EFTA00175480 FIREagev1 RB0 D.C. ELECTRONIC July 21, 2008 # UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA STEVEN M. LARIMORE CLERK U.S. DIST. CT. S.O. OF FLA. - MIAMI CASE NO.: C. M.A., 08-80811-Civ-ZLOCH/SNOW Plaintiff, VS. JEFFREY EPSTEIN and Defendants. ## NOTICE OF REMOVAL In accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§1441, 1446, and 1332(a)(1), the defendants, Jeffrey Epstein and hereby remove this action$^1$ 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 1 v. Epstein et al., Case No. 50 2008 CA 005240 XXXX MB (Fla. 15th Cir. Ct. filed Feb. 21, 2008). Lewis Tein P. MKWN D M W 1 of 40 3059 GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 340, COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA 33133 EFTA00175481 Case 9:08-cv-80, 1-KAM Entered on... LSD Docket 07//2008 Page 2 of 40 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. 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. Ill. 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. ¶ 1.) 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). 2 Lewis Tein PL.

LSD Docket 07/4./2008 Page 3 of 40 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. 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. 1 ¶ 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*. Arkoma Assocs., 494 U.S. 185, 187 (1990) (“Since its enactment, we have interpreted the diversity statute to require ‘complete diversity’ of citizenship.” (*citing Strawbridge Curtiss*, 7 U.S. (3 Cranch) 267, 267–68 (1806))); see also MacGinnitie Hobbs Group, LLC, 420 F.3d 1234, 1239 (11th Cir. 2005) (stating that “[c]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.) 3 See Jane Doe No. 2 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80119-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed Feb. 6, 2008); Jane Doe No. 3 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80232-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed Mar. 5, 2008); Jane Doe No. 4 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CV-80380-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed Apr. 14, 2008); Jane Doe No. 5 v. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-80381-CV-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed Apr. 14, 2008). 3 Lewis Tein pl.

(Epstein Aff. Ex. A.) $ ^{4} $ (c) Contrary to the allegations in the Complaint, Defendant is a citizen of New York, not Florida. ( Stmt. Ex. B.) ## 4. This Notice satisfies the procedural requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1446. First, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b), 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-Orl-31KRS, 2008 WL 1744794, at *3 (M.D. Fla. Apr. 11, 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 Notice of Removal on July 21, 2008. Third, in accordance with section 1446(b), all of the defendants join this Petition and consent to removal. 4 District courts may consider affidavits and other evidence to support removal jurisdiction. See Sierminski . Transouth Fin. Corp., 216 F.3d 945, 949 (11th Cir. 2000). 4 Lewis Tein PL.

The State Court docket has been filed. All papers filed in the State Court are attached to this Removal Petition. ## Conclusion Because this is a civil action between citizens of different states, excluding any fraudulently joined parties, and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, exclusive of interests and costs, this Court has original jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1). WHEREFORE, the defendants, Jeffrey Epstein and , remove this case from Palm Beach Circuit Court to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
