Re: Jane Does 2-7 v. Jeffrey stein
To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed please find federal subpoenas for the sworn statements of several witnesses taken
during the investigation of Jeffrey Edward Epstein between approximately 2006 and 2007. The
statements we seek are those given to the FBI by our clients, each of whom has brought suit as a Jane
Doe in the Southern District of Florida. The statements given to the FBI investigators are directly
relevant because the FBI investigation concerned the factual allegations underlying our clients'
claims in their lawsuits.
It is my understanding that you will also require either a signed waiver from each of the
women or a court order to release the information. I will move the court for an Order allowing you
to release this information to me.
If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
J ca D. Arbour

PLAINTIFFS JANE DOE NOS. 2-7'S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF
PLAINTIFFS' SWORN STATEMENTS TO FBI INVESTIGATORS
Plaintiffs, Jane Does Nos. 2-7, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby file this
Reply in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Plaintiffs' Sworn Statements to
FBI Investigators (DE 489), and state as follows:
1. Plaintiffs seek an Order from this Court compelling the FBI to comply with a
subpoena duces tecum for their sworn statements given to FBI investigators during the FBI's
investigation of Defendant Epstein. The FBI, which has received notice of this Motion, filed no
opposition, but instead instructed Plaintiffs' undersigned counsel that such an Order is necessary
to comply with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a). Nevertheless, Defendant Epstein objects on
the basis that the subpoena does not comply with internal operating procedures of the FBI and
Department of Justice set forth in federal regulations.

Case 9:08-cv-8011S-KAPDocument 526 Entered on FLSD 11Pcket 04/12/2010 Page 2 of 5
2. Initially, Defendant Epstein has no standing to raise objections to a subpoena
directed to nonparty FBI. "A party has standing to object to a subpoena directed at a nonparty
when the party claims a 'personal right or privilege' regarding the documents sought " Chaikin
v. Fidelity and Guaranty Life Ins. Co. 2003 WL 22715826 (N.D. Ill. 2003) (emphasis supplied).
Defendant Epstein does not claim any personal right or privilege regarding the documents
sought, nor could he.
3. In any event, on March 12, 2010, Plaintiff's undersigned counsel conferred with
an FBI representative who instructed her as to the proper procedure for obtaining the Plaintiffs'
statements. See Affidavit of Jessica Arbour, Esq., attached as Exhibit "1." In accordance with
those instructions, Plaintiffs' counsel served a subpoena on the Records Custodian of the FBI
that same day.
4. Plaintiffs counsel received a letter from the General Counsel of the FBI
confirming receipt of the subpoena and that the FBI would produce the requested information
when either a signed authorization from each Plaintiff was received or an Order of this Court was
received. That letter is attached as Exhibit "2."
5. In accordance with the FBI's verbal and written instructions, Plaintiffs moved this
Court for an Order to comply with the Privacy Act on March 17, 2010.
6. Plaintiffs have a right to the sworn statements they gave to the FBI investigators,
and Defendant Epstein only seeks to delay them from receiving the statements, all of which are
relevant and material to these cases.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 respectfully request that this Court grant
Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7's Sworn Statements to FBI
Investigators (DE 489).

2. On or about March 12, 2010, I spoke with FBI Paralegal Specialist Deborah

sworn statements our clients gave to FBI investigators during the federal investigation of Jeffrey
Epstein, and that I needed instructions from her as to the proper procedure.

comply with the Privacy Act. Third, I would need to provide either a signed, notarized
authorization from each of my clients waiving their rights under the Privacy Act or an Order
from this Court ordering the FBI to comply with the subpoena.
4. On March 12, 2010, Plaintiffs served a subpoena duces tecum, attached to the

5. On March 16, 2010, I received a letter from FBI General Counsel
confirming that the FBI had received my subpoena and that they would await an Order from this
Court or the signed authorizations from each of the Plaintiffs before producing the requested
documents. I had previously informed him that I would seek an Order from this Court.
6. Given that discovery deadlines are approaching, a Motion was filed with this

believes that is the most efficient and timely means of obtaining the Plaintiffs' statements.

