ATTORNEY AT LAW SUITE 1400 250 AUSTRAL UN AVENUE SOUTH WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA 33401-SON TEL EPI4OU FAX (S6118354691 April 4, 2018 The Honorable Rodney Smith Circuit Court Judge Dade County Courthouse 73 West Flagler Street Room DCC 1304 Miami, FL 33130 RE: Brunel v. Epstein, et al Case No. 14-21348 Dear Judge Smith. Please be advised that the undersigned represents Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, with regard to the defense in the above referenced matter. We have been provided with a copy of a letter sent to you on March 29, 2018 by the attorney for the Plaintiffs, Joe Titone. It is unfortunate that Mr. Titone appears to be attempting, again, to ex parte the court. Because of this ex parte communication we must respond by way of this letter. The letter states that you were being provided with a Motion for Ruling on Service of Process on Defendant Jeffrey Epstein with attached exhibits, filed with the clerk of March 29, 2018. In fact, the motion that is attached to the letter was Plaintiffs' Motion for Special Set Hearing/Status Conference. We have strenuously objected to Plaintiffs' Motion for Ruling on Service of Process which may have been filed on March 29, 2018 and was filed on March 16, 2017. In response to the March 16, 2017 Motion, we filed a Response to Motion for Ruling on Service of Process on Defendant, Epstein, a Motion to Dismiss and a Memorandum in opposition to Motion for Ruling on Service of Process. These pleadings are attached for the court's ready reference. The situation has not changed in the past year and Mr. Epstein stands by his pleadings regarding the lack of service of process in this matter. EFTA00804696 Mr. Titone's letter states that he wishes to discuss the possibility of a settlement and/or mediation. It is incomprehensible that the court could order mediation when there has never been proper service on Mr. Epstein and the court has no jurisdiction over him. Additionally, this entire matter was dismissed in January, 2017 by operation of this court's Order dated October 5, 2016. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Very truly yours, W. Chester Brewer, Jr WCB/slm Enclosures cc: Joe Titone, Esquire EFTA00804697
