THEREUPON,
(The following meeting took place):
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: We've got, it looks
like, two matters right now. I have some
suggestions, but
certainly open to
suggestions.
One, we are meeting to take a look at the
privilege log and see whether we have problems
with the privilege log; and if we have
problems, what needs to be done to correct the
problems. Two, we have a Request for Sanctions
and we need a resolution on the Request for
Sanctions.
It seems to me that probably the first thing
on the agenda, because it certainly would play
into either one, is a determination: Do we
have a problem with the privilege log? And if
so, what's the problem and what is there to
correct it? So, why don't we begin with that.
MR. SCAROLA: Before we get underway with
that specific business. On the record, I want
to renew our request to a stipulation that you
be appointed as Special Master in the State
Court proceedings.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Response?

MR. KNIGHT: At this time, let's see where
all this goes. We haven't brought that under
consideration with our client. We need to speak
with him.
MR. SCAROLA: Well, that request has been
made repeatedly over an extended period of time
and I think it is clearly an indication of the
bad faith of Mr. Epstein that has been --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Actually, I believe
that plaintiff had actually written a letter and
agreed to that quite sometime ago. That was
actually in one of the responses I think by Mr.
Ackerman.
MR. KNIGHT: Well, obviously, we've had
these requests out since last July. They are
properly before Judge Rey and properly before
you at this point. It is not a decision that we
need to make today. We believe we have good
grounds on these TIG objections. It is close to
what should have been accomplished over the last
six, seven, eight months now. And so, we note
Mr. Scarola's comment for the record.
We want to address the two issues that are
here today and we can address those other issues
at a later time.

MR. SCAROLA: And it is our position that
those issues cannot be properly addressed unless
and until there is a State Court ruling with
regard to the discoverability of the information
that has been requested which appropriately must
proceed any requirement that a privilege log of
any kind be submitted.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: What I would
suggest, III viewing the determination of or the
presentation of me as a Special Master in the
State Court can be divided up into either
initially yes, no. If the answer is yes, we
still don't have duties yet within the State
Court.
Ultimately, it seems to me that probably
the issue at this point, I don't think anyone
looking back on Mr. Ackerman's letter.
think that the letter had pretty much indicated
a copy of this would certainly go to Judge
Rey. Actually, I believe that part of the
decision-making process in that letter was to
Judge Rey or, excuse me, to Judge Crow.
I don't think anyone is really disputing
particularly that Judge Crow need be involved in
some fashion or another because he is the

presiding judge over the case.
And so, these are things that historically
there have been agreements, but we're not
necessarily seeing fruition
on the agreements.
We get an agreement and that seems to be kind of
the last we hear of it.
But III not necessarily sure that I agree
with what Mr. Scarola did. Right now we have to
have a resolution as to what role Judge Crow
would take vis-a-vis this matter as opposed to
Judge Rey. But it seems to me it's easy enough
to at least get to a stipulation that at least
both are in play somewhat. It seems to me it's
pretty hard to determine that Judge Crow isn't
in play if he's the presiding judge.
MR. KNIGHT: We just don't like creating
delay by that for Judge Rey of which I think the
different machinations that come from this
proceeding that's been --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: III not saying any
delay --
MR. KNIGHT: We're not saying you are. If
we entered into that stipulation now, I think we
would do it right before Judge Crow, we would
lose any momentum that we have right now for

Judge Rey. We want to get on to the actual
issues, the same ones we've been asking for.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: I agree completely
on that. But M, again, not necessarily sure
that we have a particular problem. The reason
III saying that is when this went in front of
Judge Crow, Judge Crow, basically, washed his
hands of it and said it's in front of the
Bankruptcy Court. Let the Bankruptcy Court
decide it. It looks like that's exactly what's
going to happen.
The only issue that III seeing right now
with respect to Judge Crow is there aught to
be something in there that Judge Crow ratifies
what the Bankruptcy Court judge does. Otherwise,
we're left hanging in the wind. Whatever
happens here is not binding at all on the State
Court judge. The State Court judge can do
whatever he wants.
MR. SCAROLA: Respectfully, and maybe we're
saying the same thing but in different ways,
Judge Crow expressly ruled that he will make a
determination as to what is discoverable in the
State Court proceedings; that he deferred to
Judge Rey for purposes of Judge Rey determining

anything that was pending in the Bankruptcy
Court without that having any binding impact
upon his decisions with regard to what is
discoverable in the State Court.
The representations were made to Judge Crow
at the time that he made that ruling that there
was an independent basis upon which the
discovery was being sought in the Bankruptcy
Court, that is, that it was not only a State
Court subpoena that was issued to the Trustee,
but that there were independent discovery
requests that were made in the bankruptcy
proceeding upon which Judge Rey was proceeding.
Now, I don't believe that to have been
accurate, but those are the representations that
were made to Judge Crow. And on that basis,
Judge Crow said Judge Rey can do whatever he
wants to but I, Judge Crow, am deciding what is
discoverable in my case. That's where that
stands.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Which I think he
absolutely has the authority to do. I have
indicated from the very outset, because it is a
State Court action and the final arbiter of that
State Court action is Judge Crow, the one who is

really the best one to resolve this in my view
is and always has been Judge Crow.
Judge Rey is doing it.
Judge Crow has
deferred to Judge Rey.
All III interested in
doing right now is putting Judge Crow in the
loop in a fashion where Judge Crow can agree or
disagree with whatever my findings are as a
Master.
Now, unless and until III appointed as a
Master in the State Court, he can't do that.
And as I say, that leaves us hanging in the wind
at that point. I don't think he can on his own
simply sua sponte say, III adopting the findings
of the Special Master. I think that would
create all kinds of appellate issues if we did
that.
MR. SCAROLA: Nor do I think that the
plaintiff should be in the position of waiting
to see what your rulings are and then deciding
whether the plaintiff wishes to stipulate to
those rulings as a recommendation in the State
Court.
The time to make that decision is now. And
if they don't choose to make it, they don't
choose to make it. But I want the record to be

absolutely clear that we are offering to allow
your rulings to be binding as rulings of the
Special Master in the State Court proceeding as
well as the Bankruptcy Court proceeding. We're
willing to go so far as to --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Let me backup for
just a second, because it's the "binding" that's
the word that's causing a little bit of a
problem for me.
MR. SCAROLA: I understand and I was about
to address that.
(Telephone Rings)
(WHEREUPON, an off-the-record discussion
was had).
MR. SCAROLA: The stipulation that we are
offering is that you serve as Special Master
in the State Court. We go beyond that and we
will agree that we will waive any appellate
rights that we might have, including appellate
rights to the Circuit Court judge, and allow
your rulings to be binding within the State
Court proceeding. They can accept all or any
portion of that stipulation or reject it in its
entirety.

