MOTION TO CLARIFY SENTENCE TO CORRECT SCRIVENER'S ERROR COMES NOW the Defendant, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, by and through his undersigned attorney and moves this Honorable Court to enter an Order clarifying the sentence to correct a scrivener 's error contained in the sentencing documents in the Defendant's case. In support thereof the Defendant would state as follows: 1. The Defendant was charged by Information in the above referenced case and the case was assigned to Criminal Division "W'. 2. The case was resolved by a guilty plea after plea negotiations between the parties. It was a condition of the plea negotiations that the case be resolved on June 30, 2008. 3. The case was scheduled for a plea conference on June 30, 2008 in Criminal Division "W', the division that this case and the companion case had always been assigned to. On that date, retired Judge Deborah Pucillo was substituting for the assigned Division "VV' judge, Sandra McSorley, because Judge McSorley would not be sitting on that day. 4. Judge Pucillo handled all cases assigned to Division "W' on June 30, 2008 including that of the Defendant. SCANNED DEC 0 8 2008 EFTA00233557
• • 5. The Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, entered his guilty pleas on June 30, 2008 in Division "W' before Judge Pucillo. All plea documents and court commitments from court on June 30, 2008 reflect that this was a Division "W" case and was being resolved in Division "W', the division the case had always been assigned to. 6. As part of the negotiated settlement of the case, the Defendant was sentenced to a twelve month sentence in Case No. 2006CF009454AXX, followed by a six month sentence on this case, consecutive with the first twelve month sentence in the in Case No. 2006CF009454AXX. The Defendant is sentenced to twelve months of community control I consecutive to the two above referenced jail sentences. The community control sentence begins only after the two jail sentences have been served. 7. On July 18, 2008 Judge Sandra McSorley, the permanent judge assigned to Division "W', signed an Order of Community Control, without notice to the parties, nunc pro tunc to June 30, 2008. The reason for this is that the substitute judge had neglected to sign an Order of Community Control in this case at the time of the plea. See the Order of Community Control attached as Exhibit "A". 8. The Order of Community Control signed by Division "W' Judge McSorley on July 18, 2008, contains a minor scrivener's error that needs to be corrected. The Order of Community Control could be misinterpreted to suggest that the Defendant was placed on community control on June 30, 2008 based on the box that the clerk checked in error when preparing the Order of Community Control. 9. The parties agree that the Defendant's twelve month sentence on Case No. 2006CF009454AXX is followed by a six month sentence in the instant case. The parties agree that the one year period of community control is to only begin after the Defendant EFTA00233558
has completed his jail sentences. 10 Assistant State Attorney Lanna Belohlavek does not to object to Motion to Clarify Sentence to Correct Scrivener's Error. WHEREFORE the Defendant moves this Honorable Court to enter an Order correcting the scrivener's error in the original Order of Community Control clarifying the intent to the parties that the Defendant's community control sentence begins only after his jail sentence terminates. I HEREBY CERTIFY that a copy of the foregoing has been furnished by mail to Lanna Belohlavek, State Attorney's Office, 401 North Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, this 41h day of December, 2008.

• (b) As defined In sub-subparagraph (1)(a)1.b. must maintain registration with the department for the duration of his or her life until the person provides the department with an order issued by the cast that designated the person as a sexual predator, as a sexually violent predator, or by another sexual offender designation In the state or jurisdiction in which the order was issued which states that such designation has been removed or demonstrates to the department that such designation, if not imposed by a court, has been removed by operation of law or court order in the state o► jurisdiction in which the designation was made, and provided such person no longer meets the criteria for registration as a sexual offender under the laws of this state. (12) The Legislature finds that sexual offenders, especially those who have committed offenses against minors, often pose a high risk of engaging in sexual offenses even after being released from incarceration or commitment and that protection of the public from sexual offenders is a paramount government interest. Sexual offenders have a reduced expectation of privacy because of the public's interest In public safety and in the effective operation of government. Releasing information concerning sexual offenders to law enforcement agencies and to persons who request such Information, and the release of such information to the public by a law enforcement agency or public agency, will fists the governmental interests of public safety. The designation of a person as a sexual offender is not a sentence or a punishment but is simply the status of the offender which is the result of a conviction for having committed certain crimes.

