Summary
This document is a page from a legal filing (dated Nov 2, 2023) responding to objections regarding a class action settlement related to Jeffrey Epstein. It addresses allegations made by Ms. Ransome (and a redacted individual) that Class Counsel had undisclosed conflicts of interest and relationships with Epstein's associates. The filing argues these claims are meritless and asserts the settlement was reached through good faith negotiations.
