JANE DOE NO. 2,
Plaintiff,
v.
Defendant.
Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein's Motion To Stay And Or Continue Action For Time Certain Based On
Parallel Civil And Criminal Proceedings With Incorporated Memorandum Of Law
Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, (hereinafter "EPSTEIN") by and through his
undersigned attorneys, hereby moves this Court for the entry of an order staying or continuing
this action for a time certain (i.e., until late 2010 when the NPA expires), pursuant to the
application of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the fact that a parallel
proceeding is ongoing and being investigated. In support of his motion, EPSTEIN states:
I.
Introduction
At the outset, EPSTEIN notes this Court's prior Order, (DE 33), 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 I5th Judicial Circuit is "closed" in accordance with the United States Attorney's
Office ("USAO") Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") and until the NPA expires.
Moreover, EPSTEIN was indicted by a grand jury in or around July 2006. See Exhibit
"A". The Non-Prosecution Agreement is part of the record in connection with that indictment,
which is signed by the State Attorney of the 15°' Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County,
Florida ("SAO"). In fact, the NPA acknowledges the investigation performed by the SAO.
Further, the USAO was present at the Plea hearing whereby the NPA was made part of the
record. Thus, there is no question that a parallel criminal matter exists in that the SAO's case
remains open and the NPA lives along side it, which places EPSTEIN under great scrutiny by the
USAO. The NPA actually places an affirmative duty upon EPSTEIN to undertake discussions
with the SAO to ensure compliance with the NPA. That check and balance, therefore, remains in
the hands of the SAO, which has a parallel criminal proceeding. Here, the threat of prosecution
is real, substantial, and present should the USAO determine that EPSTEIN somehow violated the
NPA. As discussed below, because the NPA fails to define what constitutes a breach, the USAO
has apparently taken it upon itself to determine whether a breach has occurred and whether to
seek criminal prosecution. In fact, the USAO has already attempted to claim violations of the
NPA due to, among other things, EPSTEIN defending the civil actions against him. Clearly, it is
NOT simply EPSTEIN's choice as to whether he violates the NPA — that discretion apparently
lies with the USAO. For this reason alone, a stay is required until the NPA expires.
The difference between this Motion and the prior motion to stay in is 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 15'h Judicial
Circuit, waiver of challenges to the Information filed by the SAO, waiver of right to appeal his
conviction, agreement not be afforded benefits for gain time, and the agreement to not prosecute
others listed thereon so long as EPSTEIN does not breach and fulfills the requirements of the
NPA.
What the NPA does not outline or define is what constitutes a breach or what act or
omission constitutes a breach thereof
Therefore, the USAO apparently believes it has the
discretion to make that unwritten and undefined determination, which places an unreasonable
burden upon EPSTEIN in defending the civil claims in that he has no idea what the USAO will
define as a breach in the event he does not assert his 5th Amendment Rights. As an example, the
USAO has already claimed that EPSTEIN violated the NPA by:
1.
investigating the Plaintiffs (by and though his attorneys) whom brought civil suits
against him for purposes of defending those civil actions;
2.
contesting damages in this action and in the other civil actions;
3.
making statements to the press about this Plaintiff or other Plaintiffs by and
though his attorneys; and

using the word "jail" instead of "imprisonment" in the plea agreement with SA's
See Exhibit "B" Goldberger Affidavit - EPSTEIN's criminal counsel.
These allegations are silly, unfounded and alleged violations which are not defined as
violations under the NPA but arrived at by the USAO. Thus, EPSTEIN is left with "Morton's
Fork" in his side - the undesirable choice of taking the 5th Amendment and having a judgment
(summary or otherwise) entered against him in the civil action or the undesirable choice of
subjecting himself to discovery in the civil action before the NPA expires and, thus, face the
possibility of criminal prosecution by the USAO based upon some illusory breach deemed by the
USAO by way of information obtained through civil discovery proceedings. This is inherently
unfair, the danger is clear, and the playing field is not level in light of the NPA language or lack
thereof.
As a result, the threat of criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN by the USAO continues
presently and through late 2010.
HI.
Justice Requires The Entry of A Stay Because Defendant Is Being
Forced To Choose Between Waiving His 5th 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 non-
objectionable 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

