PLAINTIFF JANE DOE NO. 2's MOTION TO COMPEL 
COMPLIANCE WITH SUBPOENA AND FOR ORDER 
OF CONTEMPT AGAINST ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ, 
AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW 
Plaintiffs, Jane Doe No. 2, et al., by and through undersigned counsel, hereby file 
this Motion to Compel Compliance with Subpoena and for Order of Contempt Against 
Alfredo Rodriguez, and Incorporated Memorandum of Law, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 
45(e), and state as follows: 
1. 
On July 25, 2009, Alfredo Rodriguez, a nonparty, was personally served a 
subpoena duces tecum to appear for deposition on July 29, 2009 ("the subpoena'). I The 
I Rodriguez was originally scheduled to appear for deposition on July 23, 2009, but failed 
to appear, claiming that he had "car troubles." Plaintiffs' counsel arranged for car service 
for him to appear at the July 29, 2009 deposition.

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 469 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/17/2010 Page 2 of 7 
subpoena and proof of service are attached as Exhibit "A." He was commanded to 
provide testimony and produce the following: 
Any and all journals, notes, diaries, writings or other 
documents referring to or relating to Jeffrey Epstein or 
events or incidents occurring at his residence located at 358 
El Brillo Way, Palm Beach, Florida, including without 
limitation, the journal you described to Palm Beach Police 
that contains the names of girls who visited the residence. 
2. 
Rodriguez did not object to the subpoena, nor did he claim the requested 
documents were privileged. He appeared for deposition on July 29, 2009, and August 7, 
2009, but he filed to bring any of the requested documents. During his testimony on 
August 7, 2009, he swore that he had no responsive documents in his possession, and that 
he had turned over all such documents to the Palm Beach Police, including a journal 
which listed the names and phone numbers of young girls who came to the residence 
where he worked to give "massages" to Jeffrey Epstein. agg Exhibit "B", deposition 
transcript of Alfredo Rodriguez, taken August 7, 2009, pp. 318-319. 
3. 
On February 1, 2010, Rodriguez was arraigned in federal court on 
obstruction of justice charges based on allegations that he intentionally withheld 
documents fiom federal and state law enforcement authorities. These withheld documents 
encompass those requested in Plaintiffs' subpoena, including the journal listing names 
and phone numbers of young girls. According to the criminal complaint, after making 
misrepresentations to federal law enforcement authorities and withholding documents, he 
attempted to sell these documents to a cooperating witness for $50,000. Rodriguez made 
this offer after his deposition on August 7, 2009, at which he testified under oath that he 
did not possess the documents. A copy of the criminal complaint is attached hereto as 
Exhibit "C".

4. 
It is likely that Rodriguez remains in possession of at least a copy of the 
journal that is the subject of the subpoena. Nonetheless, even if he did not retain a copy 
of the documents he handed to the cooperating witness, Rodriguez has the right to 
possession of those documents. Specifically, they are subject to production to Rodriguez 
in the discovery phase of his criminal case. The Assistant U.S. Attorney has an 
affirmative duty to produce all evidence in her possession that is material to the guilt of 
Alfredo Rodriguez, regardless of whether that information was requested by the 
Defendant or not 
See United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667 (1985). See 
e 
Fed.R.Crim P. 16(a)(IXE). Evidence is material that creates a reasonable probability that 
the outcome of a criminal proceeding would be different if suppressed. PI at 682. The 
journal in question is the central piece of evidence in the prosecution's case against 
Alfredo Rodriguez. Accordingly, Alfredo Rodriguez has, at the very least, a right to 
possession of the document that are the subject of the Plaintiff's subpoena. 
5. 
Rule 45(aX1)(i), Fed.R.Civ.P., permits a party to subpoena documents 
from a nonparty that are within "that person's possession, custody or control." The term 
"control" under the federal discovery rules includes not only documents in the nonparty's 
possession, but also "the legal right to obtain the documents requested on demand." 
Searock v. Stripling, 736 F.2d 650 (11th Cir. 1984). Rodriguez has this right to obtain 
the subpoenaed documents under Battlev or in the normal course of discovery in his 
criminal case. 2 Therefore, it would not be an excuse or response that Rodriguez does not 
at this moment have possession of the subpoenaed documents. 
2 These documents, moreover, are not subject to the Fifth Amendment "act of 
production" privilege since they are already in the possession of the government and their

