    MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Opposition re: 103 MOTION to Compel the Production of Documents From the Securities and Exchange Commission and The United States Attorney's Office. and in Support of a Renewed Motion for a Limited Stay of Discovery. Document

    Filed December 18, 2009

    “Summaries” of factual information would likewise fall within this work product doctrine, as such summaries would reflect AUSA mental impressions of the case. Finally, in the materials listed on the USAO’s privilege log, which were previously provided to the Court for in camera review, every reference to a statement of Stephanou concerning Contorinis is merely cumulative of the information contained in the FBI 302s, which will be released pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3500 in the criminal case. Accordingly, there is no basis Case 1:09-cv-01043-RJS Document 109 Filed 12/18/09 Page 21 of 22 20 to pierce the work product privilege here.

  2. USA v. Brugnara

    MOTION in Limine To Exclude Deposition Testimony

    Filed February 3, 2015

    When the government fails to turn over relevant statements, as it may have done here, the appropriate remedy action for the Court to take is to “strike from the record the testimony of the witness.” 18 U.S.C. section 3500(d). If the Court has questions about statements taken and written by Special Agent Headley, the Court is required to call her as a witness.

  3. Kleinpeter-Fleck v. Collins and Aikman Corporation et al

    RESPONSE to 102 MOTION to Compel Production of Documents From Defendant Stockman

    Filed March 17, 2009

    An order that Mr. Stockman must produce the Witness Interview Notes in this case would treat as ordinary discovery what the law treats as a special class of discovery. Compare 18 U.S.C. §3500 with Fed. R. Crim. Proc. 16.

  4. Barone v. United States of America et al

    REPLY MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Support re: 61 CROSS MOTION to Unseal Grand Jury Materials.CROSS MOTION for Disclosure Grand Jury Materials. . Document

    Filed March 16, 2015

    As Barone explained in his moving brief, to the extent some future grand jury witnesses might be fearful that their testimony may be disclosed, such concerns should be given little weight, especially in light of Brady v. Maryland and its progeny and the Jencks Act, since no modern grand jury witnesses can ever reasonably expect complete secrecy of their testimony. See Palmer v. Estate of Walwyn Stuart, No. 02 Civ. 4076 (LTS)(GWG), 2004 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 21788, at *13 (S.D.N.Y. 2004); Anilao, 918 F. Supp. 2d at 179-180; Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963); 18 U.S.C. § 3500. This is particularly true of “future” law enforcement officers who must testify “as part of their regular job duties as public servants” and                                                              3 Even more notably perhaps, defendants did not cite to or rely on Rehberg at all in their initial motion to dismiss papers and cited the case for the first time in their reply, which is improper.

  5. USA v. Gorski

    Opposition

    Filed August 29, 2014

    The statute defines “statement” to include an adopted writing of the witness or an exact recording of an oral pronouncement, as well as any contemporaneously-made recording or transcription which amounts to “a substantially verbatim recital of a [witness’s] oral statement.” 18 U.S.C. § 3500(e); see United States v. Gonzalez–Melendez, 570 F.3d 1, 4 (1st Cir. 2009) (per curiam). Here, well in advance of Patel’s trial testimony, the government has produced the portions of the interviews relevant to the subject matter of his testimony, satisfying its Jencks Act obligations.1 To the extent that the redacted portions contain impeachment material whose disclosure is required by Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972) and/or Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 (1963), the government will disclose such information at the required time.

  6. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Martin-Artajo et al

    MEMORANDUM OF LAW in Opposition re: 29 MOTION to Intervene. MOTION to Stay Discovery Pending Resolution of the Parallel Criminal Action.. Document

    Filed March 6, 2014

    Rather: In any criminal prosecution brought by the United States, no statement or report in the possession of the United States which was made by a Government witness or prospective Government witness (other than the defendant) shall be the subject of subpoena, discovery, or inspection until said witness has testified on direct examination in the trial of the case. 18 U.S.C. § 3500 (2012). As clearly stated in the statute and confirmed by this court, “§ 3500 has no application in civil cases.”

  7. USA v. Christian et al

    MEMORANDUM in Opposition

    Filed July 31, 2013

    The Jencks Act provides in pertinent part: In any criminal prosecution brought by the United States, no statement or report in the possession of the United States which was made by a Government witness or prospective Government witness (other than the defendant) shall be the subject of subpoena, discovery, or inspection until said witness has testified on direct examination in the trial of the case. Case 1:12-cr-00626-ER Document 68 Filed 07/31/13 Page 25 of 36 25 18 U.S.C. § 3500. Courts in this Circuit have consistently held that the district court lacks the power to mandate early production of Jencks material.

  8. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Stephanou et al

    RESPONSE to Motion re: 103 MOTION to Compel the Production of Documents From the Securities and Exchange Commission and The United States Attorney's Office.. Document

    Filed December 18, 2009

    b. Contorinis is a Criminal Defendant, and Will Be Provided With Information Regarding the Stephanou Proffer Sessions Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3500 (Factors 5 and 9). As Contorinis himself acknowledges, because he is a criminal defendant, he will ultimately be provided with information concerning the Stephanou Proffer Sessions pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3500. Contorinis Brief, p. 12.

    1 letter, the government agrees to instruct its agents to preserve any existing written notes.
