plaintiff to say, including calling out his name and requesting that he perform a certain sexual act "harder," while he touched the Plaintiff's vagina with a vibrator or with his fingers; alternately, he would masturbate in the presence of the Plaintiff after demanding her to disrobe and walk in front of him in provocative sexual poses. Defendant EPSTEIN would pay the Plaintiff a fee of \$200 on each occasion after he ejaculated while masturbating in the presence of the Plaintiff.

Plaintiff has pled the elements of a civil conspiracy to violate §2255.

CONCLUSION

Defendant's Motion to Dismiss must be denied. Plaintiff's Complaint states a cause of action pursuant to §2255. The Colorado River doctrine for abstention is not remotely applicable to this case, which is grounded on a purely federal statutory cause of action. It is

inappropriate for the Defendant to seek to limit his minimum statutory exposure on a Motion to Dismiss, where there is no factual record or legislative history to determine the retroactivity of an enhanced damages provision to a cause of action that existed at the time of the wrongful acts. §2255 claims permit a Plaintiff to assert multiple claims for multiple violations that occur in temporally distinct time frames, no differently than any claim, whether based on tort or statutory law, that encompasses multiple events that occur at different times. Defendant EPSTEIN has waived the right to contest the issue of whether his conduct impacted interstate commerce; but Plaintiff is prepared to allege, if the Court deems it necessary, how his employee and co-conspirator, Defendant used an instrumentality of interstate commerce, her cell phone, to solicit the Plaintiff, then a minor, on behalf of Defendant EPSTEIN who solicited her sexual services for money. Finally, Plaintiff has pled all necessary elements to establish a civil conspiracy to violate §2255. For these reasons, Defendant EPSTEIN's Motion to Dismiss must be denied; however, if the Court determines otherwise, Plaintiff respectfully requests leave to amend.

+#### UNITED STATES' 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 Internal'!, 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: + +[A] 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[ing] 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-1 Hotels Interned?, 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 minions. 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

5The 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.

Respectfully submitted,

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 bane). this circuit adopted as binding precedent all decisions of the former Fifth Circuit handed down before October 1, 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. Kona), 242 F.R.D. 193, 197 (E.D.N.Y. 2006) (internal citation omitted), points out, "Mt 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 Bcach 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 Faccbook 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. Kolko, 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. H 11944 (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 Ha. 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.

IN THE ALTERNATIVE. TO UNSEAL THE NONPROSECUTION AGREEMENT + +Pursuant to Rule 5.4 of the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102 (together, the "Plaintiffs") by and through their undersigned attorneys, hereby file this Motion For Leave to File Plaintiffs Jane Doe No. 101 and Jane Doe No. 102's 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 Under Seal, and, as grounds, state as follows: + +I. 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.

+Plaintiff, + +v. + +JEFFREY EPSTEIN, + +Defendant. + +### DEFENDANT EPSTEIN'S REPLY TO & MOTION TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF PLAINTIFF'S MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, ("EPSTEIN"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, replies to and moves to strike Point 4 of Plaintiff's Memorandum Of Law In Opposition To Defendant Epstein's Motion To Dismiss, dated May 22, 2009, ("MOL"). Accordingly, Defendant states: + +## I. Legal Standard (pp. 1-2 of Plaintiffs MOL) + +Plaintiff's reliance on Conley v. 355U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957), as the Rule 12(b)(6) pleading standard is misplaced. As discussed in Defendant's motion to dismiss, (pp. 16 - 17), the standard as detailed in Bell Atlantic Corp. V. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007), is now the applicable standard, not Conley. Although the complaint need not provide detailed factual allegations, the basis for relief 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." Twombly, at 1965. Further, "fflactual 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. The United States Supreme Court very recently made clear in Ashcroft v. baba' No. 07-1015 (U.S. May 18, + +2009)(slip copy op. at 20), that Twombly expounded the pleading standard for "all civil actions" and not just pleadings made in the context of an antitrust dispute. Significantly, the Supreme Court in Twombly abrogated the often cited observation from Conley that "a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." Id, (abrogating and quoting Conley, 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. See also Berry v. Budget Rent A Car Systems, Inc., 497 F.Supp.2d 1361, 1364 (S.D. Fla. 2007)("... pursuant to Twombly, to survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must now contain factual allegations which are 'enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level, on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true."). + +# II. ARGUMENT + +Point 1. There is already pending a previously filed state action arising from the same factual allegations requiring dismissal of the federal action. (MOL, pp. 2 a + +First and foremost, contrary to Plaintiffs assertion that Defendant's argument regarding jurisdiction is "frivolous" is without basis. As discussed in Defendant's motion, Plaintiff chose to file a prior action based on the identical underlying facts in state court. It makes no sense for two actions — involving the same parties, witnesses, evidence, etc., to proceed separately in two separate forums. Plaintiff cites to no case law to + +counter and does not appear to directly dispute Defendant's position that the state court would have concurrent jurisdiction over the claim brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2255. + +Secondly, Plaintiff's assertion, (MOL, p.2, fn. 1), that it is somehow improper to attach a copy of this same Plaintiff's Complaint from the state court proceeding in support of Defendant's motion is ridiculous. It is completely proper and in essence required of any party to give notice to a court of a related pending proceeding. (See for example, Loc. Gen. Rule 3.8 (S.D. Fla. 2009).' The fact that there does exists a previously filed action by Plaintiff against Defendant is directly relevant to this Court's decision of whether or not to exercise jurisdiction over the §2255 claim when there exists a previously filed proceeding in which the claim might also be brought. Needless to say, whether or not a Court exercises jurisdiction over a matter is a critical issue. + +Finally, Plaintiff completely mischaracterizes what she herself alleged in paragraph 15 of her Complaint. In her MOL, p. 7, Plaintiff falsely asserts that in par. 15 she "pled that Defendant made an agreement with the United States Attorney's Office to not contest the jurisdiction of this Court in exchange for avoiding prosecution under federal law for solicitation of minors for prostitution." What is actually alleged in par. 15 is the following: "Defendant EPSTEIN has made an agreement with the United States Attorney's Office to not contest liability for claims brought exclusively + +'See also & Gillespie Management LLC v. Lexington Ins. Co. 2008 WL 4826115, 1 (M.D. Fla. 2008) — "[t]he Court 'may take notice of proceedings in other courts, both within and without the federal judicial system, if those proceedings have a direct relation to matters at issue.' St. 1.214,1, Baptist Temple, Inc. v. FDIC, 605 F.2d 1169, 1172 (10th Cir.1979); accord Conev v. =, 738 F.2d 1199, 1200 (11th Cir.1984). Counsel should be given notice of and an opportunity to be heard as to the propriety of taking judicial notice. Fed.R.Civ.P. 201(e)." Here, Plaintiff filed the state court action and is, thusly, well of aware of its existence and details. + +pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 52255, in exchange for avoiding federal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. §2422(b), which provides a sentence of 10 years for each violation of the law." (See also p. 14 of MOL, where Plaintiff again misrepresents what is actually alleged in her Complaint). Not only does Plaintiff misrepresent what is alleged in her complaint, but she also ignores the fact that she chose to bring claims (in the first filed state court action) in addition to the 18 U.S.C. §2255 claim. Thus, there is no violation of the alleged agreement and EPSTEIN has not agreed to not contest liability (or jurisdiction); Plaintiff did not choose to proceed exclusively under §2255. + +Accordingly, it is well within this Court's discretion to require that Plaintiff bring her §2255 claim in the previously filed state court action. + +Point 2. The issue of the applicable version of 18 U.S.C. 42265 is properly raised at this time as Plaintiff alleged in her complaint that the 2006 version applies to conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. (pp. 7 — 13, Plaintiff's MOL). + +Contrary to Plaintiff's assertion, what version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 is appropriately raised in Defendant's motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs complaint attempts to allege a cause of action based on the 2006 amended version of the statute. As discussed in Defendant's motion, it is Defendant's position that Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action thereunder as she is improperly bringing her claim under the 2006 amended version instead of the statute in effect at the time of the complained of conduct, the 2005 version. Related to the issue of what version of §2255 applies to this action is Plaintiffs improper attempt to multiply the presumptive minimum of actual damages, (\$50,000 under the 2005 statute; \$150,000 under the 2006 amended version), based on the number of incidents alleged, notwithstanding that the plain language of the statute + +does not provide for a multiplier and speaks in terms of "personal injury" suffered and "actual damages." + +Supporting the fact that Defendant properly raised these issues in his motion to dismiss are the allegations set forth in Plaintiff's complaint. In paragraph 11, Jane Doe II alleges that — "From about June, 2003 until about February, 2005, Defendants, EPSTEIN and persuaded, induced, or enticed Plaintiff to come to Defendant EPSTEIN's home and provide Defendant EPSTEIN with 'massages' ... ." In paragraph 13, Plaintiff further alleges — "In violation of §2422(b), Defendants EPSTEIN and knowingly persuaded, induced, or enticed the Plaintiff to engage in acts of prostitution, when the Plainitff was undr the age of 18, approximately on or about the following dates that Plaintiff can document based on payments received: 6/16/03, 7/2/03, 4/9/04, 6/7/04, 7/30/04, 8/30/04, 10/9/04, 10/12/04 and 11/9/04. In paragraph 14, Plaintiff alleges — "Plaintiff seeks damages for personal injury in accordance with 18 U.S.C. §2255(a) for each of the acts of prostitution set forth above which Defendants solicited her, \$150,000 for each violation, for a total range of damages between \$1.5 million dollars and \$4.5 million dollars, jointly and severally, and a reasonable attorney's fees and costs, as permitted by the statute." + +Plaintiff chooses to analyze whether the statute in effect at the time of the alleged conduct or the amended statute applies under a procedural versus substantive analysis. Plaintiff, in short, argues that "the change in the civil remedies available of a statute is a procedural, not a substantive change in the law, and procedural changes to a statute are routinely applied retroactively." (MOL, p. 9). Clearly , the change to the statute was + +not a procedural one. As discussed more fully in Defendant's motion to dismiss, the statutory scheme enacted and amended under "Masha's Law" is consitently referred to as criminal penalties and punishments directed at those who sexually exploit and abuse minors. + +Also, Plaintiff ignores the axiom that courts generally apply the statute in effect at the time of the underlying conduct unless there is a clear statement that an amendment is to apply retroactively to prior conduct. See, e.g., Hughes Aircraft Co. v. U.S. ex rel Schumer 520 U.S. 939, 952 (1997)("Given the absence of a clear statutory expression of congressional intent to apply the 1986 amendment to conduct competed before its enactment, we ... hold that, under the relevant 1982 version of the [statute], the District court was obliged to dismiss the action."). There is absolutely no expression of any intent that the amended version of the statute is to apply retroactively. This lack of clear of expression can be contrasted with those statutory enactments or amendments where such intent is clearly expressed by including language to the effect that the amendment applies in proceedings "commenced on or after the date of enactment." See generally, Tello v. Witter Inc 410 F.3d 1275, 1282- 1283 (11th Cir. 2005). + +In Tello v. Witter Inc., 410 F.3d 1275, 1283 (111h Cir. 2005), this Circuit discussed in detail the presumption against retroactivity where there is no clear expression that a statute is to apply retroactively in the text. In amending §2255, there does not exist any statement by Congress of its unambiguous intention that the statute apply retroactively to pre-enactment conduct. The Tello Court's analysis is worth + +quoting as it confirms and supports that an amendment to a statute, such as in the instant case – increasing the penalty or liability for damages by at least triple fold, or under Plaintiff's analysis, by 90 times from \$50,000 to \$4.5 million! - and with no expression that it is to apply retroactively – will not be interpreted to apply retroactively. + +Congress may prescribe the temporal reach of a statute by stating that it applies to pre-enactment conduct, the first step in the *Landgraf* analysis, **or a statute may be silent regarding temporal reach, in which case courts apply the judicial presumption against retroactivity.** This presumption and analysis, however, are unwarranted when Congress states its unambiguous intention that the statute apply retroactively to pre-enactment conduct, in language comparable to § 1658(b), that the new or amended statute applies to proceedings commenced on or after enactment. See *Landgraf*, 511 U.S. at 259-60, 114 S.Ct. at 1494 (stating that, if had Congress intended retroactive application, then "it surely would have used language comparable to ... 'shall apply to all proceedings pending on or commenced after the date of enactment' ") (citation omitted); *accord INS v. St. Cyr*, 533 U.S. 289, 318-19 & n. 43, 121 S.Ct. 2271, 2289-90 & n. 43, 150 L.Ed.2d 347 (2001) (collecting examples of unambiguous temporal statutory language providing that the statute applies to actions filed "on or after" the date of enactment, which includes violative conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of the statute); [REDACTED] v. *Hadix*, 527 U.S. 343, 354, 119 S.Ct. 1998, 2004, 144 L.Ed.2d 347 (1999) (stating that " 'new provisions shall apply to all proceedings pending on or commenced after the date of enactment,' " referenced in *Landgraf*, "unambiguously addresses the temporal reach of the statute" (citation omitted)); *Lindh v. [REDACTED]* 521 U.S. 320, 329 n. 4, 117 S.Ct. 2059, 2064 n. 4, 138 L.Ed.2d 481 (1997) (recognizing from *Landgraf* that statutory language such as, " '[This Act] shall apply to all proceedings pending on or commenced after the date of enactment of this Act,' " " might possibly have qualified as a clear statement for retroactive effect" (quoting *Landgraf*, 511 U.S. at 260, 114 S.Ct. at 1494)); *Rivers v. Roadway Express, Inc.*, 511 U.S. 298, 307-08, 114 S.Ct. 1510, 1517, 128 L.Ed.2d 274 (1994) (noting that the subject statute omitted a provision in the bill that the amendment " 'shall apply to all proceedings pending on or commenced after' " a fixed date and describing the bill as containing "express retroactivity provisions"). ... + +Unlike other statutory enactments or amendments (cited above) where Congress unambiguously expressed its intent regarding retroactive application, there is no expression with respect to Masha's Law, the 2006 amended version of §2255. An + +example where Congress expressed its intent regarding retroactivity was when it enacted an expanded sex-offender registry ("SORNA") meant to bolster tracking of convicted sex offenders, like Masha's Law, also enacted as part of the Adam Walsh Act. See Pub.L. 109-248 §§1-155, 120 Stat. 587, 590-611 (2006). Congress recognized that applying expanded version of SORNA to past offenders would raise retroactivity concerns, and therefore, expressly addressed the concern — + +The Attorney General shall have the authority to specify the applicability of the requirements of this subchapter to sex offenders convicted before July 27, 2006 or its implementation in a particular jurisdiction, and to prescribe rules for the registration of any such sex offenders. 42 U.S.C. §16913(d). + +As the Supreme Court and this Circuit have long observed, "where Congress includes particular language in one section of a statute but it omits it in another section of the same Act, it is generally presumed that Congress acts intentionally and purposefully in disparate inclusion or exclusion." U.S. v. Jordan, 915 F.2d 622, 628 (11th Cir. 1990), quoting Rodriguez v. U.S. 480 U.S. 522, 525 (1987). In this case, there is no basis for departing from this well established rule. The only evidence regarding §2255, as amended 2006, is that Congress did not intend it to apply retroactively, and, accordingly, the 2005 version of the statute applies. + +Accordingly, under well established legal principles, the statute in effect at the time of the alleged conduct applies, not the amended version. + +Point 3. 18 U.S.C. §2255 does not allow Plaintiff assert multiple claims against a Defendant in an effort to multiply the presumptive actual damages minimum. fpp. 14-15, Plaintiffs MOL). + +Plaintiff cites to no case law in support of its nonsensical view that §2255 allows them to multiply the presumptive damages amount on a per incident basis. As + +discussed in Part III, A. of Defendant's motion to dismiss, unlike other statutes, there is absolutely no language in the statute that suggest that the presumptive damages amount is subject to multiplication on a per violation/incident basis. The statute on its face speaks in terms of "actual damages" and "personal injury suffered." + +The recent case of United States v. Berdeal 595 F.Supp.2d 1326 (S.D. Fla. 2009), further supports Defendant's argument that the "rule of lenity," (Part. III.C. of Defendant's motion), requires that the Court resolve the statutory interpretation conflict in favor of Defendant. Assuming for the sake of argument that Plaintiffs multiple causes of action, leading to a multiplication of the statutory damages amount, is a reasonable interpretation, like Defendant's reasonable interpretation, under the "rule of lenity," any ambiguity is resolved in favor of the least draconian measure. In Berdeal, applying the rule of lenity, the Court sided with the Defendants' interpretation of the Lacey Act which makes illegal the possession of snook caught in specified jurisdictions. The snook had been caught in Nicaraguan waters. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss asserting the statute did not encompass snook caught in foreign waters. The United States disagreed. Both sides presented reasonable interpretations regarding the reach of the statute. In dismissing the indictment, the Court determined that the rule of lenity required it to accept defendants' interpretation. + +Point 4. Point 4 is required to be stricken as Plaintiff attempts to argue facts not alleged In the Complaint, and misrepresents what is alleged in the Complaint. + +Point 4 of Plaintiffs MOL, p. 15-17, is required to be stricken as it not only argues facts outside of the four corners of the complaint, but it continues to misrepresent what is actually alleged in paragraph 15 of Plaintiffs complaint. See discussion under "Point + +1" above herein. Rather than address the deficiencies of her Complaint, Plaintiff attempts to argue the merits of her case by asserting what the evidence may (or may not) show. If Plaintiff is seeking to reallege her claims, she should do so by proper procedure requesting she be allowed to amend. The discussion in Point 4 addresses none of the arguments in Defendant's motion to dismiss and should be stricken. Rule 12(f), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2009). Defendant stands on its position that Plaintiff has failed to sufficiently plead the requisite predicate acts as set forth in his motion to dismiss. + +Point 5. Plaintiff has failed to plead the requisite predicate acts or any conspiracy to commit such acts. (MOL, pp 17-18). + +Finally, Plaintiff has failed to allege under the Twombly standard of pleading sufficient facts to allege the underlying predicate acts required by §2255. See Part III. B and C of Defendant's motion. + +WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that this Court grant his motion to dismiss and strike. + +> By: ROBERT . CRITTON, JR., ESQ.

