IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA CASE NO.: 502009CA040800XXXXMI3AG JEFFREY EPSTEIN, Plaintiffs vs. SCOTT ROTHSTEIN, individually, BRADLEY J. EDWARDS, individually, and L.M., individually, Defendant, NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY IN SUPPORT OF EDWARDS' MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION Bradley Edwards hereby files this notice of his reliance upon the additional authority attached, and would show that the attached opinion of the Fourth District Court of Appeal further evidences the Fourth District's adherence to the universally accepted recognition that claims for malicious prosecution are an exception to the litigation privilege's absolute bar of claims arising out of misconduct in the course of litigation. This opinion reflects a direct conflict between the interpretation of the scope of the litigation privilege reflected in the Third District's Wolfe decision and the Fourth District's repeated and consistent recognition of the continued viability of the tort of malicious prosecution in the context of circumstances where the litigation privilege has supported the dismissal of other accompanying claims.
