Funny epstein story
Well, jeff, epstein's pricey lawyers may have cost him $200 million. I reviewed
the docket sheets for the 4 pending federal suits (they are all Jeff herman
suits) and judge marra has issued orders to show cause why default judgments
shouldn't be entered for all 4. Herman asked for $50 million in each one.
Apparently epstein tried to avoid service and ignored the deadline when the
complaints were mailed to him (thinking that was ineffective service). All I can
say is, so much money, so little skill.

Hi all - Here are the documents that Mike Tein filed in connection with one of
the civil suits pending against Epstein in the District Court. Note that Judge
Marra is assigned to all of the federal civil suits, and also is the judge on the
suit filing against the United States.
Tein filed these ex parte and under seal and claims that all of the civil
litigation has to be stayed because "the federal criminal action" is still
pending. He discloses that a federal indictment had been prepared and that grand
jury proceedings had occurred. I am concerned that this contradicts what Dexter
told the Court, namely that a federal prosecution was never contemplated.

agreement could be reached. We acknowledged at the hearing that the case had been referred to our office, and the
FBI had conducted an investigation.
I was attempting to distinguish Dean , where both the U.S. Attorney's Office and
British Petroleum were negotiating a plea agreement, but it was clear there was going to be a federal prosecution,
whether by a plea agreement or a litigated trial.

Alicia,
I just received a phone call from Maggie Kacoha of the Palm Beach Daily News, (561) 820-3850, asking about the Jane
Doe case. She told me they were tied up on Friday and unable to attend the hearing before Judge Marra.
She said
she had read the Sun Sentinel article and wanted to confirm that : (1) the government argued the court had no
jurisdiction; and (2) the district court agreed.
I gave her your name and said someone would be calling her back. I told her that the filings had all been unsealed and
she could access them through PACER. I did confirm that the government argued the court did not have jurisdiction,
but said the case was not over. I declined to make any other comments.
When the hearing concluded last Friday, Judge Marra left it up to the parties to advise the court whether an evidentiary
hearing was needed. If the answer is yes, then the court will schedule a hearing. If the answer is no, then I assume
the court will go ahead and rule on the papers filed.
If you need copies of what the government filed, please let me know. Thanks.

Alicia,
I just received a phone call from Maggie Kacoha of the Palm Beach Daily News, (561) 820-3850, asking about the Jane
Doe case. She told me they were tied up on Friday and unable to attend the hearing before Judge Marra.
She said
she had read the Sun Sentinel article and wanted to confirm that : (1) the government argued the court had no
jurisdiction; and (2) the district court agreed.
I gave her your name and said someone would be calling her back. I told her that the filings had all been unsealed and
she could access them through PACER. I did confirm that the government argued the court did not have jurisdiction,
but said the case was not over. I declined to make any other comments.

When the hearing concluded last Friday, Judge Marra left it up to the parties to advise the court whether an evidentiary
hearing was needed. If the answer is yes, then the court will schedule a hearing. If the answer is no, then I assume
the court will go ahead and rule on the papers filed.
If you need copies of what the government filed, please let me know. Thanks.

Marie,
I have heard nothing from Edwards. My recollection is that you told him you would prepare a document for joint filing,
once we agreed after the hearing that an evidentiary hearing was not necessary for either side.
We were going to
detail what occurred at the meeting between Nesbitt and Jason at Publix with C.W., and Edwards was going to provide
C.W's perception of what she was told by Nesbitt and Jason.
Dexter
Hi Dexter — I lave you heard any more from Mr. Edwards? I don't like to keep Judge Marra waiting. He is our

Mike Tein called this afternoon, wanting to confirm details he had read in the newspaper. I told him that Judge Marra
had not dismissed the victims' petition, and explained the parties were determining whether an evidentiary hearing was
necessary.
He asked if both Jane Doe No. 1 and No. 2 were present in court, and I told him yes.
lie also asked if the government's response would be available on PACER.
I told him that, since the court had denied

Colleagues,
The hearing this morning lasted 45 minutes. Judge Marra first heard argument from Brad Edwards, who harangued the
government for permitting Epstein to get off with a light sentence in state court. He argued that the victims were
entitled to be consulted before this agreement was reached, and the court should set the agreement aside. Edwards
again argued that the rights in section 3771(a) accrue prior to the filing of any charges.
In my portion of the argument, I advised the court of the status of Epstein's state case: (1) he entered pleas of guilty to
two state charges on June 30, 2008; (2) he was sentenced to 18 months' incarceration and 1 year of community control;
and (3) he was serving his sentence of incarceration. The court queried me on the Dean case and the government's
position on when the rights in section 3371(a) applied. I distinguished Dean and argued that rights under 3771(a) does
not accrue until a charge is filing in district court.
I noted that the A/G's guidelines are applied with common sense,
such that a victim claiming they were being threatened by a perpetrator would not be turned away since an indictment
had not been returned. I also argued that 18 U.S.C. 3771 did not grant authority to the court to set aside the
agreement in the instant case, since it was not a plea agreement filed with court, which it had the discretion to accept or
reject. The court had questions regarding the completion of the agreement in September 2007, but the plea was not
entered until June 30, 2008. I advised the court that Epstein's attorneys sought higher review of the agreement within
the DOJ.
As to the motion to seal the government's response, the court asked if that was necessary any more, since a public
hearing had been held and much of what was filed had been discussed. I argued that the government had two bases
for sealing: (1) protection of the privacy of the minor victims; and (2) confidentiality of negotiations with Epstein's
attorneys and the confidentiality clause in the Agreement.
Edwards waived any protection for his clients, two of
whom were present in court (C.W. and T.M.)
As to the confidentiality, the court found that the discussions regarding
the potential impeachment of the victims because of the availability of relief under 18 U.S.C. 2255 had already been
discussed at the hearing. I argued that the exact clause in the agreement pertaining to section 2255 had been cited In
the notification letters to C.W. and S.R., which were filed, and the government had agreed to notify Epstein before
making any disclosure.
The court stated that the disclosure was being done pursuant to Its order, not by the
government's action.
I told the court the government wanted to register its objection.
The court ordered the government's response, Marie's declaration, and the attachments, unsealed. Also, Edwards filed
a reply, which is also a public record document.
The court noted that, since Epstein had entered his plea and was sentenced, this was no longer an emergency. Both
parties agreed. The court wanted to know if any evidentiary hearing need to be held. Since there is a dispute over
what the FBI agents told C.W. In September 2007, I asked the court to permit the parties to speak to determine if there
are any factual disputes which require a hearing. The court agreed.
There was a reporter from the Sun Sentinel present in the audience.