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 investigator(s) 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. M, 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 Plaintiffs' 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 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. 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 (██████████ 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_108.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-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750525/EFTA02750525.metadata.json b/marker2/court-doe-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750525/EFTA02750525.metadata.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6f36689c862efbfa89962179e155644c6155ba41 --- /dev/null +++ b/marker2/court-doe-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750525/EFTA02750525.metadata.json @@ -0,0 +1,258 @@ +{ + "source_pdf": "/home/robbd/my/apps/epstein-index/data/raw/court-doe-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750525.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": 13384, + "elapsed_seconds": 12.81, + "image_assets": [ + "_page_4_Picture_108.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, + 63.99000000000001 + ], + [ + 443.5374755859375, + 63.99000000000001 + ], + [ + 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. + +I invite you to visit our project in action. + +Sincerely, + +JAYS. PARTIES, Ed.D.

PLAINTIFFS JANE DOES 2-7'S RESPONSE TO 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", WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW + +Plaintiffs, JANE DOES 2-7, hereby serve their Response to 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", With Incorporated Memorandum of Law, and state as follows: + +- I. 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", II 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 "[w]ithout prompting or suggestion; on its own motion." Black's Law Dictionary 1437 (7th ed.1999). Thus, the definition of sua sporue 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 + +#### I. 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. M, 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 plaintiff's 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 "[d]tie 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" atll 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 plaintiffs 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.

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.

Jane Doe 4 understood this to mean that had exchanged private information about Jane Doe 4 with Defendant Epstein and his attorneys.

