7 THE COURT: Okay, this is the Epstein
8 versus Rothstein case. It's the plaintiff --
9 excuse me, counter plaintiff's motion to
10 determine entitlement to adverse inferences and
11 also prohibit the induction of evidence.
12 read the response. I read the motion and
13 response. Counsel just hand delivered
14 something to me today that evidentially I have
15 never seen before. It was a supplemental
16 memorandum I received.
17 MS. COLEMAN: Your Honor, Mr. Scaro
18 filed it at 10:30 this morning. 't had
19 a chance to review it. I was
20 another matter. I haven't it either.
21 THE COURT: Let me q stion before
22 we begin so I get my ive back again. I
23 entered an order sOmer~im ago in this case and
24 I guess deali ome of the privileged
25 objections 1 recall that?
4
:,)
COLEMAN: Yes.
1
2 1!! Or
HE COURT: And 1 think i asked for some
nd of privilege log. Is there anything I'm
supposed be doing or is that on appeal?
MR. SCAROLA: I believe there are
outstanding privileges as you said, Your Honor,
7 that is still not yet determined.
8 THE COURT: okay, because I didn't know
9 that. I thought I was waiting for something
10 from you guys.
11 MR. SCAROLA: I don't think so.
Page 3
EFTA00802066
hr9091613epstein.txt
12 THE COURT: I'm going to have to have a
13 status conference and figure everything because
14 I went back and looked at it and something's
15 wrong. Okay. Good enough.
16 MR. SCAROLA: To put that in context, Your
17 Honor.
18 THE COURT: what is that, ma'am?
19 MS. COLEMAN: I'm sorry?
20 THE COURT: what did you say?
I waC s o l
21 MS. COLEMAN: Nothing, Judge.
22 speaking -- 1 was just coming up At yar of
23 it.
24 THE COURT: Go ahead.
25 MR. SCAROLA: vour r recall that
5
1 there have been lti privileges asserted
2 with regard ety of issues. And we
3 have ovepe.t rse of these proceedings been
4 attemp g 5p narrow valid privileged
S a ertions and distinguish them from invalid
6 pri ged assertions. That primarily means
7 that while we have acknowledged that
r. Epstein has a valid Fifth Amendment
4-3
12
13
privilege because he does clearly remain in
jeopardy with regard to the underlying criminal
activity that resulted in both a state
prosecution and a Federal non-prosecution
agreement.
14 we believe that other privileges were
15 invalid. And the practical implications of
Page 4
EFTA00802067
hrg091613epstein.txt
16 making that distinction are that we cannot draw
17 an adverse inference from the assertion of, for
18 example, an attorney/client privilege. But we
19 are under the case law clearly permitted to
20 draw an adverse inference from the assertion
21 of the Fifth Amendment, the right to remain
22 silent.
23 so we need to eliminate the invalid
24 assertion, assertions of privilege from our
25 perspective. Leave in place the valid
6
1 assertion of privilege, which Ac e ,its us
2 to draw an adverse from th ssertions of
3 privilege. Your Honor eF consideration
4 some of those challe ileged assertions.
5 That's by way of to Your Honor's
6 question. It_d have anything to do with
7 today's mo
8 Be ause ay's motion relates only to
9 those cC Am/stances where the only privilege
10 as by Mr. Epstein is a Fifth Amendment
11 pri lege, his right to remain silent pursuant
12 the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments
of the uS Constitution that have been
repeatedly asserted by him throughout the
discovery in this case and in response to
16 request to production and in response to
17 interrogatories. And dozens and dozens and
18 dozens of times in response to questions posed
19 during the course of his deposition.
20 what we are seeking today, by way of what
Page 5
EFTA00802068
hrg091613epstein.txt
21 really is a motion in limine is, in fact, a
22 determination that where the only privilege
23 asserted by mr. Epstein is, the only valid
24 privilege asserted by Mr. Epstein, is a Fifth
25 Amendment privilege assertion. That we are
1 entitled to a jury instruction that will info S
2 the jury that the assertion of that privi
3 allows them to draw an adverse inference That
4 is that had an answer been given, t answers
5 would be unfavorable to Mr. Eps n. have
6 not laid out the precise wor n at jury
7 instruction y at this
8 point. But we are si ing for a
9 confirmation of th asi rincipal.
