This document is a court filing dated April 28, 2020, submitted by attorneys for the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein to Judge Paul Gardephe in the Teresa Helm case. It encloses a newly issued Opinion & Order by Judge Paul Engelmayer in a separate case (Mary Doe v. Indyke et al.), which grants the Estate's motion to dismiss claims for punitive damages. The court ruled that under New York law (EPTL § 11-3.2(a)(1)) and likely US Virgin Islands common law, punitive damages cannot be recovered from the estate of a deceased tortfeasor because they serve a penal rather than remedial purpose.

Legal correspondence from Boies Schiller Flexner LLP to Judge Gardephe regarding the case Helm v. Indyke et al. The letter argues against the Defendants' anticipated motion to dismiss, asserting that Plaintiff Teresa Helm's claims are timely under NY CPLR § 215(8)(a) due to the recent termination of Epstein's criminal case (August 2019) and the doctrine of equitable estoppel based on Epstein's intimidation and manipulation tactics. The letter also argues that challenges to punitive damages are premature at this stage of litigation.
Attorneys for the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein request a pre-motion conference to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Teresa Helm. The defense argues that Helm's claims of assault from 2002 are barred by the statute of limitations and that exceptions based on Epstein's criminal indictment do not apply because Helm was an adult (22) at the time, while the indictment focused on minors. Additionally, the defense argues that punitive damages cannot be legally awarded against a deceased person's estate under New York law.
This document is a court order from the Southern District of New York in the civil case of Teresa Helm v. Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn (executors of Jeffrey Epstein's estate).

This document contains an email thread and a Notice of Electronic Filing from June 2024 regarding the case Radar Online LLC v. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The case was subsequently closed.
This document is a letter from attorney Scott A. Srebnick to Judge Paul G. Gardephe regarding the prison conditions of Michael Avenatti at MCC-New York. The letter details Avenatti's placement in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) on the 10-South floor (formerly El Chapo's cell), citing extreme cold, isolation, and lack of resources as impediments to trial preparation. The defense requests Avenatti be moved to the general population and granted standard access to legal materials and communication. The text alludes to 'recent issues at the institution,' likely a reference to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide at the same facility months prior.
