SHAPIRO JARED LOPEZ BLACK SREBNICK KORNSPAN STUMPF PA April 1), 2010 DELIVERY BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Esq. Assistant Untied States Attorney 500 South Australian Avenue West Palm Beach, FL 33401-6223 RE: Jeffrey Epstein Dear JESSICA FONSECA-NADER KATHLEEN P. PHILLIPS AARON ANTHON MARCOS BEATON, JR. MATTHEW P. O'BRIEN JENIPER J. SOULIKIAS NOAH Fox E-Mail: We are in receipt of the letter authored by you on April 2, 2010. Although we respectfully disagree with your conclusion that a civil pleading which challenges a Complaint for its facial legal deficiencies and seeks only to raise substantial and unresolved legal issues regarding 18 USC §2255 (which, if allowed, would lead only to the plaintiff amending her filing rather than having it dismissed with prejudice) could constitute a breach of Mr. Epstein's NPA obligations, we appreciate your having reviewed the draft pleading authored by civil counsel for Mr. Epstein that was appended to our prior letter to you. We have advised civil counsel of your office's position. We have been informed, and can accordingly assure you, that the motion as redrafted will n seek dismissal of the Complaint as a whole, but instead will seek dismissal only of Count 6 which rests on a predicate which, unlike Counts 1-5, had not even been enacted at the time of the conduct alleged by Jane Doe 103. Although the issues of multiplicity of counts and whether the minimum damage recovery would be $50,000 or $150,000 remain, they will nis be litigated via a motion that would, if allowed, result in a dismissal (even one without prejudice) of the §2255 action. Again, while we respect (and in fact sought) your opinion as to whether the earlier draft motion was consistent with the NPA, according to Mr. Epstein's civil counsel, it sought only to dismiss the Complaint without prejudice to its being re- filed under the version of the statute, 18 USC §2255, that was in existence at the 201 S. Biscayne Boulevard. Suite 1300 • Miami. Florida 33131 • Phone: 30S-371-6421. Fax: 305-358-2006 • vonw.RoyBlack.com EFTA00213235 Esq. Apnl , 2O1u Page 2 time of the conduct, rather than the later version which was enacted after the conduct at issue ended, see p.22 ("Plaintiff's action should be dismissed and she should be required to plead her action under the applicable version of 18 USC 2255") and p.24 ("the statute in effect during the time of the alleged conduct applies, not the version, as amended, effective July 27, 2006"). It was never the intent of Mr. Epstein or his civil counsel to permanently preclude Jane Doe 103 from bringing a lawsuit under 18 USC §2255 or to take a position in conflict with Mr. Epstein's waivers under 18 of the NPA. Again, we appreciate your providing us with the Office's position so that we could in turn provide intelligent guidance to civil counsel. Very truly yours, MARTIN WEINBERG, ESQ.
