STATE OF FLORIDA,¶
Respondent.¶
| AGREED MOTION TO FILE ONE REPLY SUPPORTING PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI AND FOR THE TIME TO RUN FROM SERVICE OF THE LAST-FILED RESPONSE |
Petitioner, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, requests this Court’s permission to file one reply supporting his petition for certiorari to the three separate responses filed by respondents and for the time to run from service of the last-filed response, for the following reasons:¶
- Mr. Epstein filed an Emergency Petition for Certiorari to review an order compelling disclosure of a confidential federal non-prosecution agreement and addendum.

-
On July 1, 2009, this Court ordered respondent to show cause within 10 days why the petition should not be granted. This Court allowed Mr. Epstein 10 days to reply.
-
Three groups of respondents filed responses: (1) .; (2) .; and (3) Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc. d/b/a Palm Beach Post (“the Post”). Each respondent is represented by different counsel. The responses were served by mail and on different days.
-
Due to the overlap of arguments in the three responses, it would benefit the parties and this Court if Mr. Epstein filed one reply to the three responses.
Accordingly, Mr. Epstein requests permission to file one reply to the three responses. Mr. Epstein requests this Court to order that the reply is due 10 days from service of the last-filed response.¶
Opposing counsel has contacted counsel for respondents (William J. Berger for ; Diana L. Martin for ; and Deanna K. Shullman for the Post), who have all advised they have no objection to this motion.¶
