Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 305 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/17/2009 Page 2 of 8
3. The undersigned's office began attempting to set the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4
on July 21, 2009. Because of the number of attorneys who would be attending (based on the
court's consolidation order) coordinating the video deposition creates logistical problems.
4. Oa August 27, 2009, the undersigned wrote a letter to counsel for the Plaintiff
indicating that Mr. Epstein would be present at the deposition. A copy of that letter is attached
as Exhibit 1.
5. Some 13 days later, counsel for Jane Doe No. 4 flied a motion for protective order
on September 9, 2009 attempting to prohibit MrEpstein's presence at the deposition. The
Defendant immediately filed a response (an Emergency Motion) on September II, 2009
requesting that the coon enter an order allowing Epstein, the Defendant in this matter, to attend
the deposition. This is common procedure. See Exhibit 2, without exhibits. As of the date of
the deposition, the court had not ruled on these motions.
6. On Monday, counsel for Jane Doe No. 4 and the undersigned spoke, an agreement
was reached that the deposition would proceed as scheduled, and that Mr. Epstein would not be
in attendance other than by telephone or other means. See Exhibit 3.
7. The deposition was originally scheduled on the 15th Floor and moved by Prose to
a larger ground floor to accommodate the number of people who were to attend
8. The undersigned and his partner, Mark T. Luttier, had scheduled a meeting with
Mr. Epstein for approximately an hour prior to the deposition. It is well known through multiple
newspaper articles that Mr. Epstein's office at the Florida Science Foundation is located on the
14i° Floor in the same building as the court reporter and Mr. Epstein's criminal attorney, Mr.
Goldberger. As well, had the court issued an order prior to the deposition that would have
allowed Mr. Epstein to attend, be was readily available.

9. As of 1:00 p.m., no order had been received from the court, so Epstein's
attorneys, in good faith, decided that Epstein would not attend the deposition (as per the
agreement), if we chose to proceed, which we were doing. The undersigned and Mr. Luttier
specifically waited until just after 1:00 o'clock, the time that the deposition was to start, prior to
leaving with Mr. Epstein. Counsel instructed Mr. Epstein to leave the building. Clearly,
Defendant and his counsel simply wish to have meaningful discovery.
10. The undersigned and Mr. Luttier exited the elevator heading toward the
deposition room and Mr. Epstein and his driver, Igor Zinoviev exited in separate elevator at the
same time and turned to depart from through the front entrance such that he could go to his home
to watch the deposition and assist counsel, from a video feed.
11. Completely unbeknownst and unexpected by anyone, apparently the Plaintiff and
her attorney(s) were at the front door where Mr. Epstein was intending to exit. Upon seeing two
women, one who might be the Plaintiff, Mr. Epstein immediately made a left turn and exited
through a separate set of doors to the garage area. See affidavit of Jeffrey Epstein and Igor
Zinoviev, Exhibit 4 and 5, respectively.
12. The entire incident was completely unknown to the undersigned and Mr. Lanier
until Adam Horowitz, Esq. came in and announced that the deposition was not going to take
place in that Mr. Epstein and his client saw one another, she was upset and therefore the
deposition was cancelled from his perspective.
13. The undersigned and his partner, Mr. Luttier, had a court reporter and a
videographer present. Additionally, Mr. Hill on behalf of C.M..A., Adam Langino on behalf of
B.B., William Berger on behalf of three Plaintiffs were present for the deposition.

14. Any suggestion that the chance "visual" between lv1r. Epstein and Jane Doe No. 4
was "pre-planned" would be absurd, disingenuous and false. The undersigned counsel went out
of his way to make certain Mr. Epstein would not be in the building after the time the deposition
was set to begin. Had the Plaintiff and her counsel been in the deposition room at the appointed
time, no visual contact would have occurred.
15. It is possible that Plaintiffs counsel, by filing their motion for protective order on
September 9, 2009 and then advising the undersigned on September 14, 2009 that the deposition
would not go forward unless the undersigned agreed to exclude Mr. Epstein from the deposition,
were not prepared and/or did not want to proceed with the deposition.
16. The unilateral termination of the deposition was unnecessary, inappropriate and a
substantial waste of attorney time and the costs related to the deposition (court reporter and
videographer). (See Affidavit of Robert D. Critton, Jr., Mark T. Lottler and Deposition
Transcript, Exhibits 6, 7, and 8 respectively).
17. Had the "visual" been premeditated, the cancellation of the deposition may have
been justified, however, under these circumstances, it was grandstanding and improper. In that
the Plaintiff has stated that she voluntary went to JE's home 50 plus times without trauma until
she filed a lawsuit, this brief visual encounter from a distance should not have resulted in the
unilateral cancellation of her deposition.
18. The costs associated with the court reporter and videographer total $428.80. See
Exhibit 9.
Memorandum of Law In support of Motion
A substantial amount of administrative time went into the setting up the deposition of
Jane Doe No. 4. Almost two months passed from the time that the Defendant's counsel first

