IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE
FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND
FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA
CASE NO.: 502009CA040800XXXXMBAG
JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
Plaintiff,
vs.
SCOTT ROTHSTEIN, individually,
BRADLEY J. EDWARDS, individually, and
L.M., individually,
Defendant,
RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO EPSTEIN'S MOTION TO
REOPEN DISCOVERY TO TAKE DEPOSITIONS
Counter-Plaintiff, Bradley J. Edwards, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby files
this Response in Oppositions to Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Reopen Discovery to Take
Depositions, and as grounds therefor states as follows:
The Motion Fails to Meet the Court's Requirements to Reopen Discovery
1. On November 27, 2017, the Court entered its Order on Motion to Reconfirm
Existing Pre-Trial Deadlines, in which the Court ruled that additional discovery will only be
permitted if "the discovery requests are impacted by the Court's rulings on motions currently
pending to be heard on November 29'h, December 6th and 7'h." At the hearing preceding the Order,
the Court outlined the standard by which any such additional discovery requests would be
considered:
So what I am going to do is this. Because there are issues that need to be
addressed -- and I'm hoping I will have orders out as soon as possible after
those hearings are done -- is that I am going to require motions to be filed
I A copy of the Court's Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 'A'.

on a discovery issue-by-discovery issue, deposition by deposition, so as to
find out several things. One, is the need to take that deposition and whether
that need has been either clarified or required by virtue of a court order that
will be entered subsequently to the commencement of Wednesday's
hearings and thereafter on those days that I provided. If it cannot be
demonstrated to the Court that these witnesses need to be taken solely
as a result the Court's ruling, then those requests will be denied
because, again, we were set to try the case next week.
***
So 20 some-odd deposition, unless they can be proven and shown to the
Court as being required as a result of the rulings of the Court, will not be
entertained. They should have been done before. And if not done before,
I will need a reason for that as well.
11/27/2017 Hearing Tr. at 12:11-25 and 13:1-6, 17-23.2
2. Thus, Epstein has the burden to establish that (a) the new depositions are required
solely as a result of a recent Court ruling, and, if so, (2) that the depositions could not have been
taken before. Epstein's motion clearly fails to meet either requirement, and therefore the motion
should be denied.3
A. Epstein Has Been Aware of the Relevance of the Testimony of These Witnesses for
Years and Could Have Deposed Them Long Before the Discovery Cutoff.
3. As an initial matter, L.M. was a named defendant in this lawsuit filed by Epstein.
Allegations regarding L.M.'s role in the Ponzi scheme and her fabricated claim are replete
2 Excerpts of the November 27, 2017 hearing transcript are attached as Exhibit
Perhaps understanding the Motion's futility, Epstein spends the first four pages arguing about Edwards' damages
and, incredibly, accusing Edwards of using L.M., E.W. and Jane Doe for his own personal gain. As Epstein is all too
aware, the only person who has forced these victims to do anything against their will is Epstein, and the suggestion
that these victims have by now "put behind them" the atrocious sexual misconduct committed against them by Epstein
is yet another example of Epstein's indifference to the permanent damage he inflicted on his child victims.

EFTA00793346
Edwards adv. Epstein

throughout Epstein's Initial Complaint. Any suggestion that L.M.'s deposition is needed "solely"
as a result of the Court's December 5, 2017 ruling is therefore absurd.
4. Jane Doe is also named repeatedly throughout Epstein's malicious and baseless
Initial Complaint, and she was also alleged to be pursuing claims against Epstein that had
"minimal" value. Edwards' first witness list, filed June 30, 2010, listed all named victims ofJeffrey
Epstein as fact witnesses for trial, which of course included Jane Doe. As such, any argument that
Jane Doe's deposition is needed "solely" as a result of a recent Court ruling is also absurd.
5. Rather, Epstein was obviously well-aware of the relevance of the testimony ofL.M.
and Jane Doe long before the Court's recent rulings. There is no need, however, to accept Edwards'
argument to that effect. Rather, the Court need only consider the fact that in August 2017 Epstein
requested and received dates to take L.M. and Jane Doe's depositions in early October 2017
(before the discovery deadline). Epstein, however, voluntarily chose not to set either witness for
deposition.
6. Thus, Epstein clearly fails to meet the first requirement enunciated by the Court,
that the depositions be needed "solely" as a result of a recent ruling, and the Motion should be
denied on those grounds alone.
B. Epstein's Prior Counsel Failed to Set L.M. and Jane Doe's Depositions, Despite
Requesting and Receiving Dates for Their Depositions in August 2017.
7. The Motion should further be denied because, although Epstein could have taken
these depositions months ago, he voluntarily chose not to so.