10 The second t o this motion is that as
11 to those mat 0 which mr. Epstein has
12 over thec four years that, almost four
13 years t t this case has been prosecuted,
14 co istently asserted a Fifth Amendment
15 pri je. me is not going to be able to get
16 up t during the course of trial and change
17 is position and suddenly begin testifying
about matters in which he has consistently
refused to provide information in pretrial
discovery.
21 So those are two parts. That's what we're
22 asking for. we don't want to be surprised by
23 Mr. Epstein coming and attempting to take the
24 witness stand and to give testimony that he has
Page 6
EFTA00802069
hrg091613epstein.txt
25 consistently withheld.
8
1 THE COURT: Is this matter set for trial?
2 MR. SCAROLA: we are set for trial, yes,
3 sir. we're getting to the point now where
4 THE CouRT: when is it set?
5 ms. COLEMAN: we're on calendar call,
6 Judge, October 18 for the trial commencing
7 October 28th.
1ik:S‘S;
8 THE COURT: Yeah, that sounds right
9 okay.
10 MR. SCAROLA: Now the pri sponse
11 that we have gotten to thi t is that the
12 Baxter (phonetics) case h e have cited in
13 support of our posi case that arose in
14 a context where a i vidual took the witness
15 stand and asse s Fifth Amendment
16 privilege h esence of the jury.
17 A tention in the
18 counte f ndant's response is we would be
19 re to call Mr. Epstein to the witness
20 sta . He would be obliged to assert his Fifth
21 mendment privilege in the presence of the jury
before we would be entitled to any adverse
implication instruction. That simply is wrong.
And it's wrong because Rule 1.330(a) renders
25 that distinction meaningless. Rule 1.330(a) is
9
1 the rule of civil procedure that talks about
2 the use of depositions at trial. And it
Page 7
EFTA00802070
hrg091613epstein.txt
3 provides expressly that at trial a deposition
4 may be used, in this case, against an opposing
5 party as though the witness were then present
6 and testified.
7 So we already have the basis upon which to
8 draw the adverse inference. xt isn't necessary
9 that either we or Mr. Epstein -- call
10 Mr. Epstein to the witness stand and have him
11 repeat what he has already consistently sa'
12 and that is that he refuses to answer th :e i
13 questions. so the distinction that
14 attempt to draw that this is pro
15 premature because he has not the
16 stand in front of the jury red moot by
17 virtue of Florida Rule vi Procedure
18 which requires that s sition testimony be
19 treated in the sae ma r as trial testimony
20 would be. ically our position, your
21 Honor.
22 THECOT. Okay. res.
23 MS. COLEMAN: Good afternoon, Judge. To
24 add the issues with which Mr. Scarola has
25 disc ssed I would point out the following to
10
the Court. First, this motion is premature at
best for several reasons. First of which is
3 Mr. Epstein is now set for deposition by
4 counter plaintiff on october 21st and x presume
5 will be asked further questions to which he may
6 or may not assert the Fifth Amendment. So to
Page 8
EFTA00802071
hrg091613epstein.txt
7 preemptively presume that he will assert it or
8 not assert it and make a ruling based on an
9 adverse inference on something that hasn't yet
10 happened is inapplicable.
11 Second, Judge, with respect to discovery
12 that has gone on in this case over the past
13 four years there are many, many, many questions
14 sadly which are not spelled out in the bulk of
15 this motion. Questions that have been posed
16 Mr. Epstein that irrefutably have absolu
17 nothing to do with this case. All that i
18 evident from everything that has bled in
19 this case, that the parties, t
20 plaintiff, would like to r e the cases
21 that were being prosecu h m against
22 Mr. Epstein several This is a
23 simple abuse of pr nd malicious
24 prosecution ca e. So with respect to
25 the negati erse inference to which
1 co
CI)
laintiff may or may not be entitled,
11
2 this .court needs to conduct a far more detailed
alysis into those questions and answers other
than the blanket assertion made by this motion.