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 305 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/17/2009 Page 5 of 8
requested a date for the deposition of Jane Doe No. 4. The deposition of Jane Doe No. 4 was to
begin at 1:00 p.m, based on her schedule, and was moved from the undersigned's office to the
office of the court reporter at her counsel's request.
Pursuant to Rule 30(d)(2) and (3)(A) and (C) and its reference to 37(a)(5)), Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure, the court may impose an appropriate sanction, including reasonable expenses
in attorneys fees incurred by any party on a person who impedes or delays the fair examination
of the deponent In this instance, the brief visual encounter, which was completely unintended
and inadvertent, should not have been grounds for Plaintiffs counsel and Plaintiff refusing to
move forward with the deposition. Furthermore, pursuant to (3)(A) and (C), Plaintiff and
Plaintiff's counsel had no right to unilaterally tenninatekancel the deposition and fail to move
forward. Plaintiff should have continued with the deposition and filed any motion deemed
appropriate post deposition. Therefore, Defendant is asking for the costs associated with the
attendance of the court reporter, her transcript and the presence of the videographer. Defendant
would also request reasonable fees for 2.5 hours at 5500 per hour for being required to prepare
this motion and affidavits associated with same.
The records obtained thus far on Jane Doe No. 4, do not reflect any "emotional trauma"
by her own account of some 50 plus visits to the Defendant's home prior to the time that she
hired an attorney. Even in her interview with attorney's handpicked expert, Dr. Kliman, by her
own comments, her significant emotional trauma relates to physical and verbal abuse by a prior
boyfriend, Preston Vineyard, and deaths associated with two close friends, Chris and Jen.
Therefore, the supposed "emotional trauma" caused by a chance encounter resulting in a
"glance" at best, should not be the basis for Plaintiff unilaterally cancelling her deposition.

Dear Stuart
Please be advised that Mr. Epstein plans to be in attendance at the deposition of
your client. He does not Intend to engage in any conversation with your client. However, it
is certainly his right as a party-defendant in the lawsuit to be present and to assist counsel
In the defense of any case.

2. Additionally, notices were sent out in other cases in connection with deposing
additional Plaintiffs.
3. No objection(s) was/were received for Jane Doe No. 4, which was the only
deposition set relative to the Jane Doe 2.8 Plaintiffs.
4. On August 27, 2009, the undersigned counsel sent a letter to counsel for Jane Doe
No. 4 concerning her deposition and the scheduling of same on the above date. See Exhibit "2".
5. No response was received until counsel for Jane Doe No. 4 called on September
8, 2009, approximately eight days prior to the scheduled deposition, to indicate that they now
had an objection and would be filing a motion for protective order seeking to prevent Epstein
from attending the deposition. Once again, Plaintiffs are attempting to stifle this litigation
through their own delay tactics during discovery. Plaintiffs wish not only to attempt to force
Epstein to trial without any meaningful discovery, but now wish to ban Epstein from any
depositions, thereby preventing him from assisting his attorneys in his very own defense. What's
next — will Plaintiffs seek to prevent Epstein from attending any of the trials that result from the
lawsuits Jane Does 2-8 have initiated? Plaintiffs sec millions of dollars in damages, both
compensatory and punitive, against Defendant
6. Defendant is filing this emergency motion and his immediate response to the
motion for protective order to guarantee his right to be present and assist counsel in deposing not
only Jane Doe No. 4, but other plaintiffs and witnesses in these cases. To hold otherwise would
violate Epstein's due process rights to defend the very allegations Plaintiffs have alleged against
him. Does a Defendant not have a right to be present at depositions or other court proceedings to
assist counsel with the defense of his case? Does a Defendant, no matter what the charges or the
allegations, have full and unbridled access to the court system and the proceedings it governs,

