Case 9:08-cv-80804-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/21/2008 Page 14 of 100 Here, Jane Doe cannot assert a cause of action for "violation of Chapter 800, Florida Statutes" (Am. Compl. ¶ 18) because there is no private right of action under that Chapter. See generally Am. Home Assurance Co. v. Plaza Materials Corp., 908 So. 2d 360, 374 (Fla. 2005) (observing that "not every statutory violation carries a civil remedy" (citing Villazon v. Prudential Health Care Plan, Inc. 843 So. 2d 842, 852 (Fla. 2003))). See also, e.g., Miami Herald Publ'g Co. v. Ferre, 636 F. Stipp. 970 (S.D. Fla. 1985) (King, C.J.) (holding that violation of Florida's criminal extortion statute does not give rise to a civil cause of action for damages); Mantooth v. Richards, 557 So. 2d 646, 646 (Ha. 4th DCA 1990) (per curiam) (affirming dismissal of plaintiffs claim for parental kidnapping where "the mentioned statutes concern only criminal violations and do not afford a civil remedy") (citation omitted) (emphasis added); Wright v. Yurko, 446 So. 2d 1162, 1 165 (Ha. 5th DCA 1984) (holding that "[a]n act which does not constitute a basis for a cause of action against one person cannot be made the basis for a civil action for conspiracy"). In this case, Jane Doe's claim under Count H (civil conspiracy) fails because it derives exclusively from Count I (violation of Chapter 800, Florida Statutes). Cf grant of summary judgment against claim for independent conspiracy, noting that "lwihen the concerted acts of the defendants do not create a greater harm than if the acts v‘ ere committed by one person alone. then there can be no recovery"). 14 Lewis "rein it 3059 GuNoAvmvt,Suirt 340.,Cccaivr Grow.

Case 9:08-cv-80804-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/21/2008 Page 15 of 100 Buchanan v. Miami Herald Publ'g Co., 230 E. 2d 9, 12 (Fla. 1969) (holding that where Count I of the complaint had failed to state a cause of action for malicious prosecution, there could be no civil-conspiracy claim in Count II "based on the allegations of Count I"). Because the statute she expressly pleads as the basis for Count I, Chapter 800, Florida Statutes, provides no civil remedy, Jane Doe cannot prevail on Count I. Therefore, she cannot prevail on her claim for conspiracy (Count II) to violate Chapter 800, Florida Statutes (Count I). (II) The laintiff cannot prevail against nondivcrsc defendant on her claim for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED). Even if the plaintiff, for the sake of argument, can assert an IIED claim against Jeffrey Epstein, the plaintiff still does not have a cause of action for IIED against First, the plaintiff cannot recover damages in connection with her own illegal conduct; and second, the plaintiffs purported IIED claim fails as a matter of law. 15 Le.Vp:rein n. 3059Gams Avtrout, Sun 340, COCON.J1 Gaol. 1100 D.33133 IS of 316 EFTA00231027

Case 9:08-cv-80804-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/21/2008 Page 16 of 100 1. The plaintiff seeks damages in connection with her own illegal conduct. The plaintiff concedes that she went to Jeffrey Epstein's house "to give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation." (Am. Compl. ¶ 13.) The plaintiff also concedes, in the guise of an allegation, that "brought Jane Doe to Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach" to help the plaintiff execute her own plan. (Am. Compl. ¶ 13.) Yet, the plaintiff's plan was illegal: under Florida law, it is a cringe "to practice massage" without a license. § 480.047, Ha. Stat. (1997). To say it another way, the plaintiff admits that she went to Mr. Epstein's house to commit a crime. Based on these allegations, it is clear that the plaintiff seeks damages in connection with her own illegal conduct; this is enough to support a finding of fraudulent joinder. See Florence v. Crescent Resources, LLC, 484 F.3d 1293, 1298 n.3 (11th Cir. 2007) (acknowledging that "under some circumstances, application of an affirmative defense can support a finding of fraudulent joinder). This conclusion is supported by well-established principles. Under Florida law, a plaintiff cannot recover damages flowing from her own illegal conduct. See Hall v. Hall, 93 Fla. 709, 112 So. 622, 628 (1927) (referring to "the universal rule of our law that one in a court of justice cannot complain . . . of another's wrong whereof he was a partaker") (internal quotation marks and citation 16 Lewis Tein,,. 3059 Gunn Iwthui.Stalit 340.

1998) ("[N]o public policy should allow appellant to recover damages as a result of
engaging in criminal conduct such as occurred in this case."). Cf Ewe!! v. Daggs,
108 U.S. 143, 149 (1883) (stating that "'[n]o court will lend its aid to a [plaintiff'
who founds [a] cause of action upon an immoral or an illegal ace") (quoting
Holman v. Johnson, 98 Eng. Rep. 1120 (K.B. 1775)); see also id. (explaining that
this policy is "not for the sake of the defendant, but because [the courts] will not
lend their aid to such a plaintiff" (quoting Holman, 98 Eng. Rep. 1120))
(emphasis added); Balas v. Ruzzo, 703 So. 2d 1076, 1082 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997)
(Harris, J., concurring) (remarking in the context of an action brought against an
alleged prostitution house that "the court should continue its tradition of not
interceding in civil conflicts involving transactions that are either illegal or are
against public policy").
Based on the foregoing, the plaintiff cannot blame someone else (
) for the consequences of her own criminal conduct. Cf. Feld & Sons, Inc.
v. Pechner, Dorfman, Wolffe, Rounick and Cabot, 458 A.2d 545, 552 (Pa. Super.
Ct. 1983) (holding that law-firm clients could not recover damages flowing from
their own criminal acts, even though clients' lawyers had suggested the unlawful
conduct to begin with). See also Turner v. Anderson, 704 So. 2d 748, 751 (Fla. 4th

