This document is an appeal by Defendant Jeffrey Epstein against a Magistrate's Order compelling him to produce discovery materials, including correspondence with prosecutors, tax returns, and passport/travel records. Epstein argues that producing these documents violates his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination because he still faces a real threat of federal prosecution outside the Southern District of Florida, despite his Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). The filing also details privacy concerns for third parties (alleged victims), claims attorney work-product privilege over files selected by his defense counsel, and argues that his offer to stipulate to a high net worth renders the production of his tax returns unnecessary.

LETTER.pdf

This document is a legal filing dated December 10, 2015, in which Jeffrey Epstein's attorney, Paul Morris, files a 'Notice to Invoke Discretionary Jurisdiction' with the Supreme Court of Florida. Epstein is appealing a decision made on November 12, 2015, by the District Court of Appeal (Fourth District) in the case of 'Bradley J. Edwards v. Jeffrey Epstein'. The attached opinion reveals that the lower court reversed a summary judgment that had favored Epstein, ruling that 'litigation privilege' does not bar Edwards' claim of malicious prosecution against Epstein.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022176.jpg

This document is an excerpt from the book 'Filthy Rich' detailing a complex legal battle where Jeffrey Epstein sued attorney Bradley Edwards and Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. Epstein alleged that Rothstein used litigation against him as 'bait' to lure investors into a Ponzi scheme, while also attempting to discredit a victim (L.M.) by claiming she was a prostitute who changed her story after hiring Edwards. Edwards responded with a motion for summary judgment, arguing Epstein's claims were frivolous and noting that Epstein pleaded the Fifth Amendment dozens of times during depositions.