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 469 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/17/2010 Page 4 of 7 
6. 
Plaintiffs' counsel has no other means of obtaining a copy of the 
documents in Rodriguez's possession except by means of an Order requiring full 
compliance with the July 25, 2009 subpoena. 
7. 
Plaintiff further seeks an Order pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 45(e) to bold 
Rodriguez in contempt of court, together with sanctions as this Court deems appropriate. 
8. 
A Commentary to Rule 45(e) notes "the special role that contempt plays in 
enforcing subpoenas against nonparty witnesses". Fed.R.Civ.P. 45(e) (Commentary C45-
26, Contempt). Where a nonparty fails to comply with a subpoena, "the threat of 
contempt is the only remedy." Ida The civil contempt power of the Court extends to jail 
of the nonparty to enforce compliance: 
The contempt most often associated with the disobedience 
of a subpoena is the category of "civil" contempt, the 
purpose of which is to enforce compliance in the particular 
case, with any penalty imposed designed to further the 
rights of the party in whose behalf the subpoena issued. 
When it is still within a person's power to comply, for 
example, and the person willfully refuses to, the person can 
be jailed until compliance is offered. Even the jailing in 
that case is an aspect of civil, not criminal, contempt. 
9. 
Plaintiffs' counsel has conferred with federal public defender David 
Brannon, who stated that Alfredo Rodriguez objects to the relief requested in this Motion 
in that Alfredo Rodriguez claims to no longer be in possession of responsive documents. 
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs, Jane Doe No. 2 et al., respectfully request (1) an Order 
requiring Alfredo Rodriguez to comply with the lawfully issued subpoena duces tecum and 
produce copies of all documents in his care, custody or control relating to Jeffrey Epstein, 
production would not "implicitly authenticate" them. Se.e Fisher v. United States, 425 
U.S. 391, 410 (1976).

including without limitation, the log of names and phone numbers he recently attempted to sell 
to a cooperating witness; (2) an order holding Alfredo Rodriguez in contempt of court for 
failure to comply with the lawfully issued subpoena, and providing that Alfredo Rodriguez 
shall produce the requested documents to Plaintiffs' counsel by a date certain or be arrested and 
jailed for civil contempt until such time as the documents are produced; and (3) any and all 
other relief this Court deems appropriate. 
Certificate Pursuant to S.D.Fla.L.R. 7.1(A)(3) 
Counsel for the movant has conferred with counsel for the nonparty affected by the 
relief sought in this Motion in a good faith effort to resolve the issues raised in the Motion and 
has been unable to do so.

AFFIDAVIT
I, Christina J. Pryor, being duly sworn, do state and attest as follows: 
1. 
I am a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and have 
been so employed for three (3) months. I am currently assigned to the Safe Streets Task 
Force, Miami Field Division, FBI Squad PB-2. Prior to joining the Miami Field Division, 
I attended the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, for five (5) months where I received 
training in federal criminal laws and investigation techniques, including the laws related to 
obstruction of justice. 
2. 
This affidavit is based upon my own personal knowledge of the facts and 
circumstances surrounding the investigation, and information provided to me by other law 
enforcement officers. This affidavit does not purport to contain all the information known 
to me about this case but addresses only that information necessary to support a finding of 
probable cause for the issuance of a criminal complaint charging Alfredo Rodriguez with 
obstruction of official proceedings, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 
1512(c). 
3. 
On October 27, 2009, agents of the FBI met with and interviewed a 
cooperating witness ("CW"). The CW reported that, while conducting discovery in a 
pending civil case before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, 
he came into contact with Alfredo Rodriguez ("Rodriguez"), who was a subpoenaed witness 
in the civil case. 
4. 
Rodriguez had been interviewed by FBI agents on January 18, 2007, in 
connection with a federal criminal investigation into the sexual exploitation of minors. Prior

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 469-3 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/17/2010 Page 3 of 7 
Case 9:09-mj-08308-LRJ t ocument 3 Entered on FLSD O°0V/09/2009 Page 3 of 7 
to being interviewed by FBI, Rodriguez had also been contacted and interviewed by local 
police detectives, and had been asked to produce documents related to the criminal 
Investigation. The civil litigation involving the CW related to civil damages claims made by 
victims of the criminal activity that formed the basis of the state and federal criminal 
investigations. 
5. 
The CW explained to agents that Rodriguez had been deposed under oath on 
two occasions. The first deposition occurred on July 27, 2009, and the second deposition 
was conducted on August 9, 2009. In connection with those depositions, Rodriguez was 
served with a subpoena duces tecum that called for the production of several types of 
documentary evidence. The CW was present for both depositions and Rodriguez testified 
that he had no documents responsive to the subpoena ducts tecum. 
6. 
In August 2009, after the conclusion of the second deposition, the CW received 
a phone call from Rodriguez. Rodriguez informed the CW that he had additional information 
that he had not previously disclosed to any law enforcement agency or any of the civil 
attorneys. Rodriguez described the information as, the Holy Grail or Golden Nugget and 
explained that he had compiled lists of additional victims in the case and their contact 
information. Rodriguez explained that the information contained hundreds of additional 
victims and their phone numbers from diverse geographic locations, including New York, 
New Mexico, and Paris, France. 
7. 
Rodriguez asked the CW to pay him $50,000.00 and, in return, Rodriguez 
would turn over the documents relating to the victims. In his initial and subsequent