I left early on Friday since I had to take care of some matters before my Air Force reserve duty at Homestead AFB this

Colleagues,
The hearing this morning lasted 45 minutes. Judge Marra first heard argument from Brad Edwards, who harangued the
government for permitting Epstein to get off with a light sentence in state court. He argued that the victims were
entitled to be consulted before this agreement was reached, and the court should set the agreement aside. Edwards
again argued that the rights in section 3771(a) accrue prior to the filing of any charges.
In my portion of the argument, I advised the court of the status of Epstein's state case: (1) he entered pleas of guilty to
two state charges on June 30, 2008; (2) he was sentenced to 18 months' incarceration and 1 year of community control;
and (3) he was serving his sentence of incarceration. The court queried me on the Dean case and the government's
position on when the rights in section 3371(a) applied. I distinguished Dean and argued that rights under 3771(a) does
not accrue until a charge is filing in district court.
I noted that the A/G's guidelines are applied with common sense,
such that a victim claiming they were being threatened by a perpetrator would not be turned away since an Indictment
had not been returned.
I also argued that 18 U.S.C. 3771 did not grant authority to the court to set aside the

reject. The court had questions regarding the completion of the agreement in September 2007, but the plea was not

Dear Mr. Goldberger:
Today, Dexter Lee and I appeared before Judge Marra in connection with a suit
filed by C.W. and T.M. asserting that their rights as victims were breached by
our failure to consult with them before entering into the Non-Prosecution
Agreement. In response to their petition, I filed a Declaration under seal that
included the victim notification letters provided to their attorney, Brad
Edwards. At today's hearing, and over our objection, Judge Marra denied our

notification letters, has been disclosed.

Marie,
Can you call me at (305) 961-9320? I tried your number but I think you are working In another office. Thanks.
Dexter
Thanks, Dexter. I will ask both Nesbitt and Jason to attend. What documents should I bring with me? And how much
information is the office willing to share with the Judge if he asks, what I think will be the big question, namely:
If this deal was signed in September. why didn't the victims receive notification until yesterday?

Re: Conversation with Chambers
Hi dexter. I don't know what happened. I left at 4:00 and everything had already
gone to the courthouse. Our clerk's office is the worst so I should have sent a
courtesy copy directly to Judge Marra. I am sorry for the trouble.
Original Message
Marie,
I really appreciate you faxing a copy of what we filed to me.
At 4:45 p.m., I
e-filed my entry of appearance.
At approximately 5:15, I received a call from
Robert Glass, Judge Marra's law clerk.
He told me the Judge had received my
notice of appearance, but was wondering what happened to the government's
response.
At that point, I told him that we had earlier hand-filed a motion
to seal, the government's response, and your declaration.
He told me he would
go down to the Clerk's Office and retrieve it.
At 5:25, Mr. Glass called again to tell me everyone at the Clerk's Office had
gone home.
Judge Marra was anxious to get the government's response, given
the time constraints.
I just completed faxing everything to Chambers.
It never ceases to amaze me how one small glitch can render meaningless all the
work done on a project.

RE: Governments Motion to Seal
Everything is out. Copies will be sent to you via inter-office. Thank you, Dexter, as usual, you came to the rescue!
Can ask one more favor? Will you e-file a notice of appearance? That way notices of hearings will come to both of us.
I have to run to an appointment, but you can get me on the cell phone.
Thanks.

Marie,
In preparation for this afternoon's filing, I have prepared a motion to seal, which is attached. I did not include
Epstein's name and made general assertions regarding the confidentiality of the negotiations. Please have someone
sign both the motion to seal, and the government's response, for me. We then need to prepare a sealed document
tracking sheet, to accompany the motion.
An original and one copy of the sealed document should be placed in two separate envelopes, with the case number
written on the outside. An original and one copy of the motion to seal should be filed with the Clerk.
Thanks.
Dexter

RE: Emailing: Final Victim Notification — Courtney Wild.wpd
Looks good except for upper lefthand corner of 2nd page "Page 2 of 4". Is that
correct? Other than that it looks fine.
Re the Declaration : Hopefully u r referring to the three clients/victims of Mr.
Edwards when you state that "...notice of which was provided to the victims on
July 09, 2008, is ...." (We have not notified all victims on this date)
Hey everything else looks great! I I I! I II I I I I
See you in the morning let us know a
