Page 4 of 8 5. The foregoing discovery requests generally relate to the Plaintiffs' past sexual history. Epstein's Motions to Compel said discovery significantly affect upcoming depositions and Independent Medical Examinations. 6. Epstein is concerned that if Plaintiffs are deposed or examined by a medical doctor before the Court rules on the above-cited motions, Plaintiffs will object and refuse to answer any questions related to past sexual history and will also disrupt the Independent Medical Examination process. Indeed, Jane Doe refused to answer such questions in her deposition. Under those circumstances, if the Court grants Epstein's Motions to Compel, Epstein will have to re-depose each Plaintiff who refuses to answer such questions. 7. In its Order on Defendant Epstein's Emergency Motion for Independent Medical Examination of Plaintiff (DE #289), the Court indicated this line of questioning will be permitted. In denying Plaintiffs request to limit the scope of the examination, specifically as to questions regarding "highly sensitive areas of inquiry including Plaintiffs medical history, psychiatric history, sexual history, social history, sexual abuse history, substance abuse history, etc.," the Court noted: Presumably Plaintiff will be asked these same questions [regarding past medical history, past psychiatric history, past sexual history, etc.] two more times, first by defense counsel at Andriano 's deposition scheduled to take place shortly, and again by Dr. Hall at the upcoming examination. Under these circumstances, where Plaintiff is seeking to recover medical expenses associated with these complex medical issues, full knowledge of Plaintiffs past and present medical, psychological, familial and social histories is essential. And while neither duplication nor embarrassment is desired, under the circumstances presented, where the number and scope of damages claimed are vast and Plaintiffs past history eventful, it may nonetheless be unavoidable. See DE #289 at 2-4. 4 Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 347 Entered on FLSD Docket 10/14/2009
Page 5 of 8 8. Plaintiffs, Jane Does 2 - 8, have since filed a response (DE #345) to Epstein's Motion to Compel Plaintiffs' Independent Medical Exams Pursuant to Rule 35 (DE #s 303, 308, 310, 317, 319, 328). In their response (DE #345), Plaintiffs seek to prevent this line of relevant questioning at their respective IMEs. Therefore, once again, Plaintiffs seek to delay the matters and attempt to dictate how discovery will take place and the questions they will answer. If a ruling is made consistent with DE #289 referenced above, Plaintiffs will not be able to delay the IMEs and depositions in these cases. 9. Thus, it would promote judicial economy, save the parties time and expense and expedite discovery if the Court determines Epstein's Motions to Compel (DE #s 67 and 68) as well as the identical Motions to Compel filed in Case Nos. 08-80893, 08-80232, 08-80380, 08- 80381, 08-80994, 08-80993 and 08-80811. The parties have various trial schedules to comply with pursuant to this Court's orders. If Plaintiffs continue to delay this matter based upon their belief that they can object to certain topics and questions at their IMEs because the Court (according to Plaintiffs) has not ruled on issues such as discoverability of "past sexual history," not only will Epstein be unable to comply with the Court's trial orders, but any IME will be fruitless because Plaintiffs' counsel will object to any questions regarding past sexual history (DE #345). Therefore, Epstein respectfully submits that rulings on these outstanding discovery issues must be made. WHEREFORE, Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, respectfully requests the Court rule on Epstein's Motion to Compel Response to First Request to Produce, Motion to Compel Answers to First Set of Interrogatories, Plaintiffs Motion for Preliminary Injunction Restraining Fraudulent Transfer of Assets, Appointment of Receiver to Take Charge of Property of Epstein 5 Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 347 Entered on FLSD Docket 10/14/2009
