In further support, the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers state as follows: SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT Al issue here Is whether certain documents and associated testimony sought by Mr. Epstein, including personal cell phone records, calendars and diaries and surveillance information, constitute public records subject to disclosure or are statutorily CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329848 EFTA_00202574 EFTA01308903 protected from disclosure under Florida's Public Records Law, Section 119.071 Fla Stat., and if the documents and testimony sought constitute private records of the individual officers not otherwise statutorily protected, whether Mr. Epstein's requests are improper as not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and overly broad. The Town of Palm Beach Police Officers respectfully submit that the Epstein duces tecum constitutes a fishing expedition into the private and confidential matters of these non-parties that do not constitute matters of public record under the Florida Public Records Law and bear little relationship to the issues in this civil litigation. The duces tecum is intended solely to harass these non-parties in advance of their depositions. As set forth in detail below, the Epstein duces tecum seeks a broad range of statutorily protected information not just regarding these law enforcement officers and the crime victims associated with Mr. Epstein's investigation, but a broad range of protected information regarding other crime investigations undertaken by the Town over a 5-year period. BACKGROUND By this and related suits,' an alleged minor victim of lewd acts and/or prostitution has filed a civil suit against Mr. Epstein for sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Mr. Epstein was the subject of an investigation by the Town of Palm Beach Police Department in 2005 and 2006, which investigation resulted in the issuance of a Probable Cause Affidavit for Mr. Epstein and others in May 2006. ' A number of related cases are pending against Mr Epstein in Florida slate and federal courts In May 2009, the related federal court cases were consolidated before Judge Kenneth Marra for discovery and procedural purposes. Judge Marra directed that witnesses common to the multiple cases would be deposed only once. Undersigned counsel understands from conversations with counsel for Mr. Epstein and the Plaintiff in this case that counsel in the related state court actions have acted in accordance with Judge Marra's order to depose witnesses common to the stale and federal cases only once 2 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329849 EFTA_00202575 EFTA01308904 Following the issuance of the Probable Cause Affidavits, the Town's investigation ceased and the matter was referred to the appropriate state and federal law enforcement authorities. Mr. Epstein ultimately pled guilty and was sentenced by the State Attorney to incarceration for a period of 12 months in county jail and designated a sex offender. Counsel for Plaintiff first subpoenaed the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers for deposition in October 2009. Those subpoenas did not include any duces tecum. Thereafter. Epstein's counsel cross-noticed the depositions and served the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers with subpoenas duces tecum the Epstein duces tecums). With the exception of the Epstein duces tecum issued to the Records Custodian, which additionally seeks state grand jury testimony (No. 7) and personnel records of Chief Reiter and Detectives and (No. 19), the Epstein duces tecum served on the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers are identical. Epstein's extremely broad document requests to the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers are detailed in more than twenty (20) separate requests, many with multiple subparts. Among other things, the Epstein duces tecum requests the following: • Video and Physical Surveillance: Any and all logs, pictures, videos, digital information, reports, memoranda or notes, and any record of expenditure, which relate to video or physical surveillance of Mr. Epstein, his residence or his visitors (or, with regard to physical surveillance, any individual believed to be a potential witness or co-conspirator) from January 1, 2004 to the present (Nos. 11-12); • Cell Phone Records: All cell phone records, both official cell phone and personal cell phone, used by the Police Officers from January 1, 2004 through the present (No. 15); • Calendars or Diaries: All calendars or diaries, electronic or hard-copy kept from October 1, 2004 through and including today (No. 16). 3 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329850 EFTA_00202576 EFTA01308905 LEGAL ARGUMENT Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(c) allows a person from whom discovery is sought to move for an order to protect that person from annoyance, oppression or undue burden by directing "(1) that the discovery not be had; (2) that the discovery may be had only on specified terms and conditions .... that certain matters not be inquired into, or that the scope of the discovery be limited to certain matters. . Rule 1.280(14(1) provides that parties "may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter of the pending action. " As federal courts have observed in construing identical language under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 'requested information is not relevant to 'subject matter involved' in the pending action if the inquiry is based on the party's mere suspicion or speculation? Micro Motion, Inc. v. Kane Steel Co.. Inc., 894 F.2d 1318, 1325-26 (Fed. Cir. 1990).3 "A trial court has authority to prevent discovery which it believes is a mere fishing expedition calculated for harassment" Sugarmill Woods Civic Association. Inc. v. Southem States Utilities 687 So. 2d 1346, 1351 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) Where it has been affirmatively established that the discovery sought is neither relevant nor will lead to the discovery of relevant information, a trial court has discretion to deny the irrelevant discovery. Allstate Insurance Company v. Langston 655 So. 2d 91, 95 (Fla. 1995): Residence Inn by Marriott v. Cecile Resort, Ltd. 822 So. 2d 548, 550 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002) (agreeing that carte blanche discovery of material Is impermissible and noting that the record was insufficient regarding the relevancy of the requested documents). 