NO. 08-80811-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON
Plaintiff,
V.
JEF
and
Defendants.
ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Preserve Evidence and
Expedite Certain Discovery (DE 22), filed September 6, 2008. Plaintiff represents that
Defendants have not agreed to the relief requested in this motion on the basis that Defendants
believe the motion is moot because of another order recently entered by the Court in Doe 11
Epstein, NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA. The Court has carefully considered the motion and is
otherwise fully advised in the premises.
It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff's Motion (DE 22) is GRANTED IN
PART. Defendants are directed to provide duplicates of all evidence subject to this Court's
protective order in Doe 1 Epstein, No. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA (Sept. 5, 2008) to Plaintiff
should said evidence be returned to Defendants by the State of Florida. Plaintiff's Motion is
DENIED IN PART AS MOOT as to the request to preserve evidence since the evidence in
EFTA00175475
Case 9:08-cv-8L I1-KAM Down', it 24 Entered G.. ELSD Docket 09, .A2008 Page 2 of 2
question is already subject to a protective order issued by this Court.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County,
Florida, this 14ih day of September, 2008.

PLAINTIFF
vs.
and
DEFENDANTS
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO PRESERVE EVIDENCE
AND EXPEDITE CERTAIN DISCOVERY
WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM
Plaintiff moves, pursuant to Rules 26 and 34 to Preserve Evidence
and Expedite the Discovery of this Evidence and states:
1. Defendants removed this action to federal court.
2. This case was recently reassigned to this division by the Honorable
William Zloch.
3. This is one of several cases pending in this division which alleges sexual
abuse of a female minor by the defendant JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
4. It has come to the attention of the undersigned that Defendant JEFFREY
EPSTEIN filed a Motion with the Florida State Court to return the evidence seized
at his home in conjunction with his criminal prosecution. With respect to the
details of EPSTEIN's motion, Plaintiff respectfully requests this court to take
EFTA00175477
Case 9:08-cv-8L .1-KAM Doom_ ..t 22 Entered L. FLSD Docket Oth . )2008 Page 2 of 4
judicial notice of a similar motion and its attachments filed at Docket Entry 12 in
the separate case filed in this court by the name of JANE DOE, a/k/a. JANE DOE
NO. 1 v. JEFFREY EPSTEIN et al. Case NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRADOMISON
5. This evidence is relevant and critical to the prosecution of not only the
instant claim, but for other suits filed against Defendant EPSTEIN, including but
not limited to the Florida RICO claims filed in State Court.
6. As stated in the certificate, the undersigned has conferred with counsel
for EPSTEIN. They take the position that this motion would be moot because of an
order recently entered in JANE DOE, a/k/a. JANE DOE NO. 1 v. JEFFREY
EPSTEIN et al. Case NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON. However,
respectfully believes that an enforceable order is needed in this particular
case. In addition, she requests a more detailed order which includes all of the
numerous law firms representing the defendants EPSTEIN and
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully request the Court grant her Motion to
Preserve of all the seized Evidence identified in the Palm Beach Police Department
Property Receipt attached to the Motion to Preserve Evidence filed at Docket Entry
#12 in the case of JANE DOE, a/k/a. JANE DOE NO. 1 v. JEFFREY EPSTEIN
et al. Case NO.08-80804-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON should it be Returned to
EPSTEIN by the State Court, and expedite the duplication of this evidence
immediately upon its return, in advance of any Rule 26 conference.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW
Pursuant to Rules 26, 30 and 34, of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
this court has the authority to modify the normal time limitations under the Rules.
See AT&T Mobility LLC v. Dynamic Cellular Corp., 2008 WL 2139518 (S.D. Fla.
2008); see also Tradone Wireless, Inc. v.King Trading, Inc., 2008 WL 918243
(N.D. Tex. 2008). Additionally, when there is a good faith belief that evidence may
be lost the Court has the authority to enter an Order preserving such evidence. Id.
at 1. An injunction is not required nor are the elements of an injunction necessary
before entering an Order preserving such evidence. Id. at 2.
Given that Defendant EPSTEIN has plead guilty and is currently serving a
year in jail based on the charges which form the foundation Plaintiffs (and many
other Plaintiffs') claims, it is reasonable to assume the State's seized evidence is
extremely harmful to Defendant EPSTEIN.
As a result, without a Protective Order Defendant EPSTEIN has no reason to
keep or maintain this negative evidence; Plaintiff has put Defendant EPSTEIN on
notice that this evidence is relevant to the instant action and any destruction could
potentially constitute spoliation. If this evidence were destroyed Plaintiff would be
severely prejudiced.

