v.
Action for Indemnification

ESTATE OF JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN ; DARREN K. INDYKE, in his capacity as Executor of the ESTATE OF JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN; RICHARD D. KAHN, in his capacity as Executor of the ESTATE OF JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN; and NES, LLC, a New York Limited Liability Company,

Defendants.

## ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the undersigned following a review of the file.

The parties appeared before the Judge for a status conference on March 9, 2022. According to the record of the clerk, the Judge directed the parties to submit briefs on or before August 1, 2022, on whether Virgin Islands public policy barred one or more of Plaintiff Ghislaine Maxwell's claims. The undersigned, having attended the hearing, recalls that Plaintiff's counsel had also requested a longer period of time to file the briefs in light of the then-pending criminal case in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. No date was given for another status conference, however.

In furtherance of the undersigned's duty to oversee the management of the complex litigation cases, and to hold case management and scheduling conferences in complex litigation cases, see generally In re. Auth. for the Creation & Appointment of Staff Master for Complex Lit. Div. of Super. Ct. of the V.I. , Admin Order No. 2021-0012 (V.I. Aug. 12, 2021), available at 2021 V.I.