including discovery? The short answer is unequivocally, yes. To hold otherwise would be a
direct violation of Epstein's constitutional due process rights. Plaintiffs' attempts to play fast
and loose with the law should not be tolerated.
7. As the court is aware, plaintiffs and defendants routinely attend depositions of
parties and other witnesses in both State and Federal court proceedings. In fact, parties have a
right under the law to attend such depositions.
8. As the court will note from Exhibit 2, counsel for the Defendant specifically
slated that "Please be advised that Mr. Epstein plans to be in attendance at the deposition of your
client. lie does rot intend to engage in any conversation with your client. However, it is
certainly his right as a party-defendant in the lawsuit to be present and to assist counsel in the
defense of any case." Despite this right, Plaintiffs continue to attempt to control how discovery
is conducted in this case and how this court has historically governed discovery.
9. Interestingly, in Jane Doe 11, the state court case, attorney Sid Garcia took the
deposition of the Defendant and his client, Jane Doe II, was present throughout the deposition.
This is despite her claims of "emotional trauma" set forth in her complaint. Jane Doe No. 11 is
also a Plaintiff in the federal court proceeding Jane Doe // v. Jeffrey Epstein (Case No. 09-C1V-
80469). Is this court going to start a precedent where it allows Plaintiffs to attend the depositions
of Jeffrey Epstein, but not allow Epstein to attend their depositions (i.e., the very Plaintiffs that
have asserted claims against him for millions of dollars)? This court should not condone such a
practice.
10. The undersigned is well aware of the court's No-Contact Order entered on July
31, 2009 (DE 238). A copy of the order is attached as Exhibit "3". In fact, the order provides
that the defendant have no direct or indirect contact with the plaintiffs, nor communications with

the plaintiffs either directly or indirectly. However, there is no prohibition against Mr. F.pstein's
attendance at a deposition where, as is reflected in the order, the communication wilt be made to
the plaintiff solely through defense counsel with one or more of plaintiffs' counsel of record
present in the room in a videotaped deposition. Obviously, any inappropriate contact or
communication will certainly be flagged by the attorneys in attendance. As such, Plaintiffs
really have the cart before the horse in this instance (i.e., nothing prevents Epstein from attending
these depositions and, to the extent Plaintiffs believe that something improper occurs at any
deposition only then can that circumstance be addressed by a motion such as the instant one.)
11. Next, Plaintiffs, Jane Does 2-8, attempt to use the Affidavit of Dr. Kliman for
every motion for protective order/objection filed to date. This also includes the two most recent
motions, which attempt to prevent Defendant's investigators from doing their job, such that the
Defendant and his attorneys can defend the claims asserted in the's. eases. Plaintiffs lose sight of
the fact that the court, in discussing the Non-Prosecution Agreement, inquired as to whether
Epstein and his counsel could fully defend the case, which included discovery and investigation.
All plaintiffs' counsel and the USAO responded in the affirmative. In fact, Plaintiffs universally
agreed at the June 12, 2009 hearing on Defendant's Motion to Stay that regular discovery could
proceed. la Composite Exhibit "4" at pages 26-30 & 33-34. For instance, the court asked
Plaintiffs' attorneys the following questions:
The Court: [) So again, I just want to make sure that if the cases go forward and
if Mr. Epstein defends the case as someone ordinarily would defend a case being
prosecuted against him or her, that that in and of itself is not going to cause him to
be subject to criminal prosecution? (Ex. "A," p.26).
•Ar •
The Court: You agree he should be able to take the ordinary steps that a
defendant in a civil action can take and not be concerned about having to be
prosecuted? (Ex. "A," p.27).

The Court: Okay. But again, you're in agreement with everyone cisc so far
that's spoken on behalf of a plaintiff that defending the case in the normal course
of conducting discovery and filing motions would not be a breach? (Ex. "A,"
p30).
Mr. Horowitz — counsel for Jane Does 2-7: Subject to your rulings, of course,
yes. (EL "A," p.30).
•**
The Court: But you're not taking the position that other than possibly doing
something in litigation which is any other discovery, motion practice,
investigations that someone would ordinarily do in the course of defending a civil
case would constitute a violation of the agreement? (Ex. "A," p.34).
Ms. Villafana: No, your honor. I mean, civil litigation is civil litigation, and
being able to take discovery is part of what civil litigation is all about... But...,
Mr. Epstein is entitled to take the deposition of a Plaintiff and to subpoena
records, etc. (Ex. "A," p.34)
12. It is clear from the transcript attached as Exhibit "4" that each of the Plaintiffs'
attorneys, including Mr. Horowitz for Jane Does 2-8, expected and conceded that
regular/traditional discovery would take place (i.e., discovery, motion practice, depositions,
requests for records, and investigations).
13. Importantly, Plaintiffs' counsel advised the undersigned that they coordinate their
efforts in joint conference calls at least two times per month. At recent depositions of two
witnesses, Alfredo Rodriguez and Juan Alessi, five different plaintiffs' attorneys questioned the
witnesses for approximately six to eight hours, often repeating the same or similar questions that
had previously been asked.
14. Clearly, the Plaintiffs' counsel wish to control discovery and how the Defendant
is allowed to obtain information to defend these cases. However, the court has ruled on a
number of these issues as follows:
A. Plaintiffs' counsels sought to preclude the Defendant from serving third
party subpoenas and allowing only Plaintiffs' counsel to obtain

