MOTION OF DEFENDANT JEFFREY ESPTEIN TO QUASH SERVICE OF PROCESS
AND SUPPORTING MEMORANDUM OF LAW
Defendant Jeffrey Epstein, by and through undersigned counsel, respectfully moves pursuant
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(S) to quash service of process, and without waiving any available
jurisdictional defenses and without making a general appearance, states as follows:
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

Epstein's vacation house at 9 East 71 st Street, New York, New York, at an unknown time between
