DOJ-COURT-466 is a legal document filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in relation to the case of Jane Doe No. 2 versus Jeffrey Epstein.
This document is Jeffrey Epstein's reply to Jane Doe's objection regarding an extension of time to file an appeal. It also includes a request for Epstein to begin assembling materials for the case. The document explains the delay was due to Bradley Edwards, formerly of Rothstein Rosenfeldt & Adler, needing time to establish his new law practice and regain access to his files.

REPLY TO PLAINTIFF JANE DOE'S OBJECTION TO EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPEAL AND, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, REQUEST FOR DIRECTION TO EPSTEIN TO BEGIN ASSEMBLING MATERIALS Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein"), by and through his undersigned attorneys, hereby files his Reply to Plaintiff, Jane Doe's Objection to Extension of Time to File Appeal and, in the Alternative, Request for Direction to Epstein to Begin Assembling Materials [DE 465], and states: 1. Bradley J. Edwards ("Edwards"), formerly of Rothstein Rosenfeldt & Adler, P.A. ("RRA"), requested that a stay be entered during the time he was in the process of assembling and forming his new law practice. 2. Edwards formally made his request for a stay in the two state court matters in which he is counsel for the plaintiffs. Judge Hafele granted his request, entered a stay, and the cases were removed from the trial docket. Case 9:08-cv-80119-KAM Document 466 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/10/2010
Page 2 of 4 3. Subsequent to the implosion of RRA, Edwards contacted the undersigned law firm and advised that he had been locked out of his office, had no access to his computer or files (including the instant Federal case), and therefore had no way to litigate matters. 4. In turn, the undersigned, as a courtesy, did not schedule depositions, IMEs, and the like relative to Edwards' client while Edwards was organizing his new law practice and regaining access to his files. As a result, this case was delayed at Edwards' request not the Defendant's. 5. Now that Edwards has established his new law firm, Edwards wishes to push this matter by ignoring, or simply forgetting that the undersigned law finn has in excess often (10) related cases. 6. The extension requested by the Defendant is not designed to delay this matter; it is simply to provide an adequate amount of time to address what are serious 5th Amendment issues. WHEREFORE, Defendant Epstein requests that the Court grant Epstein's Motion for an Extension of Time to File a Rule 4 Appeal allowing the Epstein an additional fifteen (I 5) days to file his Appeal making it due on or before ch 5, 2010.