LEGAL STANDARD + +Defendant's motion to dismiss must be denied unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of her claims that would entitle her to relief. Conley v. , 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957). The Court must accept all of plaintiffs factual allegations as true. Schuer v. 416 U.S. 232 (1974). Rule 8(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a complaint need only be "a short and plain statement of the claim," and as long as the pleadings "give defendant fair notice of what the plaintiffs claim is and the grounds upon which it rests," notice pleading has been satisfied. Conley v. 355 U.S. at 47. For a claim to state a cause of action however, facts, not labels and conclusions must be asserted. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly 550 U.S. 544 (2007) + +# II. ARGUMENT + +Point 1. Plaintiff has every right to proceed in State court for a Florida common law claim, and in this Court for a federal claim. + +Defendant EPSTEIN's argument on this point is frivolous. Plaintiff's claims in State court are based on the common law of Florida, while the federal claims are based on a federal statutory remedy.2 There are different facts that prove each claim and different elements to the claims. Defendant seems to be arguing that the Plaintiff forfeits a right to a federal remedy when she invokes a parallel, but independent and wholly distinct right to a State remedy. That is simply not supported by any case or reasonable interpretation of any case. The lynchpin of Defendant's argument is that concurrent jurisdiction is available to hear + +On a Motion to Dismiss, the Court is of course confined to the four corners of the Complaint, and it is completely improper for the Defendant to attach as Exhibits copies of a Complaint from a different proceeding, a fact that is not alleged anywhere in the Complaint at issue before this Court. Nevertheless because the Defendant's argument on this issue is meritless, Plaintiff addresses it on the merits. + +all claims in one forum; that is simply not the case, since the state claims are vastly different than the federal statutory remedy. If the State claims had been filed in this Court, this Court would not be obligated to exercise concurrent jurisdiction. It is well established that the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction is discretionary with the court, and is properly rejected under many circumstances.3 + +28 U.S.C. §1367, "supplemental jurisdiction," provides that: + +- C)) The district courts may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim under subsection (a) if-- + - (1) the claim raises a novel or complex issue of State law, +- (2) the claim substantially predominates over the claim or claims over which the district court has original jurisdiction, +- (3) the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction, or +- (4) in exceptional circumstances, there are other compelling reasons for declining jurisdiction. + +Courts routinely "are obligated to raise and decide issues of subject matterjurisdiction sua sponte any time it appears subject matter jurisdiction is absent." Carias v. Lenox Financial Mortgage Corporation 2008 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 20345 \*1 (N.D. Cal. March 5, 2008). In Carias after granting summary judgment on the sole federal claim, the Court remanded the State claims to state court, stating: "The Court declines to exercise pendent jurisdiction over the state law claims and remands the action to state court. The Court finds + +In United Mine Workers v. Gibbs 383 U.S. 715 (1966), a jury's verdict against a union based on State law claims was reversed, in part, because the federal law claim failed. The Court noted that: "It has consistently been recognized that pendent jurisdiction is a doctrine of discretion, not of plaintiff's right. Its justification lies in considerations of judicial economy, convenience and fairness to litigants; if these are not present a federal court should hesitate to exercise jurisdiction over state claims, even though bound to apply state law to them, Erie R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64.Needless decisions of state law [by a federal court] should be avoided both as a matter of comity and to promote justice between the parties, by procuring for them a surer-footed reading of applicable law." + +that the issues of economy, convenience, fairness and comity collectively weigh in favor of remand. See Harrell 934 F.2d at 205. Comity weighs especially strong, given that the remaining claims are pure state law claims with no connection to federal law. Economy also weighs in favor of remand as state courts are better equipped to efficiently handle state law claims." Id. at \*5-6 (emphasis added). In Daimler Chrysler Corporation v. Charlotte Cuno 547 U.S. 332, 351-52 (2006) the Supreme Court stated: + +> Gibbs held that federal-question jurisdiction over a claim may authorize a federal court to exercise jurisdiction over state-law claims that may be viewed as part of the same case because they "derive from a common nucleus of operative fact" as the federal claim. 383 U.S., at 725, 86 S. Ct. 1130, 16 L. Ed. 2d 218. Plaintiffs assume that Gibbs stands for the proposition that federal jurisdiction extends to all claims sufficiently related to a claim within Article III to be part of the same case, regardless of the nature of the deficiency that would keep the former claims out of federal court if presented on their own. + +> Our general approach to the application of Gibbs, however, has been markedly more cautious. For example, as a matter of statutory construction of the pertinent jurisdictional provisions, we refused to extend Gibbs to allow claims to be asserted against nondiverse parties when jurisdiction was based on diversity, see Owen Equipment & Erection Co. v. Kroger, 437 U.S. 365, 98 S. Ct. 2396, 57 L. Ed. 2d 274 (1978), and we refused to extend Gibbs to authorize supplemental jurisdiction over claims that do not satisfy statutory amount-in-controversy requirements, see Finley v. United States, 490 U.S. 545, 109 S. Ct. 2003, 104 L. Ed. 2d 593 (1989). As the Court explained just last Term, "we have not . . . applied Gibbs' expansive interpretive approach to other aspects of the jurisdictional statutes." Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Servs., 545 U.S. 546, 553, 125 S. Ct. 2611, 162 L. Ed. 2d 502 (2005) (applying 28 U.S.C. § 1367, enacted in 1990, to allow a federal court in a diversity action to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over additional diverse plaintiffs whose claims failed to meet the amount-in-controversy threshold). + +> What we have never done is apply the rationale of Gibbs to permit a federal court to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over a claim that does not itself satisfy those elements of the Article III inquiry, such as constitutional standing, that "serve to identify those disputes which are appropriately resolved through the judicial process." Whitmore, 495 U.S., at 155, 158, 110 S. Ct. 1717, 109 L. Ed. 2d 135. + +(Emphasis added) + +Defendant's argument that the Court should abstain from deciding the purely federal issues in this case because there is an independent action under State law is absurd. For this argument the Defendant relies on the Colorado River abstention doctrine, clearly inapplicable to this case. Only in "exceptional" circumstances, to promote conservation of judicial resources and comprehensive disposition of litigation, would a federal court be authorized to dismiss federal parallel's claims because of the pendency of state law claims that are initiated in state court. Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States 424 U.S. 800 (1976). However, for the Colorado River doctrine to even apply, there must be clear Congressional direction that would preclude a federal court's "virtually unflagging obligation ...to exercise federal jurisdiction." it at 817. In that case, the Supreme Court found that clear Congressional direction from the McCarran Amendment, which the Court read to counsel against "piecemeal litigation" concerning issues of water rights in a river system, favored abstention Id. at 819. Even with this clear Congressional direction, if other factors had not favored abstention, it may not have been ordered. id, at 820. + +'The federal claims that are the subject matter of this action are not necessarily parallel to the State law claims, although the incidents that gave rise to both the federal and state claims arise from the same series of events. A Florida appellate court, for example, has refused to apply principles of res judicata to bar State discrimination claims after the plaintiff lost federal discrimination claims. l= v. National Property & Casualty Underwriters 659 So. 2d 1214 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995) (adverse judgment against plaintiff in federal court for federal discrimination claims did not bar subsequent action under state discrimination laws). Here, although some of the elements for some of the claims may be similar, they are sufficiently different that application of would preclude res judicata. To determine whether a case is parallel, courts have looked to whether the same issues are being litigated. Calvert Fire Ins. Co. v. American Mut. Reins. Co. 600 F.2d 1228, 1229, n. 1 (7th Cir. 1979); the issues in the State court and in this Court are not the same. + +Defendant EPSTEIN does not offer any evidence of any Congressional direction that would direct this Court to abstain from hearing claims under 18 U.S.C. §2255.6 Further, the Colorado River doctrine only applies when federal courts are presented with "difficult questions of state law bearing on policy problems of substantial public import whose importance transcends the result in the case at bar."

In that case, a bare majority of one held upheld the District Court's decision to abstain, however, Justice Blackmun, in casting the deciding vote, did so because he was of the opinion that the remedy sought (mandamus) was premature, since the Appellate Court which had reversed the District Court, should have simply directed it to reconsider the issue in light of the very limited circumstances under which abstention is appropriate under the Colorado River doctrine.

Colorado River has been applied where the plaintiff is pursuing federal civil rights claims in state and federal courts, at the same time, which is not the case here. See for example: Atchinson v. Nelson 460 F. Supp. 1102 (D. Wyo. 1978).

left to the sound discretion of the District Court, the Eleventh Circuit has abolished its application for claims predicated on 42 U.S.C.§1983. Alacare. Inc. v.Bagiano, 785 F. 2d 963 (11th Cir. 1986);See also: Tovar v. Billmeyer 609 F. 2d 1291 (9th Cir. 1979) (rejecting application of abstention in Section 1983 cases). Defendant cites no cases where the Colorado River doctrine has been applied to a federal claim under §2255. The cases cited by Defendant EPSTEIN do not support a decision by this Court to abstain over what is a purely federal claim. In American Bankers Ins. Co. v. First State Ins. Co. 891 F.2d 882 (111h Cir. 1990), the District Court dismissed a purely state law claim for equitable subrogation because there had been an earlier claim for declaratory relief in State Court; the Eleventh Circuit reversed, concluding

...that no exceptional circumstances require dismissal of this case in deference to the pending state court proceeding. If it were simply a question of judicial economy, this litigation probably should proceed in the New York court. A federal court cannot properly decline to exercise its statutory jurisdiction, however, simply because judicial economy might be served by deferring to a state court. Federal courts have a 'virtually unflagging obligation' to exercise the jurisdiction given them.' Colorado River 424 U.S. at 816, 96 S. Ct. at 1246. The interest in preserving federal jurisdiction mandates that this action not be dismissed.

891 F.2d at 886.

Point 2. The retroactivity of the amendments to §2255 is not appropriately addressed in a motion to dismiss; but if the Court is so inclined to consider it, there are insufficient facts pled in the Complaint to render the 2006 amendments inapplicable to the case at bar.

The only issue properly before the Court is whether the Complaint states a cause of action. ¶14 of the Complaint claims that the Plaintiff is entitled to the sum of \$150,000 for each event wherein Defendant EPSTEIN solicited the Plaintiff for prostitution. Each event

is set forth in the Complaint in ¶13.' There are two related issues before the Court: 1) the amount of minimum damages recoverable, \$50,000, or \$150,000; and, 2) whether the Plaintiff can recover the minimum amount of damages for each temporally distinct event, or whether she is restricted to a single recovery of the minimum damages recoverable under the statute.

For the first issue, it is Plaintiffs position that the matter cannot be decided on a motion to dismiss, because what Defendant EPSTEIN is asking the Court to do is to declare, prematurely, that when the Court instructs the jury, it instruct them that the minimum recovery for the Plaintiff, if she proves the allegations, is either \$50,000 (for the entire set of events, Defendant EPSTEIN's position) or \$150,000 for each event (Plaintiffs position); this issue cannot be settled on a motion to dismiss, but is better reserved for the charging conference at trial. On the second issue, as will be addressed later, under the plain language of the statute, since Defendant EPSTEIN can be criminally prosecuted for each temporally distinct event where he solicited this minor for prostitution, he can be subjected to the civil remedy for damages for each such event, under either version of the statute. This second issue would be better addressed on a summary judgment motion, and again, has nothing to do with whether Plaintiff has pled a cause of action pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), Fed. R. Civ. P.

Plaintiff agrees with the general proposition that a new law that creates new

Plaintiff alleges that Defendant EPSTEIN, or others working on his behalf, solicited the Plaintiff for prostitution, while she was a minor, on "6/16/03, 7/2/03, 4/9/04, 6/7/04, 7/30/04, 8/30/04, 10/9/04, 10/12/04, 10/30/04 and 11/9/04. In addition, Plaintiff believes that there were as many as 10 to 20 other occasions during this time frame that Defendant EPSTEIN solicited her and procured her to perform prostitution services, all during the time that she was a minor."

substantive rights, absent Congressional direction to the contrary, does not have retroactive effect, but this is not a new law. §2255 was amended in 2006, to, inter alia, provide an enhanced minimum recovery for damages caused by sexual predators such as Defendant EPSTEIN. However, the change in the civil remedies available is a procedural, not a substantive change in the law, and procedural changes to a statute are routinely applied retroactively.8 Where substantive changes in a law are made by Congress, a slim majority of the Supreme Court has declined retroactive application, even where the law was ostensibly enacted to overrule a Court precedent that had itself, in the view of Congress, overruled earlier Court precedents. Rivers v. Roadway Express 511 U.S. 298, 308 (1994)Y

-Defendant EPSTEIN also cites to United States v. Siegel 153 F.3d 1256 (11'" Cir. 1998), wherein, based on a defendant's inability to pay restitution mandated by a penal statute, the Court reversed a restitution order. An amendment to the statute removed from consideration the defendant's ability to pay restitution; the Court said such an amendment could not be applied retroactively because the provision amounted to a punishment under a penal statute, and would violate the ex post facto provision in the U. S. Constitution, This case is clearly distinguished from our case: the statute here is a civil, not a penal remedy; the amendment to the statute modifies the minimal exposure of the Defendant if the Plaintiff otherwise proves her claim, but does not, as in the Siegel case, dispense with a substantive defense to restitution, as occurred in Siegel. See: United States v. Whiting, 165 F.3d 631 (8'" Cir. 1999), where a conviction for possession of child pomography was upheld, despite the fact that the conduct of the defendant was arguably not specifically proscribed by statute at the time the images were possessed; the Court held the legislative amendment was a mere clarification of the prior legislation and not an ex post facto law.

