Doe No. 1 v. Epstein, No. 9:08-cv-80804 (S.D. Fla. 2008)
Doe No. 1 v. Epstein was a survivor civil action arising from allegations that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused the plaintiff when she was fourteen years old. The plaintiff originally filed the action in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida. The defendants removed it to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, where it received docket number 9:08-cv-80804-KAM.
The defendants were Jeffrey Epstein, Haley Robson, and Sarah Kellen. The amended complaint asserted four Florida law claims. It alleged sexual assault against Epstein and alleged civil conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and a civil remedy for violations of Florida’s racketeering statute against all three defendants.
The federal phase lasted from July 18 through October 3, 2008. It ended when United States District Judge Kenneth A. Marra rejected the defendants’ fraudulent joinder argument and returned the case to Palm Beach County Circuit Court. The ruling was jurisdictional. It did not decide whether any defendant was liable, determine damages, or adjudicate the truth of every allegation in the complaint.
The public record shows that litigation continued in state court after remand. In a June 2010 filing from a different Epstein case, Epstein’s counsel represented that the claim associated with federal docket 9:08-cv-80804 had been resolved. That statement supports a cautious conclusion that the dispute ended through a private resolution, but the available record reviewed for this article does not disclose the settlement amount, the terms, the date of execution, or whether all defendants participated in the same agreement.

This docket should not be confused with the earlier action numbered 9:08-cv-80069, which involved the same plaintiff designation and was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. It also should not be confused with the separately numbered cases brought by Jane Does 2 through 8 or Jane Does 101 through 103.
Key Takeaways
- The plaintiff alleged that she was fourteen when Epstein sexually abused her after Robson recruited her for a paid massage and Kellen facilitated her entry into the massage room.
- Those descriptions were allegations. The federal court summarized them while deciding jurisdiction and did not make a final liability finding.
- The plaintiff first filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Epstein, Kellen, and Robson removed the case to federal court.
- The defendants argued that Robson, a Florida citizen, had been added only to defeat diversity jurisdiction. The plaintiff maintained that Robson was a proper defendant because the complaint stated viable Florida claims against her.
- Judge Marra ruled that the defendants did not meet the heavy burden required to prove fraudulent joinder. At minimum, the complaint presented a possible civil conspiracy claim against Robson under Florida law.
- Because both the plaintiff and Robson were treated as Florida citizens, complete diversity was absent. The federal court therefore lacked subject matter jurisdiction.
- The remand ruling did not establish that a conspiracy occurred. It decided only that the defendants had not shown there was no possibility of a valid state claim against Robson.
- The court separately rejected Epstein and Kellen’s attempt to stay the civil case based on an unfiled federal prosecution. Judge Marra held that a grand jury investigation and a deferred prosecution arrangement did not constitute a pending criminal action under 18 U.S.C. section 3509(k).
- The court denied the defendants’ request to seal the stay motion and ordered the filing unsealed, emphasizing the public right of access to judicial records.
- The federal court granted the plaintiff’s evidence preservation motion before remand, requiring Epstein to preserve listed materials and provide duplicates if the State of Florida returned the evidence to him.
- A filing in another Epstein action later described this case as resolved. No public settlement terms were found, so the resolution should not be assigned a dollar amount or characterized more specifically without additional primary evidence.
Survivor Reading Note
This case concerns alleged sexual abuse of a child. The source filings include invasive descriptions of the alleged encounter, a lengthy deposition of the teenage plaintiff, questions about her personal life, and arguments challenging her credibility. This article uses only the level of detail necessary to explain the claims, jurisdictional dispute, evidence issues, and rulings.
The plaintiff proceeded under a pseudonym. Her identity should remain protected even if unredacted copies, copied metadata, or later internet commentary claim to identify her. Repeating a suspected identity would add no value to understanding the case and could compound harm.
The use of the label Jane Doe No. 1 is also potentially confusing. More than one Epstein case used numbered Doe designations, and the same survivor appears to have been associated with an earlier federal action. The safest way to identify this litigation is by its federal docket, 9:08-cv-80804, and its state docket, 50-2008-CA-006596.