Case 9:09-mj-08308-LRJ itsoaiment 3 Entered on FLSD Docket 2/09/2009 Page 4 of 7 
communications with Rodriguez, the CW explained to Rodriguez that he was under 
subpoena to turn over such information and that it would be illegal for Rodriguez to demand 
money for turning over the information. Rodriguez persisted that he would only turn over 
the information in his possession in exchange for S50,000.00. 
8. 
On October 28, 2009, in a consensually-monitored phone call, the CW 
telephoned Rodriguez. 
Rodriguez again indicated that he would not turn over the 
information relating to the additional victims without monetary compensation. Rodriguez 
was told that an associate of the CW would be in touch with him regarding the information 
and exchange. The associate that the CW referred to was, in fact, an undercover employee 
(UCE) of the FBI. 
9. 
On October 29, 2009, the FBI LICE contacted Rodriguez via telephone. 
Rodriguez again explained that he would only turn over the information in exchange for 
monetary compensation. The UCE advised Rodriguez that it would take several days to 
acquire the funds and that once the funds were obtained, he/she would contact Rodriguez. 
During the conversation, Rodriguez admitted that he knew that the information was relevant 
to the FBI's criminal investigation and was called for by the investigation. Rodriguez 
explained that he had not turned over the information to the FBI because: (1) it was his 
"property" and he should be compensated for it; and (2) he was afraid that the target of the 
investigation would make him "disappear" or otherwise harm him, and the information was 
his "insurance policy." 
10. 
On November 2, 2009, the UCE made contact with Rodriguez via telephone.

Case 9:09-mj-08308-LRJ Zument 3 Entered on FLSD Docket 12!09/2009 Page 5 of 7 
In that conversation, Rodriguez and the UCE continued the discussion regarding the purchase 
of the documents and scheduled a meeting for the following day. 
11. 
On November 3, 2009, Rodriguez met with the UCE at a predetermined 
location. During the meeting, Rodriguez produced a small bound book and several sheets 
of legal pad paper containing hand written notes. Rodriguez explained that he had taken the 
bound book from his former employer's residence while employed there in 2004 to 2005 and 
that the book had been created by persons working for his former employer. Rodriguez 
discussed in detail the information contained within the book, and identified important 
information to the UCE. In addition, Rodriguez admitted he had previously lied to FBI. 
Rodriguez asked the UCE about the $50,000.00, took possession of the money, and began 
counting it. 
12. 
Rodriguez was then detained for Obstruction of Official Proceedings, Title 18, 
U.S. Code, Section 1512(c), and questioned. After Miranda warnings were administered by 
agents, Rodriguez waived his rights and signed a written waiver of those rights. Rodriguez 
admitted that he had the documents and book in his possession and had never turned them 
over to local law enforcement or the FBI. In addition, Rodriguez advised he had witnessed 
nude girls whom he believed were underage at the pool area of his former employer's home, 
knew that his former employer was engaging in sexual contact with underage girls, and had 
viewed pornographic images of underage girls on computers in his employer's home. 
Rodriguez was then released from custody for further investigation. 
13. 
The items that Rodriguez had attempted to sell to the UC for 550,000.00

ocument 3 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/09/2009 Page 6 of 7 
were reviewed by an agent familiar with the underlying criminal investigation. As Rodriguez 
had described, the items contained information material to the underlying investigation that 
would have been extremely useful in investigating and prosecuting the case, including the 
names and contact information of material witnesses and additional victims. Had those items 
been produced in response to the inquiries of the state law enforcement officers or the FBI 
Special Agents, their contents would have been presented to the federal grand jury. 
Based upon the foregoing, your affiant believes that probable cause exists to believe 
that, from at least as early as January 18, 2007 through on or about November 3, 2009, in 
Palm Beach County, in the Southern District of Florida, and elsewhere, Alfredo Rodriguez 
did corruptly conceal a record, document, or other object, with the intent to impair the 
object's availability for use in an official proceeding and otherwise corruptly obstructed or 
impeded an official proceeding, in violation ofTitle 18, United States Code, Section 1512(c).
