Defendants. 
ORDER 
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Preserve Evidence and 
Expedite Certain Discovery (DE 22), filed September 6, 2008. Plaintiff represents that 
Defendants have not agreed to the relief requested in this motion on the basis that Defendants 
believe the motion is moot because of another order recently entered by the Court in Doe 11 
Epstein, NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA. The Court has carefully considered the motion and is 
otherwise fully advised in the premises. 
It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff's Motion (DE 22) is GRANTED IN 
PART. Defendants are directed to provide duplicates of all evidence subject to this Court's 
protective order in Doe 1 Epstein, No. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA (Sept. 5, 2008) to Plaintiff 
should said evidence be returned to Defendants by the State of Florida. Plaintiff's Motion is 
DENIED IN PART AS MOOT as to the request to preserve evidence since the evidence in

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO PRESERVE EVIDENCE

WITH INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM 
Plaintiff 
moves, pursuant to Rules 26 and 34 to Preserve Evidence 
and Expedite the Discovery of this Evidence and states: 
1. Defendants removed this action to federal court. 
2. This case was recently reassigned to this division by the Honorable 
William Zloch. 
3. This is one of several cases pending in this division which alleges sexual 
abuse of a female minor by the defendant JEFFREY EPSTEIN. 
4. It has come to the attention of the undersigned that Defendant JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN filed a Motion with the Florida State Court to return the evidence seized 
at his home in conjunction with his criminal prosecution. With respect to the 
details of EPSTEIN's motion, Plaintiff respectfully requests this court to take

NO. 1 v. JEFFREY EPSTEIN et al. Case NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRADOMISON 
5. This evidence is relevant and critical to the prosecution of not only the 
instant claim, but for other suits filed against Defendant EPSTEIN, including but 
not limited to the Florida RICO claims filed in State Court. 
6. As stated in the certificate, the undersigned has conferred with counsel 
for EPSTEIN. They take the position that this motion would be moot because of an 
order recently entered in JANE DOE, a/k/a. JANE DOE NO. 1 v. JEFFREY 
EPSTEIN et al. Case NO. 08-80804-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON. However, 
respectfully believes that an enforceable order is needed in this particular 
case. In addition, she requests a more detailed order which includes all of the 
numerous law firms representing the defendants EPSTEIN and 
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully request the Court grant her Motion to 
Preserve of all the seized Evidence identified in the Palm Beach Police Department

MEMORANDUM OF LAW 
Pursuant to Rules 26, 30 and 34, of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 
this court has the authority to modify the normal time limitations under the Rules. 
See AT&T Mobility LLC v. Dynamic Cellular Corp., 2008 WL 2139518 (S.D. Fla. 
2008); see also Tradone Wireless, Inc. v.King Trading, Inc., 2008 WL 918243 
(N.D. Tex. 2008). Additionally, when there is a good faith belief that evidence may 
be lost the Court has the authority to enter an Order preserving such evidence. Id. 
at 1. An injunction is not required nor are the elements of an injunction necessary 
before entering an Order preserving such evidence. Id. at 2. 
Given that Defendant EPSTEIN has plead guilty and is currently serving a 
year in jail based on the charges which form the foundation Plaintiffs (and many 
other Plaintiffs') claims, it is reasonable to assume the State's seized evidence is 
extremely harmful to Defendant EPSTEIN. 
As a result, without a Protective Order Defendant EPSTEIN has no reason to 
keep or maintain this negative evidence; Plaintiff has put Defendant EPSTEIN on 
notice that this evidence is relevant to the instant action and any destruction could 
potentially constitute spoliation. If this evidence were destroyed Plaintiff would be 
severely prejudiced.

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441, 1446, and 1332(aX1), the defendants, 
Jeffrey Epstein and 
hereby remove this action' from Palm Beach 
County Circuit Court to the United States District Court for the Southern District 
of Florida, and respectfully state as follows: 
1. 
This case is within the original jurisdiction of this Court. 
This case is properly removable because it falls within the original 
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. 
See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1) (establishing that federal district courts have original 
v. Epstein et at, Case No. 50 2008 CA 005240 XXXX MB (Fla. 15th Cir. Ct.

jurisdiction over cases where the amount "in controversy [is more than $75,000] . . 
. and [when the controversy] is between citizens of different states"). 
2. 
The amount in controversy in this action exceeds $75,000. 
The Complaint contains a generic prayer for relief.2 It is clear, however, that 
the plaintiff seeks more than $75,000 in damages. This case seeks damages in 
connection with alleged sexual misconduct. (Compl. ¶¶ 6-7,) 
The Complaint 
alleges that 
has "suffered mental anguish, mental pain and suffering, 
psychic trauma, and a loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life." (Compl. ¶ 9.) 
These are serious allegations. Cf., e.g., Woods v. Southwest Airlines, Co., 523 F. 
Supp, 2d 812, 820 (N.D. III. 2007) (determining, in the context of diversity 
jurisdiction, that the $75,000 threshold had been satisfied, and "clearly 
[surpassed]," based on "the nature of the injuries alleged" in the complaint); see 
also Williams v. Best Buy Co., Inc., 269 F.3d 1316, 1319 (11th Cir. 2001) ("When 
[a] complaint does not claim a specific amount of damages, removal from state 
court is proper if it is facially apparent from the complaint that the amount in 
controversy exceeds the jurisdictional requirement."). 
2 The Complaint seeks damages for "[more than] . . . $15,000." (Compl. ¶ I.) This 
boilerplate is routinely used in Florida pleading practice to trigger application of section 
26.012, Florida Statutes, the statute that establishes the jurisdictional amount required for 
filing in Florida's Circuit Court (as opposed to County Court).

Further, the allegations by this plaintiff are virtually identical to allegations 
made in four separate civil actions, filed by four different plaintiffs, against Mr. 
Epstein in federal court.3 
In each of those actions, the plaintiffs are seeking 
damages in excess of $50 million - - well over the $75,000 amount-in-controversy 
requirement for diversity jurisdiction. See Jane Doe No. 2 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4; Jane Doe 
No. 3 at D.E. I ¶ 4; Jane Doe No. 4 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4; Jane Doe No. 5 at D.E. 1 ¶ 4. 
3. 
There is complete diversity. 
Diversity jurisdiction requires complete diversity. 
Carden r. Arlcoma 
Assocs., 494 U.S. 185, 187 (1990) ("Since its enactment, we have interpreted the 
diversity statute to require 'complete diversity' of citizenship." (citing Strawbridge 
I. Curtiss, 7 U.S. (3 Cranch) 267, 267-68 (1806))); see also MacGinnitie I. Hobbs 
Group, LLC, 420 F.3d 1234, 1239 (11th Cir. 2005) (stating that "[e]omplete 
diversity requires that no defendant in a diversity action be a citizen of the same 
state as any plaintiff"). As demonstrated below, this case satisfies the statutory 
requirement of complete diversity. 
(a) 
Plaintiff= 
is a citizen of Florida. (Compl. ¶ 2.)

While the Complaint suggests that Mr. Epstein might be a citizen of

This Notice satisfies the procedural requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 
1446. 
First, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1446(6), this Notice is timely. Only 
defendant Epstein has been served with process. Defendant 
has not yet 
been served. See Hill Dermaceuticals, Inc." RX Solutions, United Health Group, 
Inc., No, 6:08-cv-330-Or1-31KRS, 2008 WL 1744794, at *3 (M.D. Fla. Apr. I I, 
2008) (concluding that removal petition was timely where it was filed within 30 
days after the last defendant was served). 
Second, in accordance with section 1446(d), defendants have served this
