Plaintiff represents that Defendants have not agreed to the relief requested in this motion on the basis that Defendants believe the motion is moot because of another order recently entered by the Court in *Doe 1*. *Epstein*, NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA. The Court has carefully considered the motion and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. It is **ORDERED AND ADJUDGED** that Plaintiff’s Motion (DE 22) is **GRANTED IN PART**. Defendants are directed to provide duplicates of all evidence subject to this Court’s protective order in *Doe 1*. *Epstein*, No. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA (Sept. 5, 2008) to Plaintiff should said evidence be returned to Defendants by the State of Florida. Plaintiff’s Motion is **DENIED IN PART AS MOOT** as to the request to preserve evidence since the evidence in EFTA00175475 Case 9:08-cv-80c1-1-KAM ```markdown Document 24 ``` Entered ..

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO PRESERVE EVIDENCE
AND EXPEDITE CERTAIN DISCOVERY
WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM
Plaintiff . moves, pursuant to Rules 26 and 34 to Preserve Evidence and Expedite the Discovery of this Evidence and states: 1. Defendants removed this action to federal court. 2. This case was recently reassigned to this division by the Honorable William Zloch. 3. This is one of several cases pending in this division which alleges sexual abuse of a female minor by the defendant JEFFREY EPSTEIN. 4. It has come to the attention of the undersigned that Defendant JEFFREY EPSTEIN filed a Motion with the Florida State Court to return the evidence seized at his home in conjunction with his criminal prosecution. With respect to the details of EPSTEIN’s motion, Plaintiff respectfully requests this court to take EFTA00175477 Case 9:08-cv-80C, 1-KAM ```markdown Docum...t 22 ``` Entered C... FLSD Docket 09... J/2008 Page 2 of 4 judicial notice of a similar motion and its attachments filed at Docket Entry 12 in the separate case filed in this court by the name of JANE DOE, a/k/a. JANE DOE NO. 1 v. JEFFREY EPSTEIN et al. Case NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON 5. This evidence is relevant and critical to the prosecution of not only the instant claim, but for other suits filed against Defendant EPSTEIN, including but not limited to the Florida RICO claims filed in State Court. 6. As stated in the certificate, the undersigned has conferred with counsel for EPSTEIN. They take the position that this motion would be moot because of an order recently entered in JANE DOE, a/k/a. JANE DOE NO. 1 v. JEFFREY EPSTEIN et al. Case NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON. However, respectfully believes that an enforceable order is needed in this particular case. In addition, she requests a more detailed order which includes all of the numerous law firms representing the defendants EPSTEIN and WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully request the Court grant her Motion to Preserve of all the seized Evidence identified in the Palm Beach Police Department Property Receipt attached to the Motion to Preserve Evidence filed at Docket Entry #12 in the case of JANE DOE, a/k/a. JANE DOE NO. 1 v. JEFFREY EPSTEIN et al. Case NO.08-80804-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON shou1d it be Returned to EPSTEIN by the State Court, and expedite the duplication of this evidence immediately upon its return, in advance of any Rule 26 conference. EFTA00175478 Case 9:08-cv-80C, 1-KAM Entered c...LSD Docket 09, J/2008 Page 3 of 4 # MEMORANDUM OF LAW Pursuant to Rules 26, 30 and 34, of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this court has the authority to modify the normal time limitations under the Rules. See AT&T Mobility LLC v. Dynamic Cellular Corp., 2008 WL 2139518 (S.D. Fla. 2008); see also Trac/one Wireless, Inc. v.King Trading, Inc., 2008 WL 918243 (N.D. Tex. 2008). Additionally, when there is a good faith belief that evidence may be lost the Court has the authority to enter an Order preserving such evidence. Id. at 1. An injunction is not required nor are the elements of an injunction necessary before entering an Order preserving such evidence. Id. at 2. Given that Defendant EPSTEIN has plead guilty and is currently serving a year in jail based on the charges which form the foundation Plaintiffs (and many other Plaintiffs') claims, it is reasonable to assume the State's seized evidence is extremely harmful to Defendant EPSTEIN. As a result, without a Protective Order Defendant EPSTEIN has no reason to keep or maintain this negative evidence; Plaintiff has put Defendant EPSTEIN on notice that this evidence is relevant to the instant action and any destruction could potentially constitute spoliation. If this evidence were destroyed Plaintiff would be severely prejudiced. Dated: September 6, 2008 Respectfully submitted, By: s/Richard H. Willits

This case is within the original jurisdiction of this Court. This case is properly removable because it falls within the original jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1) (establishing that federal district courts have original 1 v. Epstein et al., Case No. 50 2008 CA 005240 XXXX MB (Fla. 15th Cir. Ct. filed Feb. 21, 2008). Lewis Tein P.