Background and Relationship to the Palm Beach Investigation
The complaint arose from the Palm Beach investigation of Epstein. According to the allegations summarized in the federal remand order, Epstein used paid massages as a means of gaining access to economically vulnerable teenage girls. The complaint alleged that Robson recruited girls from Loxahatchee and surrounding areas and that Kellen received them at Epstein’s Palm Beach residence.
The plaintiff alleged that Robson recruited her to provide Epstein a massage for money when she was fourteen. She alleged that Robson brought her to Epstein’s residence and that Kellen prepared the massage room before leaving her alone with Epstein. The complaint then alleged unwanted sexual contact by Epstein. It further alleged that Epstein paid the plaintiff $300 and paid Robson $200 for bringing her to the residence.
These facts appear in Judge Marra’s October 3, 2008 remand order as a summary of the amended complaint. They were not factual findings after a trial. The distinction is central because the federal court was required to view the allegations favorably to the plaintiff when deciding whether any possible state claim existed against Robson.
The plaintiff had also participated in proceedings connected to State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein, Palm Beach County case 2006CF009454. The defendants attached deposition material from that criminal matter to their removal papers and relied on selected testimony to attack the civil allegations. Their characterizations were advocacy positions. The federal court did not resolve those credibility disputes before remanding the case.
The complaint must also be understood against the extraordinary procedural setting created by Epstein’s 2007 federal nonprosecution agreement and his 2008 state plea. The defense tried to use the continuing possibility of a federal prosecution as the basis for pausing the civil action. The district court rejected that position because no federal indictment or information had been filed.
The Plaintiff
The plaintiff was identified as Jane Doe and Jane Doe No. 1. The amended complaint stated that she was a Florida citizen and had been fourteen at the time of the alleged abuse in 2005. She brought the state action through her mother as parent and natural guardian while she was still a minor.
The federal removal papers referred to an earlier case, Jane Doe No. 1 v. Epstein, No. 9:08-cv-80069. According to the defendants’ filing, that earlier action had been initiated through the plaintiff’s father, and her mother later objected that it had been filed without her knowledge or consent. The earlier case was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. The plaintiff then changed counsel and pursued the state action that became docket 9:08-cv-80804 after removal.
This procedural history does not diminish the plaintiff’s claims. It does explain why the later action can look like a duplicate when records are sorted only by the Doe number. The earlier federal action and the removed action are separate docket events within the same survivor’s litigation history.
The plaintiff was represented in the federal phase by Theodore J. Leopold and Spencer T. Kuvin. The docket reflects a substitution from Ricci Leopold, P.A. to Leopold Kuvin, P.A. through Document 23.
The Defendants
Jeffrey Epstein was the defendant accused of the direct sexual tort. The complaint alleged that he orchestrated the system, received the plaintiff at his Palm Beach residence, committed unwanted sexual acts, and paid money following the encounter. Epstein denied liability and moved to dismiss three of the four counts while the case was in federal court.
Haley Robson was alleged to have recruited the plaintiff, transported her to Epstein’s residence, and received a recruitment payment. Robson’s Florida citizenship became decisive in the jurisdictional litigation. The defendants argued that she was fraudulently joined and had no real legal connection to the dispute. Judge Marra did not accept that argument.
Sarah Kellen was alleged to have received the plaintiff inside the residence, recorded personal information, led her to the massage room, and prepared the room. The removal record identified Kellen as a New York citizen at that time. Epstein and Kellen jointly pursued the request to stay the civil action based on the claimed existence of a pending federal criminal action.
The claims against Robson and Kellen were allegations in a civil complaint. The federal docket does not contain a merits judgment against either woman. The remand order found only that the defendants could not eliminate every possibility of a state law claim against Robson.
Claims in the Amended Complaint
The amended complaint contained four counts.
Count I asserted sexual assault against Epstein. It relied on alleged conduct involving a fourteen year old and referred to Chapter 800 of the Florida Statutes. Epstein later argued that Chapter 800 was criminal and did not itself create a private civil remedy. He also argued that the count did not satisfy the elements of common law assault. Those arguments appeared in Epstein’s September 4, 2008 motion to dismiss. The federal court did not decide them because the case was remanded.