8. Specifically, on August 2, 2017, Epstein's prior counsel requested deposition dates
for L.M. and Jane Doe (the email also sought the depositions of E.W. and That
same day, undersigned counsel's office responded via email and stated that dates were available
in early October, and to call to clear specific dates for these depositions.
9. On August 3, 2017, Edwards, as counsel for L.M., E.W. and Jane Doe, stated that
he would accept service of subpoenas for his clients' depositions.
10. On August 14, 2017, after some back and forth email exchanges, Epstein's prior
counsel instructed undersigned counsel's office to hold 10/5, 10/11 and 10/12 for depositions.
11. On August 16, 2017, Edwards confirmed that he would make L.M., E.W., and Jane
Doe available on any date.
12. Epstein then set ' deposition for 10/5 and E.W's deposition for
10/12. No depositions were set for 10/11.
13. On September 26, 2017, Epstein unilaterally cancelled the 10/5 deposition of
after Ms. Roberts had travelled to New York from Australia solely for purposes
of sitting for the deposition.
14. Epstein failed to set L.M. and Jane Doe for deposition on 10/5, despite Edwards'
notice that he could make them available on that date.
15. As such, no depositions were taken on 10/5
16. Epstein also failed to take any depositions on 10/11.
17. Instead, Epstein used only 10/12 to take the deposition of E.W.

Edwards adv. Epstein
Case No.: 502009CA040800XXXXMBAG

Page 5 of 8
18. Thus, when the Court asks Epstein's counsel for the reason why L.M. and Jane
Doe's depositions have not been taken, the answer is quite simple: because Epstein chose not to
take them.
C. Epstein's Current Counsel Chose Not to Set Any Depositions Prior to the Close of
Discovery.
19. After Epstein's prior counsel failed to use either the 10/5 or 10/11 dates to take the
depositions of L.M. and Jane Doe, his current counsel made efforts to set witness depositions prior
to the November 24, 2017 discovery deadline.
20. Specifically, on November 13, 2017, Epstein's counsel requested deposition dates
for a number of attorneys who had represented other Epstein victims.
21. Notably, however, Epstein's current counsel failed to request new deposition dates
for either L.M. or Jane Doe.
22. On November 13, 2017, undersigned counsel's office advised Epstein's counsel
that it was available for depositions each day, apart from Thanksgiving, until the discovery cutoff
on November 24th. Thus, Epstein could have set depositions on 11/14, 11/15, 11/16, 11/17, 11/18,
11/19, 11/20, 11/21, 11/22, or 11/24.
23. Epstein failed to set any depositions, whether of the attorney witnesses or of L.M.
and Jane Doe, on the dates given.
24. In total, Epstein therefore declined to use twelve (12) days provided by
undersigned counsel to schedule the depositions of L.M. and Jane Doe prior to the discovery cut-
off. As such, the only reason these witnesses have not been deposed, witnesses whose importance

Epstein has been aware of for years, is because Epstein affirmatively chose not to depose them.
Epstein's current remorse over that litigation tactic certainly fails to meet the Court's requirements
to reopen discovery, particularly on the eve of trial in this eight (8) year old case.
Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, Epstein's Motion to Reopen Discovery should be denied.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true and correct copy of the foregoing was sent via E-Serve
