Summary
This document is a legal filing dated December 10, 2015, in which Jeffrey Epstein's attorney, Paul Morris, files a 'Notice to Invoke Discretionary Jurisdiction' with the Supreme Court of Florida. Epstein is appealing a decision made on November 12, 2015, by the District Court of Appeal (Fourth District) in the case of 'Bradley J. Edwards v. Jeffrey Epstein'. The attached opinion reveals that the lower court reversed a summary judgment that had favored Epstein, ruling that 'litigation privilege' does not bar Edwards' claim of malicious prosecution against Epstein.
