W. CHESTER BREWER, JR., P.A. ATTORNEY AT LAW SUITE 1400 250 AUSTRALIAN AVENUE SOUTH WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 334014016 TELEPAHe July 2, 2014 John It Beranek, Esquire AUSLEY & MCMULLEN, P.A. Post Office Box 391 Tallahassee, FL 32302 Su& Re: Epstein v. Edwards Dear John: Mr. Epstein has agreed to your engagement on the terms set forth in your recent communication. I will ask that a $5,000 retainer be forwarded to you under separate cover. Enclosed please find a copy of Edwards' Notice of Appeal and Limited Directions to Clerk filed by Phil Burlington. I have reviewed the Limited Directions and compared it to the docket sheet. Curiously they did not include docket entry #790 which is a Motion for Reconsideration filed by Edwards following the verbal granting of the Motion for Summary Judgment. They also have not included docket entry #798 which is Burlington's appellate brief filed in the First DCA. There is one docket entry that must be included in the record on appeal. This is docket entry #791 which was a Notice of Filing a copy of the transcript of the hearing on our Motion for Summary Judgment. Upon review, you may find that additional items should be included in the record on appeal. Mr. Epstein is still contemplating filing an amicus in Steinberg v. Steinberg. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Very truly yours, W. Chester Brewer, Jf. WCB/cg Enclosure cc: Jeffrey Epstein Darren Indyke, Esquire Jack A.