Case 9:08-cv-80804-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/21/2008 Page 18 of 100 DCA 1998) (approving reasoning in Feld & Sons, holding that "no public policy should allow [a plaintiff] to recover damages as a result of engaging in criminal conduct" where the plaintiff had provided false testimony at an arbitration proceeding). 2. The plaintiff's IIED claim fails as a matter of law. To state a cause of action for TIED, a complaint must allege four elements: II) deliberate or reckless infliction of mental suffering; (2) outrageous conduct; (3) the conduct caused the emotional distress; and (4) the distress was severe. Metro. Life Ins. Co. v. McCarson, 467 So. 2d 277, 278 (Fla. 1985). Whether conduct is outrageous enough to support a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress is a question of law, not a question of fact. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Steadman, 968 So. 2d 592, 595 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007) (citations omitted). In this case, without reaching the question of "outrage," the plaintiff has failed to show that conduct - - allegedly arranging an illegal sexual massage that the plaintiff herself agreed to perform - - itself caused the plaintiff to suffer any emotional distress. Even if the alleged agreement was fraudulently induced, the plaintiff's IIED claim flows from Epstein's alleged conduct, not the joint conduct of and Doe in planning the massage. 18 LewfrA,Tvinn. 3059 GaAs° Rvav E.

(iii) The plaintiff cannot prevail on her claim for civil remedies
for criminal practices or racketeering ("civil RICO") pled in
Count IV.
A cause of action under section 772.104, Florida Statutes ("Civil Remedies
for Criminal Practices") requires a showing of direct injury. Even assuming for
the sake of argument that Jane Doe can establish that the defendants engaged in a
"pattern of criminal activity," she cannot establish that she was directly injured by
those activities.
Section 772.104 allows someone to bring a civil RICO claim only if "he or
she has been injured by reason of any RICO violation. § 772.104, Fla. Stat.
(2007). Here, the allegations in Count IV, even if they are true, do not add up to a
civil RICO claim because there is no proximate cause between the purported
"pattern of criminal activity" and Jane Doe's alleged injuries.
In a doomed attempt to satisfy the extremely high burden of pleading civil
RICO under Florida law, the Amended Complaint lists a series of violations rooted
in Florida's prostitution statutes. (Am. Compl. 1 31.) According to the Amended
Complaint, the defendants participated in a criminal enterprise . . . or conspir[acyj"
(Am. Compl. 1 30) over an unspecified length of time "to repeatedly find and
bring [Jeffrey Epstein) underage girls . . . in order for Epstein to solicit, coerce,
entice, compel, or force such girls in acts of prostitution and/or lewdness" (Am.

Case 9:08-cv-80804-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/21/2008 Page 20 of 100 Compl. ¶ 32). The alleged "pattern of criminal activity" comprises violations of Chapter 796, Florida Statutes—the chapter that proscribes various crimes of prostitution.13 These allegations do not tie directly into Jane Doe's alleged psychic injuries. In contrast to a cognizable RICO claim, this action concerns only an isolated occurrence. More important, the alleged injuries in this case are pled to have resulted from an alleged sexual assault, an assault "in violation of Chapter 800 of the Florida Statutes" (Am. Compl. ¶ 18)—not anything having to do with the facilitation of prostitution, or more succinctly, the violation of Florida's prostitution law. Civil RICO claims are extraordinarily difficult to plead successfully. There are examples in the case law of RICO claims stemming from a prostitution enterprise, but they are vastly different from what plaintiff pleads here. They involve, for example, prostitutes who sued a house of prostitution (as an "enterprise") for inflicting systematic and repetitive abuse on them, over time. See Bala: v. Ruzzo, 703 So. 2d 1076, 1077 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997) (offering an example of a civil RICO claim against the operators of an alleged "house of prostitution," 13 The Amended Complaint alleges a "pattern of criminal activity" comprising the following criminal violations: §§ 796.03, 796.07(2)0), 796.07(2)(h), 796.045, and 796.04, Fla.

Case 9:08-cv-80804-KAM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/21/2008 Page 21 of 100 where petitioners alleged that they had "suffered emotional pain, anguish, humiliation, insult, indignity, loss of self-esteem, inconvenience, hurt and emotional distress" as a result of being forced repeatedly, over time, to "perform sexual acts to retain their employment"). Here, even if the Amended Complaint can be read to plead that the defendants schemed to solicit other massages from other people (see, e.g., Am. Compl. ¶¶ 9, 11, 12, 32), those activities are not alleged in any way to have impacted Jane Doe. Cf., e.g., Palmas Y Bambu, S.A. v. E.I. Dupont De Nemours & Co., Inc., 881 E. 2d 565, 570 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004) (holding that "'indirect injuries, that is injuries sustained not as a direct result of predicate acts . . . will not allow recovery under Florida RICO."' (quoting O'Malley v. St. Thomas Univ., Inc., 599 M. 2d 999, 1000 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992))) (emphasis added). Because the Amended Complaint does not satisfy the direct-injury requirement under Florida's RICO law, Jane Doe has failed to allege a cause of action against for violation of section 772.103, Florida Statutes.

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1446(d), defendants have served this Notice of Removal on July 18, 2008. All papers filed in State Court are attached to this Removal Petition. 3.
