This document is a legal response filed on November 28, 2009, by Plaintiff Carolyn M. Andriano (Jane Doe No. 2) in her civil case against Jeffrey Epstein. The filing opposes a motion by third-party witness Igor Zinoview—Epstein's driver, bodyguard, and trainer since November 2005—who sought to avoid being deposed by claiming he had no knowledge of relevant facts. The Plaintiff argues that Zinoview must be deposed because he worked for Epstein during the active Palm Beach Police investigation (2005-2006) and likely possesses knowledge regarding activities at the Epstein residence, especially since Epstein himself invoked the Fifth Amendment.

"Mr. Zinoview has been employed by Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, as his 'driver, bodyguard, and trainer' since November of 2005."Source
"Mr. Zinoview certainly might have direct knowledge about what was going on in and around the Epstein residence during the time period in which he was employed by Defendant Epstein"Source
"Given the Defendant’s voracious invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege, the plaintiffs have consistently been denied the opportunity to seek any relevant information directly from Defendant Epstein himself."Source
"Mr. Zinoview’s opinions and beliefs about the factual matters surrounding plaintiffs’ claims are relevant to exploring any potential bias and prejudice in favor of his employer"Source
