IN THE COURT OF THE FIFTEENTH
JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR PALM
BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA
L.M.,
CASE NO. 502008CA028051XXXXMB AB
Plaintiff,
v.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
Defendant.
EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO COMPEL
ANSWERS TO FOURTH SET OF INTERROGATORIES
Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("Epstein"), pursuant to Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.380,
moves to compel Plaintiff, L.M. to answer Epstein's Fourth Set of Interrogatories and
states:
1.
On February 25, 2010, Epstein propounded his Fourth Set of
Interrogatories on LM (attached as Exhibit A).
2.
On April 1, 2010, LM served Unverified Answers to Defendant's Fourth
Interrogatories (attached as Exhibit B).
3.
First, Epstein moves to compel LM to provide verified answers to Epstein's
Fourth Set of Interrogatories as required by Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.340, which provides that
"[e]ach interrogatory shall be answered separately and fully in writing under oath...."
4.
Next, Epstein moves to compel LM to provide a better answer to
Interrogatory No. 1, which states:
List the names, business addresses, telephone and cell
phone numbers, dates of employment, immediate supervisor
(name and address) and rates of pay regarding all
employers, including self-employment, for whom you have
worked since you answered the First Set of Interrogatories
EFTA01076824
propounded by Defendant on or about December 10, 2008;
this includes listing any and all sources of income you have
received.
5.
LM failed to provide an adequate answer to Interrogatory No. 1:
Objection, irrelevant, not reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence, harassing, without waiving
objections or invocations of privilege, Plaintiff has already
been deposed since December 2008 on the subject,
additionally, she has withdrawn her wage claim.
6.
Moreover, her objections are not well founded as the interrogatory seeks
relevant information notwithstanding that LM withdrew her wage claim.
7.
Epstein is entitled to discovery information regarding LM's employment.
LM has repeatedly testified that Epstein forced her into a life of prostitution. Since LM
asserts causes of action for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress in
addition to her claim under Fla. Stat. §796.09, information related to her employment is
clearly relevant and discoverable. See Balas v. Ruzzo, 703 So. 2d 1076, 1080 (Fla. 5th
DCA 1997) (holding that since plaintiff filed a multi-count complaint that included claims
for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, in addition to her cause of
action under Ha. Stat. §796.09, discovery related to plaintiff's employment was relevant
and discoverable).
8.
Indeed, Judge Linnea Johnson, in her October 28, 2009 Order on
Epstein's Motions to Compel (DE #377), found that information related to Plaintiff's
income is directly relevant to her emotional and psychological damage claims:
Plaintiff ... is seeking millions of dollars in personal injury
damages for, among other things, physical injury, pain and
suffering, emotional distress, psychological trauma, mental
anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem,
loss of dignity and invasion of her privacy. ... The sought
after tax returns and supporting information will provide
2
EFTA01076825
direct evidence as to Plaintiffs claim damages, both with
regard to her loss of earning capacity damage claim as well
as her emotional psychological/mental health type damage
claims.
See DE #377 at 5 - 6.
9.
As such, information regarding LM's employment, supervisors, co-
workers, clients and/or customers is relevant to her alleged damages, which include
pain and suffering, emotional distress, psychological trauma, mental anguish
humiliation, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, loss of dignity and loss of the capacity
to enjoy life. See Second Amended Complaint. For example, LM has admitted to
working as a prostitute and working at what she called a "jack shack," in which she was
paid to masturbate and perform oral sex on 1 — 4 men per day. See 2/09/10 Deposition
of LM at 455 — 458. This is the same conduct for which LM is claiming damages in this
case. Accordingly, LM's work as a prostitute, as well as any other employment, is
clearly discoverable as it goes directly to her damage claims and the issue of proximate
causation.
10.
Moreover, in her February 9, 2010 deposition, LM testified that she is no
longer engaged in prostitution. See 2/9/10 Deposition Transcript of LM ("LM Depo.") at
365-68.
However, she told Epstein's expert, Dr. Hall, that she still is, in fact, a
prostitute.
Accordingly, Interrogatory No. 1 seeks information that goes to LM's
credibility, which is certainly discoverable.
11.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court should compel LM to provide a
complete answer to Interrogatory No. 1.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, requests the Court enter an
order compelling Plaintiff, L.M., to fully answer Interrogatory No. 1 and grant any
3
EFTA01076826
additional relief the Court deems just and proper.