Count II asserted civil conspiracy against all three defendants. The complaint alleged an agreement or coordinated system for recruiting minor girls, bringing them to Epstein’s home, and facilitating unlawful sexual conduct. This count became the key jurisdictional issue because the federal court concluded there was at least a possibility that Florida courts would recognize the claim against Robson.
Count III asserted intentional infliction of emotional distress against all three defendants. The complaint alleged that the conduct was intentional or reckless, outrageous, and causally connected to severe emotional injury. The federal remand order noted this claim but did not reach its merits.
Count IV sought a civil remedy based on alleged violations of Florida Statutes section 772.103. The complaint alleged a criminal enterprise or pattern involving prostitution related offenses. Epstein argued that the alleged injury was not directly caused by a qualifying racketeering predicate. That defense also remained undecided in federal court.
The plaintiff demanded damages and a jury trial. No public federal verdict or damages award exists because the federal court lacked jurisdiction and returned the matter to the state court.
Removal to Federal Court
The defendants filed their notice of removal on July 18, 2008. They relied primarily on diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. section 1332. Their filing asserted that the amount in controversy exceeded $75,000, that Epstein was a citizen of the United States Virgin Islands, and that Kellen was a citizen of New York.
The plaintiff and Robson were identified as Florida citizens. Ordinarily, that shared citizenship would destroy complete diversity. The defendants tried to avoid that result through the fraudulent joinder doctrine. They argued that Robson was a nominal defendant who had been added to keep the case in state court and that the complaint could not state a valid claim against her.
The notice also attacked the plaintiff’s allegations by relying on her prior deposition and by comparing the state complaint with the earlier federal case. Those assertions were part of the defendants’ removal theory. They did not become judicial findings.
The federal docket report classified the action as an other statutory action, listed a jury demand by the plaintiff, and identified Judge Kenneth A. Marra and Magistrate Judge Linnea R. Johnson. Although one docket field referred to federal question jurisdiction, the contested jurisdictional theory in the briefing and remand order centered on diversity and fraudulent joinder.
Attempt to Stay the Civil Case
Epstein and Kellen sought to stay the lawsuit under 18 U.S.C. section 3509(k). That provision requires a stay when a civil claim for injury to a child arises from the same occurrence as a pending criminal action in which the child is the victim.
The defense argued that a federal criminal action remained pending because a federal grand jury investigation had existed and because the United States Attorney’s Office retained the ability to prosecute Epstein if he breached the nonprosecution agreement. Their unsealed stay motion described grand jury subpoenas as outstanding and held in abeyance.
Judge Marra denied the motion in Document 7. He held that a criminal action required a judicial proceeding commenced through an indictment or information. A grand jury investigation could determine whether charges should be brought, but it was not itself a pending criminal action against Epstein within the meaning of section 3509(k).
The court also rejected the defense request for a discretionary stay. It concluded that an indefinite pause would be inappropriate when no federal charge was pending and when delay could prejudice the plaintiff’s ability to pursue her civil claims.
This ruling did not invalidate the nonprosecution agreement or determine that federal prosecutors could never charge Epstein. It addressed the narrower question of whether the agreement and suspended investigation triggered a mandatory or discretionary stay of this civil case.
Unsealing Ruling
Epstein and Kellen initially filed the stay materials under seal because the nonprosecution agreement contained a confidentiality provision. They argued that sealing was necessary to comply with that provision.
In Document 6, Judge Marra denied the sealing request. The order began with the principle that federal proceedings and court filings are public and that the press and public possess a common law right to inspect judicial records. That right can yield to competing interests, but the party seeking closure must provide a sufficient justification.
The court found that the United States Attorney’s objections did not outweigh the public interest and noted that much of the agreement’s substance had already been unsealed or made public. The clerk was ordered to unseal docket entries 4 and 5. The stay motion later appeared publicly as Document 18.
The ruling is significant because secrecy surrounding the nonprosecution agreement was already affecting survivor litigation. Public access allowed the agreement’s procedural role to be evaluated while Epstein was attempting to invoke it as a reason to halt a civil case.
