I MR LINK& ROCKENBACH, PA CIVIL TRIAL & APPELLATE LAW 1555 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., Suite 301 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 TEL March 9, 2018 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL James N. Hurley Fowler White Burnett Brickell Arch, 14th Floor 1395 Brickell Avenue Miami, FL 33131 jhurley®fowler-white.com RE: Jeffrey Epstein v. Scott Rothstein and Bradley J. Edwards 15th Judicial Circuit Case No. 50-2009CA040800XXXXMBAG Dear Jim: Yesterday, the Court ruled to exclude critical evidence on a disc containing 27,500 pages of e- mails that Bradley Edwards has alleged were "stolen" in violation of Judge Ray's order. As you know, we obtained that disc from Fowler White's case files. Because these documents were in Fowler White's possession for many years, Judge Hafele has excluded us from using them at trial next week. The documents that we located on the disc demonstrate with clarity that Mr. Edwards' claims against Mr. Epstein have no merit. Without being able to use these exhibits, our defense is severely prejudiced. We are considering a Motion for Reconsideration but need Fowler White to take the lead on demonstrating how it obtained the disc, why it had the disc, if it reviewed the emails on the disc, etc. Please let me know as soon as possible if through the review of Fowler White's billing records, you are able to reconstruct and identify how the disc was received, if the emails on the disc were reviewed by anyone and if so, by whom. The Court directed us to retain Fowler White's original boxes until this matter is resolved. You are more than welcome, however, to review them at our offices if you need to reconstruct what happened. For your reference, I am attaching the transcript of the morning session of yesterday's hearing. Also attached is a copy of Judge Ray's Order. The nilings relating to the disc and our retention were made during the afternoon session and we are currently waiting for that portion to be transcribed. We will provide it to you upon our receipt. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Sincerely, Scott J. Link SJL/tic Enclosure EFTA00793919