PLAINTIFFS JANE DOE NOS. 2-7'S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF
PLAINTIFFS' SWORN STATEMENTS TO FBI INVESTIGATORS
Plaintiffs, Jane Does Nos. 2-7, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby file this
Reply in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Plaintiffs' Sworn Statements to
FBI Investigators (DE 489), and state as follows:
1. Plaintiffs seek an Order from this Court compelling the FBI to comply with a
subpoena duces tecum for their sworn statements given to FBI investigators during the FBI's
investigation of Defendant Epstein. The FBI, which has received notice of this Motion, filed no
opposition, but instead instructed Plaintiffs' undersigned counsel that such an Order is necessary
to comply with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a). Nevertheless, Defendant Epstein objects on
the basis that the subpoena does not comply with internal operating procedures of the FBI and
Department of Justice set forth in federal regulations.

Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 526 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/12/2010 Page 2 of 5
2. Initially, Defendant Epstein has no standing to raise objections to a subpoena
directed to nonparty FBI. "A party has standing to object to a subpoena directed at a nonparty
when the party claims a 'personal right or privilege' regarding the documents sought." Chaikin
v. Fidelity and Guaranty Life Ins. Co. 2003 WL 22715826 (N.D. III. 2003) (emphasis supplied).
Defendant Epstein does not claim any personal right or privilege regarding the documents
sought, nor could he.
3. In any event, on March 12, 2010, Plaintiffs undersigned counsel conferred with
an FBI representative who instructed her as to the proper procedure for obtaining the Plaintiffs'
statements. See Affidavit of Jessica Arbour, Esq., attached as Exhibit "1." In accordance with
those instructions, Plaintiffs' counsel served a subpoena on the Records Custodian of the FBI
that same day.
4. Plaintiffs counsel received a letter from the General Counsel of the FBI
confirming receipt of the subpoena and that the FBI would produce the requested information
when either a signed authorization from each Plaintiff was received or an Order of this Court was
received. That letter is attached as Exhibit "2."
5. In accordance with the FBI's verbal and written instructions, Plaintiffs moved this
Court for an Order to comply with the Privacy Act on March 17, 2010.
6. Plaintiffs have a right to the sworn statements they gave to the FBI investigators,
and Defendant Epstein only seeks to delay them from receiving the statements, all of which are
relevant and material to these cases.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 respectfully request that this Court grant
Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7's Sworn Statements to FBI
Investigators (DE 489).

COUNTY OF MIAMI-DADE
Jessica Arbour deposes and states as follows:
1. My name is Jessica Arbour. I am an attorney at Mermelstein & Horowitz, P.A.,
the law firm representing Jane Doe Nos. 2-7.
2. On or about March 12, 2010, I spoke with FBI Paralegal Specialist Deborah
Moore at the FBI's North Miami Beach office. I informed her that I wanted to get copies of the
sworn statements our clients gave to FBI investigators during the federal investigation of Jeffrey
Epstein, and that I needed instructions from her as to the proper procedure.
3. Ms. Moore informed me that it was a three-step process: First, I should serve the
FBI with a subpoena listing the specific statements I wanted. Second, I should provide them

with a "compliance letter" that stated the reasons I was requesting the information in order to
comply with the Privacy Act. Third, I would need to provide either a signed, notarized
authorization from each of my clients waiving their rights under the Privacy Act or an Order
from this Court ordering the FBI to comply with the subpoena.
4. On March 12, 2010, Plaintiffs served a subpoena duces tecum, attached to the
original Motion as Exhibit 1, for our clients' statements.
5. On March 16, 2010, I received a letter from FBI General Counsel
confirming that the FBI had received my subpoena and that they would await an Order from this
Court or the signed authorizations from each of the Plaintiffs before producing the requested
documents. I had previously informed him that I would seek an Order from this Court.
6. Given that discovery deadlines are approaching, a Motion was filed with this
Court seeking a single Court Order applicable to all of the statements because Plaintiff's counsel
believes that is the most efficient and timely means of obtaining the Plaintiffs' statements.

1. These lawsuits arise from the alleged childhood sexual battery of Jane

2. Prior to the filing of the Plaintiffs' lawsuits, Epstein was investigated by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). During the course of the FBI's investigation,
some or all of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 were interviewed by FBI agents and asked to provide