Judge, for example, to be entitled to a
negative inference, the party seeking it must
7 prove that the information cannot be benefited
8 or received from obtaining -- I'm sorry, let me
9 start that sentence over. The inference may
10 not be drawn unless there's a substantial need
11 for the information and there is not another
Page 9
EFTA00802072
hrg091613epstein.txt
12 less burdensome way of obtaining that
13 information. That's the first step. And I
14 appreciate this is not fully -- this is like I
15 received their memo this morning and I was
16 under the misguided conception we were arguing
17 the two cases he cited but I will lay this out
18 for the court anyway since we're here. The
19 Court has discretion --
20 MR. SCAROLA: I don't mean to interr
21 but that's all I have argued. I have no
22 argued the supplemental memo at all
23 MS. COLEMAN: The rule to 't
24 referred is not cited in his fil th
25 respect to the use of the`~ 'y on. But what
12
1 this court has o b ore it can determine --
2 THE COO : me ask a basic question.
3 ms. Yes, you can.
4 TM : There is bunch of cases where
5 so eone has ✓waived Fifth Amendment and it
6 hap all the time in DUI cases and then in
7 jcivi lawsuits. I've never had anybody ask me
or an actual jury instruction like you do in a
spoliation case. what they do is they ask the
question, the person denies it or -- excuse me,
they take the Fifth Amendment. And says
12 weren't you drunk on the night of the accident,
13 and they answer I refuse on the basis of
14 incrimination. Then they argue to the jury, he
15 admitted it and --
Page 10
EFTA00802073
hrg091613epstein.txt
16 ms. COLEMAN: That's exactly my point,
17 Judge.
18 THE COURT: I've never seen a case where
19 it says you're entitled to an actual
20 instruction. In the cases you cited, the two
21 cases cited, at least I didn't see that in the
22 case you cited. Is there actually a case in
23 Florida where if you take the Fifth Amendment,
24 you're entitled to an adverse inference
25 instruction like a spoliation case where
13
1 there's specific instruction a Cv y the
2 Fourth District?
3 MS. COLEMAN: It's, A0.oiYon, Judge,
4 but --
5 THE COURT: see anything like
6 that.
7 mS. C No, I didn't see anything
8 either t ag my understanding is, as I
9 said, aC -thl cases to which counter plaintiff
10 re clearly states that the witness is
11 avai ble, he's coming. He's listed on both
12 tness lists. He's the defendant. He'll be
here. He'll be testifying.
In every case that I've read, state and
Federal, indicates that it occurs at trial. we
16 don't know what questions are going to be
17 asked. we don't know what's going to happen.
18 THE COURT: The jury can draw an adverse
19 inference since nobody is pleading the Fifth
20 Amendment and --
Page 11
EFTA00802074
hrg091613epstein.txt
21 MS. COLEMAN: Only if you base your
22 findings on a particular set of information
23 delineated. For example, should Mr. Epstein
24 I'm hypothetically speaking -- take the stand
2S and answer a question to which he's previously
1 asserted the Fifth, you can strike that answe iglie
4
2 And then, and only then, would the issue o
3 negative inference become applicable. A thi
4 point we respectfully feel the plai ' f s
5 the cart before the horse becau not at
6 trial. I don't think even M la can
7 determine what evidence i o come out at
8 trial. I've never se a 7y7 instruction
9 drafted before dis ry" even finished.
10 He's taken Mr. deposition.
A
11 THE CO time I have ever done --
12 sorry to t you. I've never given a
13 written neji the context of the Fifth
14 Am ndment. It's always been in the context of
15 di ry violations or failure to comply with
16 dis overy requests or spoliation issues. And
17 '!hen we drafted instructions under -- I can't
0 remember the name of the case.
MS. COLEMAN: It's Rule 1.380.
THE COURT: Actually, a case where you
21 approve a specific, it's not a presumption,
22 it's an inference. YOU give the presumption
23 it's irrelevant, not to say stupid, something
24 like that. I'm not really sure what you want
Page 12
EFTA00802075
hrg091613epstein.txt
25 me to rule to be honest with you.
15
1 MR. SCAROLA: There are two things I want
2 you to rule, your Honor. I want you first to
3 rule that Mr. Epstein will not be permitted to
4 give testimony or to produce evidence that he,
5 himself, has withheld as a consequence of his
6 consistent assertion of the Fifth Amendment
7 privilege during the course of the four
B that this matter has been in pretrial
9 discovery. He should not be perm fter
10 having refused to give that ev
11 pretrial discovery, to prey evidence at
12 trial. That's part one
13 Part two, we sh ntitled to an
14 instruction after ish Mr. Epstein's
15 deposition tes o the jury in which he
16 has refuse er questions, that his
17 silence eld against him.
