JANE DOE II Plaintiff, vs. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, and Defendants. ) CASE NO.: 09-80469-CIV-MARRA

## PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL'S RESPONSE TO COURT'S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiffs counsel responds to the Court's Order to Show Cause, and states:

- 1. Plaintiffs counsel apologizes to the Court for a failure to finalize a Joint Scheduling Conference Report and Order and to file same with the Court in accordance with the Court's Order.
- 2. The parties did exchange a number of drafts of the Joint Scheduling Report and proposed Order but despite efforts to finalize it did not do so. There was some delay in effecting service on Defendant who is believed to have been avoiding service, and this accounts for part of the delay in filing the Report and Proposed Order, although it certainly does not excuse it.
- 3. The parties have been involved in settlement discussions for some time, and reached a resolution of the claims in this and the State court companion case this week, and all claims have been resolved. Defendant has filed a Joint Stipulation and proposed Order indicating the resolution of this case.

Respectfully submitted,