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441, 1446, and 1332(aX1), the defendants,
Jeffrey Epstein and hereby remove this action' from Palm Beach
County Circuit Court to the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida, and respectfully state as follows:
1. This case is within the original jurisdiction of this Court.
This case is properly removable because it falls within the original
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1) (establishing that federal district courts have original
v. Epstein et at, Case No. 50 2008 CA 005240 XXXX MB (Fla. 15th Cir. Ct.

jurisdiction over cases where the amount "in controversy [is more than $75,000] . .
. and [when the controversy] is between citizens of different states").
2. The amount in controversy in this action exceeds $75,000.
The Complaint contains a generic prayer for relief.2 It is clear, however, that
the plaintiff seeks more than $75,000 in damages. This case seeks damages in
connection with alleged sexual misconduct. (Compl. ¶¶ 6-7,) The Complaint
alleges that has "suffered mental anguish, mental pain and suffering,
psychic trauma, and a loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life." (Compl. ¶ 9.)
These are serious allegations. Cf., e.g., Woods v. Southwest Airlines, Co., 523 F.
Supp, 2d 812, 820 (N.D. III. 2007) (determining, in the context of diversity
jurisdiction, that the $75,000 threshold had been satisfied, and "clearly
[surpassed]," based on "the nature of the injuries alleged" in the complaint); see
also Williams v. Best Buy Co., Inc., 269 F.3d 1316, 1319 (11th Cir. 2001) ("When
[a] complaint does not claim a specific amount of damages, removal from state
court is proper if it is facially apparent from the complaint that the amount in
controversy exceeds the jurisdictional requirement.").
2
The Complaint seeks damages for "[more than] . . . $15,000." (Compl. ¶ I.) This
boilerplate is routinely used in Florida pleading practice to trigger application of section
26.012, Florida Statutes, the statute that establishes the jurisdictional amount required for
filing in Florida's Circuit Court (as opposed to County Court).

Further, the allegations by this plaintiff are virtually identical to allegations
made in four separate civil actions, filed by four different plaintiffs, against Mr.
Epstein in federal court.3 In each of those actions, the plaintiffs are seeking
damages in excess of $50 million - - well over the $75,000 amount-in-controversy
requirement for diversity jurisdiction. See Jane Doe No. 2 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4; Jane Doe
No. 3 at D.E. I ¶ 4; Jane Doe No. 4 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4; Jane Doe No. 5 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4.
3. There is complete diversity.
Diversity jurisdiction requires complete diversity. Carden r. Arlcoma
Assocs., 494 U.S. 185, 187 (1990) ("Since its enactment, we have interpreted the
diversity statute to require 'complete diversity' of citizenship." (citing Strawbridge
I. Curtiss, 7 U.S. (3 Cranch) 267, 267-68 (1806))); see also MacGinnitie I. Hobbs
Group, LLC, 420 F.3d 1234, 1239 (11th Cir. 2005) (stating that "[e]omplete
diversity requires that no defendant in a diversity action be a citizen of the same
state as any plaintiff"). As demonstrated below, this case satisfies the statutory
requirement of complete diversity.
(a) Plaintiff= is a citizen of Florida. (Compl. ¶ 2.)
3 See Jane Doe No. 2 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80119-KAM (S.D. Ha. filed Feb. 6,
2008); Jane Doe No. 3 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80232-KAM (S.D. Ha. filed Mar.
5, 2008); Jane Doe No. 4 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80380-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed Apr.

(b) While the Complaint suggests that Mr. Epstein might be a citizen of
New York or Florida, he is, in fact, a citizen of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
(Epstein Aff. Ex. A.)4
(c) Contrary to the allegations in the Complaint, Defendan
is a citizen of New York, not Florida. Stmt. Ex. B.)
4. This Notice satisfies the procedural requirements of 28 U.S.C. §
1446.
First, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1446(6), this Notice is timely. Only
defendant Epstein has been served with process. Defendant has not yet
been served. See Hill Dermaceuticals, Inc." RX Solutions, United Health Group,
Inc., No, 6:08-cv-330-Or1-31KRS, 2008 WL 1744794, at *3 (M.D. Fla. Apr. I I,
2008) (concluding that removal petition was timely where it was filed within 30
days after the last defendant was served).
Second, in accordance with section 1446(d), defendants have served this
Notice of Removal on July 21, 2008,
Third, in accordance with section 1446(6), all of the defendants join this
Petition and consent to removal.
District courts may consider affidavits and other evidence to support removal
jurisdiction. See Sierminskil. Transouth Fin. Corp., 216 F.3d 945, 949 (1lth Cir. 2000).

5. The State Court docket has been filed.
All papers filed in the State Court are attached to this Removal Petition.
Conclusion
Because this is a civil action between citizens of different states, excluding
any fraudulently joined parties, and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000,
exclusive of interests and costs, this Court has original jurisdiction over this action
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1).
WHEREFORE, the defendants, Jeffrey Epstein and remove
this case from Palm Beach Circuit Court to the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida.
