DEFENDANT, EPSTEIN'S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS' LANE DOE'S 2 THROUGH 7, MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO RESPOND TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO COMPEL AND/OR IDENTIFY PANE DOE IN THE STYLE ET AL. Defendant, JEFFERY EPSTEIN, (EPSTEIN), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Response in Opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Enlargement of Time to Respond to Epstein's Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe in the style EFTA02744435 Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 115 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/27/2009 Page 4 of 6 Page 4 of this case and Motion to Identify Jane Doe in Third -Party Subpoenas for purposes of Discovery, or alternatively Motion to Dismiss Sua Sponte, and states as follows: 1. Epstein filed the Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe's 2 through 7 on May 5, and 6, 2009. 2. Plaintiffs' Response is due on May 22, 2009. While the undersigned counsel agreed that Plaintiffs could have an extension of time of one week to file and serve their opposition Motion (i.e., until May 29, 2009), Plaintiffs do not find it a reasonable agreement. Plaintiffs have requested an additional twenty (20) days to respond to the Motion to Compel and/or Identify. As set forth in the Motion to Compel and/or Identify, the failure and/or refusal to allow Epstein to identify Jane Doe's 2 through 7 in various third -party subpoenas is preventing meaningful discovery and the preparation of Epstein's defenses in this matter in anticipation of trial. The Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe is incorporated herein by reference. Therefore, all those arguments apply herein. 3. As set forth in the Motion to Compel and/or Identify, Jane Doe Numbers 2 through 7, these cases have been filed for some time. Therefore, discovery should have been permitted so that Epstein would be able to properly prepare and defend the claims brought against him by Jane Doe Numbers 2 through 7. Plaintiffs, and their counsel, have not agreed to the relief set forth in the Motion to Compel and/or Identify Jane Doe Numbers 2 through 7. CMA agreed to such relief. Exhibit "A". Therefore, any extension granted to Jane Doe's Numbers 2 through 7 will further delay discovery EFTA02744436 Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 115 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/27/2009 Page 5 of 6 Page 5 in this matter. Such a delay has been addressed by Epstein filing his Motion to Strike cases from the current trial docket, dated May 19, 2009. 4. Discovery should not be delayed in these matters any longer. WHEREFORE, Epstein hereby respectfully requests that an Order be entered requiring Plaintiffs, Jane Doe's #2 through #7 to file their opposition Motion to the Motion to Compel and/or Identify on or before May 29, 2009, for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.
