Dixie Highway Room 11F West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Re; State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein Dear Judge Colbath: On behalf of Mr. Epstein, we strongly object to the proposed order submitted by Deanna Shullman on behalf of the Palm Beach Post. The court has already entered an order dated June 25, 2009 on: a) Non-party, M.'s Motion to Vacate Order Sealing Records and Unseal Records b) Palm Beach Post's Motions to Intervene and petition for Access c) Motions to Intervene and for an order to Unseal Records d) Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Make Court Records Confidential. The only matter before the court today was Defendant Epstein's Motion for a Stay which the court denied. Contrary to the assertions in the proposed order submitted to you by the Palm Beach Post, the court made a specific finding-that the Defendant -Epstein-has met his burden of Irreparable harm. Additionally, all of the other matters contained in the proposed order were addressed in the court's Order of June 25, 2009. It is the position of Defendant Epstein that the order on today's Motion to Stay should simply state that the Defendant's Motion to Stay is denied. In this way, the court's order of June 25, 2009 on the merits of the issue and the order of the court One Clearlake Centre, Suite 1400 250 Australian Avenue South WaSt Palm Reach.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE
Ir
IEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN
AND FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY,
FLORIDA
CASE NO. 2008CF009381A
DIVISION W
STATE OF FLORIDA
v.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
Defendant.
EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO STAY DISCLOSURE OF THE NON-
PROSECUTION AGREEMENT AND ADDENDUM PENDING REVIEW
Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("EPSTEIN"), by and through his undersigned
counsel and pursuant to Rule 9.310, Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, moves to stay
disclosure of the Non-Prosecution Agreement and Addendum (collectively, the "NPA")
pending review, and states:
1.
In the event the Court grants Nonparty M.'s Motion to Vacate Order
Sealing Records and Unseal Records, grants Palm Beach Post's Motion to Intervene and
Petition for Access and/or denies EPSTEIN's Motion to Make Court Records
Confidential, EPSTEIN moves to stay the disclosure of the NPA pending review by the
Fourth District Court of Appeals.
2.
Rule 9.310(a), Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, provides in pertinent
part, "...a party seeking to stay a final or non-final order pending review shall file a
motion in the lower tribunal, which shall have continuing jurisdiction, in its discretion , to
grant, modify or deny such relief."
EFTA00231121
Sivu 337 / 1131
3. A stay pending review is warranted under the circumstances because of the irreparable harm that would be caused by disclosure of the NPA including, but not limited to, substantial injury to a party by disclosing matters protected by common law and privacy rights, substantial injury to a compelling government interest, substantial injury to innocent third parties and a serious imminent threat to the fair, impartial and orderly administration of justice as set forth in the hearing record date June 25, 2009. 4. In Mariner Health Care of Nashville, Inc. v. Baker 739.. 24 608, 609 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999), defendant Mariner filed a petition for writ of certiorari after the trial court compelled it to produce certain incident reports. Mariner also moved for a stay pending review pursuant to Fla. R. App. Pro. 9.310. The trial court advised the parties that Mariner would be required to submit the incident reports to the court under seal as a prerequisite to a stay. Mariner refused to produce the documents under seal and the trial court denied the motion for stay and imposed daily fines until the documents were produced. Id. The First District Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's order and noted Mariner has failed to explain how the production of the reports under seal would result in any prejudice. To the contrary, the records will be protected from disclosure during the entire course of the certiorari proceeding before this court. No harm can be done if this court ultimately determines that the reports are protected by the work product privilege. Id. at 610. 5. In the instant case the NPA is already filed under seal. Should the Court grant Nonparty M.'s Motion to Vacate Order Sealing Records and Unseal Records, grant Palm Beach Post's Motion to Intervene and Petition for Access and/or deny 2 EFTA00231122
Sivu 338 / 1131
EPSTEIN's Motion to Make Court Records Confidential, EPSTEIN requests the Court exercise its discretion under Fla R. App. Pro. 9.310(a) and enter a stay pending review by the 4th DCA. 6. No hann will be done if the NPA remains under seal pending appellate review. To the contrary, EPSTEIN will suffer irreparable harm if a stay is not entered and the NPA is disclosed to the public. WHEREFORE, Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, respectfully requests that if the Court grants Nonparty M.'s Motion to Vacate Order Sealing Records and Unseal Records, grants Palm Beach Post's Motion to Intervene and Petition for Access and/or denies EPSTEIN's Motion to Make Court Records Confidential, the Court enter a stay pending review and grant any additional relief the Court deems just and proper.
