Case 9:08-cv-80893-KAM Document 221 Entered on FLSD Docket 10/07/2010 Page 1 of 9 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA JANE DOE, CASE NO. 08-CV-80893-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON Plaintiff, vs. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, et al. Defendant. / RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT ESPTEIN'S APPEAL OF DENIAL OF MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND OBJECTION TO DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS Even though this particular case has been dismissed, defendant Jeffrey Epstein filed a motion in it seeking to block the use of certain incriminating correspondence in a separate state proceeding that he himself initiated against Jane Doe's attorney, Bradley J. Edwards. Bradley Edwards filed a response, and the Magistrate Judge denied Epstein's motion. The Magistrate Judge ruled that he "agree[d] with Edwards . . . that if Defendant believes he has a valid basis for prevent disclosure of the subject documents in the subject state court proceedings, he should file a motion to that effect in the appropriate state court." Order (doc. #218) at 1. Rather than file the appropriate motion in the appropriate state court, however, Epstein has appealed the magistrate judge's ruling. Nothing in his appeal has merit, and it should be summarily denied. Background A. Epstein's Lawsuit Against Edwards. EFTA01101051