Justice Scalia cited the statement of purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, to hold that, for example, the amendments specifically designed to overrule Patterson v. McLean Credit Union 491 U.S. 164, 105 L. Ed. 2d 132, 109 S. Ct. 2363, should be applied prospectively only, based on a statutorily expressed Congressional intent to do so: "The statute that was actually enacted in 1991 contains no comparable language. Instead of a reference to 'restoring' pre-existing rights, its statement of purposes describes the Act's function as 'expanding the scope of relevant civil rights statutes in order to provide adequate protection to victims of discrimination.' 1991 Act, § 3(4), 105 Stat. 1071 (emphasis added)."

Similarly, in the companion case of Landgraf v. Usi Film Prods. 511 U.S. 244, 275, n. 28 (1994), the Court declined to retroactively apply substantive changes to Title VII cases, but noted that

While we have strictly construed the Ex Post Facto Clause to prohibit application of new statutes creating or increasing punishments after the fact, we have upheld intervening procedural changes even if application of the new rule operated to a defendant's disadvantage in the particular case. See e. g. Dobbert v. Florida 432 U.S. 282, 293-294, 53 L. Ed. 2d 344, 97 S. Ct. 2290 (1977)• see also v. Youngblood 497 U.S. 37, 111 L. Ed. 2d 30, 110 S. Ct. 2715 (1990); Beazell v. Ohio 269 U.S. 167, 70 L. Ed. 216, 46 S. Ct. 68 (1925).

The question becomes then is an increase in the minimum guaranteed damages of a civil remedy statute a substantive or a procedural change? A careful reading of Landsgraf compels a finding that it is a procedural change only that must be given retroactive application. Although the Landsgraf Court declined to give retroactive application to the change most analogous to the one at issue here, it did so because it found the newly created right to compensatory damages, previously not available under Title VII, and made available by the Civil Rights Act of 1991, was in effect the creation of a new statute:

The provision of § 102(a)(1) authorizing the recovery of compensatory damages is not easily classified. It does not make unlawful conduct that was lawful when it occurred; as we have noted, supra, 511 U.S. at 252-255, § 102 only reaches discriminatory conduct already prohibited by Title VII. Concems about a lack of fair notice are further muted by the fact that such discrimination was in many cases (although not this one) already subject to monetary liability in the form of backpay. Nor could anyone seriously contend that the compensatory damages provisions smack of a "retributive" or other suspect legislative purpose. Section 102 reflects Congress' desire to afford victims of discrimination more complete redress for violations of rules established more than a generation ago in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. At least with respect to its compensatory damages provisions, then, § 102 is not in a category in which objections to retroactive application on grounds of faimess have their greatest force.

Nonetheless, the new compensatory damages provision would operate "retrospectively" if it were applied to conduct occurring before November 21, 1991. Unlike certain other forms of relief, compensatory damages are quintessentially backward looking. Compensatory damages may be intended less to sanction wrongdoers than to make victims whole, but they do so by a mechanism that affects the liabilities of defendants. They do not "compensate" by distributing funds from the public coffers, but by requiring particular employers to pay for harms they caused. The introduction of a right to compensatory damages is also the type of legal change that would have an impact on private parties' planning. In this case, the event to which the new damages provision relates is the discriminatory conduct of respondents' agent John [REDACTED]; if applied here, that provision would attach an important new legal burden to that conduct. The new damages remedy in § 102, we conclude, is the kind of provision that does not apply to events antedating its enactment in the absence of clear congressional intent.

In cases like this one, in which prior law afforded no relief, § 102 can be seen as creating a new cause of action, and its impact on parties' rights is especially pronounced. Section 102 confers a new right to monetary relief on persons like petitioner who were victims of a hostile work environment but were not constructively discharged, and the novel prospect of damages liability for their employers. Because Title VII previously authorized recovery of backpay in some cases, and because compensatory damages under § 102(a) are in addition to any backpay recoverable, the new provision also resembles a statute increasing the amount of damages available under a preestablished cause of action. Even under that view, however, the provision would, if applied in cases arising before the Act's effective date, undoubtedly impose on employers found liable a "new disability" in respect to past events. See Society for Propagation of the Gospel, 22 F. Cas. at 767. 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. Neither in [REDACTED] itself, nor in any case before or since in which Congress had not clearly spoken, have we read a statute substantially increasing the monetary liability of a private party to apply to conduct occurring before the statute's enactment. See Winfree v. Northern Pacific R. Co., 227 U.S. 296, 301, 57 L. Ed. 518, 33 S. Ct. 273 (1913) (statute creating new federal cause of action for wrongful death inapplicable to case arising before enactment in absence of "explicit words" or "clear implication"); United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. v. United States ex rel. Struthers Wells Co., 209 U.S. 306, 314-315 (1908) (construing statute restricting subcontractors' rights to recover damages from prime contractors as prospective in absence of "clear, strong and imperative" language from Congress favoring retroactivity).

Id. at 281-86 [footnotes omitted].

Here, we have an increase in the proscribed minimum recovery, if the claim is otherwise proven, but it was a damages remedy that already existed at the time of Defendant EPSTEIN's commission of the acts against the minor. Hence, here, unlike Landsgraf there was an existing civil remedy prior to Defendant EPSTEIN's commission of the acts against the minor Plaintiff, and there continues to be such a remedy. Similar to our fact situation here in v. School Bd. of Richmond, 416 U.S. 696, 40 L. Ed. 2d 476, 94 S. Ct. 2006 (1974), where a unanimous Court applied an intervening statute authorizing an award of attorney's fees for parties seeking to end school segregation, to a case pending on appeal at the time the statute was enacted. Noting that the statute created an "additional basis or source for the Board's potential obligation to pay attorneys' fees," 416 U.S. at 721, the Court found that the statute's retroactive application did not adversely affect the settled expectations of the parties. It is difficult to imagine, particularly when the Court is contemplating a motion to dismiss, that Defendant EPSTEIN had a "settled expectation" that if and when he was caught for solicitation of minors for prostitution he would be liable for only a minimum of \$50,000; it is highly probable that he never believed he would be caught and he never knew of or contemplated the civil penalties he would face under §2255. It is highly unlikely that Defendant EPSTEIN made those calculations when he committed the crimes against this or any other minor. Hence the rationale usually advanced for prospective application of statutory enactments is simply not present here, and the record is devoid of any factual material that would support such a conclusion.10 As Justice Blackmun said in

Although outside the pleadings and not appropriate for consideration on a Motion to Dismiss, Defendant EPSTEIN has refused to answer any substantive questions in the only two (2) depositions he has given in all these cases, including in the State court case involving this Plaintiff. Accordingly, Plaintiff has not been able to

dissent in Landsgraf there is no vested right to break the law."

Bottom line is, a motion to dismiss a claim is not the correct procedural mechanism to determine the retroactivity of a statute. Landsgraf was decided after a trial on the merits of the claim, wherein the trial court determined that although the sexual harassment was serious, the employer, upon learning of it, had taken prompt remedial measures to correct it, and the plaintiff did not have sufficient cause to warrant quitting her job. Id. at 247-48. Rivers v. Roadway Express 511 U.S. 298 (1994) was decided after a trial on the merits as well, wherein the Court dismissed the 1981 claims based on the holding in Patterson slime and exonerated the Defendant on the Title VII claims in a bench trial. On appeal, the plaintiff sought relief under the 1991 Civil Rights Act amendments, which overruled Patterson. These cases where in a much different procedural posture than the present case, and the law that is applicable, including the raise of the minimum cap to \$150,000, was in place well before this suit was filed.

Point 3. 18 U.S.C. §2255 permits a claim for each temporally distinct event.

ascertain whether Defendant EPSTEIN had settled expectations about the limits of his civil liability under §2255.

"At no time within the last generation has an employer had a vested right to engage in or to permit xual harassment; 'there is no such thing as a vested right to do wrong.' Freeborn v. , 69 U.S. 160, 2 Wall. 160, 175, 17 L. Ed. 922 (1865). See also 2 N. , Sutherland on Statutory Construction § 41.04, p. 349 (4th rev. ed. 1986) (procedural and remedial statutes that do not take away vested rights are presumed to apply to pending actions). Section 102 of the Act expands the remedies available for acts of intentional discrimination, but does not alter the scope of the employee's basic right to be free from discrimination or the employers corresponding legal duty. There is nothing unjust about holding an employer responsible for injuries caused by conduct that has been illegal for almost 30 years." Id. at 297. Similarly in this case, soliciting minors for acts of prostitution, has been unlawful and the civil remedy associated therewith has long preceded the acts in question.

(a) In general. Any person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section 2241©), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423 of this title [18 USCS § 2241©), 2242, 2243, 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2260, 2421, 2422, or 2423] 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 as described in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less than \$ 150,000 in value.

The statute makes reference to "a violation" and "such violation," both references being in the singular. The statute does not say that if there are multiple violations, the Plaintiff is limited to a single recovery for all the violations that occur. Such a construction would due violence to the plain language of the statute and common sense. For example, if a person such as Defendant EPSTEIN engages in videotaping a sex act with a minor on Monday, and follows suit on Wednesday, there are potentially two separate crimes, and potentially two separate torts which give rise to two separate claims upon which recovery may be had. Plaintiff has alleged that Defendant EPSTEIN violated the statute on 10 confirmed occasions and up to 20 additional occasions. Each date for each violation is different. There is no language in the statute that prohibits the Plaintiff from suing for each violation, and the dicta set forth in Tilton v. Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc., 554 F. 3d 1371 (11'" Cir. 2009), vaguely noting that the District Court awarded the Plaintiff "the minimum 'actual damages'", Id. at 1379, does not support Defendant's claim that the Plaintiff is entitled to a single lump sum recovery for each temporally distinct violation. There is no suggestion in this Opinion that the Plaintiff was so limited, no reference to whether Plaintiff sought the relief being sought here or that the events complained of in Tilton occurred on multiple occasions. In fact, it appears clear from the Opinion that the pro se Defendant that

the Plaintiff prevailed against (by default) was sued for a singular violation of recording the Plaintiffs sexually oriented performance at a Spring Break gathering. There is no indication that the conduct that was recorded by the defaulted Defendant occurred on multiple occasions.

Point 4. The Eleventh Circuit has foreclosed Defendant EPSTEIN's argument that for a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2422(b) to occur, he must travel in interstate commerce.