sure Illiunderstanding precisely which way
you're going. What 'IIIunderstanding the role
is and where I see the problem right now,
ordinarily, once I make my various findings and
recommendations, I submit them to the judge who
can give them a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
The judge, generally, in the absence of an
objection is pretty much bound by what I do.
If we have an objection, the court, of course,
rules on the objection.
The difficulty that III seeing right now is,
at the moment we're only going to Judge Rey,
which means that -- And Judge Crow has said, I
don't care what Judge Rey does. It's my
decision. We end up with that problem right
there. If we put Judge Crow in the loop, we
still have a problem and the problem --

MR. EDWARDS: Hi.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: As I had mentioned,
the problem that III seeing if we have simply
both judges copied, as long as we have both the
judges making rulings, we have the possibility
of inconsistent rulings. Therein, we have a
problem.
The solution I think, ultimately, is because
it is a Judge Crow case and it's being handled
in State Court and it's a pure State Court
action, ideally, is to have the Special Master

appointed in the State Court and then have Judge
Crow actually be the one ruling on the
objections, if there are any objections, but
have the report go back with a copy to Judge
Rey.
Now, any issues that are exclusively Judge
Rey issues for which Judge Crow would have no
interest
in would be in front of Judge Rey.
But
where there are State Court issues for which
Judge Crow would ultimately make the final
decision as to admissibility
in court, as to
discoverability,
as to whatever, it seems to me
the obvious choice is to have Judge Crow rule on
those and not be in a position of a potentially
dueling judges' orders.
MR. KNIGHT:
I understand what you've said,
and I'll
fill
Marty in more on the part he
missed.
We'll get back to that.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
Let's take a look at
the privilege log right now.
We can come --
MR. SCAROLA:
Let me just make sure that my
position is clear.
I agree with everything that
you have said.
Obviously, you can only be
appointed as Special Master in the State Court
proceeding upon stipulation
of the parties.

SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: I agree. Actually,
and by order of the court. It's still going to
take a court order.
MR. SCAROLA: Well, yes and no. Yes, it
would take a court order for you to be appointed
as Special Master to follow the proceedings that
we have described. The parties are also free to
agree to arbitrate these issues --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Oh, absolutely.
MR. SCAROLA: -- to make your decision a
binding arbitration decision with regard to the
discovery of these documents. We are offering
to do both. We are offering to have you
appointed as Special Master in the State Court
and to follow the proceedings that ordinarily
are followed with regard to a Special Master's
appointment where you report to the court.
There is a possibility for objections being
made. The court rules on those objections.
Accepts, rejects or modifies the report of the
Special Master. We agree to that procedure.
We also go a step further. We are willing
to allow all of these discovery issues to be
resolved by binding arbitration. To have you as
Special Master become the arbiter, the final

arbiter of these discovery issues.
If the plaintiff is, in fact, interested in
the expedited resolution of these issues, the
fastest way to get them resolved is to agree to
that procedure. I don't think they've ever been
interested in that.
Their rejection of our proposal that you be
Special Master in the State Court proceedings
indicates they have no real interest in that.
Their refusal to agree to have these issues
arbitrated by you is a further indication that
they have no interest in that.
This is an abuse of process from beginning
to end and all of these discovery proceedings
are part of that abuse of the court's process.
That's our position. Let them do with it
what they want, but I want to be sure that this
record reflects what we are willing to do.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: I am not necessarily
sure that III agreeing one hundred percent with
your analysis. I think, even if the parties
stipulate, for me to be a binding arbiter would
still require a court order.
And the reason III saying that is, because

Judge Crow. If I were Judge Crow, the question
is: Would I want somebody making decisions for
me that go up on appeal with my name on them
where illino part of the decision at all? III
not necessarily sure that I would agree to
that.
MR. SCAROLA: There would be no appeal. If
it's binding arbitration, there is no appeal.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Well, ultimately,
once the case goes up to the appellate court,
let's assume just for the sake of argument that
I make a ruling and I goof in my ruling. The
question is: It eliminates from Judge Crow any
ability to correct it.
Ultimately, when it goes up on appeal he's
the one who's appealed, not me. That's why III
viewing where III in Judge Crow's position,
whether it's binding arbitration or Special
Master, I would like to sign-off on the order.
MR. KNIGHT: Judge Carney, I heard Mr.
Scarola the first time. I heard him the second
time. I heard him the third time. The abuse of
process here, we still haven't been able to get
a proper privilege log since August. We want
to move forward on that. We understand his

issues and where he wants to go. I don't think
arbitration is something we've even discussed,
so we will consider that.
Although, I think there is a bunch of
problems that will come with that relative to
appellate rights, et cetera, that would be
before Judge Crow because we can't appeal your
ruling to the 4th. We can appeal Judge Crow's.
I don't want to get into that. I actually
want to get into the merits of what this hearing
is supposed to be today and not this smokescreen
that's being pushed on us, because there are
significant deficiencies in this TIG privilege
log that we need to discuss. They're very
important. It can put us in a position where at
this point we'll need to start reviewing the
documents.
MR. SCAROLA: Let's get at it.
MR. KNIGHT: So we need to get into it.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Just before we go.
Ultimately - and I do understand the defense
position because this has been on the table in
the past, apparently, agreed to by the
plaintiff - the position is in the absence of
following through on the agreement, it's

