MOTION FOR EXPEDITED RULING ON PENDING MOTION TO
DISMISS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
INTRODUCTION
This case involves a discovery order concerning certain correspondence that
the district court has ordered the Government to produce to two crime victims,
appellees Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 (hereinafter "the victims"). On July
2, 2013, the appeal of intervenors -appellants' Roy Black, Jeffrey Epstein and
Martin Weinberg (collectively referred to as "Epstein") challenging that discovery
order was docketed. On July 2, 2013, the victims filed a motion to dismiss for lack
of jurisdiction, explaining that this Court did not have jurisdiction to review the
discovery order under Mohawk Industries I Carpenter, 558 U.S. 100 (2009). On
July 12, 2013, Epstein responded in opposition to the motion to dismiss, and on
July 16, 2013, the victim's replied in support of the motion to dismiss.
On August 5, 2013, even though no briefing schedule had been established,
Epstein filed his opening brief on the merits. The Clerk's Office has advised the
victims that their brief in the merits is now due in thirty days, i.e., on September 5,
2013.
The victims according move this Court for an expedited ruling on their
pending motion to dismiss before they must begin preparing their responsive brief.

Of course, if the Court were to grant their motion to dismiss, that would obviate the
need for counsel for the victims to spend time and resources preparing a responsive
brief. Even if the Court were to deny the motion to dismiss, that would potentially
the narrow the issues that would need to be briefed on the merits. In either event,
an expedited ruling would be useful.
Because the victims brief is due on September 5, 2013, the victims
respectfully request a ruling one week earlier, by August 29, 2013, so they can
know whether to begin drafting a responsive brief.
CONCLUSION
For all the foregoing reasons, the Court should expedite a decision on the
pending motion to dismiss this appeal and rule on or before August 29, 2013.
DATED: August 6. 2013