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 self-
incrimination under the United States Constitution resulting in severe prejudice to EPSTEIN in
pending criminal matters; and
(2) EPSTEIN is not forced to choose between waiving his Fifth Amendment right against
self-incrimination or losing the civil case.
Here, in asserting his Fifth Amendment Privilege, the Plaintiff is afforded an opportunity
rarely given - that is, to put on only her evidence without any counterevidence from Defendant
resulting in a judgment of liability against EPSTEIN. This is inherently unfair and precisely the
special circumstances where "in the interests of justice" a stay is required. Ventura v. Broskv
2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), glikg,
r
United States v. Lot 5. Fox Grove 23 F.3d 359 (11th
Cir. 1994). In Ventura, a stay was entered where a Defendant was confronted with issue of
waiving his 5th Amendment Privilege or to loose a civil case by way of motion for summary
judgment. Id. Here, EPSTEIN is not requesting a mandatory stay. EPSTEIN only asks that this
court recognize that "special circumstances" exists in this matter and enter a stay in the "interests
of justice" and only for a specified period of time (i.e., after the NPA expires). See also
Securities and Exchange Commission 755 F.Supp. 1018, 1019 (S.D. Fla. 1990)(Defendant was
in precarious position while being subject to criminal investigation and reasoning that
compelling Defendant to speak by ordering an accounting of alleged illicit funds would directly

impinge his right against self-incrimination). The court found it appropriate to grant the request
for stay. (Emphasis Added).
Citing to U.S. v. Lot 5. Fox Grove, supra, the Southern District Court, Florida, in
Ventura v. Brosky, 2006 WL 3392207 (S.D. Fla. 2006), stated —
The Eleventh Circuit has also created a test for these circumstances. stating that
where there exists a concurrent civil and criminal proceeding, a court must stay
a civil proceeding pending resolution of a related criminal prosecution when
"special circumstances" so require in the "interests of justice."
(Bold emphasis added). See also United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. 1, 12 & n. 27, 90 S.Ct. 763,
769-70 & n.27 (1970). The Ventura Court went on to state that "situations where a defendant in
both criminal and civil proceedings must choose whether to waive his privilege against self-
incrimination or to lose the civil case in summary or default judgment proceedings have met this
test's burden and warrant a stay." Id. The Ventura court granted the stay. Here, the 15th Judicial
Circuit action lives along with the NPA.
In making a decision to enter such a stay, the court may consider the following factors:
(1)
the interests of the Plaintiffs in proceeding expeditiously with litigation, or any
aspect of it, and the potential prejudice of Plaintiff to the delay;
(2)
the burden which any particular aspect of the proceedings may impose on the
defendant;
(3)
the convenience of the court in the management of its cases, and the efficient use
of judicial resources;
(4)
the interests of persons not parties to the civil litigation; and
(5)
the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal litigation.
See U.S. v. Pinnacle Quest International, 2008 WL 4274498 (N.D. Fla. 2008).

First, in applying the 'above factors, the Plaintiff in the instant matter will not be
prejudiced simply by claiming a delay in time. Second, the burden is far greater on EPSTEIN if
he is forced to waive his 5th 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.

Application of the 51h 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 (11i' Cir. 1985), citing Lefkowitz v. Turley 414 U.S. 70, 77, 94 S.C.
316, 322 (1973). See also Ohio v. Reiner 532 U.S. 17, 21, 121 S.Q. 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."); Mallov v. Hogan, 84 S.Ct. 1489, 1495 (1964Xthe
Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause applies to the states through the Due Process
Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "[i]t would be incongruous to have different standards