3 Florida courts look to the federal rules and decisions for guidance in interpreting Florida's civil procedure rules" so as to harmonize the Florida and federal rules. Gleneaole Shit) Montt. v. Leondakos , 602 So 2d 1282, 1283-84 (Fla 1992) 4 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329851 EFTA_00202577 EFTA01308906 A. Information Regarding Crime Victims; Victims of Sexual Offenses; Minor Victims As a threshold matter, the Town states that in accordance with its obligations under Section 119.07 of the Florida Public Records Law, any documents and testimony provided in response to the Epstein duces tecum will be redacted and/or limited to protect those matters excepted from disclosure including, but not limited to, the home addresses and telephone numbers of the law enforcement personnel and any identifying information regarding the victims. Such redaction is necessary because of the broad range of criminal intelligence and investigative information regarding minor victims of sexual offenses under Florida Statutes Chapter 794 and/or 800 sought by the Epstein duces tecum. Such information is carefully protected under the Public Records Law. Fla. Stat. § 119.071(2)Q) (excepting from disclosure any document that reveals the identity, home or employment telephone number, home or employment address, or personal assets of the victim of a crime, including the crime of sexual battery, and identifies that person as the victim of a crime); Fla. Stat. § 119.071(2)(h)1 b (excepting any information which may reveal the identity of a person who is a victim of a sexual offense, including a sexual offense proscribed in Chapters 794 and 800). Likewise, the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers will not provide testimony or documents that reflect their own exempted personal information including their home addresses, telephone numbers and social security numbers. Chapter 119.071 of the Florida Public Records Law specifically exempts from disclosure personal information belonging to law enforcement personnel and their families as well as personal information for crime victims, including minor victims and victims of sexual offenses. "The home addresses, telephone numbers, social security numbers and photographs of 5 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329852 EFTA_00202578 EFTA01308907 active or former law enforcement personnel" are exempt from statutory disclosure provisions Fla. Stet § 119.071(4)(d)1.a; Atty. Gen. Op. 2007-21 (Apr. 25, 2007) (sworn officers of a police department fall within this exemption as 'law enforcement personnel"). Along with the places of employment, the same information is protected relative to the spouses and children of such law enforcement personnel. B. Private or Personal Information Belonging To the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers The Epstein duces tecum seeks a number of documents including all cell phone records, calendars and diaries used or created by the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers from January 1, 2004 to the present. These requests clearly encompass personal records not covered by the Public Records Law. Moreover, the requests cover a five-year time period, are not limited in any way to matters involving Mr. Epstein and are therefore overly broad and not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 1. arsons: Calendars and Diaries (Request No. 16) Mr. Epstein is not entitled to obtain "[ajll calendars or diaries" kept by the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers from January 1, 2004 to the present because these documents are not public records subject to disclosure and because these records may contain statutorily excepted information regarding the law enforcement personnel themselves and other criminal investigations. Section 119.011(1), Florida Statutes, defines "public records" to include. All documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency. (emphasis added) 6 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329853 EFTA_00202579 EFTA01308908 Documents and other information that is not "made or received" in connection with the "transaction of official business' are not public records subject to disclosure. Times Publ'q Co. v. City of Clearwater, 830 So 2d 844, 847 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002) (holding private or personal e-mails stores in government computers do not automatically become public records). Personal calendars and diaries do not constitute public records because they are not actions of government, but merely personal notes or work papers created for the convenience of the individual keeping the calendar. Florida courts have consistently held that under Chapter 119, public employees' notes to themselves and designated for their own personal use in remembering certain things do not fall within the definition of "public record." The Justice Coalition v. First DCA Nominating Comm'n 823 So. 2d 185. 