Evidence Preservation Dispute
On August 21, 2008, the plaintiff filed a motion to preserve evidence and expedite discovery. The motion concerned material held by the State of Florida in connection with Epstein’s criminal case and items that could be returned to him.
The court ordered a prompt response. Epstein then stated that he did not oppose preservation, although the parties disputed whether counsel had adequately conferred before the motion was filed. His response is available as Document 14.
Judge Marra granted preservation relief in Document 20. The order directed Epstein to preserve the evidence identified in Exhibit 1 and to provide duplicates to the plaintiff if the State of Florida returned that evidence to him.
The order was protective and procedural. It did not rule that every listed item was admissible, authentic, or proof of the plaintiff’s claims. It ensured that potentially relevant evidence would not disappear while jurisdiction and merits issues remained pending.
Motion to Remand
The plaintiff filed her motion to remand on August 18, 2008. She argued that Robson was a proper Florida defendant and that complete diversity therefore did not exist.
The motion emphasized that the complaint alleged Robson played a direct role in recruiting the plaintiff under false pretenses and delivering her to Epstein’s residence. The plaintiff argued that those allegations supported possible claims for civil conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil racketeering relief.
Epstein and the other defendants opposed remand in Document 21. They argued that the claims against Robson were legally defective and that she had been joined to prevent removal. They also disputed the plaintiff’s citizenship and the sufficiency of the complaint.
The plaintiff replied in Document 22. She maintained that the defendants had not met the demanding fraudulent joinder standard and that factual and legal uncertainties had to be resolved in her favor at the jurisdictional stage.
The October 3, 2008 Remand Order
Judge Marra granted remand in Document 26. The court explained that a removing defendant carries a heavy burden when claiming fraudulent joinder. The question was not whether the plaintiff would ultimately win against Robson. It was whether there was any possibility that a Florida court could recognize at least one claim against her.
The court focused on civil conspiracy. Florida law required an agreement between two or more parties, an unlawful objective or unlawful means, an overt act, and resulting damage. The complaint alleged that Robson participated in a coordinated plan, used false pretenses to recruit the plaintiff, brought her to Epstein’s residence, and thereby facilitated the alleged underlying sexual tort.
Judge Marra recognized sexual battery as an intentional tort under Florida law and stated that a fourteen year old could not consent to the alleged sexual penetration. The court therefore could not say there was no possibility of a valid conspiracy claim against Robson.
Because the defendants failed to prove fraudulent joinder, Robson’s Florida citizenship counted. Complete diversity was absent, leaving the federal court without subject matter jurisdiction. The court remanded the action to Palm Beach County Circuit Court, denied all remaining federal motions without prejudice as moot, and closed the federal case.
The clerk transmitted the certified remand order through Document 27. The state court acknowledged receipt in Document 28.
What the Remand Order Established
The order established that the defendants had not carried their burden to show Robson was fraudulently joined. It established that the federal court lacked subject matter jurisdiction and that the case belonged in the Palm Beach County Circuit Court.
The order also recognized, for jurisdictional purposes, that the complaint alleged an actionable underlying intentional tort and a possible civil conspiracy claim. This was enough to defeat removal.
The order did not find Epstein, Robson, or Kellen liable. It did not award damages. It did not decide the intentional infliction or racketeering claims. It did not determine the admissibility or credibility of the plaintiff’s deposition. It did not approve a settlement.
This distinction prevents a common misstatement. Saying the plaintiff won remand is accurate. Saying the plaintiff won a liability judgment in federal court is not.
Proceedings After Remand
The federal clerk returned the case to Palm Beach County under state docket 50-2008-CA-006596. The available records show continued activity after October 2008.
A state court notice of deposition scheduled Epstein’s videotaped deposition for January 27, 2009 and included a request for documents. Another state record, EFTA02728972, reflects an order concerning the plaintiff’s request to file an amended complaint.
The surviving public fragments do not provide a complete chronological state docket. They demonstrate that remand did not end the litigation and that the parties continued addressing pleadings and discovery.
In June 2010, Epstein filed a motion seeking a settlement conference in a different case, Doe v. Epstein, No. 9:08-cv-80893. In that filing, his counsel represented that Epstein had resolved a group of pending lawsuits, expressly including another Jane Doe associated with case number 08-80804. The relevant page is preserved as EFTA00729979.
