X DEFENDANT GHISLAINE MAXWELL'S RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS Defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell, by and through her undersigned counsel, hereby responds to Plaintiff's First Request for Production of Documents (the "Requests"). PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND GENERAL OBJECTIONS 1. This response is made to the best of Ms. Maxwell's present knowledge, information and belief. Ms. Maxwell, through her attorneys of record, have not completed the investigation of the facts relating to this case, have not completed discovery in this action, and have not completed preparation for trial. Ms. Maxwell's responses to Plaintiff's requests are based on information currently known to her and are given without waiving Ms. Maxwell's right to use evidence of any subsequently discovered or identified facts, documents or communications. Ms. Maxwell reserves the right to supplement this Response in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e). 2. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they attempt to impose any requirement or discovery obligation greater than or different from those under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the local rules of this Court or any Orders of the Court. 3. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any common interest privilege, joint defense agreement or any other applicable privilege. EFTA01111884 Case 1:15-cv-07433-RWS Document 79-2 Filed 04/04/16 Page 3 of 18 4. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek documents or information outside of Ms. Maxwell's possession, custody or control. 5. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information which is not relevant to the subject matter of the litigation and/or is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 6. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they are overly broad, unduly burdensome and/or propounded for the improper purpose of annoying, embarrassing, or harassing Ms. Maxwell. 7. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they are vague and ambiguous, or imprecise. 8. Ms. Maxwell objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information that is confidential and implicates Ms. Maxwell's privacy interests. 9. Ms. Maxwell incorporates by reference every general objection set forth above into each specific response set forth below. A specific response may repeat a general objection for emphasis or for some other reason. The failure to include any general objection in any specific response does not waive any general objection to that request. 10. The Requests seek information that is confidential and implicates Ms. Maxwell's privacy interests. To the extent such information is relevant and discoverable in this action, Ms. Maxwell will produce such materials subject to an appropriate protective order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) limiting their dissemination to the attorneys and their employees. OBJECTIONS TO DEFINITIONS II. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 1 regarding "Agent" to the extent that it purports to extend the meaning beyond those permissible by law. 12. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 3 regarding "Defendant." The Definition is overly broad and unduly burdensome to the extent it attempts to extend the scope of the Requests to documents in the possession, custody or control of individuals other than Ms. Maxwell or her counsel. 13. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 5 regarding "Employee." Ms. Maxwell is an individual, sued in an individual capacity, and therefore there is no "past or present officer, director, agent or servant" of hers. Additionally, "attorneys" and "paralegals" are not "employees" of Ms. Maxwell given that she herself is not an attorney and therefore cannot "employ" attorneys. 14. Ms. Maxwell objects to Definition No. 9 regarding "You" or "Your." The Definition is overly broad and unduly burdensome to the extent it attempts to extend the scope of 2 EFTA01111885 Case 1:15-cv-07433-RWS Document 79-2 Filed 04/04/16 Page 4 of 18 the Requests to documents in the possession, custody or control of individuals other than Ms. Maxwell or her counsel. OBJECTIONS TO INSTRUCTIONS 15. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction No. 1, in particular the definition of the "Relevant Period" to include July 1999 to the present, on the grounds that it is overly broad and unduly burdensome and calls for the production of documents that are irrelevant to this action and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The Complaint at paragraph 9 purports to describe events pertaining to Plaintiff and Defendant occurring in the years 1999 - 2002. The Complaint also references statements attributed to Ms. Maxwell occurring in January 2015. Defining the "Relevant Period" as "July 1999 to the present" is vastly overbroad, irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and as to certain of the Requests, is intended for the improper purpose of annoying or harassing Ms. Maxwell and it implicates her privacy rights. Thus, Ms. Maxwell interprets the Relevant Period to be limited to 1999-2002 and December 30, 2014 - January 31, 2015 and objects to production of any documents outside that period, except as specifically noted. 16. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction No. 3 on the grounds that it is unduly burdensome and is intended for the improper purpose of annoying or harassing Ms. Maxwell. Ms. Maxwell cannot possibly recall the specific disposition of documents, particularly electronic documents, dating back over 16 years. However, Ms. Maxwell, prior to this litigation has long had a practice of deleting emails after they have been read. 17. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction Nos. 5, 8, 9, 12, 17 to the extent they seek to impose obligations to supply explanations for the presence or absence of such documents, to specifically identify persons or documents, to provide information concerning who prepared documents, the location of any copies of such documents, the identities and contact information for persons who have custody or control of such documents, the reasons for inability to produce portions of documents, and the "natural person in whose possession they were found," beyond the requirements of Rule 34. These Instructions improperly seek to propound Interrogatories pursuant to Rule 33. 18. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction No. 13 on the grounds that it is unduly burdensome and is intended for the improper purpose of annoying or harassing Ms. Maxwell. Ms. Maxwell cannot possibly recall the specific circumstances upon which a document dating back 16 years has ceased to exist. 19. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instruction No. 15 to the extent that it calls for documents or information protected by the attorney/client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege. 20. Ms. Maxwell objects to Instructions Nos. 18 & 19 to the extent they require information on any privilege log above and beyond the requirements of Local Civil Rule 26.2. 3 EFTA01111886 Case 1:15-cv-07433-RWS Document 79-2 Filed 04/04/16 Page 5 of 18 SPECIFIC OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S FIRST REQUESTS FOR PODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS Document Request No. 1: All documents relating to communications with Jeffery Epstein from 1999 — Present.