192 (Fla. 151 DCA 2002) (citing t.opez v. State 696 So. 2d 725 (Fla. 1997); Times Pub. Co. v. City of St. Petersburg, 558 So. 2d 487, 491-92 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990) (notes which "serve no governmental function" but are 'merely the personal tools of recollection of the writer' are not public records) As one court has observed, ... the cases consistently hold that personal notes, as well as telephone messages and daily appointment calendars are not public records. This is because they are generally created solely for the individual's convenience or to refresh the writer's memory, are maintained in a way indicating a private purpose, are not circulated or intended for distribution within agency channels, are not under agency control, and may be discarded at the writers sole discretion. Yacobellis v. City of Bellingham 780 P,2d 272, 275-76 (Wash. App. 1989) (collecting cases). See also Bur. of Nat'l Affairs v. U.S. Delft. of Justice 742 F.3d 1484 (D.C. Cir. 1984) (holding that personal appointment materials, such as calendars and daily agendas for the convenience of Assistant Attorney General, are not agency records 7 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329854 EFTA_00202580 EFTA01308909 under the Freedom of Information Act)" Union. United Auto., Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of Am. v. Voinovich 654 N.E.2d 139, 142-43 (Ohio App. 1995) (holding governors personal calendars and appointment books were not "public records" subject to disclosure under public records statute where calendars and appointment books were created and maintained solely for governors personal convenience, were not circulated within office for any official purpose, were not under control of governors office, could be discarded at any time, and did not serve to document any official activities or functions of governor); Courier-Journal v. Jones 895 S.W.2d 6 (Ky. App. 1995) (same). 2. Cellular Telephone Records (Request No. 15) Mr. Epstein's request for lajll cell phone records" from 2004 to the presen1 is similarly improper as it not only seeks private, non-public records, but statutorily protected information regarding the law enforcement officers who made the calls and the persons to whom calls were made including, but not limited, to family members. crime victims and confidential informants. As with personal or private e-mails stored in government computers, private phone calls that were not created or received in connection with official business do not become public records simply because they are made on a government issued telephone. See Media Gen'l Operation. Inc. v. Feeney 849 So. 2d 3 (Fla. 15' DCA 2003) (private or personal cellular telephone calls of five staff employees of House of Representatives were not public records)' Times Publics Co., 830 So. 2d at 847. See also State v. Ohio Atty. Gen. 910 N.E.2d 504, 677-78(Ohio Ct. App 2009) (holding cell phone number of state trooper was not a "public record" subject to disclosure under public records act); Gannett N.J. Partners v. Ctv. of Middlesex 877 8 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329855 EFTA_00202581 EFTA01308910 A 2d 330 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2005) (finding news organization not entitled to disclosure of the telephone billing records of county officials under the state's open public records act, observing that public officials and persons they talk to have a right to confidentiality, public records act excepted from "public records" the "unlisted telephone number' of any person and there was no practical way to prevent disclosure of such numbers, and voluminous request for 12 months worth of records would disrupt agency operations). C. Surveillance Techniques, Procedure or Personnel The Town of Palm Beach Police Officers do not dispute that if they possessed any surveillance tapes or photographs of Mr. Epstein during the time of the investigation in 2005 and 2006, which they do not, that such evidence may be subject to disclosure if it did not identify the victims of contain any other statutorily protected information. However, Mr. Epstein is not entitled to any testimony or documents regarding the techniques, procedure or personnel involved in any video or physical surveillance of Mr. Epstein. See Epstein duces tecum, Nos. 11-12. Any information revealing law enforcement surveillance techniques, procedures or personnel is clearly exempt from public inspection under the Public Records Law. Fla. Stat. §119.071(2Xd), referring to Section 24(a), Art. I, Fla. Const. D. Epstein's Requests are Unduly Burdensome Finally, even if subject to disclosure under the Public Records Law, Mr. Epstein's request for la]ll cell phone records" and "(alit calendars and diaries", whether in hard- copy or electronic format, for the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers for a 5-year period is not only overly broad and not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible 9 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329856 EFTA 00202582 EFTA01308911 evidence, it is unduly burdensome. In addition to the time needed to initially gather these records, considerable effort would be required to review them to determine whether they contain statutorily protected information excepted under Section 119.071 of the Public Records Law and to thereafter redact that information in order to protect the identities of crime victims, undercover personnel, confidential informants, etc. which bear absolutely no relation to this case and are entitled to have their privacy protected. The Town of Palm Beach Police Officers respectfully request that should the Court overruled its other objections to the requested discovery, that they be given the opportunity to provide evidence in support of their claim of undue burden. WHEREFORE, the Town of Palm Beach Police Officers respectfully request that the Court enter an Order pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(c) directing that the Epstein duces tecum be quashed as set forth herein and that the Court grant the Town of Palm Beach Police Department all other relief deemed just and proper under the circumstances. 10 CONFIDENTIAL SDNY_GM_00329857 EFTA_00202583 EFTA01308912 I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true copy of the foregoing instrument has been furnished by facsimile and United States mail to Theodor J.