the factual allegations in the lawsuits now in front of this Court.
3. Pursuant to FBI protocol and the Federal Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b),
Plaintiffs undersigned counsel has served a subpoena on the Records Custodian of the
FBI's Miami office requesting the sworn statements of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 given to FBI
agents during their criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. See Exhibit "A."
4. The FBI informed Plaintiffs' counsel that it requires further authorization
in order to release the Plaintiffs' own sworn statements pursuant to the Federal Privacy
Act. Counsel for the FBI has advised that an Order from this Court authorizing the FBI
to release the requested statements would be sufficient. See 5 U.S.C. § 552a (6)(11). A
proposed Order authorizing the FBI to release the subpoenaed statements is attached as
Exhibit "B."
5. The requested statements are directly relevant and germane to the factual
allegations underlying the Plaintiffs' lawsuits and seemingly cannot be obtained by the
Plaintiffs in any other way. Upon information and belief, the Defendant is already in
possession of these documents.
6. Plaintiffs' counsel has conferred with counsel for the Defendant who
advised that Defendant opposes the relief requested.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs, Jane Does Nos. 2-7, respectfully request an Order directing
the Federal Bureau of Investigation to release any sworn statements of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 given
to the FBI during the criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and any materials responsive to
the subpoena served upon the FBI.

PLAINTIFF JANE DOE NOS. 2-7'S MOTION
TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF JANE DOE NOS. 2-7'S
SWORN STATEMENTS TO FBI INVESTIGATORS
AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW
Plaintiffs, Jane Does Nos. 2-7, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby file
this Motion to Compel Production of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7's Sworn Statements to FBI
Investigators and Incorporated Memorandum of Law, and state as follows:
I. These lawsuits arise from the alleged childhood sexual battery of Jane
Doe Nos. 2-7 by Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein").
2. Prior to the filing of the Plaintiffs' lawsuits, Epstein was investigated by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). During the course of the FBI's investigation,
some or all of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 were interviewed by FBI agents and asked to provide
sworn statements about their sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, the same abuse underlying

the factual allegations in the lawsuits now in front of this Court.
3. Pursuant to FBI protocol and the Federal Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b),
Plaintiff's undersigned counsel has served a subpoena on the Records Custodian of the
FBI's Miami office requesting the sworn statements of Jane Doe Nos. 2-7 given to FBI
agents during their criminal investigation ofJeffrey Epstein. See Exhibit "A."
4. The FBI informed Plaintiffs' counsel that it requires further authorization
in order to release the Plaintiffs' own sworn statements pursuant to the Federal Privacy
Act. Counsel for the FBI has advised that an Order from this Court authorizing the FBI
to release the requested statements would be sufficient. See 5 U.S.C. § 552a (b)(11). A
proposed Order authorizing the FBI to release the subpoenaed statements is attached as
Exhibit "B."
5. The requested statements are directly relevant and germane to the factual
allegations underlying the Plaintiffs' lawsuits and seemingly cannot be obtained by the
Plaintiffs in any other way. Upon information and belief, the Defendant is already in
possession of these documents.
6. Plaintiffs' counsel has conferred with counsel for the Defendant who
advised that Defendant opposes the relief requested.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs, Jane Does Nos. 2-7, respectfully request an Order directing
the Federal Bureau of Investigation to release any sworn statements ofJane Doe Nos. 2-7 given
to the FBI during the criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and any materials responsive to
the subpoena served upon the FBI.

Re: Jane Doe 2-7 v. Jeffrey Epstein
Dear Ms. Arbour:
We are in receipt of your subpoena and letter dated March 12, 2010. Please be
advised that the FBI response to this request is governed by the provisions of Title 28, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 16.21 et seq. and the Privacy Act (Title 5, United States
Code, Section 552a). These regulations specify that no employee of the Department of Justice,
past or present, shall in response to a demand, produce or disclose information unless there is
compliance with the applicable provisions. The procedure is mandatory and governs state and
federal proceedings and has been upheld in the United States Supreme Court. See U.S. ex rel,
Touhy v. Ragen 340 U.S. 462 (1951).
In addition, the Privacy Act (Title 5, U.S.C., Section 552a(b), prohibits the release
of agency records pertaining to an individual, or information from those records, for a non-law
enforcement purpose. The FBI may not disclose this information without the notarized written
consent of each record subject, or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction authorizing its
disclosure by the F131. In the absence of either the notarized consent of the record subject, or an
appropriate court order authorizing disclosure, we are statutorily prohibited from releasing any
information to you.
As you noted in your letter you will seek a court order allowing for the release of
the records requested. Once the Privacy Act Order is issued, please provide a copy of the order
along with a letter complying with the Code of Federal Regulations directed to Chief Division
Counsel Frank Navas at the above address. In accordance with the above cited law and
regulations, we must receive the notarized consent or Privacy Act Order before any documents
may be released to you.