depositions and those materials and "filter them" to defense counsel.
That motion was denied, and the court tailored a method such that the
Defendant could obtain the records directly.
B. Plaintiffs' counsels sought to limit the psychological psychiatric
examination in C.M.A. v. Jeffrey Epstein and Sarah Kellen (Case No. 08-
CIV-801311), as to time, subject matter and scope. However, Magistrate
Johnson entered an order denying the requested restrictions.
C. Other Plaintiffs' attorneys have said that they object to requested
psychological exam of their dient(s), thus motions for such exams will
Dow need to be filed; yet all seek millions of dollars in damages for
alleged psychological end emotional trims.
D. Many Plaintiffs' object to discovery regarding current ma past
employment (although they me seeking loss of income, both in past and
future).
E. All Plaintiffs object to prior sexual history, consensual and forced as
being irrelevant, although in many of the medical records that see now
being obtained, as well as the psychiatric exams done by Dr. Kliman,
there is reference to rape, molestation, abusive relationships (both
physical and vabal), prior abortions, illegal drugs and alcohol abuse.
15. Clearly, Plaintiffs wish to make allegations; however, they forget that they must
meet their burden by proving same. Meeting that burden and disproving those allegations is not
possible if this court allows Plaintiffs to stifle and/or control the discovery process.
16. Specifically, with regard to Jane Doe No. 4, which is the deposition set for next
week, September 16, 2009, the plaintiff has in her past (see affidavit of Richard C.W. Hall,
M.D., an expert psychiatrist retained by Defendant to conduct exams on various claimants.)
Exhibit "5"
A. Sought counseling due to a dysfunctional borne situation, specifically with
regard to her father. She described herself as being angry, bitter,
depressed and having body image problems;
B. Had an ex-boyfriend, Preston Vinyard, who was, on information and
belief. a drug dealer who she lived with;
C. Had drug and alcohol problems herself; and

also prepared affidavits regarding Jane Does 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, which are attached to DE
247.
Memorandum Of Law
20. Plaintiffs' motion is required to be denied as they have failed to meet their burden
showing the "extraordinary circumstances" necessary to establish good cause to support a
protective order which would grant the extraordinarily rare relief of preventing a named party
from attending in person the deposition of another named party. Also requiring denial of
Plaintiffs' motion is the fact that it seeks to exclude Epstein from all the depositions of all the
Plaintiffs in actions before this Court. Such relief is unprecedented and attempts to have this
Court look at the Plaintiffs' collectively as opposed to analyzing each ease based on facts versus
broad speculation whether "extraordinary circumstances" exist on a case by case basis. In other
words, the standard is such that the Court would be required to determine whether each Plaintiff
has met her burden, should the Court consider adopting such extraordinary relief. On its face,
the motion does not meet the necessary burden as to Jane Doe 4, or Jane Does 2, 3, 5, 6, or 7.
Pismo ion of Law Requiring the Denial of the Requested Protective Order
Rule 26(cX1XE), Fed.R.Civ.P. (2009), governing protective orders, provides in relevant
part that:

In seeking to prevent the Defendant from being present in the room where the Plaintiffs
arc being deposed, Plaintiffs generally rely on treatise material from Wright & Miller, 8 asicral
Practice & ?Paco:lure Civ.2d, §2041, and cases cited therein. The case of Gaella v. OnaSsis, 487
F.2d 986, at 997 (2d CG. 1973). cited by Plaintiffs, makes clear that the exclusion of a party from
a deposition "should be ordered rarely indeed." Unlike the (Paella case, there is no showing by
ea_sh of the Plaintiffs that there has been any conduct by Epstein, in rightfully defending the
actions filed against him, reflecting "an irrepressible intent to continue ... harassment" of any
Plaintiff or a complete disregard of the judicial process, i.e. prior alleged conduct versus any
action/conduct displayed in this or other cases that would justify extraordinary relief. There is
absolutely no basis in the record to indicate that Epstein will act other than properly and with the
proper decorum at the depositions of the Plaintiffs and abide in all respects with the No-Contact
Order.
Wherefore, Epstein respectfully requests that this Court enter an order denying Plaintiffs'
Motion for Protective Order, provide that Epstein is permitted to attend the depositions of the
Plaintiffs that have asserted claims against him in the related matters, and for such other and
further relief as this court deems just and proper.
