1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO. 08-CIV-80119-MARRA/JOHNSON JANE DOE NO. 2, Plaintiff, vs. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, Defendant. ____________________________________/ Related cases: 08-80232, 08-80380, 08-80381, 08-80994, 08-80993, 08-80811, 08-80893, 09-80469, 09-80591, 09-80656, 09-80802, 09-81092 ____________________________________/ OMNIBUS ORDER THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Defendant Epstein’s Motion for Sanctions and to Compel Deposition of Jane Doe 4 (D.E. #305); and Plaintiff, Jane Doe 4's Motion for Sanctions and Motion for Protective Order (D.E. #306). These motions have, in part, been rendered moot in that since the filing of the motions, the deposition of Jane Doe 4 has taken place. As for the sanctions portions of each of the parties’ respective motions, the Court finds no sanctions warranted against any of the parties or attorneys involved in this matter. The Court has carefully reviewed and considered the allegations made in the pleadings and finds the entire incident to have been the result of an innocent misunderstanding and misinterpretation of circumstances, and that no individual’s action in this regard rose to the level which would justify the imposition of sanctions. In accordance with the above and foregoing, it is hereby Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 417 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/19/2009

That portion of the Motion seeking an order relieving Jane Doe 4 from having to appear for deposition is denied as moot, in that since the filing of the motion, said deposition of Jane Doe 4 has taken place. The terms in place for Epstein to be granted leave to continue Jane Doe 4's deposition are the subject of a separate order. That portion of the Motion seeking an order imposing sanctions is denied.
