Summary

This legal document is a response filed by defendant Jeffrey Epstein's attorney to a 'Motion for Protective Order' submitted on behalf of a state's witness, Jane Doe No. 1. Epstein's counsel refutes the claim that serving a deposition subpoena constituted 'continuous and systematic harassment' and denies allegations of misconduct by any agent. The response also highlights a legal conflict between two attorneys, Theodore Leopold and Jeffrey Herman, who are both claiming to represent Jane Doe No. 1 in a separate civil case.
