Re: Service of Process
Dear Joe:
I have had an opportunity to review the Notice Service of Process that you
filed in the Jean Luc Brunel/Jeffrey Epstein case. From my careful review it
is clear that once again the attempt to serve runs afoul of Florida Statutes
48.031, as well as the holding in the Third District in HAUSER VS. SCHIFF. I
have attached a copy of that case for your ready reference.
It is now almost two years past the January 2015 filing date of your
clients' amended complaint joining Mr. Epstein as a defendant to the
original action filed in August 2014. I remind you that no attempt was
made to even serve Mr. Epstein until March 10, 2015. In that attempt the
required Notice of Service was never filed with the Court, and which you,
yourself, agreed in your later filed Motion for Reconsideration was an
improper service. After rescheduling the hearing on Mr. Epstein's Motion
to Quash, filed on April 29, 2015, and on four different occasions, you
failed to appear. At the July 27, 2016 hearing that you, yourself, set more
than a year after the date of Mr. Epstein's Motion to Quash you sought
pardon from the Court for your continued neglect, claiming that you
somehow misunderstood the date on which you were to appear , due to a
brain issue , though it was you who cancelled the previously scheduled
June 22, 2016 hearing date and specifically scheduled the hearing on July
27, 2016.
The Court's grant of an additional 120 days for service in deference to
your medical issues did not confer on you a license to continue to
disregard the jurisdictional perquisites of proper service, with which you
have failed to comply even after having had 681 days do so . The failure
to properly serve Mr. Epstein, again is evident from the face of your
Notice of Service of Process. No response to your clients' Amended
Complaint is due or should be expected unless and until proper service is
made. I remind you that the judge set a not later than 120 days following
the Court's October 5, 2016 order.
Please be guided accordingly.
Very truly yours,