THE PALM BEACH POST MONDAY, JUNE IS, 4009 The Palm Beach Post ALEX TAYLOR, Publisher TIM BURKE, Executive Editor RANDY SCHULTZ, Editor of the Editorial Page Unseal the Epstein deal A rich, middle-aged Palm Beecher who preyed on girls almost 40 years younger already has received too many breaks from the system. He doesn't deserve another. In July 2008, at the age of 55 and after paying the equiva- lent of a small country's gross domestic product in legal fees, Jeffrey Epstein escaped federal charges and pleaded guilty in state court to a pair of charges related to his luring five girls — ages 14 to 17 — to his house. The girls undressed and massaged him in return for $200 to $300. HO serving only 18 months in the. Palm Beach County Jail, and he's serving only nights. And now he wants just one more favor. When Epstein entered his state plea, the terms of his federal deal were sealed from the public. That violated normal procedures. Attor- neys for some of the victims, who ' have filed civil lawsuits, want that plea deal unsealed, probably because the details would help their cases. But given the nature of this case, there% also a public interest One con- dition of the federal plea, for example, was that he take the state deal. That's why The Post also is seeking to have the file unsealed. Epstein% lawyers, Epstein Palm Beach sex offender deserves no more breaks. of course, want it kept secret. Last week, a Palm Beach County judge set a hearing for June 25. Epstein attorney Jack Goldberger claims that the file should stay sealed to protect the "orderly administration of justice" and "protect a compelling government interest." Oh, and third parties might get hurt. The compel- ling interest is Epsteinh, and there is no privacy issue since the victims themselves are making the request Palm • Beach police spent 11 months investigating Epstein, only to see then-State Attorney Barry Krischer kick the case to a grand jury. Mr. Krischer backed off when one of Epstein's gold-plated attor- neys, Alan Dershowitz, announced that some of the victims had posted MySpace comments about their alco- hol and marijuana use. Epstein% "best" defense has been that he didn't know the girls were underage. "How he verified that," Mr. Goldberger said, "I don't know" Investigators found a high school transcript in Epstein's house. He didn't know? The public should know what Jeffrey Epstein did, and what the system did for him. EFTA00233583

THE PALM BEACH POST • THURSDAY, JUNE 11.2009 Judge delays ruling on request to unseal plea deal in sex case By SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEL Palm Beach Post Saill Writer WEST PALM BEACH — A circuit judge on Wednes- day did not unseal the deal that money manager Jeffrey Epstein of Palm Beach struck with fed- eral prosecutors to avoid chairs, opting instead to give Epstein lawyers a chance to demonstrate why it should remain hid- den from public view. Circuit Judge Jeff Colbath ac- knowledged at a hearing that Epstein's deal was not sealed in state court in ac- cordance with the rules. "I don't see where any of the procedures were ever followed," he said. Colbath has given Epstein% defense attorney, Jack Goldberger, an op- portunity to argue that the document was properly sealed and asked lawyers to submit briefs to him by Friday. Colbath also set a full hearing for June 25. Attorneys for young Epstein women now suing Epstein are asking Colbath to un- seal the deal that Epstein brokered with federal prosecutors. A lawyer for The Palm Beach Post also has joined in the request. "Ilk a secret agree- ment. A secret, sweetheart agreement," said former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, who now represents some of the women. "Everybody was in on this deal except the victims and the public," Berger said. "The public should be outraged it has gone as far as it has." A second attorney representing the women, Brad Edwards, has seen the sealed document. A federal judge allowed him and his clients to view it, but not to discuss its con- tents. Edwards said the women were "outraged" at what had been negotiated without their knowledge. A reporter asked Edwards if he thought Epstein re- ceived special treatment by federal prosecutors. "Are you kidding? It's transparent. Certainly no one else gets treated like that," Edwards said. Epstein, 56, a reported money manager of billion- aires, is currently serving an 18-month sentence in the Palm Beach County Stockade after pleading guilty nearly a year ago in state court to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution. The saga began years ago when the Palm Beach Police Department began investigating whether young woolen were be- ing brought to Epstein's mansion on El Brillo Way to massage him and have sex with him in exchange for money. Epstein§ attorneys, in federal filings, have referred to sealed docu- ments as a deferred pros- ecution agreement with federal prosecutors and have called it "unprec- edented" and "highly unusual." Goldberger said his cli- ent has not received any special treatment. e Susan_spencer_ [email protected] EFTA00233589
