UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 08-80736-CIV-MARRA
JANE DOE 1 AND JANE DOE 2,
Petitioners,
vs
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
Limited Intervenor.
LIMITED INTERVENOR JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO FILE A REPLY ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 22, 2019
Limited Intervenor JEFFREY EPSTEIN, through undersigned counsel, respectfully
moves the Court for an Order granting him leave to file a reply to Petitioners' Reply to
Intervenor Epstein's Brief in Opposition to Proposed Remedies (DE 466), on or before
August 22, 2019.
1. On May 13, 2019, this Court entered an Order (DE 454) setting a briefing
schedule for the Petitioners to file their initial submission on proposed remedies,
the government and Mr. Epstein to file a response, and for Petitioners to file a
reply.
2. Petitioners filed their initial submission on May 23, 2019 (DE 458), the
government filed its response on June 24, 2019 (DE 462), Mr. Epstein filed his

Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 468 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/24/2019 Page 2 of 5
response on July 8, 2019 (DE 463), and Petitioners filed their replies to the
government and Mr. Epstein's submissions on July 9 & 23, 2019, respectively
(DE 464; DE 466).
3. Petitioners' reply to Mr. Epstein's Brief (DE 466) is 65 pages long. In that reply,
among other things, Petitioners' counsel:
a) raise an issue, for the first time, about the binding nature of the NPA
on other districts, which is not relevant to the issues before the Court and has
never been briefed before this Court (DE 466:3-5);
b) rely on sealed documents that Mr. Epstein has never seen (DE 466:19-
23, 48), to argue, for the first time at the remedy phase, that a purported
conflict of interest that allegedly plagued one of Mr. Epstein's lawyers
somehow requires partial rescission of the NPA, despite that it is a criminal
defendant's sixth amendment right — not an alleged victim's — to insist that
the defendant be represented by conflict-free counsel;
c) rely heavily on the case of San Pedro v. United States, 79 f.3d 1065,
1068 (11" Cir. 1999) (DE 466:24-25, 38), an easily distinguished case not
cited by Petitioners in their initial submission (DE 458) that Mr. Epstein has
never had an opportunity to address;
d) adopt positions that are different from their initial submission,
compare DE 466:27 (now defining "partial rescission" as "rescission of the
immunity provisions for only those victims who seek rescission") with DE
2
EFTA00021513
Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 468 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/24/2019 Page 3 of 5
458:4, 5, 13 (not limiting the request for partial rescission to only
Petitioners);
e) accuse Mr. Epstein's counsel of "misleading briefing" in the section
on the general releases in the Settlement Agreements (DE 466:42), for using
ellipses in place of the words "compensatory or punitive damages," even
though the general releases preclude all actions or claims in equity against
Mr. Epstein which, by definition, involve injunctive relief and do not involve
compensatory or punitive damages;
0 contend that the Court's Order (DE 454:2) permitting the filing of
affidavits and declarations at the remedy phase undermines Mr. Epstein's
procedural due process argument (DE 466:7-10), a contention to which Mr.
Epstein has never had an opportunity to respond;
g) mischaracterize Mr. Epstein's discussion of the Walke• case (DE
464:55-56), inasmuch as it was not the Seventh Circuit's ruling in Walker
that Mr. Epstein claimed was "entirely confused," but rather the Petitioners'
discussion of it in their initial submission. (DE 463:25); and
h) advocate for a remarkably primitive view of the constitutional role of
defense lawyers, labeling as "bad faith" defense counsel's denial of their
presumptively innocent client's guilt (DE 466:21), and claiming that they are
"instigators" of government violations as a result of demands they made,
without coercion or bribery, during the normal back and forth of plea
negotiations.

4. Given the new arguments, changed position, and the stakes involved, Mr.
Epstein respectfully requests leave to file a reply to Petitioners' recent
submission on or before August 22, 2019.
5. Mr. Epstein is currently detained at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in
Manhattan. As a result, it is more time-consuming to review drafts of a
submission with him before the submission is filed.
6. Counsel for Mr. Epstein communicated with AUSA Jill E. Steinberg, counsel
for the government, who advises that the government does not object. Counsel
for Mr. Epstein also communicated with Paul Cassell, counsel for the
Petitioners, who advises that the Petitioners will likely object.