ultimately waiting to see what the ruling is
here. And if you like the ruling, you agree to
it. And if you don't like the ruling, you don't
agree to it.
As I say, there is some merits to the
position that probably aught be resolved before
the court makes a particular ruling, but I can't
compel resolution one way or the other. What I
am advising is, without a resolution of getting
in front of Judge Crow, all we're doing at this
point is spinning our wheels.
As I say, it's a State Court action and
Judge Crow has already said, III not bound by
whatever the bankruptcy judge does. In the
absence of an agreement, this cannot be placed
in front of Judge Crow as a fait accompli.
So, I see really compelling reasons, legal
reasons to go at least part way with what Mr.
Scarola is saying. I see only upside and no
downside. To do it without it, I see only
downside and no upside.
At any rate, having said that, let's
proceed. Let's start I guess with the privilege
log.
MR. ACKERMAN: Your Honor, I would like to

just add a couple of things before we proceed.
First of all, this matter has been brought up
without being properly noticed.
Judge Crow has entered a case management
order, which this is one of the items we have to
discuss. It's not as simple as Mr. Scarola puts
it, because there are issues as we've argued
before that Judge Rey has jurisdiction over,
including the order that we're here for now.
That has to be addressed now because of the
outstanding nature of the orders relating to the
privilege log.
We have other subpoenas that are going to go
to the Trustee. The Trustee is under the
jurisdiction of a Bankruptcy Court. Mr.
Scarola, with all due respect, is inaccurate in
relating what I said because, initially, when
these matters came before Judge Rey there were
other parties seeking records on adversary
proceedings.
But notwithstanding that, Judge Rey had
entered an order stating that based on the fact
that he had jurisdiction over the property of
R.R.A.'s records that he has jurisdiction over
that.

At this point in time we're asking the
court to rule on these two matters, asking the
court to enter a recommendation and at that
point in time the matter goes to Judge Rey.
And
I believe that's
the time to address these
issues, but it can't be done with a simple
stipulation
because there are other issues that
have to be addressed for future subpoenas and
whether or not you're going to be appointed on
anything beside that.
That's something that we
haven't discussed or resolved, and I say that
with all due respect to Your Honor.
But right now, your appointment is for these
documents and this subpoena.
I believe that
in order to accomplish what Mr. Scarola is
saying or accomplish, rather, what Judge Crow is
saying for a review, ultimately,
on the issues
that have to come before him, those issues have
to be taken into consideration.
They can't be done today.
They haven't been
able to be done before because we haven't
addressed them.
I think the appropriate time
is to do it as part of the case management and
not today.
MR. SCAROLA:

MR. ACKERMAN: What you started this
conversation with today, that's what III talking
about. Your request for a stipulation, that's
not before us today.
MR. SCAROLA: Well, I don't know what
procedure must be followed to offer to enter
into a stipulation. III not aware that I've got
to file some written document or give some
period of time, notice in advance of raising
that issue. I have offered this stipulation
repeatedly. It has repeatedly been accepted
informally and then rejected. No confirmation
has ever been made.
I understand that it's been rejected today.

That's fine. I want it to be clear on the
record that that continues to be our position.
It will always continue to be our position. I
always expect that we will get nothing but delay
from the other side. That's okay, too.
So, if the matter that has not been properly
noticed is our offer of a stipulation, I don't
know what that means, let's get on with
whatever Mr. Ackerman believes has been properly
noticed.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Let's go back to the
privilege log at this point and the complaints
with the privilege log. Let's see if we have an
issue with the privilege log. And if we do,
what it is and what needs to be done.
MR. ACKERMAN: Your Honor, we filed an
extensive memorandum that summarizes, first, the
requirements of a privilege log and where,
specifically, the privilege log is deficient.
While we're on the subject of delay, a proper,
legally sufficient privilege log was due on
January 31st. One was not presented. It
was, basically, a privilege log that listed
several thousand documents with one entry to
apply to all of them.

We were before Your Honor again on February
16th. Mr. Edwards, Mr. Farmer and III. were
given the opportunity to prepare a second
privilege log that would comply with the TIG
requirements. We received that second privilege
log, and that's the one we're here before Your
Honor.
The case law is abundantly clear that in
order for a party that seeks documents claimed
to be privileged, they must receive a log that
is complete, adequate and defines the
relationship of the parties so that they can
determine whether a valid privilege has been
asserted.
In this case throughout the entire log there
is no identification of the parties or their
capacities, so we cannot determine whether or
not they're a part of Mr. Edwards' law firm or
whether they're outside it. And I believe the
court had even at one point thrown a suggestion
out there to prepare some sort of master list
to identify that.
And while we may not have stated that
that would have complied with the cases, the
fact is, they have done nothing after being

given two opportunities to prepare a privilege
log.
Under the cases that we've cited,
particularly, the TIG case and the Century case,
the court is entitled if it finds it
appropriate, which we're asking it to do, to
determine a waiver.
What I would like to do is go through the
specifics of it. The privilege must
provide sufficient information to enable the
parties to evaluate the applicability of the
claimed privilege.
With regard to the attorney-client
privilege, we listed the elements that have to
be shown. We have to be able to see who the
holder is. There is absolutely no
identification as to which client they are
claiming the privilege for.
We have to determine whether the person to
whom the communi --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Don't we only have a
single client in this case?
MR. ACKERMAN: No. They have made the claim
of privilege on behalf of three, three potential
victims.

SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Okay.
MR. ACKERMAN: And now there are two
additional claims that they're making that I
suspect they're going to claim at least a
work-product privilege on.
So, we cannot identify whether the privilege
has been appropriately invoked, because they
haven't identified 1 of 5 possible clients
that could be the holder of the privilege.
There has to be an identification if that
person to whom the communication is made is a
member of the Bar or their subordinate. We
cannot tell that from the privilege log. We
have to know that it was, in fact, in connection
with the rendering of legal services, it wasn't
done in the presence of other outside strangers.
As far as this privilege log is concerned,
as it relates to the attorney-client privilege,
since we do not have any capacities described in
terms of the client, we do not know what the
specific purpose -- They can state the general
purpose without describing it and revealing any
confidentiality. We cannot know what their role
is in relationship to the confidentiality in
order for them to establish an attorney-client