THE PALM BEACH POST • WEDNESDAY. RAE 10, 2009 Women want sex plea deal unsealed Their attorneys will ask a judge to open Jeffrey Epstein's records. By SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEL Palm Beach Past Ste Weiler WFSC PALM BEACH - When wealthy money manager Jeffrey Epstein of Palm Beach pleaded guilty last year to pro- curing teehs for prostitution, his case detoured around local and state rules regarding the sealing of court documents. At a plea conference on the state charges, a judge, a defense lawyer and a pros- ecutor huddled at the bench and decided that a deal Epstein Epstein had struck with federal prosecute tors to avoid charges should be sealed, according to a transcript of the hearing. And so it was. But Florida rules of judicial adniin- istration, as well as rules of the Palm Beach County court system, require public notification that a court document has been or will be sealed, meaning kept from public view The rules also require a judge to find a significant reason to seal, See EPSIEIN, 4A II. See past coverage of Jeffrey Epstein's sex scandals. PannBeachPost.com/epstein. EFTA00233590
Public has right to know details of deal, Post attorney will claim IIP• EPSTEIN from IA such as protecting a trade secret or a compelling gov- ernment interest. Yet no notification or reason occurred in Epstein case, according to court records. Epstein own attorneys. in federal filings, have referred to his confiden- tial deferred prosecution agreement with the US. attorneyk office, struck in September 2007, as "un-. precedented" and "highly unusual." And it was "a significant inducement" for Epstein to . accept the state§ deal, observed the state judge who accepted his plea, County Judge Deborah Dale Pucillo. Epstein now faces at least a dozen civil lawsuits in federal and state courts filed by young women who said they had sex with him and now are seeking dam Attorneys for some of those women want his agreement with federal prosecutors unsealed and will ask Circuit Judge Jef- frey Colbath to do so today. "It is against public policy for these documents to be have been sealed and hidden from public scrutiny. As a member of the public, E.W. has a right to have these documents unsealed," wrote former Circuit Judge Bill Berger, now in private practice and representing one of the women, The Palm Beach Post also will ask Colbath to unseal the agreement. Post attont ney Deanna Shullman will argue that the public has a right to know the specifics of Epstein deal. According to various media accounts, Epstein moved in circles that in- cluded President Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew. "International Moneyman of Mystery" de- clared a 2002 New York mag- azine profile of Epstein. Epstein, 56, is in the Palm Beach County Stock- ade, serving an 18-month sentence after pleading guilty nearly a year ago to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for prostitution. He is allowed out from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., escorted by a deputy, said Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman 'Teri Barbera. During a Palm Beach Police Department in- vestigation, five victims and 17 witnesses gave statements. They told of young women brought by his assistants to Epstein mansion on El Brillo Way for massages and sexual activity, and then being paid afterward. At Epstein's plea confer- ence last year, his attorney, Jack Goldberger, and then-Assistant State At- torney Lanna Belohlavek approached Pucillo in a sidebar conference. Pucillo, who had left the bench nine years earlier, was filling in temporarily as a senior judge. According toa transcript, Goldberger told Pucillo that Epstein had entered a con- fidential agreement with the US. attorney's office in which federal prosecu- tors brokered not pursuing charges against him if he pleaded guilty in state court Pucillo then said she wanted a sealed copy of the agreement filed in his case, and Goldberger concurred that he wanted it sealed. Belohlavek later signed off on it. The Florida Sunl it& Court has expressed "seri- ous concerti' and launched an all-out inquiry into seal- ing procedures across the state following media re- ports in 2006 of entire cases being sealed and disappear. ing from court records. "The publick constitu- tional right of access to court records must remain invio- late, and this court is fully committed to safeguarding this right," justices wrote in their final report Epstein's office on Thesday referred any questions to Goldberger, who declined to comment.

