ORDER¶
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Defendant Jeffrey Epstein's Motion to Strike C.M.A.'s Conditional Notice of Intent to Exclusively Rely on Statutory Damages Provided by 18 U.S.C. § 2255, filed July 21, 2009. (DE 216). Plaintiff C.M.A. filed a response to the motion on August 7, 2009. (DE 256). No reply was filed and the deadline to file a response has passed. The Court has reviewed the motion, response, the Notice of Intent (DE 113 in 08-80811), and is otherwise fully advised in the premises.¶
Defendant seeks an order striking C.M.A.'s Conditional Notice of Intent to Exclusively Rely on Statutory Damages Provided by 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (DE 113 in 08-80811) ("Notice of Intent"), filed June 5, 2009. Upon careful review, Defendant's Motion to Strike is GRANTED. The document has no legal meaning and only serves to add confusion to the ongoing discovery¶
issues in C.M.A.'s case. The Court will rule on the issue of damages at an appropriate time.¶
Accordingly, it is hereby¶
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: Defendant's Motion to Strike C.M.A.'s Conditional Notice of Intent to Exclusively Rely on Statutory Damages Provided by 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (DE 216) is GRANTED. C.M.A.'s Notice of Intent (DE 113 in 08-80811) is hereby STRICKEN from the record. This Order is without prejudice to Plaintiff pursuing her arguments regarding the amount of damages to which she may be entitled.¶
DONE AND ORDERED in at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida, this 19th day of August, 2009¶