18 Nov n't tell vour Honor that I have at
19 ha lorida case that approves a specific
20 form f instruction. But the law is quite
21 ear that we are entitled to jury instructions
that support our theory of the case. And it is
a proper statement of the law, that a statement
-- excuse me -- that an assertion of privilege
25 in the context of a civil case may be used by
16
1 the jury to draw an adverse inference,
2 inference against the person who refuses to
Page 13
EFTA00802076
hrg091613epstein.txt
3 testify.
4 Now the common experiences of jurors who
5 watch TV and read magazines and read books is
6 that you may not hold an individual's right to
7 remain silent against him. Because jurors are
8 generally educated about such matters in the
9 context of criminal proceedings. So to
10 disabuse jurors who may believe that it is
11 improper to hold an assertion of Fifth
12 Amendment privilege against someone, we
13 be entitled to an instruction that saitc what
14 the law is.
15 And the law is that you ed hold
16 the assertion of the righ in silent in
17 the context of a civilAlSorti
s ainst the person
18 who is making that ert . There are very
19 strong statemen port of that position
20 in the cases ave cited to Your Honor.
21 Includi ed States supreme Court that
22 has talkt .., t the probative value of an
23 as ertion of a right to remain silent in the
24 con of civil cases.
25 So it is on that basis that we are asking
17
the Court to do those two things. -tell us
right now that since Mr. Epstein's refused to
3 give evidence pretrial, he's not going to be
4 permitted to recede from that. And secondly.
S tell us that the jury will be informed of the
6 basic legal principle that the assertion of the
Page 14
EFTA00802077
hcg091613epstein.txt
7 right to remain silent in the context of a
8 civil case can be used against the person
9 asserting that right to remain silent.
10 THE COURT: Okay, you get the last word.
11 MS. COLEMAN: Thank you, Judge. I was
12 unable to address section two or part two of
13 Mr. scarola's motion in which he asks that we
14 be precluded at offering certain evidence at
15 trial. First, Judge, I would submit that we
16 had filed weeks ago our trial exhibit li
17 witness list. And if there's specific i
18 contained on our exhibit list in
19 Mr. Scarola takes issue, he sh g it up
20 at the proper time and obj o , which
21 we're required to do pur t your court
22 order. If there is listed on our
23 exhibit list that i to what he's asking
24 for, that's th time to raise it. e
j
25 Furth udge, your order
18
•
1 sp ' 'tally delineates, I believe in paragraph
2 H, t if we haven't provided it to opposing
•
nsel, we can't use it. It's that simple.
Obviously, if we tried to submit evidence that
we have not provided to the plaintiff in this
case, we wouldn't be permitted to use it.
7 THE COURT: So there's a difference under
8 the Winger analysis. There's two different
9 things there. one I can -- certainly 1 don't
10 have to do Singer analysis and the sanction.
•
11 want to know what I haven't done, okay.
Page 15
EFTA00802078
hrg091613epstein.txt
12 Because I've evidentially missed something
13 along the way. Because I entered an order
14 basically saying I required you to file
15 privilege logs which identify each document,
16 what the privilege is to that document and so I
17 can look at them and determine which ones more
18 I have to look at. I don't recall. Did I get AS"
19 that?
20 MS. COLEMAN: No, what happened, ludg
21 what we did we amended our answers to --
22 THE COURT: / must be losing m d.
23 MS. COLEMAN: we amended ou to
24 all that discovery and only a he Fifth
25 Amendment to those that w serting a
19
1 privilege. So (4
e°i !!:other privilege
2 raised.
3 THE hat am I supposed to be
4 ruling
)
5 MS. COLEMAN: Right now? HiS motion.
6 COURT: NO. No, I thought -- again,
(C I'm sorry, guys I'm confused. I thought there
8 t as things out -- Mr. Scarola said there are
0 things outstanding.
MS. COLEMAN: But there's still our issue
with the privilege log filed by Mr. Edwards
12 with respect to our discovery requests as well.
13 THE COURT: I'm talking about with regard
14 to Mr. Epstein. Is there anything I need to
15 rule on with him?