INTRODUCTION This appeal concerns attempts to thwart public scrutiny of how government responded to the prostitution of children in Palm Beach County. In the order at issue below, the trial court correctly unsealed a non-prosecution agreement and its addendum. A predecessor judge found that the agreement significantly induced Petitioner to accept a plea agreement that allowed him to serve 18 months in jail for luring children to his Palm Beach mansion for "massages" or sexual activity. At the time that the non-prosecution agreement and its addendum (collectively "the NPA") were accepted for filing, no basis for closure was asserted or found. Thus, the NPA was not properly sealed, and the prior closure order was properly vacated. Moreover, no basis currently exists for closure, and the pending petition — like Petitioner's filings below — contain nothing more than unsubstantiated assertions that confidentiality is required. Thus, continued closure is not warranted. Certainly unsealing the documents was not such a clear departure from the essential requirements of law as to warrant certiorari relief. Consequently, the pending petition must be denied. In addition, this Court should exercise its inherent authority under Rule 9.410 of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure to sanction Petitioner for his frivolous and bad faith attempts to cloak the resolution of the criminal charges 1 EFTA00233613
against him in secrecy by awarding to Respondent, Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc. d/b/a The Palm Beach Post ("the Post") its attorneys' fees and costs in responding to this petition. JURISDICTION The Post adopts Respondent E.W.'s statement concerning jurisdiction. Insofar as this Court finds jurisdiction, the Post requests that this Court expedite its consideration of this matter, so as to remedy the denial to date of the public's and press's constitutional and common law rights of access. Art. I, § 24, Fla. Const.; Fla. R. App. P. 9.100(d); Sarasota-Herald Tribune'. State, 924 So. 2d 8, 11 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006) (rule 9.100(d) permits "expedited" review of orders excluding the press). NATURE OF THE RELIEF SOUGHT The Post asks this Court to deny the pending petition and to let stand the circuit court's Orders dated June 25, 2009 and June 26, 2009, which unsealed the NPA, and directed the Clerk of Court in and for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida to release these records to the public.' Petitioner has sought review of the June 26, 2009 Order by motion rather than by petition for writ of certiorari. Though the June 26 Order does address the matter of Petitioner's request for stay, the order also directs the Clerk of Courts to release the records, review of which should have been sought by certiorari. 2 EFTA00233614
STATEMENT OF THE CASE AND FACTS This proceeding concerns the public's constitutional and common law rights of access to records crucial to the disposition of criminal charges against Petitioner Jeffrey Epstein. Specifically, Petitioner seeks review of two orders unsealing a non-prosecution agreement and its addendum (collectively the "NPA"), which are records of the trial court below. State I Epstein, Case Nos. 06 CF9454AMB, 08 CF938 1 AMB. Petitioner was investigated by the State of Florida for felony solicitation of children for prostitution. (A-7 at p. 3, I. 15 — p. 4,1. 4; A-8.) The victims allege Epstein brought and paid teenage girls to come to his home for sex and/or "massages." (A-11 at ¶ 6 and n. 1.) Epstein's minor victims are numerous (A-7 at p. 20, II. 13-18) and the case drew attention of the highest-ranking law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County. Frustrated during the course of the investigation, Police Chief even penned a letter to State Attorney Barry Krischer, calling his office's handling of the investigation "highly unusual" and suggesting that he disqualify himself from the case if the state would not act (A-11 at ¶ 6; A- 18 at p. 36,11. 7-142.) A federal investigation of Epstein's conduct as it relates to soliciting children for prostitution ensued. 2 References to "A-" are to Petitioner's Appendix. 3 EFTA00233615
