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.