In United States v. Yost 479 F.3d 815 (111h Cir. 2007), a defendant was convicted of two counts of attempting to induce persons he believed were minors (they were government agents posing as minors) to commit acts of prostitution under 18 U.S.C. §2422(b); he sought to void his convictions on appeal because he didn't get to the meeting place. The Court rejected the argument, holding:

We are not convinced by Yost's argument that his failure to arrive at the meeting place precludes a finding of a substantial step. Although this is the first time we have been confronted with an attempt conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) where travel is not involved, two other circuits have examined the issue and determin travel is not necessary to sustain such a conviction. In United States v. , 228 F.3d 637, 639-40 (6th Cir. 2000), the Sixth Circuit affirmed a conviction under Section 2422(b) where the defendant sent e-mails proposing oral sex and attempted to set up meetin s with minor females, albeit unsuccessfully. Similarly, in United States v. , 410 F.3d 1235, 1246 (10th Cir. 2005), the Tenth Circuit affirmed a Section 2422(b) attempt conviction, despite a lack of evidence of travel. The Tenth Circuit stated: crossed the line from 'harmless banter' to inducement the moment he began making arrangements to meet [the minor], notwithstanding the lack of evidence that he traveled to the supposed meeting place." Id. Viewing the totality of Yost's actions, we likewise conclude Yost crossed thpSe from mere "talk" to inducement. In addition to his online chats with =I, Yost called on the telephone, posted pictures of his genitalia online, and made arrangements to meet her. Despite a lack of evidence of travel, the totality of Yost's actions convinces us that a reasonable jury could have found Yost committed a substantial step.

Id. at 820.

As a practical matter, although not pled, the manner in which Defendant EPSTEIN solicited Plaintiff to commit acts of prostitution as alleged was by telephone, by use of one of his surrogate "assistants," in this case Defendant .12 Plaintiff would receive a phone call on her cell phone (with a 561 exchange) from the cell phone of Defendant who used a cell phone with a New York exchange (917 area code). In United States v. Drury, 396 F.3d 1303 (11th Cir. 2005), the Court had to determine whether a murder for hire conviction, where the defendant made calls from a Georgia land line to a federal agent posing as a hit man on a cell phone that routed calls through Jacksonville, was sufficient to establish use of interstate commerce for commission of the crime in question. The Court affirmed the conviction, even where there was no intent to use an instrumentality of interstate commerce, since the Defendant believed he was calling a number in Georgia.

In this case, the facts will demonstrate that for 99 per cent of the solicitations for prostitution, Plaintiff was called by Defendant , who used her cell phone with a 917 exchange, a New York exchange, and presumably set up the event after being instructed by Defendant EPSTEIN when and at what time the Plaintiff should appear at his home for the sexual services he paid the Plaintiff for. Defendant resides and is believed to have resided in New York at all times relevant to this suit, although she was present at Defendant EPSTEIN's home on some of the occasions when the Plaintiff appeared after being summoned there. However, since she used a cellular phone, that is clearly a facility of interstate commerce as contemplated by 18 U.S.C. 2422(b), which encompasses conduct

where "any facility or means of interstate commerce" is used." The Eleventh Circuit has recognized that "[t]he telephone system is clearly a 'facility of interstate . . . commerce.'"

United States v. Covington 2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 8263 (11th Cir. April 22, 2009).

Point 5. Plaintiff has pled sufficient facts to establish a conspiracy to violate §2255.

A civil conspiracy is an agreement by two or more persons, to do an unlawful act or a lawful act by unlawful means, the doing of an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, resulting in damage to the Plaintiff. Walters v. Blankenship,931 So. 2d 137 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006); Blatt v. Horn, et al., 456 So. 2d 949 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1984).

To support her claim of a civil conspiracy, Plaintiff has pled the following:

9. Defendant EPSTEIN\_inacireement with two (2) persons he employed for this purpose, and Defendant conspired with these other two, and others, to solicit young women of the type Defendant EPSTEIN preferred, blonde, attractive in appearance, and younger than 18 years of age, to provide sexual gratification for him by engaging in acts of prostitution.

10. Defendants EPSTEIN and entered into a criminal conspiracy to solicit young women for acts of prostitution, including the Plaintiff, here in Palm Beach County.

11. From about June, 2003 until on or about , 2 0 0 5 , De f en d a n t s EPSTEIN and persuaded, induced, or enticed the Plaintiff to come to Defendant EPSTEIN's home and provide Defendant EPSTEIN with "massages" which escalated into sexual encounters between Defendant

"(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." (Emphasis added).

EPSTEIN and the Plaintiff designed to fulfill his unnatural sexual desires for young women or even younger girls who were minors. These acts included Defendant EPSTEIN's request that he wanted the encounter to be like a "porn video." Defendant EPSTEIN would script lines for the Plaintiff to say, including calling out his name and requesting that he perform a certain sexual act "harder,"while he touched the Plaintiffs vagina with a vibrator or with his fingers; alternately, he would masturbate in the presence of the Plaintiff after demanding her to disrobe and walk in front of him in provocative sexual poses. Defendant EPSTEIN would pay the Plaintiff a fee of \$200 on each occasion after he ejaculated while masturbating in the presence of the Plaintiff.

Plaintiff has pled the elements of a civil conspiracy to violate §2255.

CONCLUSION

Defendant's Motion to Dismiss must be denied. Plaintiffs Complaint states a cause of action pursuant to §2255. The Colorado River doctrine for abstention is not remotely applicable to this case, which is grounded on a purely federal statutory cause of action, and does not involve the type of policy concerns present there (water rights). It is inappropriate for the Defendant to seek to limit his minimum statutory exposure on a Motion to Dismiss, where there is no factual record or legislative history to determine the retroactivity of an enhanced damages provision to a cause of action and a civil remedy that existed at the time of the wrongful acts. §2255 claims permit a Plaintiff to assert multiple claims for multiple violations that occur in temporally distinct time frames, no differently than any claim, whether based on tort or statutory law, that encompasses multiple events that occur at different times. On the interstate commerce issue, Plaintiff is prepared to allege, if the Court deems it necessary, how his employee and co-conspirator, Defendant used an instrumentality of interstate commerce, her cell phone, to solicit the Plaintiff, then a minor, on behalf of Defendant EPSTEIN who solicited her sexual services for money. Finally,

Plaintiff has pled all necessary elements to establish a civil conspiracy to violate §2255. For these reasons, Defendant EPSTEIN's Motion to Dismiss must be denied; however, if the Court determines otherwise, Plaintiff respectfully requests leave to amend.

There is good cause to set aside the default, because plaintiff did not make proper service under New York law. Alternatively, even if proper service was made, the time for a responsive pleading has not expired. + +Plaintiff did not execute proper service under New York law. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 states in pertinent part that a party 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." See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 (e)(I). Here, plaintiff asserts that service was effected under the New York law for personal service upon a natural person, specifically N.Y.C.P.L.R. §308(4). That law states that where personal service cannot be made, despite due diligence, substituted service can be made "by affixing the summons to the door of either the actual place of business, dwelling place or usual place of abode within the state of the person to be served and by either mailing the summons to such person 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." + +It further requires "such affixing and a mailing to be effected within twenty days of each other, proof of such service shall be filed with the clerk of the court designated in the summons within twenty days of either such affixing or mailing, whichever is effected later; service shall be complete 10 days after such filing, except in matrimonial actions." Plaintiff failed to comply with the requirements of the New York law. + +The Affidavit of Service states that the summons was delivered on April 25, 2009, to the doorman at a building where plaintiff allegedly has an apartment. It further states that the summons was mailed to that same address on April 29, 2009. The Affidavit of Service also summarizes the efforts made to effect personal service. Defendant contests that the efforts described in the Affidavit of Service constitute due diligence as required by the New York law, and that service upon the doorman was sufficient to satisfy the requirement that the summons be affixed to a dwelling place or usual place of abode. This Court need not reach these issues, however, because under any circumstance, plaintiff did not make proper service because she did not file the Affidavit of Service in this Court within twenty days of the mailing on April 29, 2009. Instead, the Affidavit of Service was filed in this Court on June 12, 2009, which was approximately 44 days after the mailing. By waiting 44 days to file the Affidavit of Service, plaintiff did not comply with the New York requirement that the proof of service "shall be filed with the clerk of court designated in the summons within twenty days of either such affixing or mailing, whichever is effected later." As such, service was not proper under New York law and therefore was not proper under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(e). + +In addition, even if service had been proper under New York law, the time for a responsive pleading had not expired prior to the Order of Default being entered. Under New York law, service is not complete until ten days after the Affidavit of Service is filed with the clerk of the court designated in the summons. In this case that would be the clerk of the court for the Southern District of Florida. This filing occurred on June 12, 2009. Therefore, service is not completed until June 26, 2009. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(2).. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a), a responsive pleading would not be due until twenty days thereafter. The Order of Default entered on June 17, 2009, should be set aside because, as of that date no responsive pleading was due, so there was no default. + +Undersigned counsel has attempted in good faith to confer with counsel for the Plaintiff, but has not been able to speak to him. + +WHEREFORE, good cause having been shown under Fed.

Jane Doe also requests production of a privilege log. + +Jane Doe has propounded 16 requests for production, including such straightforward requests as requests for production of: + +Request No. 1: Copies of all telephone records; + +Request No. 2: Photos of the inside of your home located at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, that depict the room(s) where massages took place (including massage table). + +Request No. 10: Correspondence between Epstein and federal prosecutors; + +Request No. 12: Personal tax returns; + +Request No. 13: Photocopies of Epstein's passport; + +Request No. 14: A statement of net worth; and + +Request No. 16: Medical records. + +In response to each and every one of these requests, Epstein has given the following response (with only minor variations here and there): + +Defendant is asserting his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to respond to all relevant questions 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. 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 + +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 + +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.

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 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.

PLAINTIFF JANE DOE'S 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. + +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 + +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 + +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 + +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. Describe financial assets that are under your control, directly or indirectly, including interests in corporations or other business entities. + +Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the interrogatories as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges.

OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT + +Plaintiff, JANE DOE II, through counsel, opposes the Defendant Motion to Set Aside Default. Defendant offers no proof that she did not actually receive the service of process; she says she "contests" the efforts but offers no evidence to contest the Affidavit of the process server, who made six (6) attempts to serve before being forced to resort to "nail and mail" service, valid under New York law. Maines Paper & Food Service, Inc. v. Boulevard Burgers Corporation, 52 A.D. 3d 1150, 861 N.Y.S. 2d 808 (N.Y.S.C., Appellate Division, June 26, 2008). + +Defendant first argues that Plaintiffs Motion is defective because the Plaintiff did not timely file the Affidavit of Service. However, a delay in filing proof of service under CPLR 308 is merely a procedural irregularity, not jurisdictional, and may be corrected nunc pro tunc by the court. Haegeland v Massa, 75 A.D. 2d 864; Hudela v Posner, 70 Misc 2d 726. If anything, the delay in filing the Affidavit of Service provided Defendant additional time to avoid being defaulted. An action is commenced with the delivery of a + +summons, and cannot thereafter be defeated simply by reason of a belated filing of proof of service. v Quickset Printers, 70 Misc 2d 732, particularly in the absence of a statement by defendant categorically denying that she ever received the papers. Empire Nat. Bank v Judal Constr., 61 A.D. 2d 789. Defendant serves no Affidavit contesting that she was served and received the Summons and Complaint. + +Defendant makes a half hearted attempt to question the sufficiency of service. Conspicuously absent is any statement or inference that the defendant did not receive the papers served upon her or that, under New York State law, due diligence was not made. Schwarz v Margie, 2009 NY Slip Op 03890, 62 A.D.3d 780 (May 12, 2009); Leviton v Unger, 2008 NY Slip Op 09363, 56 A.D. 3d 731 (November 25, 2008). Here, the Defendant was given notice through proper service that a law suit was being instituted against her and she deliberately chose to ignore the claim, not moving for relief until after a default was entered. Even if the Defendant where to deny that she received service, which she has failed to do, the presumption of receipt of properly mailed materials renders ineffective defendant's denial of receipt. Guccione v. Flynt, 618 F.Supp. (S.D. N.Y. 1985). Defendant ultimately does not challenge the sufficiency of service with any evidence that might require an evidentiary hearing. + +The second argument made by Defendant that the Court prematurely defaulted her without waiting 10 days from Plaintiffs filing proof of service, is equally unavailing. New York State law requirements of filing an affidavit of service within 20 days of completion under CPLR 308(4), along with the 10 period , pertains solely to the time within which a defendant must answer, and does not relate to the jurisdiction acquired by service of the summons. Browning v Nix, 47 Misc 2d 709; William lser, Inc. v. Garnett, 46 Misc 2d 450. The "additional notice" of 10 days is intended to give the defendant notice + +that a default judgment is imminent so that she may take remedial action is she desires. (See 4 Weinstein-Korn, NY Civ Prac, par 3215:29) as cited in Mobil Oil Corp. v. Christian Oil & Gas Distributors, 95 A.D. 2d 722; 463 N.Y.S. 2d 253 (N.Y. App. Div. 1983). Defendant has been on notice for almost three months that a default was imminent, and took no action; she then, through counsel, served a Motion to Set Aside Default, on June 23, 2009, and has still failed to file a responsive pleading of any kind, despite admitting that such a pleading would have been due, under her reading of the Rule, on or before June 26, 2009. Hence under the facts of the instant case, service is proper, the defendant was on notice of default and, even to date, has not responded to the allegations of the Complaint sh was served with on April 23, 2009, almost three (3) months ago. + +In addition, under New York law, the moving party seeking to set aside a default, must demonstrate a meritorious defense. Maines Paper, supra, 52 A.D. 3d at 1152. No such argument is made here, no proposed Answer and Affirmative Defenses has been filed, in fact there is nothing in the Motion to suggest that Defendant even has a defense to the claims made against her. Accordingly, denial of a Motion to Vacate Default would not be an abuse of discretion. "Given defendant's failure to present proof of a meritorious defense, [the] Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to vacate the default judgment," Maines Paper, supra, 52 A.D. 3d at 1152 (citation omitted). + +In this case, Defendant chose to ignore service of a summons for several months, and sought relief after the Court had defaulted her. Defendant is not entitled to relief because her Motion is not supported by any case law interpreting New York's "nail and mail" statute and because she has not come forth with a meritorious, or any defense. The Default should stand and the issue of damages reserved for trial or summary + +judgment. + +Respectfully submitted, + +BY: s/ Isidro M. ISIDRO M.

Moreover, El asks the Court to set aside the default because she has a meritorious defense to the instant action which might affect the outcome, granting her motion to set aside the default would not result in prejudice to the non-defaulting party, and default in this action was not willful. + +## Service of Process Was Legally Deficient Under New York Law + +It is undisputed by the parties that the purported service of process on in this action is pursuant to Federal Rule of Procedure 4(e)( I ) which allows service "pursuant to the law of the state . .. in which effected." In this case, Plaintiff claims to have served in New York under section 308(4) of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules ("CPLR"), which is + +colloquially known as "nail and mail service." This type of service is disfavored in New York. In fact, New York's highest court has construed the statutory requirements of nail and mail service "strictly" stating that "the liberalization of the requirements of service would jeopardize the primary statutory purpose of ensuring that defendants receive actual notice of the pendency of litigation against them." Feinstein v. Berger, 397 N.E.2d 1161, 1164 (1979). + +#### 1. Plaintiff Failed to Exercise Due Diligence + +"It is well settled that `nail and mail' service pursuant to CPLR 308(4) may be used only where personal service under CPLR 308(1) and (2) cannot be made with `due diligence."' Silber v. 731 N.Y.S. 2d 227, 228 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001). Plaintiff has the burden of showing due diligence for the purposes of CPLR 308(4). See State Higher Educ. Sem. Corp. V. Cacia, 652 N.Y.S. 2d 883 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997). Courts strictly enforce the due diligence requirement "given the reduced likelihood that a summons served pursuant to the action will be received." See Lemberger v. Khan, 794 N.Y.S. 2d 416 (N.Y. App. Div. 2005). A plaintiff that resorts to using CPLR 308(4) should be prepared to make a detailed showing of the efforts constituting due diligence, inasmuch as rigid adherence to the requirement of due diligence is expected. There is no set fast rule as to what constitutes due diligence. Instead, courts consider the facts and circumstances of each case. Hanover New England v. MacDougall, 608 N.Y.S. 2d 561, 561-62 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994). + +Here, Plaintiff fails to meet her burden of showing due diligence for the purposes of CPLR 308(4). In fact, the only reference Plaintiff makes to due diligence in her Response is the following phrase: "the process server, who made six (6) attempts to serve before being forced to resort to nail and mail service, valid under New York law." Importantly, all six attempts to serve + +occurred between April 14 and April 25, 2009, a span of eleven days. The process server states that on April 14, 2009, April 21, 2009 and April 24, 2009 he was informed by the doorman at apartment residence that was "out of town." Certainly, given the consistency of the statement that was out of town, the process server should have exercised due diligence and waited an appropriate period of time for to return to town. His repeated attempts to serve when he possessed knowledge that she was not at the residence speaks to his failure to exercise due diligence. + +Notably, the case law Plaintiff relies upon in her Response clearly supports M='s legal position. Plaintiff relies upon Mathes Paper & Food Service, Inc., v. Boulevard Burgers, 52 A.D. 3d 1150, 1152 (N.Y.S. App. Div. 2008) to support her claim that the process servers efforts comply with New York Law. However, Plaintiff fails to point out that Maines states that "due diligence . . . refers to the quality of the efforts made to effect personal service . . . not to their quantity or frequency." Id. Unlike the efforts in this case, in Maines the process server not only made repeated attempts to serve at the residence, he also spoke to neighbors, and sought out persons who worked with the individual, and he had counsel investigate the individual and research databases, credit applications, verify home addresses, and check with the Secretary of State as to property ownership. Id. Here, Plaintiff's process server efforts are merely six visits to residence when he knew she was out of town. Plaintiff also cites Leviton v. Unger, 868 N.Y.S. 2d 126 (N.Y.S. App. Div. 2008) in her Response. However, once again Plaintiff fails to point out to the Court that in Leviton the court found that service of process by "nail and mail" was insufficient as a matter of law because the process server repeatedly went to the person's residence on a day and time when the person was likely to be working or commuting, and statements by the process server as to his efforts to determine where the person worked were conclusory and ambiguous. In this case, Plaintiff demonstrates significantly less due diligence that what was at issue in Leviton and Moines. Accordingly, Plaintiff's due diligence efforts fail as a matter of law. + +## 2. The Entry of Default Was Premature + +Once the due diligence burden is met, the plain language of the New York "nail and mail" statute, CPLR 308(4) requires three steps for service to be complete: (1) the summons must be affixed to the door; (2) a copy of the summons and complaint must be served upon the person by mail; and (3) plaintiff must file "proof of service" with the court. See N.Y.C.P.L.R. 308(4). The plain language of the New York statute states that plaintiff must fulfill each of these elements for service to be complete. + +In this case, Plaintiff did not file her proof of service as required by the "nail and mail" statute until June 12, 2009, when she attached the proof of service to her motion for default against (DE 37). Only upon filing of this notice is service deemed complete by New York law. Once service is complete the time in which to answer, appear or move is set by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Importantly, Plaintiff admits in her Response that the filing of the proof of service required under CPLR 308(4) "pertains solely to the time within which a defendant may answer." (Plaintiff's Response DE 47:2). It is well settled New York law that "the failure to file proof of service merely enlarge[s] the defendant's time to appear, answer or move." Browning v. Nix, 47 Misc. 2d 709, 711 (N.Y.Sup. 1965). acknowledges that Plaintiff's failure to file a proof of service, standing by itself, does not defeat the efficacy of otherwise valid service. The purpose of the filing of the proof of service under the nail and mail statute is to go an extra step so as to ensure that someone who has not been personally served has every opportunity to comply. Id. + +Here, had 20 days from June 12, 2009, specifically until July 2, 2009, in which to file a responsive pleading. However, on June 17, 2009, the Court granted Plaintiff's motion and entered a default. Five days later, on June 23, 2009 moved to set aside the default (DE 42). Because the Order of Default was entered before the time in which had to file a responsive pleading expired the Order was premature, there was no default, and the Order should be vacated. + +Importantly, soon after filing her Motion to Set Aside Default, , through counsel, commenced good faith efforts with Plaintiff to effect a waiver of service. Counsel for Plaintiff was contacted by the undersigned by certified letter, email, and telephone. Plaintiff never responded. + +## The Default Should Be Set Aside For Good Cause Shown + +Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c) provides the standard for setting aside an entry of default. The rule states that "[for good cause shown the court may set aside an entry of default. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55( c). The Eleventh Circuit holds that the standard for setting aside a default is different and less burdensome than the setting aside of a default judgment. See E.E.O.C. v. Mike Pontiac GMC, Inc., 896 F.2d 524, 527-28 (11th Cir. 1990). Good cause is a liberal standard. Coon v. Grenier, 867 F.2d 73, 76 (1st Cir. 1989). The relevant factors courts consider under "good cause" include "whether (1) the default was willful, (2) a set-aside would prejudice plaintiff, and (3) the alleged defense was meritorious." See Compania Interamericana Export-Import, S.A. v. Compania Dominicana De Aviacion, 88 F.3d 948, 951 (11 th Cir. 1996). + +Here, even if the default was properly entered, all factors weigh in favor of setting it aside. First, conduct was not willful. Willfulness is determined by considering whether the party intended to violate court rules and procedure and not merely whether the party failed to answer. Widmer-Baum v.aalford, 162 F.R.D. 545 (N.D. Iowa 1995). Situations where a party absconds to avoid liability have been found to be willful. Good faith or the inadvertent failure to answer are not willful. Commercial Bank of Kuwait v. Rafidain Bank, 15 F.3d 238, 27 Fed. R. Serv. 3d 1353 (2d Cir. 1994). Here, there is no evidence that, prior to the default being entered, or her counsel knew she had been properly served under the New York "nail and mail" statute', and that therefore a responsive pleading was due. As set forth above, Plaintiff's process server showed no due diligent efforts to provide actual notice to Instead, the process server merely repeatedly showed up to serve when he knew she was not at that location. + +Second, Plaintiff will not be prejudiced by setting aside the default because litigation in this case has just begun. Plaintiff filed this case in late March 2009. Litigation is in its early stages. See Feliciano v. Reliant Tooling Co., 691 F.2d 653, 656-57 (3rd Cir. 1982Xfinding that plaintiff's expenses, or delay in realizing satisfaction do not constitute sufficient prejudice). + +Third, has a meritorious defense to this action. did not personally commit any sexual battery on the Plaintiff, nor did she conspire with Mr. Epstein to do so. In fact, Plaintiff does not allege any physical contact with nor does she allege that was present for any improper sexual touching. At best, she alleges that arranged for Plaintiff to massage Mr. Epstein. The evidence will show that was not aware of whatever happened (or would happen) privately between Mr. Epstein and Plaintiff. As such, Plaintiff will not be able to prove knowledge or intent to commit any tortious conduct, nor her agreement to further such conduct. + +'Florida law does not permit this kind of service. + +Last, "[d]efaults are seen with disfavor because of the strong policy of determining cases on their merits." Florida's Physician's Ins. Co. V. Ehlers, 8 F.3d 780, 783(11th Cir. 1993)(internal citations omitted). Long-standing Eleventh Circuit precedent holds that "[e]ntry of judgment by default is a drastic remedy which should be used only in extreme circumstances."Wah/ v. McIver, 773 F.2d 1169, 1174 (1 I th Cir. 1984). The facts and circumstances set forth in this case do not rise to an extreme circumstance. Even if the Court finds that service was proper, should be afforded the opportunity to have this dispute determined on its merits. + +For the foregoing reasons, Default be granted. respectfully requests that her Motion To Set Aside + +Dated: July 21, 2009 + +Respectfully submitted, + +BRUCE E.

