DEFENDANT'S. EPSTEIN. MOTION TO DISMISS AND MOTION FOR MORE DEFINITE STATEMENT DIRECTED TO PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED COMPLAINT Defendant, JEFFERY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned counsel, moves to dismiss and for more definite statement of Plaintiff JANE DOE NO. 5's Amended Complaint. Rules 12(b)(6), and 12(e) and (f), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2008). In support of his motion, Defendant states: Introduction Defendant is filing similar motions to dismiss and for more definite statement directed to the Amended Complaints filed against Defendant in this Court in JANE DOE NO. 2, JANE DOE NO. 3, JANE DOE NO. 4 and JANE DOE NO. 5. The motions are directed to the Counts for "Sexual Assault and Battery," and "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity In Violation of 18-. §2422" in each of the respective complaints. However, there are distinctions in the four motions filed based on the complaint allegations. For example, Defendant challenges the Plaintiffs' allegations as to assault in all four actions, and challenges the battery allegations in JANE DOE NOS. 2 and 3, but not in JANE DOE NOS. 4 and 5. Defendant moves to dismiss the §2422 count in all four actions. EFTA00175849

Case 9:08-cv-8 11-KAM Document 52 Entered FLSD Docket 10A 008 Page 2 of 10 Case No. CV-80381-Marra-Johnson Page No. 2 Motion 1. Counts I and III of the Amended Complaint are required to be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). Plaintiff has failed to allege sufficient factual allegations in the Counts and instead alleges labels and conclusions, and an attempted formulaic recitation of the elements in each Count. 2. In the alternative, Defendant seeks more definite statement of Count I and III. In Count I, the Plaintiff is required to more definitely allege in the context of the claim for assault underlying factual allegations pertaining to the creation in Plaintiff of "imminent fear of peril;"; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff. In Count ill, Plaintiff is required to more definitely state the underlying factual allegations to support her claim as set forth in the statute, 18 M. §2422(b) and §2455. Rule 12(e). See discussion of law below herein. 3. Also, Plaintiffs reference in Count III to 28 M. §2255, pertaining to habeas corpus proceedings is required to be stricken as immaterial. Rule 12(f). Plaintiff is required to more definitely state what statutory provision she is relying on. Rule 12 (e). WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court dismiss Counts I and III, strike the immaterial statutory reference, and require Plaintiff to more definitely plead the underlying elements of her claims. Supporting Memorandum of Law Standard on Rule 12(b)(6) Motion To Dismiss As established by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. I. Twombly 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007), a motion to dismiss should be granted if the plaintiff does not plead "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id, at 1974. Although the complaint need not provide detailed factual allegations, the basis for relief EFTA00175850

in the complaint must state "more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic
recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Id, at 1965. Further, "[f]actual
allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level ... on the
assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact)." Id.
On a motion to dismiss, the well pleaded allegations of plaintiffs complaint are taken as
true and construed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff.

Sch. Dist., 446 F.3d 1153, 1156 (11th Cir.2006).
Significantly, the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp.'. Twombly abrogated the
often cited observation that "a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a

Pursuant to Rule 12(e), a party may move for more definite statement of a

Count I - "Sexual Assault and Battery" is subiect to dismissal as Plaintiff has
failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
It is well settled that this Court is to apply Florida substantive law in this action.
Erie R.Co. I. Tompkins, 58 S.Ct. 817 (1938). Pursuant to Florida law, although the term
"assault and battery" is most commonly referred to as if it were a legal unit, or a single
concept, "assault and battery are separate and distinct legal concepts, assault being the
beginning of an act which, if consummated, constitutes battery." 3A FIa.Jur.2d Assault
§1. An assault and battery are intentional acts. See generally, Spivey I. Battaglia 258
So.2d 815 (Fla. 1972); and Travelers Indem. Co. I. PCR, Inc. 889 So.2d 779 (Fla.
2004).
An "assault" is an intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force,
or exertion of force directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a
reasonable fear of imminent peril. See Lay'. Kremer, 411 So.2d 1347 (Fla. 1st DCA
1982). It must be premised upon an affirmative act - a threat to use force, or the actual
exertion of force. See 3A FIa.Jur.2d Assault §1("The essential element of the tort of
assault is the violence offered, and not actual physical contact.").

Case 9:08-cv-8, 11-KAM Document 52 Entered . FLSD Docket 101 008 Page 5 of 10 Case No. CV-80381-Marra-Johnson Page No. 5 As further explained in Florida Jurisprudence. 2d, Assault §1 — An assault is defined as an intentional unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or force unlawfully directed toward the person of another, under circumstances as to create a fear of Imminent peril, coupled with the apparent present ability to effectuate the attempt. At common law, a tortious assault is an act that puts another in reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm. In ¶12 of her Amended Complaint, Plaintiff does plead the requisite "touching" element of "battery," so that aspect of the assault and battery claim is not being challenged. With the standard of pleading established in Twombly, supra, in the context of assault, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Rule 12(b)(6). As to the elements of assault, there are no factual allegations as to what was said or done to Plaintiff such that it constituted an "intentional, unlawful offer of corporal injury to another by force, or exertion of force directed toward another under such circumstances as to create a reasonable fear of imminent peril." See ¶12-13 of Am. Comp. In ¶13 alleges that JANE DOE NO. 5 (and another unidentified girl) "were then able to get dressed, leave the room and go back downstairs. Esptein gave both girls money for this 'massage.'" Allegations as to circumstances creating a fear of imminent peril are lacking. Under applicable law, Plaintiff is required to give more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action. Twomblv supra. Plaintiff is required to allege the facts of what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff. As noted in the introduction and as this Court is well aware, there is more than one action brought against this Defendant attempting to allege similar sounding claims. With all due respect, the details as to a particular claim asserted by a particular Plaintiff EFTA00175853

Accordingly, under applicable law, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim for "sexual assault and battery" has Plaintiff has failed to plead requisite factual allegations concerning the assault. In the alternative to dismissing Count I, Defendant requests that Plaintiff be required to give more definite statement as to what was done to her; what EPSTEIN said and did, if anything, to create fear and apprehension in Plaintiff; in pleading the elements of assault. Rule 12(e). Ill - "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 42422" - is subject to dismissal as Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be ar Rule 12031(6). Count ill also contains an immaterial reference to 28 . 42256, which is required to be stricken and more definitely stated. Count Ill of Plaintiff's Complaint attempts to assert a claim for "Coercion and Enticement to Sexual Activity in Violation of 18 . §2422." In her prayer for relief in Count Ill, Plaintiff "demands judgment against Defendant Jeffrey Epstein for all damages available under 28 . §2255(a), ." Although the reference to "28 §2255," pertaining to habeas corpus proceedings — federal custody and remedies on motion attacking sentence, is probably a typographical error by Plaintiff, and the reference to "28" was meant to be "18," Defendant requests that Plaintiff correct this error so that Defendant may have fair notice of the claim Plaintiff is attempting to assert. Whether or not the "28" is typographical error, Defendant is still entitled to dismissal of the count. The applicable version of these statutory provisions, (pre-2006 Amendments, as the Amended Complaint alleges a time period of "in or about 2002-2003," ¶8), provides: EFTA00175854