Page 16
EFTA00802079
hrg091613epstein.txt
16 MS. COLEMAN: No.
17 MR. SCAROLA: That wasn't my understanding
18 but quite frankly, Your Honor, I didn't
19 specifically review that for purposes of
20 responding to that question.
21 THE COURT: I'm sorry for interrupting
22 you. The only reason I did that is to prepare
23 for today's hearing. I looked at the file and
24 one of the last things I did was that order
25 entered on where I determined that I wil
20
1 require you to file the detail r eged log
2 so I can determine based on ola's
3 argument on the Fifth t ou can't get
4 but the other stuff, , can be
5 sanctionable. / t was kind of waiting
6 because I did anything. You're telling
7 me there i rivileged log out there or
8 there i one t I need to rule on?
9 MS. ,OLImAN: No, your order said that you
10 ne be able to rule on the other
11 non- fth amendment privilege which we raised.
12 ery other privilege we raised has now been
13 withdrawn and all the discovery has been
amended. Anywhere we asserted a privilege, we
asserted the Fifth along with other privileges.
16 All the other privileges were taken out. So
17 it's only the Fifth Amendment. So there's
18 nothing to review.
19 THE COURT: Some of the case law I read in
20 Federal court says even the Fifth Amendment
Page 17
EFTA00802080
hrg091613epstein.txt
21 sometimes the court can look at in-camera to
22 determine if it's --
23 MS. COLEMAN: If you would like us to
24 do
25 THE COURT: No, I never asked for
1 in-camera inspection if / don't need to t
do 1?
4( 41
2 I'm just asking what it is I need to do
3 haven't done in regards to the privileg og
4 regard to Mr. Epstein. we're just jibing with
5 this.
6 MR. scAROLA: I will ac Coleman's
7 representation on the recut all of the
8 discovery that has bee ld has been
9 withheld solely on s of the Fifth
‘
10 Amendment privi
A
11 THE COU e's been a privilege log
12 filed or
13 MS COI N: No. Judge. The answer it's
14 al net-worth discovery. The discovery that
15 was ssue is the net-worth discovery for the
16 puni ive damages.
I17 ri THE COURT: This is probably unfair to you
guys. I'm asking questions because it concerns
me if there's something out there I'm supposed
to be ruling on and I might have to do that.
21 Is there something pending on me that I'm
22 supposed to rule on?
23 MR. SCAROLA: Not if the only privilege
24 that's being asserted is a Fifth Amendment

25 privilege. Your Honor may recall that what you
22
1 did talk about at the time of that last hearing
2 was that some of the financial information that
3 was requested was corporate financial
4 information. And you correctly observed a
5 corporation has no Fifth Amendment privilege.
6 So I don't know -- Your Honor asks the 4i v
7 rhetorical question. I don't know how y .g)
8 be asserting a Fifth Amendment privilege
9 regard to the corporate records.
10 THE COURT: It has to be si 1 even
11 if it's an individual. x r b at.
12 MR. SCAROLA: Corre n those were the
13 concerns that Your H x ssed. And it was
14 my understanding tN a shifted the burden
15 back to the co 77
rtendant to provide
16 something tp our Honor with regard to
t
17 those m ters iut I will repeat, if the
18 positi . f.)he counter defendant is that
19 ev ing that has been withheld in discovery
20 has en withheld on the basis of the Fifth
21 a endment privilege, I'll accept that
0
22 representation.
THE COURT: I'm asking you. I don't want
to get --
25 Hs. COLEMAN: That is not what I said,
23
1 Judge.
2 THE COURT: Hang on. I'm going to set a

3 status conference. You guys can talk about
4 this. see what the status of discovery is at.
5 what I need you to do is I need that fairly
6 quickly. Probably next week or so you all are
7 coming up on trial here. And see what I need
8 to get done before you all walk into the
9 courtroom. You said there's also stuff and so
10 are you waiting for me to rule on
11 MS. COLEMAN: (5)
Judge, you were taking
12 was quite a while back. That we had a m ion
13 with respect to the privileged log by
14 Mr. Edwards first from (inaudibl from

16 were alleged by them to b ntial, just
17 communications, such ication with the
18 press and the gover nt t have not yet been
19 ruled on. The ing as supposed to be
20 continued.
21 THE don't recall. I have
22 nothing byre, at least that I know, that
23 ha t been ruled on.

THE COURT: or reschedule it or whatever.
