Re; State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein¶
Dear Judge Colbath:¶
On behalf of Mr. Epstein, we strongly object to the proposed order submitted by Deanna Shullman on behalf of the Palm Beach Post. The court has already entered an order dated June 25, 2009 on:¶
a) Non-party, E.W.’s Motion to Vacate Order Sealing Records and Unseal Records¶
b) Palm Beach Post’s Motions to Intervene and petition for Access¶
c) B.B’s Motions to Intervene and for an order to Unseal Records¶
d) Jeffrey Epstein’s Motion to Make Court Records Confidential.¶
The only matter before the court today was Defendant Epstein’s Motion for a Stay which the court denied. Contrary to the assertions in the proposed order submitted to you by the Palm Beach Post, the court made a specific finding that the Defendant Epstein has met his burden of irreparable harm. Additionally, all of the other matters contained in the proposed order were addressed in the court’s Order of June 25, 2009.¶
It is the position of Defendant Epstein that the order on today’s Motion to Stay should simply state that the Defendant’s Motion to Stay is denied. In this way, the court’s order of June 25, 2009 on the merits of the issue and the order of the court¶