determine the validity of a claim of privilege based on the same feared prosecution, depending
on whether the claim was asserted in state or federal court."); Kastigar v. U.S., 406 U.S. 441,
444-45, 92 S.Ct. 1653 (1972)(The Fifth Amendment privilege "can be asserted in any
proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it
protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a
criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used. This Court has been
zealous to safeguard the values which underlie the privilege." (Emphasis added)).
The United States Supreme Court made it clear that the scope of the Fifth Amendment
Privilege includes the circumstances as here "the act of producing documents in response to a
subpoena (or production request) has a compelled testimonial aspect." United States v. Hubbell
530 U.S. 27, 36, 120 S.Ct. 2037, 2043 (2000); see also Fisher v. United States, 425 U.S. 391
(1976); McCormick on Evidence, Title 6, Chap. 13. The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination,
§138 (61h 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
use that information to aid in the development of other evidence against him at a criminal trial.

The USAO is already claiming violations of the NPA based upon EPSTEIN defending the civil
actions and, at the same time, while EPSTEIN asserts the 5'h Amendment. Imagine, because that
is all we can do based on the lack of wording in the NPA, what violations the USAO will assert
if EPSTEIN is forced to waive his 56 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), citin Feldman 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 Keller Financial Svcs. of Flan 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.
pSkgr 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.'

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);
also Fisher v. United States 425 U.S.
391 (1976). In explaining the application of the privilege, the Supreme Court stated:
We have held that "the act of production" itself may implicitly communicate
"statements of fact." By "producing documents in compliance with a subpoena,
the witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control,
and were authentic." Moreover, as was true in this case, when the custodian of
documents responds to a subpoena, he may be compelled to take the witness stand
and answer questions designed to determine whether he has produced everything
demanded by the subpoena. The answers to those questions, as well as the act of
production itself, may certainly communicate information about the existence,
custody, and authenticity of the documents. Whether the constitutional privilege
protects the answers to such questions, or protects the act of production itself, is a
question that is distinct from the question whether the unprotected contents of the
documents themselves are incriminating.
"The issue presented in those cases was whether the act of producing subpoenaed
documents, not itself the making of a statement, might nonetheless have some
protected testimonial aspects. The Court concluded that the act of production could
constitute protected testimonial communication because it might entail implicit
statements of fact: by producing documents in compliance with a subpoena, the
witness would admit that the papers existed, were in his possession or control, and
were authentic. United States v. Doe. 465 U.S., at 613. and n. 11. 104 S.Ct. 1237;
Fisher. 425 U.S., at 409-410. 96 S.Ct. 1569; id. at 428. 432. 96 S.Ct. 1569
(concurring opinions). See Braswell v. United States. [487 U.S..1 at 104, 108 S.Ct.
2284; J id.] at 122. 108 S.Ct. 2284 (dissenting opinion). Thus, the Court made
clear that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies to acts
10
EFTA00222534
Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM
Document 65

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 (19511.
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. Conbov, 495 U.S. 248, 103 S.Ct. 608 (1983). 5se 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 Keller 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. gI
at 488, 399. Recognizing the breadth and magnitude of this constitutional privilege, the United
States Supreme Court in discussing how a court is to analyze the application of the privilege
stated —
... It is for the court to say whether his silence is justified, Rogers v. United States
1951, 340 U.S. 367, 71 S.Ct. 438, and to require him to answer if 'it clearly appears
to the court that he is mistaken.' Temple v. Commonwealth, 1880, 75 Va. 892, 899.
However, if the witness, upon interposing his claim, were required to prove the
hazard in the sense in which a claim is usually required to be established in court, he
would be compelled to surrender the very protection which the privilege is designed
to guarantee. To sustain the privilege, it need only be evident from the implications
of the question, in the setting in which it is asked, that a responsive answer to the
question or an explanation of why it cannot be answered might be dangerous because
injurious disclosure could result. The trial judge in appraising the claim 'must be
governed as much by his personal perception of the peculiarities of the case as by the
facts actually in evidence.'
Hoffman supra at 486-487.
Hoffman and its progeny establish that "in view of the liberal construction of the
provision [protecting against self-incrimination], after a witness has asserted the privilege, he
should be compelled to provide the requested information only if it "clearly appears" to the court
that the witness was mistaken in his invocation of the privilege." (Emphasis added). In re Keller
Financial Svcs., supra at 399, ciSgr 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 Keller 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. White, 846
F.2d 678, 690 (11th Cir. 1988)("First, it ignores the settled principle which requires a witness to
assert his Fifth Amendment rights. A witness who testifies at any proceeding, instead of asserting
his Fifth Amendment rights, loses the privilege. ... A civil deponent cannot choose to answer
questions with the expectation of later asserting the Fifth Amendment.").
Also applicable in upholding the assertion of the Fifth Amendment privilege is the
guarantee of effective assistance of counsel by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
See Yarborough v. Gentry, 124 S.Ct. 1, 540 U.S. 1, 157 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003)(Sixth Amendment
guarantees criminal defendants effective assistance of counsel.), on remand 381 F.3d 1219. The
United States Constitutional guarantees are applicable to the states through the Fourteenth
Amendment. Obviously, EPSTEIN's assertion of his constitutional privileges and protections is
on the advice of counsel. Again, EPSTEIN continues to face criminal prosecution by the USAO
until the expiration of the NPA; under the constitutional guarantee of effective assistance of

