Epstein 2 Wednesday, September 23, 2009 3 ******** Page 2 EFTA00723080 LMEXCERPT.txt 4 THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Berger, I'71 give you two 5 minutes to wrap up. 6 MR. BERGER: The representation concerning Judge 7 Pucillo's ruling is completely false. 8 Judge Pucillo was handed the nonprosecution 9 agreement involving more, many, many victims that was 10 sealed, that was the proceeding that was in front of 11 Judge Colbath just recently to get it unsealed. 12 Judge Pucillo said the victims and she had the 13 nonprosecution agreement in front of her. 14 The U.S. Attorney in the transcript that I handed 15 you, Your Honor, in front of Judge Marra back in July 16 designated our clients as victims. The noncontact 17 order by Judge Pucillo is binding with regard to our 18 client. 19 Judge Marra's order does not say communications, 20 Judge Marra specifically says no contact. And it 21 involves all of the plaintiffs in the Federal cases and 22 it involves our client. 23 So I would request the Court if not defer to the 24 other judges, adopt the procedure you outlined. 25 **nen** 4 1 CERTIFICATE 2 3 STATE OF FLORIDA 4 COUNTY OF PALM BEACH ) 5 Page 3 EFTA00723081 LMEXCERPT.txt 6 7 8 I, COLLEEN M.
