Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 470 Entered on FLSD Docket 07/29/2019 Page 1 of 12 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra JANE DOE #1 and JANE DOE #2 v. UNITED STATES JANE DOE 1 AND JANE DOE 2'S OPPOSITION TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A REPLY ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 22, 2019 COME NOW Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 (also referred to as "the victims"), by and through undersigned counsel, to respond in opposition to Intervenor Epstein's Motion for Leave to File a Reply (DE 468). Epstein's motion for leave to file some sort of open-ended "reply" is, in truth, a motion for leave to file an open-ended "sur-reply." It is simply a request to get the last word in. His motion provides another illustration of Epstein attempting to use his vast resources to obtain opportunities that other litigants never receive. It is also designed to thwart the victims' efforts to obtain an expedited ruling on remedies in this case that has spanned more than eleven years. Surreplies are heavily disfavored. The Court should deny Epstein's motion to file one. RELEVANT FACTUAL BACKGROUND A quick summary of the procedural background will demonstrate how Epstein's is unfairly attempting to extend and delay proceedings. On July 7, 2008, Jane Doe 1 (and later Jane Doe 2) filed this petition for enforcement of their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, arguing that their right to confer (and other rights) had been violated. DE 1. Eleven years later, on February 21, 2019, this Court agreed, granting summary judgment on this point for the two victims. DE 435. The Court directed the parties to confer with 15 days on how to schedule proceedings on remedy. 1 EFTA02758582