privilege.
With regard to the work-product privilege,
that privilege is divided into two parts. It's
a fact work-product privilege, which relates to
information obtained during and in anticipation
of litigation.
And then there is the privilege that relates
to the attorney's mental thoughts and
impressions. Under almost all circumstances,
the thoughts and impressions of a lawyer are
completely privileged as work-product.
Under certain circumstances, upon the
demonstration of need and upon the demonstration
of inability to obtain facts from other sources,
fact work-product can be obtained from the party
requesting the information.
In this instance there is no effort
whatsoever to determine or to state whether the
privilege claimed to be work-product is fact or
work-product. III sorry. Fact, work-product or
opinion work-product.
Now, I've given the court the cases in
there. The case law requires particularized
findings in support of your determination as to
whether or not they are fact or opinion

work-product. You're not going to be able to do
that nor are we going to be able to make a
claim unless that distinction is made.
We also, respectfully, direct your attention
to the sheer number of people identified who
received e-mails from Edwards where no objection
is made on the basis of joint defense but only
work-product. They haven't established that
those people are within the litigation team or
the people that are entitled to receive the
work-product.
Because if he sends information out to third
parties that aren't part of his team, we're able
to argue that that's a waiver of the
work-product privilege without knowing their
capacity, without knowing the fact that they're
part of the litigation team. There is at least
over 20 of those where he's failed to establish
who they are.
In the pooled joint defense or common
litigation interests there are predicates for
establishing that. There may be attorneys on
there where he's claimed joint defense
privilege, although there is no claim of
defense against the plaintiffs that's being

made, but there's a predicate that needs to be
established as to who the person is, what the
purpose of the joint litigation or common
interest was to be, and that case is requiring
matters cited and there is no effort at all to
break those up.
In general, because the document is
discussed among participants or transferred
among participants in a joint common interest
agreement, it doesn't make it work-product if
it's not privileged to begin with.
For example, there are communications
relating to conversations with U.S. Attorneys
and FBI Agents which under no circumstances
have any privity with the joint defense. So
passing it on, particularly coming from them to
these agents, certainly is not a work-product
privilege.
There has to be an establishment,
particularly in the instance where they have
identified U.S. Attorneys and FBI Agents, as to
how that is any type of privilege, because the
government does not participate in nor can they
as a party in a civil proceeding absent a notice
of being filed and particularly in these cases.

They have listed confidential informants.
Now, the case law that we've cited allows the
government to withhold a confidential
informant's identity at least for a certain
period of time. But if that confidential
informant has material evidence relevant to the
defense of the case then a defendant can get it.
There are no cases at all establishing a
confidential informant privilege in the civil
arena. There is no comparable purpose to be
served and there is no legal basis for claiming
that type of privilege.
Here, the defendants don't claim an
informant privilege, which is the one that
exists in the criminal area, but they claim the
privilege of a confidential source. There is no
case law at all that indicates that that is a
legal privilege under Florida law, under the
Florida Evidence Code that deals with privilege.
And just because someone is named a source
doesn't make communications from that person to
the lawyer privileged or any documents that are
transmitted in that fashion.
So unless this confidential source is
identified to be a lawyer or an investigator

that's part of Mr. Edwards' litigation team then
those are facial waivers of the work-product or
any other privilege that's claimed, because they
are clearly third parties. And the lack of
identification of those people clearly makes
those impossible for us to tell. And if they
are claiming them to be, for example, in the
case of the FBI Agents or the U.S. Attorney,
those are clearly third parties.
There is also a claim for privilege based on
protective privacy rights. They haven't
identified any specific privacy right or
described the person whose privacy interests are
at stake. They haven't identified any of the
people that are claiming the privilege in other
aspects as well. But here, there can be no
valid privilege raised to protect a generic
privacy right.
Under Section 90.501 of the Florida
Statutes it lists the privileges that apply.
Absent the establishment of those privileges,
any document that is requested should be
produced.
I just want to add one thing that was
brought up earlier. Mr. Scarola has argued that

there has been no determination on the relevancy
of this subpoena. I submit to you, in prior
memorandums this issue has already been
addressed and you mentioned it at the last
hearing.
When this subpoena went out to the U.S.
Trustee in April, Mr. Scarola asked for copies.
There was no objection made at that time at the
time the subpoena was sent out. So, it's our
position the issues of relevancy are not
properly before you on this proceeding.
But with regard to the privacy, there is no
reason -- there is no case law that extends the
right of privacy to the issues that are set
forth here. They haven't claimed why it's
private. They haven't claimed who's stating
it's private. And we contend that those are
facial waivers to the extent documents rely only
on the privacy right.
Now, we've argued and I've given the court a
lengthy list of cases that it settled that the
failure to supply an adequate privilege log
results in a waiver of the privilege under
Florida or Federal law. There is a specific
case that I cited, Century Business Credit Corp.

It's in the brief and I have a copy of it.
In that case the 4th District allowed a
waiver to be found because the log was not only
months late, but also completely inadequate.
The citation for that in my brief and for the
record is: Century Business Credit
Corporation vs. Fitness Innovations and
Technology, 906 So.2d, 1156, Florida 4th DCA,
2005.
As I've indicated to you before, Mr.
Edwards, Farmer & Jaffe and M. have had the
opportunity for the last, you know, from the
time the initial orders and documents were
provided, and certainly by January 31st, to
prepare an adequate log.
We are now six weeks beyond that and still
do not have a log that allows us to identify
meaningful objections with sufficient detail to
comply with the requirements of Florida Rules of
Civil Procedure 1.280, as well as the TIG case
and the Century Business case so that we can
make appropriate objections on this.
As a result of this we're asking the court
that, because no less than four orders directing
Edwards, et al. to prepare this privilege log

have been complied with and since the last two
do not remotely meet the TIG requirements, we're
asking the court to enter a finding that the
privileges have been waived.
Your Honor, on Page 83, if you need to see
the log.
MR. KNIGHT: These are just some examples.
MR. ACKERMAN: To give you an example, if
you look at Page 83, it says Brad to source. It
doesn't say who the source is. It's claimed
within the work-product privilege. We need to
have the identity to know if there is a waiver.
If you go to Page 85, you have Brad to
R.R.A.. We don't know who the attorney is,
whether it's Rothstein, whether it's someone in
the firm based on the investment team that was
attempting to arrange these investments through
third parties.
There's a similar problem on Page 86 for
Rothstein on e-mail regarding causes of action.
We believe that that would be work-product only
if it relates to a pre-existing client.
On Page 87 and 138, we have Jenne to
attorneys in Rothstein's firm. If Rothstein