Then abruptly, in June 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in the trial court below to felony solicitation of minors for prostitution, was designated a Sexual Offender pursuant to Florida law, and was sentenced to 18-months jail and community control. (A-8.) Before accepting the terms of his state plea, Epstein entered into a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors. (A-7 at p. 38,11. 9-18.) The non-prosecution agreement and its addendum were filed under seal in the lower court on July 2, 2008 and August 25, 2008, respectively.3 According to Epstein's lawyers (and presumably the NPA itself), taking the state plea was a condition of the NPA. (A-7 at p. 38,11. 13-18.) The NPA is invalidated if Epstein fails to fulfill the obligations of the state plea deal (A-7 at p. 38, 11. 22 - 25.) In accepting the state plea, the trial court viewed the NPA a "significant inducement in accepting" the plea and recognized that the NPA influenced the defendant to make the state plea. (A-7 at p. 39,11. 19-21; p. 40,11. 10-13.) In considering the plea at the hearing, the court requested a sealed copy of the non-prosecution agreement and asked whether Petitioner had signed it. (A-7 at 3 The NPA and its addendum were filed under seal in this Court on July 1, 2009. 4 The Post and its lawyers have not seen the NPA, though it was reviewed, in camera, by the trial court (A-19). 4 EFTA00233616
p. 40,11.4-6.) Epstein's lawyer indicated it was signed and interjected that he "would like to seal the copy." (A-7 at p. 40,11. 7-9.) Representatives from the U.S. Attorneys' Office were present at the hearing (A-7 at p. 39,11. 22-23) but stated no objection to filing the non-prosecution agreement in the state court file. Thereupon, without any further consideration, the trial court requested a sealed copy of the non-prosecution agreement. (A-7 at p. 40,11.9-10.) On July 2, 2008, without any further proceedings on the issue, the court entered an Agreed Order Sealing Document in Court File, which allowed Epstein to file the non-prosecution agreement that was attached to the Agreed Order under seal. (A-9.) By its terms, the closure order was limited to the non-prosecution agreement and did not include its addendum. The order makes no findings with respect to closure and never expires. (A-9.) The addendum was filed six weeks later, on August 25, 2008, without any further order of the Court with respect to closure. Since Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution, he has been named in at least 12 civil lawsuits that — like the charges in this case — allege Epstein lured teenage girls to his Palm Beach mansion for sex and/or "massages." (A-1)5 At least 11 cases are pending. In another lawsuit, one of the Epstein's 5 See also A-11 at ¶ 6 (citing Doe I Epstein, Case No. 08-80069 (S.D.

accusers has alleged that federal prosecutors failed to consult with her regarding the disposition of possible charges against Epstein. (A-1; A-18 at p. 22,1. 20 — p. 23,1. 15.)6 Given the important public interest in this matter, on June 1, 2009, the Post moved to intervene below for the purpose of obtaining access to the NPA. The Court granted the Post's motion to intervene on June 10, 2009 (Supp.A.-1 at 1.)7 The trial court granted the Post's petition for access on June 25, 2009 (A-16, A-18) and on June 26, 2009 denied Epstein's motion for stay and directed the clerk to release the records at noon on Thursday, July 2, 2009. (A-17, A-19.) Epstein's emergency petition for writ of certiorari regarding the June 25, 2009 order and his emergency motion to review the June 26, 2009 order followed. 80380 (S.D.

