that is still not yet determined.

that. I thought I was waiting for something

MR. SCAROLA: vour

7
that while we have acknowledged that
r. Epstein has a valid Fifth Amendment
4-3
privilege because he does clearly remain in
jeopardy with regard to the underlying criminal
activity that resulted in both a state
12
prosecution and a Federal non-prosecution
13
agreement.
14
we believe that other privileges were
15
invalid. And the practical implications of

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

assertion, assertions of privilege from our
25
perspective. Leave in place the valid

21

The second

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

THE COURT: Is this matter set for trial?

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?

ms. COLEMAN: we're on calendar call,

Judge, October

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

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
1
2
the rule of civil procedure that talks about
the use of depositions at trial. And it

provides expressly that at trial a deposition
may be used, in this case, against an opposing
party as though the witness were then present
and testified.
So we already have the basis upon which to
draw the adverse inference. xt isn't necessary
that either we or Mr. Epstein -- call
Mr. Epstein to the witness stand and have him

and that is that he refuses to answer th e

MS. COLEMAN: Good afternoon, Judge. To
ically our position, your
add
the issues with which Mr. Scarola has
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

25
the negati

CI)
1
co
laintiff may or may not be entitled,
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
11
EFTA00802072

less burdensome way of obtaining that
13
information. That's the first step. And I

THE COURT: I've never seen a case where

it says you're entitled to an actual

instruction. In the cases you cited, the two
21
cases cited, at least I didn't see that in the

Now the common experiences of jurors who
watch TV and read magazines and read books is
that you may not hold an individual's right to
remain silent against him. Because jurors are
generally educated about such matters in the
context of criminal proceedings. So to
disabuse jurors who may believe that it is
improper to hold an assertion of Fifth
Amendment privilege against someone, we
be entitled to an instruction that saitc what
the law is.

So it is on that basis that we are asking

permitted to recede from that. And secondly.
tell us that the jury will be informed of the
basic legal principle that the assertion of the

Because I've evidentially missed something
13
along the way. Because I entered an order
14
basically saying I required you to file

privilege logs which identify each document,

what the privilege is to that document and so I

I have to look at. I don't recall. Did I get

MS. COLEMAN: But there's still our issue
with the privilege log filed by Mr. Edwards

with respect to our discovery requests as well.

THE COURT: I'm talking about with regard
14
to Mr. Epstein. Is there anything I need to

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

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.

THE COURT: Some of the case law I read in

Federal court says even the Fifth Amendment

Is there something pending on me that I'm