LSD Docket 07//2008 Page 2 of 40 jurisdiction over cases where the amount “in controversy [is more than $75,000] . . . and [when the controversy] is between citizens of different states”). ## 2. The amount in controversy in this action exceeds $75,000. The Complaint contains a generic prayer for relief. It is clear, however, that the plaintiff seeks more than $75,000 in damages. This case seeks damages in connection with alleged sexual misconduct. (Compl. 6–7.) The Complaint alleges that has “suffered mental anguish, mental pain and suffering, psychic trauma, and a loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life.” (Compl. 9.) These are serious allegations. Cf., e.g., Woods v. Southwest Airlines, Co., 523 F. Supp. 2d 812, 820 (N.D. Ill. 2007) (determining, in the context of diversity jurisdiction, that the $75,000 threshold had been satisfied, and “clearly [surpassed],” based on “the nature of the injuries alleged” in the complaint); see also Williams v. Best Buy Co., Inc., 269 F.3d 1316, 1319 (11th Cir. 2001) (“When [a] complaint does not claim a specific amount of damages, removal from state court is proper if it is facially apparent from the complaint that the amount in controversy exceeds the jurisdictional requirement.”). 2 The Complaint seeks damages for “[more than] . . . $15,000.” (Compl. ¶ 1.) This boilerplate is routinely used in Florida pleading practice to trigger application of section 26.012, Florida Statutes, the statute that establishes the jurisdictional amount required for filing in Florida’s Circuit Court (as opposed to County Court). 2 Lewis Tein PL.

LSD Docket 07/4./2008 Page 3 of 40 Further, the allegations by this plaintiff are virtually identical to allegations made in four separate civil actions, filed by four different plaintiffs, against Mr. Epstein in federal court. In each of those actions, the plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $50 million -- well over the $75,000 amount-in-controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction. See Jane Doe No. 2 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4; Jane Doe No. 3 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4; Jane Doe No. 4 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4; Jane Doe No. 5 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4. ## 3. There is complete diversity. Diversity jurisdiction requires complete diversity. *Carden*. Arkoma Assocs., 494 U.S. 185, 187 (1990) (“Since its enactment, we have interpreted the diversity statute to require ‘complete diversity’ of citizenship.” (*citing Strawbridge Curtiss*, 7 U.S. (3 Cranch) 267, 267–68 (1806))); see also MacGinnitie Hobbs Group, LLC, 420 F.3d 1234, 1239 (11th Cir. 2005) (stating that “[c]omplete diversity requires that no defendant in a diversity action be a citizen of the same state as any plaintiff”). As demonstrated below, this case satisfies the statutory requirement of complete diversity. (a) Plaintiff is a citizen of Florida. (Compl. ¶ 2.) 3 See Jane Doe No. 2 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80119-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed Feb. 6, 2008); Jane Doe No. 3 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80232-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed Mar. 5, 2008); Jane Doe No. 4 v.

(Epstein Aff. Ex. A.) $ ^{4} $ (c) Contrary to the allegations in the Complaint, Defendant is a citizen of New York, not Florida. ( Stmt. Ex. B.) ## 4. This Notice satisfies the procedural requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1446. First, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b), this Notice is timely. Only defendant Epstein has been served with process. Defendant has not yet been served. See Hill Dermaceuticals, Inc. RX Solutions, United Health Group, Inc., No. 6:08-cv-330-Orl-31KRS, 2008 WL 1744794, at *3 (M.D. Fla. Apr. 11, 2008) (concluding that removal petition was timely where it was filed within 30 days after the last defendant was served). Second, in accordance with section 1446(d), defendants have served this Notice of Removal on July 21, 2008. Third, in accordance with section 1446(b), all of the defendants join this Petition and consent to removal. 4 District courts may consider affidavits and other evidence to support removal jurisdiction. See Sierminski . Transouth Fin. Corp., 216 F.3d 945, 949 (11th Cir. 2000). 4 Lewis Tein PL.

All papers filed in the State Court are attached to this Removal Petition. ## Conclusion Because this is a civil action between citizens of different states, excluding any fraudulently joined parties, and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, exclusive of interests and costs, this Court has original jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1).