That representation is evidence of resolution, but it is not a public copy of the settlement agreement. The record reviewed here does not establish the amount, confidentiality terms, releases, admissions, payment source, or allocation among defendants. The article therefore describes the state case as apparently resolved by June 2010 without speculating about its terms.
Relationship to the Earlier Doe No. 1 Action
The defendants’ removal papers described docket 9:08-cv-80069 as the first federal action involving this plaintiff. That action was filed on January 24, 2008 and named Epstein. The defense stated that the plaintiff’s mother objected because the case had been initiated without her consent and that the action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on February 22, 2008.
The plaintiff later filed in state court through her mother and with different counsel. That state case eventually became federal docket 9:08-cv-80804 during the temporary removal period.
For index purposes, these dockets should remain separate but cross referenced. Docket 9:08-cv-80069 was the earlier dismissed action. Docket 9:08-cv-80804 was the removed and remanded action. The Palm Beach County docket is the state continuation of 9:08-cv-80804, not a third independent controversy.
Legal Significance
The case is important for three reasons.
First, it illustrates how jurisdictional procedure can shape survivor litigation. Removal shifted the case into federal court, generated disputes over sealing and a stay, and required the plaintiff to defend the inclusion of a resident defendant before the merits could proceed.
Second, the remand order rejected an attempt to use fraudulent joinder doctrine to disregard Robson’s alleged role. The court did not decide that Robson was liable, but it recognized that the allegations described more than a merely nominal connection.
Third, the stay ruling exposed a legal consequence of the nonprosecution agreement. Epstein’s lawyers argued that a suspended grand jury investigation was active enough to stop civil litigation. Judge Marra held that the absence of an indictment or information meant no criminal action was pending under the statute invoked by the defense.
The unsealing decision also contributed to public understanding of the agreement at a time when its secrecy was being used in court. Together, the rulings show how survivor civil cases became a source of documentary accountability even when they ended without public trials.

Verified: Judge Marra denied the requested stay and denied sealing of the stay materials.
Verified: The court granted evidence preservation relief.
Verified: The October 3, 2008 order remanded the case because the defendants did not prove fraudulent joinder and complete diversity was absent.
Not established: The remand order did not adjudicate liability, damages, or the truth of every complaint allegation.
Supported with qualification: Epstein’s counsel represented in June 2010 that the 08-80804 claim was resolved. A public settlement agreement or dismissal order establishing the precise terms was not located in the reviewed record.

- What was the final state court docket entry terminating case 50-2008-CA-006596?
- On what date did the parties execute any settlement agreement?
- Did Epstein, Robson, and Kellen all participate in the same resolution?
- What compensation, if any, was paid, and by whom?
- Did the agreement contain confidentiality, nondisparagement, cooperation, or document return provisions?
- Did the state court rule on any amended complaint after remand?
- Was Epstein’s scheduled January 2009 deposition completed, postponed, or cancelled?
- Which materials covered by the federal preservation order were ultimately produced?
- Were any preserved items returned to Epstein by the State of Florida?
- Did any insurer, trust, company, or third party fund the resolution?
- Are sealed state filings available for survivor protected judicial review or lawful public release?
- How did the terms compare with Epstein’s agreements in the other Florida survivor cases resolved during the same period?
Limitations
The federal docket is unusually well represented in the EFTA archive, but the state court record after remand is incomplete. The federal decision supplies a reliable account of the allegations and jurisdictional reasoning, yet it cannot establish what happened during every later state proceeding.
The later statement that the case was resolved came from Epstein’s counsel in another case. It is useful evidence, but it is not a settlement agreement, payment record, or final state judgment. The article therefore avoids assigning an amount or stating that the resolution included admissions.
Several source files contain redactions, imperfect optical character recognition, duplicate scans, and inconsistent caption formatting. Dates and docket numbers were checked against the federal docket report and the court’s signed orders whenever possible.
No verified case specific article from the established EpsteinWiki sleuth Substack sources was located through targeted searches for the federal and state docket numbers. None has been added merely to fill a source category.
