Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-8 Filed 01/03/24 Page 7 of 12
Q. Would you agree with me that Ghislaine Maxwell provides underage girls to
Mr. Epstein for sex?
THE WITNESS: Upon the instruction of my lawyer, I must invoke my Fifth
Amendment privilege.
See McCawley Decl. at Exhibit 8, Sarah Kellen March 24, 2010 Dep. Tr. p. 100
(GIUFFRE001695). Both Marcinkova and Kellen are key witnesses in this action because they
were present with Mr. Epstein and Maxwell during the time period when Virginia Giuffre was
with Epstein and Maxwell.
ARGUMENT
A. The Court Should Permit Alternative Service

serve Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Kellen, and Nadia Marcincova via means other than personal

notice. Under Rule 45(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[s]erving a subpoena
requires delivering a copy to the named person... .” The purpose of “requiring delivery to a
named person is to ‘ensure receipt, so that notice will be provided to the recipient, and
enforcement of the subpoena will be consistent with the requirements of due process.’”

counsel of record was sufficient). Cases not only from this Court, but also from others in the
Second Circuit, have interpreted that rule “liberally” to allow service so long as the “the type of
