RENEWED MOTION OF DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN 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)(5) to quash service of process, and without waiving any available
jurisdictional defenses and without making a general appearance, states as follows.
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
Plaintiff, M.J., attempted to effect service on Mr. Epstein by leaving a copy of the Summons
and Complaint in an unmarked, unaddressed and unpostmarked envelope in a mailbox at Mr.
Epsteins’ vacation house at 9 East 71st Street, New York, New York, at an unknown time between
October 8, 2010 and October 13, 2010, and by purportedly leaving a summons with “Mark” at Mr.
Epstein’s alleged “residence or usual place of abode.” Such purported “service” does not comply
with the requirements of service of process under New York, Florida or federal law. The attempt
at service of process was ineffective. Service of process should be quashed.