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT Petitioner's initial filing of the NPA under seal was achieved without any regard for the public's constitutional, statutory and common law rights of access. Florida law flatly prohibits the standardless permanent closure that was achieved in this case. The public has a right to know what transpires in its courtrooms generally and in particular has an interest in understanding how the resolution of this highly unusual prosecution occurred. Moreover, no present basis for closure exists. Petitioner has not shown — and cannot show — that continued closure is proper. Instead, he has made conclusory assertions and relied on red herrings in attempting to keep the public from understanding how government responded to his solicitation of children to perform sex acts. The trial court, having reviewed the records in camera, saw through Petitioner's flimsy arguments. The trial court did not depart from the essential requirements of law in ordering the records unsealed. 7 EFTA00233619
ARGUMENT I. STANDARD OF REVIEW. The standard of review for a petition for writ of certiorari is whether the trial court departed from the essential requirements of law. See Combs State, 436 So. 2d 93, 95 (Fla. 1983); Anderson E.T., 862 So. 2d 839, 840 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003). II. THE TRIAL COURT CORRECTLY UNSEALED THE NPA. The NPA was neither properly sealed in the first instance nor is properly sealed at present. The trial court did not depart from the essential requirements of law in unsealing the records. A. The NPA was not Properly Sealed in the First Instance. The NPA — a significant inducement to Petitioner's acceptance of the plea — was accepted for filing under seal without any deference to the public's right of access to court records. Such standardless closure cannot withstand scrutiny. Florida has traditionally served as a model for open government and courts. It is well-settled in Florida that "[a] trial is a public event [and] [w]hat transpires in the court room is public property." Miami Herald Publ'g Co. I. Lewis, 426 So. 2d 1, 7 (Fla. 1982) (quoting Craig'. Harney, 331 U.S. 367, 376 (1947)). When considering a request to seal judicial records, this Court's "analysis must begin 8 EFTA00233620
with the proposition that all civil and criminal court proceedings are public events, records of court proceedings are public records and there is a strong presumption in favor of public access to such matters." Sentinel Communications Col. Watson, 615 So. 2d 768, 770 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). Indeed, the people of this State added Article I, Section 24 to the Declaration of Rights in the Florida Constitution to make clear that the right of access to the records of all three branches of government is of constitutional magnitude. All citizens possess the right to "inspect or copy" such records. Plea agreements and related documents typically are public record. See Oregonian Publishing Co... United States District Court, 920 F.2d 1462, 1465 (9th Cir. 1990) ("plea agreements have typically been open to the public"); United States . Kooistra, 796 F.3d 1390, 1390-91 (11th Cir. 1986) (documents relating to defendant's change of plea and sentencing could be sealed only upon finding of a compelling interest that justified denial of public access). Florida law likewise recognizes a strong public right of access to documents a court considers in connection with sentencing. See Sarasota Herald Tribune, Div. of the New York Times Co. I. Holtzendorf, 507 So. 2d 667, 668 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987) ("While a judge may impose whatever legal sentence he chooses, if such sentence is based on a tangible proceeding or document, it is within the public domain unless otherwise 9 EFTA00233621
privileged."). Under Florida law, closure of judicial records is warranted only under very limited circumstances. In particular, the party seeking closure must demonstrate that: 1. restricting public access is necessary to prevent a serious and imminent threat to the administration of justice; 2. no alternatives, other than a change of venue, would protect the defendant's right to a fair trial; and 3. closure would be effective in protecting the rights of the accused, without being broader than necessary to accomplish this purpose. Miami Herald Publ'g Co. Lewis, 426 So. 2d 1, 6 (Fla. 1982). This test, as well as the standard announced in Barron I. Florida Freedom Newspapers, Inc., 531 So. 2d 113 (Fla. 1988), was essentially codified in former Rule of Judicial Administration 2.051, now 2.420, which was applicable in both criminal and civil cases. Sarasota-Herald Tribune, 924 So. 2d at 11. In April 2007, the Florida Supreme Court adopted emergency amendments to Rule 2.420 in response to Florida media reports of hidden cases and secret dockets, a process that has come to be known as "super-sealing." In re Amendments to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420, 954 So. 2d 16 (Fla. 2007). In adopting the interim rule, the Florida Supreme Court confirmed its commitment to safeguarding the public's constitutional right of access to court 10 EFTA00233622