Upon my arrival, I met with the homeowner who verbally identified himself as Jeffrey Epstein, DOB 01/20/53. Epstein told me that over the last couple of months, when he has come into town, he has money he had left in his carry on bag, has turned up missing. Epstein said he wasn't sure of the amount of money in the carry on bag on any specific incident and thought that he possibly had misplaced the money. Epstein told me that he had purchased a spy camera from a store on Okeechobee Blvd. and had set up the camera which was in a clock in his office facing the briefcase with the money in it. Epstein then placed $4,000. in U.S. currency, one hundred dollar bill increments and left the bag on his desk as he always does when he is in town. Epstein said that he went to bed with the camera system monitoring the bag and desk area, only to wake up and twice to have $100. missing from the bag and the suspects CONFIDENTIAL 10/06/03 10/06/03 SONY_Std_00329862 EFTA_00202588 EFTA01308917 Date: 9/13/07 PALM BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT Page: 5 Time: 14:03:07 Incident Report Program: CMS301L 1-03-001498 (Continued) image on his computer hard drive. It should be noted that there were thirteen one hundred dollar bills still in the white envelope and that nothing else in the house appeared to be disturbed by the suspect. Epstein took me to the computer room where he showed me a computer monitor that was displaying a still frame of the suspect. The computer indicated a time of 0428 a.m., when the suspect came into the office area, walked behind the desk, opened the hand bag, and then opened the center drawer to the desk. It appeared as though the suspect was familiar with the house and the desk. Epstein told me that he did not know who the suspect in the photo was but thought it might be his former houseman because of his size and shape. Epstein also pointed out that the suspect in the video was wearing moccasin type shoes like his former houseman did due to his back injury. The suspect was a white male who was 5'10" in height, 250 lbs., wearing tan pants, white shirt, and a hat. Epstein provided me with the former houseman's information which was Juan P. Alessi, DOB , living at , West Florida. I advised Epstein that I would need to obtain a copy of the surveillance video from his computer hard drive in order to have in hands. Epstein told me that he had limited working knowledge of the system but he would contact the company who had installed the system and have them make a copy by Monday. Epstein told me he would call when he had more information. Epstein took me to the desk where the carry on bag was and told me that he believed that the suspect might have gained entry into the house from the sliding glass doors on the south side of the house but not the west aide of house because he had personally locked all the sliders on that side of the house. It is believed that the suspect also left the house by the same sliding door that was unlocked as there were no pry marks or indication of forced entry into the house. Epstein also showed me the bookcase behind the desk where he kept his Glock 9 mm handgun between the books which was now missing. Epstein could not supply me with the serial number for the handgun at this time but advised he would contact Gator Gun on Okeechobee Blvd. to obtain the information.

I responded to the scene and proceeded directly to headquarters where I picked up the necessary equipment and the crime scene vehicle to process the crime scene. I went in service at 9:32 a.m. and arrived on the scene at 9:33 a.m. Upon arrival I noted that the house is located at the extreme west end of the street and is located on the south side of the street with the front of the house facing north. The house is basically a two story CBS type of structure having a white flat tile roof. The trim is painted white and there are walls approximately 8' tall with metal closing gates which are controlled with a electronic touch pad on the outside.

It should be noted that the exterior temperature was 79 degrees and the humidity was 63 percent. There is a small cabana at the southern end of the pool which had computer equipment as well as exercise equipment. None of this had been touched or tampered with. On the south side of the residence in the southwest corner Mr. Epstein indicated that he believed this was the area that the intruder made entry to the residence. The room is a computer room and Florida type room and has three double sliding glass windows present. The eastern most and western most are identical in shape having two glass panels. The central one has three glass panels and is the only one of the three that has a set of 14 flagstones leading directly into the room. The flooring is a wood type of flooring and the western set of sliding doors was found ajar, however the sandy area directly outside of the door did not indicate the presence of shoe prints or barefoot prints. The central window was found ajar and still had the lock mechanism in the extended outward position. The two windows believed to have been entered were processed and no latent fingerprints were found on the western most, no fingerprints were found on the eastern most. There was one mark that was found that was not a fingerprint but could have been made from either a cloth or a rubber glove and this was found on the interior of the central window. Once inside the residence, the person went over to a desk which is a veneer covered desk and there was a black bag underneath. The black bag is approximately 2' long by 1' high and was placed on the southern side of the interior of the desk by the pedestal. The individual knelt down and pulled the case open and removed cash from a white envelope. There were thirteen one hundred dollar bills left, still in the envelope when I examined it. The thirteen one hundred dollar bills were removed in the presence of Det, and Mr. Epstein and they were counted and turned directly over to Mr. Epstein for security purposes. The top of the desk, sides of the desk and bottom of the desk was processed for latent fingerprints and no latent fingerprints of value were found on those areas. The envelope will be transported to headquarters and processed chemically for latent fingerprints. There will be a supplement to that effect that will follow.