established in deposition that Mr. Jenne brought
boxes of the 1M file to at least two
individuals who were interested in investing in
Mr. Rothstein's ponzi scheme.
If Mr. Jenne is sending the e-mail to
Rothstein, without knowing what the subject
matter is, it could be related to the scheme or
it could be to Mr. Edwards relating to the case
or the scheme.
Page 100, there's a listing for Coffey. If
he's not an attorney for R.R.A. and he's not in
the firm, then there may be a waiver of the
privilege.
We have Page 136 where there's an e-mail or
a letter from Brad to R.R.A. relating to
Clinton. We don't know which client that is.
We believe that part of the scheme to entrap
investors to this ponzi scheme was to subpoena
people like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. And
there is testimony from Dean Kretschmar that
talks about a log book of people that were on
Mr. Epstein's plane, including Mr. Clinton.

outside investors, but we don't know who he is,
and he appears to be receiving e-mails from Brad
Edwards relating to this case.
Page 155 shows the FBI as a source. That's
not work-product. And if there is information
coming from Brad Edwards to the FBI then that's
a waiver of the work-product privilege.
Those are some of the examples upon which
we're relying. But the court can see by an
examination of the log in its entirety there is
absolutely no identifying of capacities as to
who the people are, there is no identifying as
to who the client is for whom the work-product
privilege, attorney-client privilege, privacy
privilege, et cetera, has been claimed.

are multiple fundamental defects in the
arguments that have been advanced on behalf of

established record. He's pled guilty to
molestation.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: That may be, but it
doesn't serve any purpose here.
MR. SCAROLA: There is no privilege log
required until discoverability is first
determined. Gosman, the 4th DCA case that Your
Honor has cited repeatedly in communications to
the parties, expressly holds that a predicate to
any requirement for the submission of a
privilege log is a determination of
discoverability.
What Mr. Epstein's lawyers have argued is
that a subpoena was issued to which no objection
was raised at the time of the issuance of the
subpoena. Under the unique circumstances of
this case, it must be remembered that Mr.
Edwards had no access to those documents. The
documents were within the possession and control
of the Trustee.
Mr. Edwards didn't know what the documents
were, didn't know what the contents of the
documents were and had every right to wait until
the time of the deposition and examine documents
on a document-by-document basis and raise his

objection to discoverability
when the documents
were in front of him.
He had no ability
to
assert objections in advance of having access to
the documents.
Once he obtained access to the documents,
clearly,
he has persistently
and consistently
objected to the scope of the discovery sought.
He has argued that much of the discovery sought
is impermissible, beyond the scope of
appropriate discovery for many reasons before we
ever get to privilege issues.
It is our position that while we have
complied with the Bankruptcy Court's direction
to prepare a privilege log, the direction to
prepare a privilege log is at odds with state
law as expressly set out in the Gosman case by
the 4th District Court of Appeals.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
Let me pause here
for a second, because I have a couple of
questions.
I think an argument can be made that
Mr. Edwards had several choices:
He could make
an objection that it's
overbroad, in which case
I would agree with you.
If there was an
objection overbroad, that stops everything until
that objection is ruled on.
Or, he can make a

request for a protective order claiming
attorney-client privilege, a separate request.
The law actually is gray with the protective
order. There is a series of cases that say
they, too, also have to be resolved prior to
proceeding forward. But there's some case law
that also indicates as long as only privilege is
raised then it may require the necessity of the
privilege log. And that's the issue that III
looking at right now, because
not aware
that Mr. Edwards made an overbroad objection.
It's my understanding that - because I
would agree totally, that stops it - it's a
privilege log objection. As I say, a privilege
log is gray. Excuse me, a protective order is
gray.
Under the Evidence Code, and I've examined
that very carefully, the cases go in both
directions. They're all over the place on that.
But as long as the only thing that is being
raised, if it is not an overbreadth objection,
as long as it is only being raised that it's
attorney-client work-product then III not sure
there is a good way to resolve it without a
privilege log.

MR. SCAROLA: The point that
attempting
to make here is that the cases that address this
issue address it in circumstances where the
objecting party has possession, custody or
control of the documents. He knows what the
documents are. He can look at them and he can
decide which of them are subject to relevancy
and materiality objections, which of them impose
an undue burden, which of them may be
privileged, and he can focus his objections
based upon a knowledge of the documents
themselves.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: And MI not in
disagreement with that. But if we track a
little of the history of this, the way this came
about, originally, Judge Rey entered an order.
At least in my view the order was just patently
defective on its face. The order had directed
me to produce a privilege log. There were a
variety of issues with the order.
I had made a request to Judge Rey that we
need to clarify that order and we need to modify
that order. We've got problems with it. Judge
Rey agreed. A second order was entered. Under
the terms of the second order, which is

relatively in line with what we're doing right
now because there was still a third order, but
at this point documents were produced to the
defense.
Now, we ended up with another problem. The
documents that the Trustee gave to the defense
were not the same documents that the Trustee
necessarily gave to the Special Master. Some of
the documents that were given to the defense
were corrupted and not able to be read. That
caused still another delay, actually, not
occasioned by the defendant at that point, that
was occasioned actually by the Trustee.
It was redone. We did a new document based
on entirely what the Special Master got. So
that was what we were all traveling under. I
gave them my copy, they made their copy. But at
this point at least, I believe we were in
October, the defendant had the documents.
And so what III viewing, if I accept that he
may not be able to make a good objection until
he has the documents and sees what the documents
are, then, III not necessarily sure I disagree
with you on that.
Nevertheless, there was not an objection

raised on overbreadth.
The overbreadth
objection under the case law normally stops the
privilege log, but a protective order based
exclusively on attorney -client privilege may
not.
That, again, case law goes both ways on
that issue.
MR. SCAROLA:
I understand that concern.
But what has consistently been overlooked is
the fact that this entire proceeding in the
Bankruptcy Court was an attempted end around
objections that had already been filed.
The first
effort to obtain these documents
was a production request directed to Mr. Edwards
in the State Court proceeding to which we filed
relevancy objections, overbreadth objections and
a variety of other objections.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
III not sure I can
bootstrap that onto this. I think each request
ultimately requires its objection. As I say,
III somewhat of the view at this point this one
is gray, because there was not a direct
overbreadth objection that was filed on this.
I think certainly at some point that objection
has to be raised or waived.
Under the rules it would have been raised