counsel, he is entitled to follow the recommended advice of his criminal defense attorney. See
Goldberger Affidavit attached hereto.
EPSTEIN's invocation of his constitutional protections of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth
Amendments must be upheld for the reasons set forth herein; otherwise such constitutional
protections would be rendered meaningless. Already and recently, Defendant EPSTEIN in his
Response and Objections to discovery, attached hereto as Exhibit "C", has been required to
assert, on advice of counsel, his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, along
with his constitutional rights afforded under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United
States Constitution. Thus, EPSTEIN's entitlement to a stay is ripe for determination.
Based upon the foregoing, a stay is warranted in this action as the Defendant is being
forced to choose between the assertion of his Fifth Amendment right or losing this case by
judgment (summary or otherwise) or waiver of his 5'h Amendment right and face potential
criminal prosecution.

BEFORE
ME,
the
undersigned
authority,
personally
appeared
having personal knowledge and being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1.
I, Jack A. Goldberger, have personal knowledge of the matters set
forth herein. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida since
1978. I am a partner with the law firm of Atterbury Goldberger & Weiss, P.A.,
located at One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400, 250 Australian Avenue South, West
Palm Beach, FL 33401.
2.
My practice includes and specializes in the defense of criminal
matters. I am board certified in criminal law. I have been and currently am the
criminal defense attorney for JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
3.
I represented Mr. EPSTEIN in the negotiation of and entering into a
Non-Prosecution Agreement with the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for
the Federal Southern District of Florida. The terms and conditions of the Non-
Prosecution Agreement also entailed the entering of a Plea Agreement with the
State Attorney's Office, Palm Beach County, State of Florida.
(The Non-
Prosecution Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "NPA").
4.
By its terms, the NPA took effect on June 30, 2008. Also, pursuant
to the terms of the NPA, any criminal prosecution against EPSTEIN is deferred
as long as the terms and conditions of the NPA are fulfilled by EPSTEIN.

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM

Page 2 of 3
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.

DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S ANSWERS AND OBJECTIONS TO
PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES
Interrogatory No. 1.
Identify all employees who performed work of services inside
the Palm Beach Residence.
Answer:
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 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, Defendant objects as the
interrogatory is overbroad and seeks information that is neither relevant to the subject
matter of the pending action nor does it appear reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence. Plaintiffs Complaint alleges a time period of "in or
about 2004-2005." Plaintiffs interrogatory seeks information for a time period from
January 1, 2003 until present. Also, see "Employee" as defined in paragraph g of
Plaintiffs interrogatories.
Interrogatory No. 2.
Identify all Employees not identified in response to
interrogatory no. 1 who at any time came to Defendant's Palm Beach Residence.

The interrogatory is so overbroad that Defendant cannot
reasonably form a response, including the raising of additional privileges which may
apply. Without waiving any objection, see Rule 26 disclosures made by Defendant's
counsel in this case.

