JEFFREY EPSTEIN OUR FILE NO.: 080303 Dear Mike and Bob: I recently received your Motion to Compel directed to Plaintiff's responses to Request to Produce. With respect to request #2, I'm not sure what you'd like my client to do, but she does not have any additional bills to produce to you at this time. She is only required to produce what she has, and she has done that. Additionally, you have already served subpoenas for these records, so I'm not sure why you'd waste time on this part of your motion. As for request #7, I will be happy to supplement this request by attempting to obtain an co ies of insurance cards that she may have for her health insurance. I will also make sure tila Plaintiff provides copies of any "union employment identification cards." With respect to request #17 and #18, much like the Interrogatory you asked in this regard, it is objectionable and I will see you at hearing. Furthermore, if the request did not already state so, the response even absent these objections is none. With respect to request #22, this is incredibly overbroad and invasive. Having said that, if you are willing to allow me to inspect every and all computers utilized by Jeffrey Epstein at the same time that you inspect my client's computer, I may be able to come to some agreement. I don't expect you'll allow this. I find to it extremely hard to understand how you're going to be able to argue to the Court that my client's entire computer should be subjected to your inspection while you are unwilling to do the same. Furthermore, the computers in my client's home are used, and have been used, by numerous individuals, including but not limited to family members, business associates and friends. Obviously, each of these individuals and corporations have independent rights to privacy which cannot be infringed. at fax leopoldkuvan.com CRASHWORTHINESS • MANAGED CARE ABUSE • CONSUMER.

While we are commenting on websites, my client happened to notice on your firm's website that you have resolved sexual harassment cases for $1.5 million. If you would like to use websites as a guide, maybe we can discuss resolving this case without the need for these discovery disputes. I agree with your statement contained within the motion that states that "Plaintiff's communications and interactions with others is discoverable and admissible." However, the proper way to go about this is by taking depositions, not by digging through her personal computer. If you would like to amicably resolve this matter absent a hearing, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Y, T. KUVIN STK:mlb EFTA00722691 LEOPOLD-KUVIN.

Please be advised that we turn our fax machine off promptly at 5:15 p.m. every evening. As for the content of the motion, I will agree to consult with my client to determine whether or not she can provide anymore information with response to Interrogatory #2. With respect to Interrogatories #15 and #16, I am not sure what additional information you require. My client has clearly advised, both in her responses, and in reference to the Complaint, that she was only over at the house on one occasion, and she does not remember the exact date. While a Complaint is not a sworn response, by referring to the Complaint in answer to Interrogatories, my client has hereby confirmed and verified, as well as sworn to, the relevant allegations as referenced in the Complaint by signing off on her answers to Interrogatories. Finally, with respect to Interrogatory #19, disgusting and beneath all human decency.

DEFENDANT'S, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, AMENDED OBJECTION TO PRODUCTION FROM NON-PARTY, YELLOW CAB Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, (hereinafter "Mr. Epstein"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, pursuant to Rule 1.351, Fla. R. Civ. P., hereby objects to the Notice of Production from Non-Party directed to Yellow Cab and proposed subpoena, and amends the objection to the production from Non-Party, Yellow Cab (all attached as Composite Exhibit "A") and as grounds set forth, would state: 1. Plaintiff, in her answers to interrogatories alleges she was at the home of Mr. Epstein on one occasion. Answer No. 15 to interrogatories. Within interrogatory 15, she indicates that "the cab driver (identity unknown) drove III. and her friend, . to the Defendant's home." In her complaint, she alleges that in 2005, she was at Mr. Epstein's home on this one occasion. 2. Therefore, if the purpose of the subpoena is to determine the exact date that N. and I were at the home of Mr. Epstein on that one occasion, the subpoena should be so directed to Yellow Cab, i.e. during the year 2005, do you have EFTA00722699 is. v. Epstein, et al. Page 2 any evidence of having carried passengers, ■. and I. to the home of Mr. Epstein? 3. Whereas the duces tecum states: "You are required to produce a true and accurate copy of any and all documents of whatever kind and nature, evidencing Yellow Caps (sic) dispatch form (sic) or to 358 Brillo Way, West Palm Beach, Florida for the years 2001 to the present." How is it relevant or material or calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence regarding Yellow Cabs that may have been dispatched to Brillo Way or at any time other than 2005 for one specific trip? 4. Additionally, who may have traveled to or from Mr. Epstein's home during a specific period of time, other than the Plaintiff and MEI is irrelevant, immaterial and not calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and as personal information to third parties who have a right to privacy. 5. This is strictly a "fishing expedition" unrelated to any aspect of this case. A similar Request to Produce was served in the casel v. Jeffrey E. Epstein and , Case No. 502008CA025129XXXXMB Al, in front of Judge Garrison.

Littlty-Rubin, of Lytal, Reiter, Clark, Fountain & Williams, L.L.P., West Palm Beach, and Robert M. Moletteire, of Graham, Moletteire, 'futile & Torpy, PA., Melbourne, for Respondents. HARRIS, J. Gary and Joellen Parrish ("Parrish") sued State Farm as their uninsured motorist carrier. Since there were two policies involved, Parrish claimed that the policy coverage for each policy should be stacked. State Fann defended on the basis that Par- rish had specifically selected and paid for nonstack- ing coverage. That was the state of the pleadings when Parrish requested the production of volumin- ous material seeking information relative to how the selection process concerning the stacking cover- age option was handled by State Fann, apparently to see if there was any basis to avoid the con- sequence of Parrish's previous selection. When the trial court ordered the production, State Farm filed its certiorari petition urging that the discovery re- quest was not only unduly burdensome and over- broad, but also constituted a fishing expedition un- related to the issues raised by the pleadings. In Allstate Insurance Co. v. Langston, 655 So.2d 91, 95 (Fla.1995), the supreme court held that certi- orari was available and should be used to quash an order "to the extent that it permitt[ed) discovery even when it has been affirmatively established that such discovery is neither relevant nor will lead to discovery of relevant information."

Weekly D283I (Cite as: 800 So.2d 706) (Fla.1999), the supreme court again discussed 800 So.2d 706,26 Fla. L. Weekly D2831 Langston and, without expressly overruling it, stated that the principle announced in Martin- END OF DOCUMENT Johnson, Inc. v. Savage, 509 So.2d 1097 (FIa.1987) (irreparable injury), remains the appropriate stand- ard in considering the grant of certiorari relief in pretrial discovery. In this case, when the trial court granted the pro- duction, it acknowledged that the requested discov- ery was irrelevant to any pleadings before the court. Thus the Langston criteria, to the extent it remains applicable, was met. But the judge went further "I think that a prudent lawyer, you know, has to-is en- titled to do a little fishing around the number of the complaint on related issues that might give rise to a cause of action, if there is a potential cause of tion out there. So, you know, 1 believe that if you want to call it fishing, I think a little fishing is ap- propriate and even prudent and warranted." [11[2) Thus, the error for which certiorari is here re- quested does not involve a mere alleged judicial er- ror concerning the relevancy of the requested ma- terial to the issues before the court; it is an error of law by which the judge himself has expanded the parameters of rule 1.280(bX1), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, from permitting discovery of mat- ters "relevant to the subject matter of the pending action" to authorizing a fishing expedition which "might give rise to a potential cause of action." We believe that having to defend against a potential, unstated cause of action while at the same time hav- ing to defend against the action properly before the court is sufficiently prejudicial to warrant certiorari. Further, effective review is necessary to assure compliance with the discovery rule as written. CERTIORARI is granted and the order to produce documents unrelated to the present controversy but which might possibly lead to evidence supporting some subsequent cause of action is quashed.