records, which the Court held "must remain inviolate." Id. at 17. By its terms, Rule 2.420 does not apply to criminal cases; however, later this year the Supreme Court will consider amendments to the rule that essentially seek to apply the standards applicable in civil cases to criminal ones. See In re Amendments to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420, Case No. 07-2050 (Fla. 2007). In the circuit below, however, the new Rule 2.420 procedures have been in effect since September 29, 2008. (Supp.A.-2.) In addition, the sealing of the NPA violated principles of Florida law established long before the amendments to Rule 2.420. Consequently, the unsealing of these documents was proper. 1. Closure of the Non-Prosecution Agreement Improperly Occurred without a Motion, Notice, Hearing, or a Proper Order. The non-prosecution agreement was sealed pursuant to an agreed order dated July 2, 2008 (A-9.) At the time, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Administrative Order 2.032 applied to requests for closure of court records in the lower court. (Supp.A.-3.) The order requires a motion, notice, and a hearing, none of which occurred in this case. (Id. at Till — 3.) The order further provides that closure is proper only upon showing that the factors set forth in Lewis have been met (IL 4) and that "[t]he reasons supporting sealing the file must be stated with specificity in the order sealing the court record" (Id. at 115), neither of which occurred in this 11 EFTA00233623
case. Contrary to Petitioner's assertion (Petition at 13) neither this rule, nor the common law of Florida, nor the Florida constitution contemplates sua sponte closure of court records upon simple request of the Court or any party. Nor was the closure, in fact, sua sponte, as Epstein himself requested closure (A-7 at p. 40, 11. 7-9.) and admittedly filed the NPA in the court file under seal pursuant to an agreed order (A-18 at p. 11,11. 22-23). The agreed order (A-9) contains none of the findings required by Lewis or paragraph 5 of the Administrative Order. The closure order is invalid and was properly vacated. 2. Closure of the Addendum Improperly Occurred without any Procedures to Protect the Right of Access at all. With respect to the sealing of the addendum to the non-prosecution agreement, no procedures were put in place at all. The original non-prosecution agreement was attached to the July 2, 2008 agreed order, which allowed to be filed under seal the "attached document" only. (A-9.) It appears from the record that the addendum — which was not attached to the July 2, 2008 order but was filed six weeks later — was simply filed and accepted under seal without any order allowing for closure. Closure of the addendum was thus improper on that basis as well. The trial court properly unsealed these documents. 12 EFTA00233624
B. No Basis Exists for Current Closure of the Non-prosecution Agreement or Its Addendum. After the Post intervened, at a June 10, 2009 hearing on the issue of closure, the trial court asked Epstein's counsel about the Post's motion (A-11) specifically. Epstein's counsel replied: If the Post's position is the public has a right to acc — access this then there is a procedure in place and ultimately the Court has to conduct a hearing and do a balancing test where you look at whether there is some compelling government interest and that's going to require an evidentiary hearing. So I have no great objection to filing the Request for Closure and then having a hearing in front of the Court. (Supp.A.-1 at p. 3,1. 22— p. 4,1. 5.) Importantly, Petitioner's counsel did not assert that he had complied with these requirements, but that he would. The Court reset the hearing for June 25, 2009. Petitioner filed a Motion to Make Court Records Confidential (A-13) on June 11, 2009. In it, Epstein cited four reasons the NPA should remain under seal: 1. to prevent a serious and imminent threat to the administration of justices; 2. to protect a compelling government interest; 3. to avoid substantial injury to innocent 8 This assertion apparently has been abandoned by Petitioner, because his petition asserts that he has asserted three bases for confidentiality, and does not include this basis. Accordingly, it will not be addressed, except to make note of the fact that Epstein has not at any point in this proceeding identified a threat to the administration of justice, much less a serious and imminent threat. 13 EFTA00233625
