CASE NO. 09-34791-RBR CHAPTER 11 JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S EXPEDITED MOTION TO BE EXCUSED FROM ATTENDING SHOW CAUSE HEARING (In order to grant effective relief Expedited Hearing Requested on or before October 24, 2018, so that the Court may rule prior to the October 26, 2018, hearing) Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") moves the Court, on an expedited basis, to be excused from attending the October 26, 2018, show cause hearing, and states: INTRODUCTION On April 20, 2018, this Court entered its Order to Show Cause (the "Show Cause Order") why Fowler White and Epstein should not be held in contempt and scheduled an evidentiary show cause hearing for August 23 and 24, 2018. (D.E. 6366.) The hearing was reset to October 26, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (D.E. 6431.) In its Show Cause Order, the Court ordered Epstein to sit for a limited deposition and to attend the show cause hearing in person. (D.E. 6366.) Epstein respectfully requests to be excused from attending the show cause hearing because his deposition was taken on October 13, 2018, for a period of two hours and Epstein has filed a Declaration in support of his position.' There is nothing left to add to Epstein's testimony and it would be unnecessary and duplicative to require Epstein, who resides in the U.S. Virgin Islands, to travel to Florida for the hearing. 'Epstein's deposition transcript and Declaration are attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively. EFTA00793401
