IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA Case No. 50-2009CA040800XXXXMBAG JEFFREY EPSTEIN, Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant, v. SCOTT ROTHSTEIN, individually, and BRADLEY J. EDWARDS, individually, Defendants/Counter-Plaintiff. / PLAINTIFF/COUNTER-DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT/COUNTER-PLAINTIFF BRADLEY EDWARDS' MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PROPOUND LIMITED REOUESTS FOR ADMISSION Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein"), responds in opposition to the Motion for Leave to Propound Limited Requests for Admission dated December 1, 2017 [D.E. 1098] filed by Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff, Bradley Edwards ("Edwards"). BACKGROUND Discovery is over. By Court Order dated July 20, 2017, this Court special set the trial of this matter for December 5, 2017. [D.E. 938.] In doing so, the Court ordered that the deadline to complete discovery was set for 10 days before trial. Id. at H. That meant, discovery had to be completed by November 27, 2017, making written requests due by October 27, 2017. Although the Court granted Epstein's request for a continuance of the trial and reset the special set trial to March 13, 2018, it did not specifically address the Motion's second part which sought an extension of the pretrial deadlines. [D.E. 1035; 1057.] Edwards opposed any pretrial deadline extension and affirmatively moved to reconfirm the original pretrial deadlines. [D.E. EFTA00808726