third parties; and 4. to avoid substantial injury to a party by disclosure of matters protected by a common law and privacy right, not generally inherent in these specific type of proceedings sought to be closed. (A-13 at115.) The motion failed to explain how these interests were implicated, failed to address alternatives to closure, and failed to explain how closure would protect the interests. (A-13.) The lower court heard argument on June 25, 2009. The United States Attorneys' Office was provided notice of the hearing, but chose not to appear. (A- 18 at p. 7, II. 10-14.) In fact, the U.S. Attorney's Office has taken no position on this matter throughout the lower court proceedings and specifically informed counsel for E.W. that it had no position (A-18 at p. 7,11. 10-14.) At that hearing, the Court found that the proper procedures to initially seal the records were not followed and then heard argument from Epstein's counsel on his June 11, 2009 motion (A-13). Epstein's counsel consented to that procedure. (A-18 at p. 9,11. 16 -18.) The Judge held that neither the State, nor the U.S. Government, nor Epstein had shown why the NPA ought to remain confidential and ordered the records unsealed.9 (A-16.) 9 It is important to note that the State Attorney's Office appeared at the hearing for the limited purpose of objecting to the release of minor victim's names, which turned out to be a non-issue because the Court, having reviewed the documents in camera, determined that no victim's names were included in the documents (A-19 at p. 21,11. 14-19.) The federal government, as mentioned above, took no position (Footnote continued on next page) 14 EFTA00233626
The trial court did not depart from the essential requirements of law in unsealing the NPA. Administrative Order of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit 2.303 applies to Petitioner's June 11, 2009 request to seal the records in this case. (Supp.A.-2.) That administrative order — consistent with Lewis and its progeny — applies Rule 2.420's standards to requests for closure of records in criminal proceedings in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. Any order authorizing closure must contain findings that one of the interests set forth in Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420(c)(9)(A) is met and that closure is no broader than necessary to protect that interest. (Supp.A.-2 at ¶ 4.); see also Lewis, 426 So. 2d at 3. Motions seeking closure must include a "signed certification by the party making the request that the motion is being made in good faith and is supported by a sound factual and legal basis." (Supp.A.-2 at11 1.) Epstein's initial oral request for closure failed to comply with the requirements of then-applicable law, and he has never presented a sound factual or legal basis for present closure. Consequently, unsealing the documents was fully consistent with the essential requirements of law. and did not appear at any of the hearings on this matter. Nor has either agency appealed the lower court's decision. 15 EFTA00233627
1. Petitioner Cannot Identify a Rule 2.420(c)(9) Interest that Warrants Closure. Though Epstein's belated written motion identified four interests set forth in Rule 2.420(c)(9) that purportedly warrant closure, he failed to explain — either in his motion or at the hearing — how any of them applied. Instead, Petitioner asserted closure was proper because these broad interests would be served by closure, principles of comity require closure, and because the records contain information protected from disclosure by Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6. Even though Petitioner now attempts to craft his arguments around the interests set forth in Rule 2.420(c)(9), the trial court cannot be said to have departed from the essential requirements of the law in holding that Epstein's burden had not been met. Epstein's petition asserts that closure is necessary to protect a compelling government interest because, he claims, the U.S. Attorneys' Office — who has been notified of these proceedings and has taken no position whatsoever — has a compelling interest in having the confidentiality provision of its contract with Mr. Epstein honored. See Petition at 15. Assuming such a provision exists (the Post has not seen the document), Petitioner is in no position to assert a compelling interest on the government's behalf, given its decision to take no position on the matter. If such an interest exists, the U.S. government is the party to assert it, and 16 EFTA00233628
