Document DOJ-COURT-464 is a legal motion filed by Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, related to the case of JANE DOE NO. 2 vs. JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
This document is Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's motion for an extension of time to file an appeal regarding a court order (DE 462) that requires him to produce documents related to requests numbers 7, 9, 10, 12, and 13. Epstein's lawyers argue that the timing of the order to produce documents conflicts with the 14-day period allowed for filing an appeal under Federal Rule 4, and that he needs more time to prepare his appeal. This motion is part of a larger case (08-CIV-80119-MARRA/JOHNSON) involving multiple related cases against Epstein.

As good cause in support of granting the motion, Defendant states: I. This court entered an order (DE 462) stating that Epstein must provide documents responsive to request to numbers 7, 9, 10, 12, and 13 within 14 days from the Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 464 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/09/2010
Page 2 of 4 date of said order. Federal Rule 4 allows for an appeal to be filed within 14 days of said order 2. Based upon the timing of the order to produce documents and the 14 day time period allowed for the filing of an Appeal, there remains a conflict as to the timing of both. Defendant needs an extension of time as a result of said timing conflict, and for additional the reasons set forth below. 3. Defendant seeks to appeal, pursuant to Rule 4, those portions of the order which specifically address the above requests for production. Given the breadth of the 5th Amendment addressing the above requests and the fact that the order does not address various issues in the Response (including relevance), the Defendant respectfully requests an additional 15 days from February 18, 2010 within which to "file with the Clerk of the Court, and serve of all parties written objections which shall specifically set forth the order, or part thereof, appealed from [and] a concise statement of the alleged error in the [] ruling, and statutory, rule, or case authority, in support of defendant's position." As such, Defendant requests that the due date effectively be moved to August 31, 2009. 4. The undersigned, Michael J. Pike, has a special set hearing in front of the Honorable Elizabeth Metzgen in Stuart, Florida on February 9, 2010. In addition, the undersigned, Robert D. Critton, Jr., Esq., is scheduled for various depositions in these related matters. 5. This request is not made to delay and will not prejudice any of the parties. 6. While this request is within the sound discretion of the court pursuant to Rule 4, the undersigned has consulted with opposing counsel and he has not agreed.
