This document is a Court Order from August 2008 in the civil case Jane Doe No. 2 v. Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Kenneth Marra denied Epstein's motion to stay (pause) the civil lawsuit. Epstein had argued that the case should be paused because of a 'pending' criminal action (referencing ongoing grand jury subpoenas and his deferred prosecution agreement), but the judge ruled that an investigation or deferred prosecution does not meet the legal definition of a 'pending criminal action' under 18 U.S.C. § 3509(k).
