Summary
This is page 6 of a legal motion in the case Edwards adv. Epstein. The text argues that Epstein's claims against attorney Bradley J. Edwards were frivolous because Epstein used the Fifth Amendment to avoid discovery ('sword and shield' doctrine) and because Edwards' conduct was protected by litigation privilege. It notes that Epstein voluntarily dismissed his claims right before a summary judgment hearing.