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 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, Defendant objects to this
interrogatory in that it seeks information that is attorney-client and work product
privileged. In addition, the request is overbroad in that it seeks information "relating to
any issue."

DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S RESPONSE & OBJECTIONS TO
SECOND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION, dated December 19, 2008
Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned
attorneys, serves his responses and objections to the Request to Produce, dated
December 19, 2008 and states:
Request No. 1.
All policies of insurance, including the declarations
page and all binders, amendments, and endorsements, covering Defendant's
residence at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, FL 33480.
Response: Objection, overly broad, not relevant and material and not
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Plaintiff alleged
claims occurred during a specific time period in 2004 - 2005, yet to be
specifically identified. Yet, no time period whatsoever is set forth in the Request
for Production. Additionally, Defendant objects in that the policies contain value
and/or asset information which is not relevant, material nor calculated to lead to
the discovery of admissible evidence at this point in time; said information is both
private and confidential.

relevant documents regarding this lawsuit, however, my attorneys have
counseled me that at the present time I cannot select, authenticate, and produce

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

the terms of the deferred prosecution agreement, Fed. Rule of Evidence 410 and

attorney-client privileged, and confidential.
In addition, the request seeks
information concerning persons, not parties to this litigation, whose privacy rights
are implicated. Whatever public documents exist are in the State Court file and
equally accessible to Plaintiff.
Request No.4.
All documents obtained in discovery or investigation relating
to either the Florida Criminal Case or the Federal Criminal Case, including
without limitation, documents obtained from any federal, state, or local law

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 is overly broad, work product,
attorney-client privileged, and confidential.
In addition, the request seeks
information concerning persons, not parties to this litigation, whose privacy rights
are implicated. Request No. 4 seeks documents that are attorney-client and
work product privileged in that it seeks "all documents obtained in discovery or
investigation relating either to the Florida Criminal Case or the Federal Criminal
Case ... ." In addition, such documents are privileged and confidential as they
are the subject of a pending investigation.
Request No. 5. All telephone records and other documents reflecting telephone
calls made by or to Defendant, including without limitation, telephone logs and
message pads.
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

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 is overly broad, work product,
attorney-client privileged, and confidential.
In addition, the request seeks
information concerning persons, not parties to this litigation, whose privacy rights
are implicated.
Defendant objects as the request is overbroad and seeks
information that is neither relevant to the subject matter of the pending action nor
does it appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence. Plaintiff's complaint alleges a time period of "in or about 2004 — 2005."
Plaintiffs request seeks information for a time period of January 1, 2003 until
present regarding any and all telephone records and other documents reflecting
any and all telephone calls made to or by Defendant. As phrased, the request
includes attorney-client and work product privileged information, as well as
records and documents of calls having absolutely no relationship to any of the
allegations in this action.
Request No. 6. All telephone records and other documents reflecting telephone
calls made by or to Defendant, including without limitation, telephone logs and
message pads, reflecting telephone calls made by or to employees.
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

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 is overly broad, work product,
attorney-client privileged, and confidential. In addition, as defined by Plaintiff in
paragraph g of her request, the term employee is overly broad and encompasses
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. Further, the request seeks information pertaining to person who are
not parties to this action and whose privacy rights are implicated.
Request No. 7. All surveillance videos, slides, film, videotape, digital recording
or other audio or video depiction or image of the Palm Beach Residence.
Response: Defendant is asserting specific legal objections to the production
request as well as his U.S. constitutional privileges. I intend to produce all

Request No. 16. Any and all documents consisting of, referring or relating to
communications between Jeffrey Epstein and Nada Marcinkova, including, but
not limited to, letters, notes, text messages, messages on social networking
sites, and e-mails.
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, the request is overly broad, work product,
attorney-client privileged, and confidential.
In addition, the request seeks
information concerning persons, not parties to this litigation, whose privacy rights
are implicated. Plaintiffs complaint alleges a time period of "in or about 2004 —
2005." Plaintiffs request has no time limitation.