within 10 days or 30 days, I've forgotten
exactly which, from the issuance of the subpoena
or from the notice of the subpoena. But again,
accepting that he doesn't have the documents and
doesn't know what's in the documents at this
point, what they are, again, III not sure
quite as troubled by that.
But as I say, we still get to the question:
How does he object to it? Because the objection
was only a privilege objection. I think there
is a pretty fair argument that could be made at
that point that it waives the overbreadth
objection and what we're left with is a
privilege objection, which would require a
privilege log.
MR. SCAROLA: I have multiple responses for
that. The first is that, Gosman tells us how we
deal with circumstances where we're in gray
areas. And what Gosman explicitly holds is
that an implied waiver of privilege is not
favored in Florida law. There must be an
expressed waiver. There, clearly, has been
no expressed waiver under these circumstances.
But let's move on from procedure to
substance, if we could. This is not a

SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: III not -- Let me
pause here for a second, because I'm not sure
you and I are on the same page on this.
What 'IIIunderstanding is, the procedure
that seems to be set out as the appropriate
procedure on a privilege log issue is: Once the
privilege log has been filed, there is a
hearing. It's not an in-camera inspection at
that point. It is a hearing where the other
side challenges, if they will, the privilege.
What their position is is, they can't challenge
it without more information.
For example, the memo to confidential
source. They can't challenge that without the

information as to whether there would be a
privilege or whether that's something that falls
outside of the privilege, because it's a
disclosure.
MR. SCAROLA: We are on the same page,
because I agree with you that the standard
procedure is: First, the preliminary
determination as to whether the documents are
discoverable, if not, privileged. Then the
filing of a privilege log as to discoverable
material that is claimed to be privileged.
That log identifies documents with
sufficient particularities so that the parties
seeking the discovery can challenge the
assertion of privilege and then an in-camera
inspection to make a determination after the
challenge is raised as to whether the challenge
is or is not valid.
What I am suggesting to you is, we have
voluntarily skipped ahead and provided
everything for an in-camera inspection which we
would ordinarily not be obliged to do. And
because we have waived our right to have the
defense establish a prima facie showing for an
in-camera inspection, the inadequacies that they

absolutely irrelevant.
The documents are there for a determination
as to whether any of them are privileged. And
if there is any questions that arise with the
documents in front of you as to whether they are
or are not privileged or otherwise discoverable,
we're prepared to respond to those questions.
We have met our obligation by voluntarily
producing the documents for in-camera inspection
without putting the parties seeking discovery to
the burden of establishing some prima facie
basis for the in-camera inspection.
That's the whole purpose of the privilege
log, so that they have a basis to challenge the
assertion of privilege and to require that
certain documents be inspected in-camera. We've
waived it. We've given you everything. I don't
know that there is anything more, certainly,
that we are obliged to do.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Just so we're clear.
Actually, in terms of the Bates Stamp documents,
I still don't have the Bates Stamp documents.
I've never had the Bates Stamp documents.

That's the bottom line.

example, the confidential source.
What you're saying is that, out of the
15,000 statements that are listed here, there
are various objections that are raised to
various entries. Addressing specifically the
confidential source entry, that at this point
the next step would be an in-camera inspection
for the court to determine whether the
confidential source actually meets a privilege
or not a privilege.
What III understanding the reason for an
in-camera inspection would be, so that there
wouldn't be a release of the name of the

makes that determination.
MR. SCAROLA: The legal argument has been
made that there is no privilege in civil
litigation to protect the identity of
confidential sources. INgoing to get to that
argument. They have cited the cases that
support the fact that confidential source
information is work-product information. It's
the work-product privilege that applies. There
is no confidential source privilege. There is a
work-product privilege that covers the identity
of persons who are providing information that is
not subsequently going to be used at trial.
If I may, III going to address that
issue and I would be happy to --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Okay.
MR. SCAROLA: Yes, you have the document.
You know what the document says. You can make a
determination as to whether it is covered by the
work-product privilege or it is not covered by
the work-product privilege based upon your
review of the document in your in-camera
inspection of the document.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Before we get to
that, let's cover a couple of areas right now

that are raised by the plaintiff. One,
plaintiff is indicating that there are three
potential sources who could assert the privilege
and there aught be some clarification in the
privilege log as to which of the sources is
asserting the privilege.
MR. SCAROLA: Why?
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Well, that's a
MR. SCAROLA: If it is a client of Brad
Edwards and a claimant against Mr. Epstein, why
must Brad Edwards identify to the defense which
client it is? Maybe it's a client who hasn't
yet filed a claim against Mr. Epstein. Why
should Mr. Epstein be entitled to know the
identity of that person who is asserting an
attorney-client privilege?
And this brings us to what I think is a very
important and fundamental point here: The
privilege belongs to the client; it does not
belong to Mr. Edwards, it does not belong to
R.R.A., it does not belong to the Trustee. Mr.
Edwards, R.R.A., Mr. Rothstein, the Trustee have
no ability to waive a privilege that does not
belong to them.

counsel where there has been a waiver of
privilege found for failing to provide an
adequate privilege log or otherwise comply with
some discovery obligation, every case has been a
case in which the failure was attributable to
the client.
The discovery is sought from a litigant who
is the client. The client fails to meet the
client's obligation and a waiver is found as a
consequence of the client's failure to meet the
obligation to provide an appropriate log.
The privilege belongs to the client. The
client can waive the privilege. And failing to
comply with discovery obligations, some courts
have found in particular circumstances where it
has been particularly egregious, constituted a
waiver of the client's privilege.
Nothing Bradley Edwards does can waive the
client's privilege. It can't waive III.'s
privilege. It can't waive the privilege of any
of the other victims who he represents or has
represented. That privilege belongs to them.
In order for there to be a waiver of the
privilege, they must be the ones who by their
actions or inactions or misconduct have waived

the privilege.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: That may be a
argument for a little bit later down the road.
The issue that I'lltrying to focus in on now is
a narrow one: Whether we have a problem with
the log or whether we don't have a problem with
the log.
MR. SCAROLA: Well, part of the argument
that has been made is, because there is a
problem with the log there has been a waiver of
privilege.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Well, that's what
they're suggesting as a sanction at this point.
But right now, III not dealing with that issue
at the moment. What IIIdealing with is: Do
we have a problem with the log at all or do we
not have a problem with the log?
MR. SCAROLA: Obviously, my primary argument
in that regard is: You have all of the
information that you need to make a
determination with regard to privilege. That's
the purpose of a privilege log, that's the
thrust of T-I-G; to give an independent finder
of fact and law the ability to be able to make
the determination ultimately.

