as they are relevant to a defense of substantial truth, mitigation of damages, or impeachment of
plaintiff.”); Weber v. Multimedia Entm’t, Inc., No. 97 CIV. 0682 PKL THK, 1997 WL 729039, at
*3 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 24, 1997) (“While discovery is not unlimited and may not unnecessarily
intrude into private matters, in the instant case inquiry into private matters is clearly relevant to
the subject matter of the suit. Accordingly, plaintiff Misty Weber shall respond to defendants!
interrogatories concerning her sexual partners ... .”).
Generally speaking, instructions from attorneys to their clients not to answer questions at
a deposition should be “limited to [issues regarding] privilege.” Morales v. Zondo, Inc., 204
F.R.D. 50, 54 (S.D.N.Y. 2001). In this case, defense counsel ranged far beyond the normal
parameters of objections and sought to decide for himself what issues were relevant. That was
improper and the Court should order a resumption of the Defendant’s deposition so that she can
answer questions about her knowledge of sexual activity relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
CONCLUSION
Defendant should be ordered to sit for a follow-up deposition and directed to answer
questions regarding her knowledge of alleged “adult” sexual activity.