The motion is fully briefed and ripe for review. The Court has reviewed the motion, response, reply, and the record and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +On June 17, 2009, the Court entered an Order of Default Against Defendant (DE 39). In that Order, the Court stated that it "has reviewed the affidavit of service accompanying Plaintiff's motion for default against and concludes that Plaintiff effected service on Defendant in a manner authorized by New York state law." See DE 39 citing N.Y.C.P.L.R. § 308(4). The Court concluded that, because Defendant failed to timely answer the complaint or otherwise respond thereto, Plaintiff was entitled to an Order of Default + +against Id. + +In her motion to set aside default, argues that (1) the process server failed to exercise "due diligence" before resorting to New York "nail and mail" service; (2) the entry of default was premature because Plaintiff did not file her proof of service until she filed her motion for default against (3) has shown good cause for setting aside the default because her conduct was not willful, litigation is in its early stages, and has a meritorious defense to this action. + +Upon review of the process server's affidavit, the Court concludes that the server exercised "due diligence" by making six attempts to serve Plaintiff over a twelve-thy period, at varying times of morning and evening, before resorting to New York "nail and mail" service. However, Defendant correctly notes that pursuant to N.Y.C.P.L.R. § 308(4), the time for her to respond to the complaint did not begin to run until Plaintiff filed "proof of service" with the Court. Accordingly, Defendant should have been afforded twenty days to respond to the complaint from the June 12, 2009 filing of the proof of service before Plaintiff could obtain an entry of default against her. Because the default was entered prematurely, the Court will set aside the Order of Default Against (DE 39), without prejudice, for Plaintiff to move for default against if she does not respond to the complaint on or before August 3, 2009. + +Additionally, even assuming Defendant's interpretation of New York law is incorrect, she had a good faith basis to believe that the time for her to answer the complaint had not expired. Thus, at the very least, she has shown excusable neglect. Defendant also asserts meritorious defenses and Plaintiff will not be prejudiced by the setting aside of the default. Accordingly, it is hereby + +ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: + +I. Defendant Motion to Set Aside Order of Default (DE 42) is + +GRANTED. + +2.

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.

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 arc 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_89.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-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750681/EFTA02750681.metadata.json b/marker2/court-doe-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750681/EFTA02750681.metadata.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2da60a6d175ba11908a90d036c020764bb133bce --- /dev/null +++ b/marker2/court-doe-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750681/EFTA02750681.metadata.json @@ -0,0 +1,279 @@ +{ + "source_pdf": "/home/robbd/my/apps/epstein-index/data/raw/court-doe-v-epstein-80469/EFTA02750681.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": 10.94, + "image_assets": [ + "_page_0_Picture_12.jpeg", + "_page_4_Picture_89.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. Them 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: s/ Adam D.

The motion is now fully briefed and ripe for review. The Court has carefully reviewed the motion, amended response, and reply, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. + +### Background + +On March 24, 2009, Plaintiff filed her Complaint against Defendants Jeffrey Epstein and , alleging a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2255. (DE I). The facts, as alleged in the Complaint, are as follows: + +During the events giving rise to this claim, Plaintiff was a minor but has now reached majority. Comp!. ¶ 4. Defendant Epstein has a history of enticing young women, who are minors, and soliciting them to engage in prostitution for his own sexual gratification. Compl. 8. Epstein conspired with two persons he employed for this purpose, and Defendant and others, to solicit young women of the type Epstein preferred, + +blonde, attractive in appearance, and younger than 18 years of age, to provide sexual gratification for him by engaging in acts of prostitution. Compl. ¶ 9. Defendants Epstein and entered into a criminal conspiracy to solicit young women for acts of prostitution, including Plaintiff, in Palm Beach County. Compl. ¶ 10. + +From about June, 2003 until about February 2005, Defendants persuaded, induced, or enticed Plaintiff to come to Epstein's home and provide Epstein with "massages." The "massages" escalated into sexual encounters between Epstein and Plaintiff designed to fulfill his unnatural sexual desires for young women or even younger girls who were minors. Comp!. ¶ 11. These acts included Epstein's request that he wanted the encounter to be like a "porn video." Comp1.1 11. Epstein would script lines for Plaintiff to say, including calling out his name and requesting that he perform a certain sexual act "harder," while he touched Plaintiff's vagina with a vibrator or with his fingers; alternatively he would masturbate in the presence of Plaintiff after demanding her to disrobe and walk in from of him in provocative sexual poses. Compl. ¶ II. Epstein would pay Plaintiff a fee of \$200 on each occasion after he ejaculated while masturbating in the presence of Plaintiff. Compl. ¶ 11. Epstein touched Plaintiff's vagina, or penetrated Plaintiff's vagina, using his fingers and/or a vibrator on multiple occasions, during the time that Plaintiff was a minor, causing personal injury to her. Compl. ¶ 12. + +In violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b), Defendants knowingly persuaded, induced, or enticed Plaintiff to engage in acts of prostitution, when Plaintiff was under the age of 18. Plaintiff can document the following dates when the acts recurred based on payments received: 06/16/03, 07/02/03, 04/09/04, 06/07/04, 07/30/04, 08/30/04, 10/12/04, 10/30/04, and 11/09/04. Compl. ¶ 13. In addition, Plaintiff believes that there were as many as 10 to 20 other occasions during this + +time frame that Epstein solicited and procured her to perform prostitution services, all during the time that she was a minor. Comp11 13. + +Epstein has made an agreement with the United States Attorney's Office to not contest liability for claims brought exclusively pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, in exchange for avoiding federal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b), which provides a sentence of 10 years for each violation of the law. Comp/. ¶ 15. + +Defendant argues in his motion that the case should be dismissed because (1) Plaintiff previously filed a case in state court based on the same set of facts as in this case; (2) Plaintiff can seek damages under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 of a minimum of \$50,000 per victim; (3) Plaintiff has failed to allege a violation of the requisite predicate act as identified in 18 U.S.C. § 2255; and (4) Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for conspiracy to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2255. + +Plaintiff responds that the Court should deny the motion because she is entitled to pursue separate state and federal claims in their respective courts, the damages issues are not appropriate for a motion to dismiss, and the pleadings at issue provide Defendant with sufficient notice of the underlying factual bases for the claims. + +# 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 plaintiff's 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.! Workers Int'l 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 + +First, Defendant argues in his motion that this case should be dismissed because Plaintiff previously filed a case in state court based on the same set of facts as in this case. Plaintiff filed the instant case alleging violations of 18 U.S.C. § 2255 and filed the state case alleging sexual + +battery and civil conspiracy. Defendant argues that the state court would have concurrent jurisdiction over Plaintiff's 18 U.S.C. § 2255 claim and that exceptional circumstances exist requiring dismissal of the federal action in favor of the first filed state action. See American Bankers Ins. Co. of Florida v. First State Ins. Co., 891 F.2d 882 (11'h Cir. 1990). + +The exceptional circumstances test is set forth in Moses H. Cone Memorial Hosp. v. Mercury Constr., 460 U.S. 1 (1983). As the Eleventh Circuit explained in American Bankers Ins., 891 F.2d at 884: + +In Colorado River [Water Conserv. Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S. 800 (1976)] the Supreme Court announced that a federal court may dismiss an action because of parallel state court litigation only under "exceptional" circumstances. 424 U.S. at 818. Indeed, "[o]nly the clearest of justifications will warrant dismissal." Id. at 819. The Court set out four factors to be considered in determining whether dismissal on the grounds of exceptional circumstances is appropriate: (1) whether one of the courts has assumed jurisdiction over property; (2) the inconvenience of the federal forum; (3) the potential for piecemeal litigation; and (4) the order in which the forums obtained jurisdiction. Id. at 818. In Moses H. Cone, the Court reaffirmed its view that only exceptional circumstances will warrant dismissal of federal cases in favor of a concurrent state suit. 460 U.S. at 14. The Moses H. Cone decision also repeated the four Colorado River factors and added two more: (5) whether state or federal law will be applied; and (6) the adequacy of the state court to protect the parties' rights. Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 23, 26; Noonan South f Inc. v. County of Volusia, 841 F.2d 380, 381 (11th Cir. 1988)]. The test for determining when exceptional circumstances exist, therefore, involves the careful balancing of six factors. The weight to be given any one factor may vary greatly depending on the case; however, the balance is "heavily weighted" in favor of the federal court exercising jurisdiction. Id. at 16. + +Here, the first factor is inapplicable because neither the federal court nor the state court has assumed jurisdiction over any property. The second factor, the inconvenience of the federal forum, focuses primarily on the "physical proximity of the federal forum to the evidence and witnesses." American Bankers Ins., 891 F.2d at 885, guiSgl Evanston Insurance Co. v. Jimco, Inc. 844 F.2d 1185, 1191 (5th Cir. 1988). This factor does not weigh in favor of dismissal of the state court proceeding. + +The focus of the third factor is avoiding piecemeal litigation. Plaintiff has brought claims under federal law in the federal court action and under state law in the state court action. The fact that the state court may have concurrent jurisdiction over an 18 U.S.C. § 2255 claim, and the fact that Plaintiff could have chosen to bring her 18 U.S.C. § 2255 claim as part of her state court action do not preclude her from filing a claim in federal court. Although many of the same facts are involved in both cases, Plaintiff has brought different causes of action in each forum and has not brought any federal claims in her state court case. By litigating cases involving many of the same facts simultaneously in both federal and state court, Plaintiff risks the potential application of resjudicata principles to claims in the forum which is the last to decide the case. See Jang v. United Technologies Corp., 206 F.3d 1147 (11th Cir. 2000) (plaintiff may not split causes of action to bring state claims in one suit and then file a second suit with federal causes of action); Aquatherm Industries. Inc. v. Florida Power & Light Co. 84 F.3d 1388 (11' Cir. 1996) (holding that a Federal Lanham Act claim was barred in federal court after the plaintiff elected to bring only its state law claims in the initial state court litigation where both state and federal claims relied upon the same essential facts); Montana v. United States 440 U.S. 147, 153 (1979) (explaining that the purpose of the doctrine is to protect an adverse party "from the expense and vexation attending multiple lawsuits [and] conserves judicial resources."). The presence of that risk, which Plaintiff has apparently chosen to take, does not preclude Plaintiff from proceeding in both fora on the separate claims. + +The fourth factor, the order in which jurisdiction was obtained, "should not be measured exclusively by which complaint was filed first, but rather in terms of how much progress has been made in the two actions." American Bankers Ins., 891 F.2d at 885, glititgl Moses H. Cone, 460 U.S. at 21. Here, the state action was filed first and Defendant Epstein has responded to the complaint in both cases. Even assuming that the state court litigation has progressed further than the federal litigation, this factor does not weigh heavily in favor of dismissal, considering the overall analysis of the other five factors. + +The fifth factor, whether federal or state law will be applied, does not point toward dismissal, as the federal case raises only federal causes of action. Finally, the sixth factor, the adequacy of the state court to protect the parties' rights, is in equipoise. There is no reason to defer to the state court pursuant to this factor. + +"A federal court cannot properly decline to exercise its statutory jurisdiction, however, simply because judicial economy might be served by deferring to a state court. Federal courts have a 'virtually unflagging obligation' to exercise the jurisdiction given them." American Bankers Ins., 891 F.2d at 886., gtaLgt Colorado River Water Conserv. Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 816 (1976). This is especially true here because this case asserts a federal cause of action and the state case does not. Defendant has failed to demonstrate that "exceptional circumstances" require dismissal of this case in deference to the pending state court proceeding. American Bankers Ins., 891 F.2d at 886. + +Defendant also contends that Plaintiff has failed to sufficiently allege a violation of the requisite predicate act as identified in 18 U.S.C. § 2255. The Complaint alleges a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b), which is one of the statutes listed in § 2255 as a basis for liability under that + +statute. See 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a). Section 2422(b) states as follows: + +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. + +The Complaint sufficiently alleges that Defendant Epstein knowingly persuaded, induced, or enticed Plaintiff to engage in acts of prostitution, when Plaintiff was under the age of 18. Comp. 14, 11, 12, 13. However, the Complaint does not allege that Defendant used the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce. Plaintiff asserts in her response that the telephone system is clearly a facility of interstate commerce and states that she is prepared to allege that Defendants Epstein and used an instrumentality of interstate commerce, namely cellular telephone, to solicit Plaintiff. Plaintiff shall be permitted to amend her complaint accordingly. + +Lastly, Epstein asserts that Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action for conspiracy to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2255 for the same reason she failed to state a cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2255 against Epstein individually. As explained supra, Plaintiff shall be permitted to amend her complaint to allege that Defendant used the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce to violate § 2255.' + +Defendant also contends that an alleged victim of a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2255 is only entitled to one award of the statutory minimum amount of damages, regardless of the number of incidents or acts that took place which constituted violations of the act. Because Plaintiff has only asserted one cause of action in her complaint, it is not necessary to decide this question at the present time because the issue is one of damages and not whether a cause of action has been stated. The Court will reserve ruling on this question and decide it when it is presented in a more appropriate context either in this case or in any of the related cases. + +Based on the foregoing, it is hereby + +ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint (DE 13) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART as follows: Plaintiff's claim is dismissed without prejudice to amend to allege that Defendant(s) used the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2255. Except as to the question of whether Plaintiff is limited to one award of statutory damages, on which the Court reserves ruling, the remainder of Defendant's Motion is denied. + +DONE AND ORDERED in Florida, this 11'" day of August, 2009. at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, + +Copies furnished to: t + +all counsel of record KENNETH A.

