Jeffrey Epstein, through his counsel, requests a temporary stay of proceedings in a civil case against Bradley J. Edwards pending the outcome of a related quasi-criminal matter, Doe v. United States. Epstein argues that the ongoing federal lawsuit could invalidate his Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA), forcing him to assert his Fifth Amendment rights and impairing his defense in the civil case. The motion outlines the overlap between the civil and potential criminal cases, the risks to Epstein's Fifth Amendment rights, and the need for a stay to avoid prejudicing his defense.