As to Plaintiffs claim, 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 the claim, 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 Plaintiffs claim, Plaintiff impliedly consented to the acts alleged by not objecting, and therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +4. As to Plaintiffs claim, 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 Plaintiffs claim, Plaintiffs claims are barred as she said she was 18 years or older at the time. + +6. As to Plaintiffs claim, 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. Plaintiff has failed to plead a cause of action as she does not and can not show a violation of a predicate act under the applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005) - the version in effect prior to the 2006 amendment, eff. Jul. 27, 2006. + +9. As to Plaintiffs §2255 claim, 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. + +10. As to Plaintiffs §2255 claim, Plaintiff is entitled to only a single recovery of her actual damages. Should Plaintiff prove actual damages in an amount less than \$50,000, the applicable statutory minimum, she is entitled to a single recovery of \$50,000, regardless of the number of acts. Allowing a multiplication of the damages recoverable would be in violation of the prohibition against the recovery of duplicative damages. + +11.As to Plaintiff's §2255 claim, 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. + +12.As to Plaintiffs §2255 claim, 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. + +13. 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. + +14.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. + +15. 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. + +16. 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. + +By: ROBERT D.JCRITTON, JR., ESQ.

As to Plaintiff's claim, Plaintiff impliedly consented to the acts alleged by not objecting, and + +therefore, her claims are barred, or her damages are required to be reduced accordingly. + +4. As to Plaintiff's claim, 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 Plaintiff's claim, Plaintiff's claims are barred as she said she was 18 years or older at the time. + +6. As to Plaintiff's claim, Plaintiff's 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. Plaintiff has failed to plead a cause of action as she does not and can not show a violation of a predicate act under the applicable version of 18 U.S.C. §2255 (2005) — the version in effect prior to the 2006 amendment, effective July 27, 2006. + +9. As to Plaintiff's §2255 claim, 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 Plaintiffprove the elements of such claim is \$50,000, and not subject to any multiplier. + +10. As to Plaintiff's §2255 claim, Plaintiff is entitled to only a single recovery of her actual damages. Should Plaintiff prove actual damages in an amount less than \$50,000, the applicable statutory minimum, she is entitled to a single recovery of \$50,000, regardless of the number of acts. Allowing a multiplication of the damages recoverable would be in violation of the prohibition against the recovery of duplicative damages. + +11. As to Plaintiff's §2255 claim, 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. I, and procedural and substantive due process, U.S. Const. 14th Amend., 5'" Amend. The statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies. + +12. As to Plaintiff's §2255 claim, 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 McBoyle 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. + +13. 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. + +14. 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. + +15. 18 U.S.C. §2255 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14" Amendment under the U.S. Constitution, and thus Plaintiff's claim thereunder is barred. + +16. 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. + +Respectfully submitted, + +/s/Bruce E.

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. Washington 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. + +EXHIBITA. + +Lio 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. CRITT0N: 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 ism 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. Plaintiff's counsel asked similar questions at the deposition of Larry Eugene a, 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? + +Isv. Epstein + +Case No. 502008CA028051XXXXMBAB + +Epsteln'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. Ila 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. Plaintiffs 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. 502008CA028051X=MBAB Epstein's Motion for Protective Order to Prohibit Inappropriate Deposition Questions Page 7 of 9 + +without limits. Washington v. MI& 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. 502008CA028051XX)0MMAB + +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.

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

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,

It's 10 harassment and not likely to lead to discoverable 11 evidence. + +12 I'm going lo-put on the record + +13 14 right now that it is — we are allowed discovery into a RICO count. We are also allowed discovery + +15 16 Into the intent of Mr. Epstein in developing a criminal enterprise designed to sexually exploit + +17 18 and sexually abuse underage girls. We beHave that in doing so, he associated Intentionally with + +19 20 people of similar beliefs that sex with underage girls is okay, and that there have been many + +21 discussions with this witness, as well as many + +22 23 other witnesses with -- to Insure his protection from law enforcement that they not answer these + +24 25 specific questions. And thus, the opinions and 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, yin going to continue to ask the questions and you can instruct him not to answer and we can go to the 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 1 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. CRITTON: Let me add in my pad, is that I think — you're certainly not oNy 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 yetNe 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 AIt's an opWon. and I believe that he has not. O. Okay. Isn't It true that at some point in lime you learned that Jeffrey Epstein has — strike that. MR. CRITTON: When you taimately get to a good place to break, will you let us know? MR.\_: Let's break nom (A break was had at 11:28 a.m.) BY MR. O. All 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 w1h Jeffrey Epstein and world classify that person as Jeffrey Epstein's friend, can you name anybody? A Nadia, Sarah; just people that we see routinely on the airplane. Q. Mars people you see routinely In the last five to ten years, rigor? A Yes. Q. Prior to that time, anybody that you've noticed as Jeffrey Epstein's friend may be Ghislatno Marvell? A. What time frame? Q. Is that a person Nat at some point In time + +thoughts are on something which he has no factual basis or even an assumption to know one way or another is Irrelevant. That's ultimately for a fact-finder in this case. SWhile it's interesting, it's argumentative and I don't think he's —1 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 Ws not a good use of our time, I'll put it that way. But you know, you can go ahead and ask. MR. I cen 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 it's discoverable or not. MR. REINHART: Absolutely. Make your record. BY MR. O. Do you have any reason to believe that Jeffrey Epstein engaged In sexual activity wilh underage women? A. I have no reason to believe. O. Okay. So as you sit here today, based on your 18 years of knowledge, experience and observation of Jeffrey Epstein, is a your belief that he has not had sex or engaged in sexual activity viith underage women? + +you wotid classify as Jeffrey Epstein's friend? A. I would classify it. I don't know if its true. O. But Nat's only because they were on the airplane together? A. yes. O. Do you know what Jeffrey Epstein does for a Blying In your 18 years of observing aril talking will Jeffrey Epstein? A. No. O. No idea? A. No. O. Ever asked Nm? A. No, actually. Q. Ever been curious? A, Sure. 1? O. Ever:done anything to satisfy that curiosity? A. If you mean Google II, not really, actually. I mean. I really have not. Q. Okay. So In 18 years of IraveIng and being the plot and driving — and taking this person.

REPLY TO ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT ADLER'S P.A.'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR ORDER FOR THE PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE IDE 4051 (AS 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 15t11 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 (59) 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 COMPEL AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM F IAW + +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 M r. 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.

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 1783. + +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 orig.. 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.

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.O. 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); Ebav, 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

ton." 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 (Fla. 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 tria1.5 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. Fla. 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.

5 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. I 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.

OF FLA. - vfp B. D.C. + +# Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's Emergency Motion For Protective Order, Motion to Ouash and Motion for Attorneys' Fees, With Incorporated Memorandum Of Law + +Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, (hereinafter "EPSTEIN") by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Emergency Motion For Protective Order, Motion to Quash and Motion for Attorneys' fees and Costs, With Incorporated Memorandum Of Law. 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-MarraS, 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 =I, 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. Quash CL's subpoena attached as Exhibit "A"; + +- b. Quash and/or strike Jane Doe's cross notice as to Exhibit "A" because Exhibit "A" is invalid and discovery has concluded in Jane Doe; +- c.