The procedure that is outlined usually
involves a shifting of burden to the party
seeking discovery after the privilege has been
asserted to show some prima facie basis to
overcome the privilege or to challenge it, and
then an in-camera inspection.
We've given it to
you.
Conduct an in-camera inspection.
Give
them whatever you think may be discoverable.
The other objection that they have raised is
that we have asserted in our privilege log a
right to privacy that they contend does not
exist.
The point in their memo is, there is no
right of privacy that protects against any
discovery.
They are absolutely wrong about
that.
This is the Florida Supreme Court, former
Justice Rosemary Barkett, speaking for the
court.
The case is Rasmussen vs. South Florida
Blood Service.
If you turn to Page 535 of the
opinion, I have highlighted the relevant
language.
You can read it faster than I can
read it to you, so I won't bother reading it to
you.

to opposing counsel as well.

right to privacy and requires that the trial
court balance the right of privacy against the
right to discovery. And to the extent that a
right of privacy has been asserted in this
case - again, you have the documents - you know
what their content are. You have an ability to
be able to waive the right of privacy that has
been asserted against the need for discovery in
this abuse of process case. And if you
determine that the right of privacy is
outweighed by the need for the discovery of any
of those documents, you have the ability to
order that they be turned over.
An additional argument that is made, that
there are documents as to which we have claimed
a joint defense privilege that are not covered
under the terms of a joint defense privilege.
As I believe opposing counsel recognizes
what is often referred to as the joint defense
privilege is really a common interest privilege.
The law recognizes the fact that persons with
common interests are entitled to share
information in a privileged and confidential way
regarding the advancement of that common
interest against a common adversary.

All of the requirements for the application
of the common interest privilege are met under
the circumstances of this case both with regard
to the common interests that were shared by
lawyers who were simultaneously prosecuting
identical claims against Mr. Epstein; there was
an express agreement among counsel that
information shared among them concerning Mr.
Epstein would be kept confidential; there were
regularly-scheduled conferences among counsel
for purposes of sharing that confidential
information; and the appropriate predicate
exists to guard that information against
discovery in matters that are still ongoing
against Mr. Epstein.
The same holds true with regard to the
common interests that were shared between
governmental prosecuting authorities and those
prosecuting civil claims arising out of
identical conduct by the same defendant in both
the civil and the criminal proceedings.
The common interest existed. The agreement
existed that information would be shared
confidentiality. Information was shared
confidentiality with a reasonable expectation of

privacy.
The law cited by opposing counsel
recognizes the fact that that common interest
is
sufficient
to support an assertion of
privilege.
If you decide otherwise, you have the
authority to decide otherwise.
You have the
documents.
You can look at them.
You can make
that determination.
Much of what is argued in this memo seeks to
add significant
requirements to the elements
that are necessary in a T-I -G log, privilege
log.
And even if those elements were to be
added, the in-camera production of the documents
satisfies
those added elements, but they are not
appropriately imposed under T-I -G or any other
authority that has been cited by opposing
counsel.
I think that I have covered the points that
Mr. Ackerman made.
If there is something that I
missed, I would be happy to address it.

May I respond, Your Honor?

that have been cited by the defense, excuse me,

pool expenses. Such an agreement, in fact,
existed and we're prepared to support that by
testimony.
I think that completes my response.
MR. ACKERMAN: Your Honor, I briefly want to
address some of the things that Mr. Scarola
talked about. We have been through this even at
the last hearing. I have a copy of the
transcript, if you need it.
At the last hearing we had, we had the same
issue about overbreadth and whether it's
relevant, whether it's determined, and you
addressed it.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Let me cut straight
to the chase for a second. What III ultimately
understanding - and III paraphrasing and
translating some of the things that Mr. Scarola
is saying - not every single entry on the
privilege log has been objected to. What is
being pointed out is that there are certain
entries that are argued as being deficient.
Some examples of the entries are being argued.
From a practical point of view, it can make

it very difficult to craft an order and can
cause all kinds of delay in doing that. What is
being suggested is a cut-straight-to-the-chase
of having an in-camera inspection, both parties
present. And if there is a particular issue,
for example, confidential source, because I
would then have the document and I would know
who the confidential source is, I can ask
whatever questions are necessary to determine
whether a privilege exists or it does not. If
it doesn't, it's released. If the privilege
exists, we still have yet to cross the bridge.
But this is a threshold question, because a
lot of what III seeing that you're arguing, the
majority are situations where there is
disclosure and the privilege no longer exists.
Generally, it deals with disclosure to
third parties, but III not necessarily sure that
it wouldn't be a lot quicker and easier to do an
in-camera inspection and, if need be,
line-by-line say yes, no.
MRS. SANCHEZ: With both sides?

SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: As I say, the
alternative is, let's assume right now that I
take the position that the log is inadequate.
What the defense or what the plaintiff
seems to suggest - we'll use confidential
source for a second - is that the confidential
source be revealed. Well, at that point, the
cat's out of the bag. No way to take that one
back.
The question is: Can they argue
confidential source or must they in a privilege
log always reveal a confidential source? The
plaintiff seems to take the position that a
privilege log would require that you reveal a
confidential source, and I don't think the case
law really supports that.
And if it doesn't, then it seems to me that
there has to be an alternative method of doing
it where we have a Master who now has or will
have all the Bates Stamp documents.
It seems to me at least determining the X
or the 0, privileged or not privileged, in terms
of the X or the 0 it may be a lot quicker and
easier to do the in-camera inspection on that.
Once we determine what's left, what's privileged

procedure of the hearing at that point to
determine whether there's been some situation,
crime fraud or otherwise, that somehow
eliminates that particular privilege.
MR. ACKERMAN: Your Honor, I think Mr.
Scarola has glossed over an important
requirement in the rule. The rule doesn't
His proposal neglects the portion of the rule
that says - and this is Rule 1.280(b) 5 of the
Florida Rules and there is a similar provision
in the Federal Rules - and the idea and what
these cases say, I mean, we're not trying to
craft additional work for them. We're asking
them to do what the law requires: The
information must be sufficient to enable the
parties to assess the applicability of the
privilege or protection.
The problem with Mr. Scarola's suggestion
is, we can't make any assessment because -- And
we did object to the entire entry in the initial
letter that I sent out, because there is no
identification - and these are requirements in
the cases - there is no identification as to who
the person is or what their capacity is. There

That's why I would want
both parties there to be able to say who is John
Doe.
MR. ACKERMAN:
Your Honor, we can't
formulate, we can't make a meaningful assessment
as to whether the privilege claim is appropriate
or not without having the basic information
that's
required by TIG.
That is a requirement
in the rule.
It is a requirement in the cases.
Because he, Mr. Scarola, believes
you can do it
doesn't satisfy the rule where it says:

manner without revealing information itself

parties to assess the applicability
of the
privilege or the protection.

predicates for the common interests have been

seen that will establish that.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
not sure
that part of my concern is the plaintiff is
seeking more in the log than is necessarily
fully required. For example, on the -- You
know, whether it's fact work-product or opinion
work-product, III not sure that the log has to
distinguish this is fact work-product and this
is opinion work-product.
I think the log simply need to claim
work-product. It may have to identify whether
it's a -- if it's a photograph. In this case,
it's identifying a memorandum, but III not sure
it has to say that the memorandum is a fact
work-product memorandum or an opinion
work-product or it's both.
MR. ACKERMAN: But it's gotta say something
-- Excuse me, Your Honor.

work-product.

work-product? They don't describe it. They

whether it's a memorandum of law. And I submit
to you that that's what these cases require.
You're not going to be able to conduct
meaningful review. We're not going to be able
to make meaningful objections. And that's the
purpose of this rule, so that we can do that.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Well, the issue I
guess what IIIlooking at, because
going to
have the documents, III not sure that I agree
that I cannot conduct a meaningful review.
There is a practical side that IIIlooking
at I think both sides really aught consider.
We can go back and forth from pillar to post
trying to get what the plaintiff considers a
perfect privilege log. III not sure we'll ever
get that. We can spend the next six or eight
months doing that.
MR. ACKERMAN: What's wrong with them just
identifying who these people are?
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: We can have an
in-camera inspection and resolve it. It may
cost us a day or two, but we can have an
in-camera inspection and simply put the Xs or

Os.
Once we do that, we can proceed and move
pretty well. It seems to me, even if the log --
even if there are defects in the log, if one
looks from the practical side, both sides seem
to be taking the position at this point: Let's
move this along. The fastest way to move it
along would be an in-camera inspection. No
question that would be the absolute quickest
way. Because in the long run, we're going to
have to have an in-camera inspection of some
sort any way. Down the road, sooner or later,
that issue is going to raise.
As I say, we can wait three or four months
battling back and forth trying to get a perfect
privilege log or we can do the in-camera
inspection expeditiously and resolve those
issues right off the bat. It just seems to me
that from a practical side it may be a lot
quicker to do it that way.
MRS. SANCHEZ: Maybe III not understanding
the in-camera inspection, because to me it
almost seems as if now you're doing their job
which is fine.

SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
The first
document.
The transcript
of Alfredo Rodriguez deposition.
We can make a determination:
Privileged, not
privileged.
Work-product, not work-product.

mean, I can give it an X or an 0.
We can
probably right this minute, right now, determine
whether that's
privileged or not privileged
right off the bat.
It's
taken in front of a
court reporter.
Does the court reporter waive
the privilege?
There are various things that we can end up
doing.
Is presumably a properly noticed
deposition a privileged document?
Again, I can
probably rule on that right now.

to have to sit down and have that decision.
It's an X or an O.
What I don't necessarily want to do at an
in-camera inspection is do an
inspection where I don't give
opportunity to say anything.
And so, if I take the position
Gee, if this is done in front of a

off the

bat,
reporter at a deposition, a regularly-scheduled
deposition in a civil case, is this privileged
at all? And why in the world would I find that
to be privileged? They can give me their
reasons why they think it's privileged or not,
but I can put an X or put an O at the end of
that, ultimately, in the absence of an
agreement, since right now they're saying we
don't want to give any of this stuff.
MRS. SANCHEZ: Right.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: As unpleasant as
it's going to be, in the long run what we're
going to need to do is at least sit down and
make the threshold determination: Yes,
facially, it's privileged. Or, no, it's not.

these things at least on their face to me don't

MRS. SANCHEZ:
This in-camera inspection,
would there be a court reporter so that we could
object later?
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
Yes.
The way I like
to do an in-camera inspection just so that both
sides are aware:
In-camera means that III not
showing it to you. So, we know that. You're
not going to get to see it. However, what the
in-camera does, I can generically identify
something and make a determination that it falls
within a category or it doesn't.
For example, using this deposition. I can
say the deposition is yes or no. I can give
them an opportunity to raise whatever they feel
is appropriate.
When we get to a confidential source, III
going to know who the confidential source is,
because III going to have the paper directly in
front of me. You're not going to know the
confidential source initially. I'll try and
find from them at the hearing why this would
fall within some type of a privilege.
What III looking for is initially to take
the 17,000 or 15,000 entries and assign an X or

an O to the 15,000 entries.
MRS. SANCHEZ: Right. Basically, during
this in-camera hearing, essentially, what would
happen is that the information that we believe
is missing from the log to make that
determination, you would look at the document
and you would provide the information necessary
for us to make that argument?
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: When you say
"provide the information," III not --
MR. ACKERMAN: Here's an example, Your
Honor. If there is a letter from Brad Edwards
to John Jones, you look at it. How are we
going to be able to argue that's a waiver of
the privilege without knowing who John Jones
is?
MRS. SANCHEZ: Right.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: That's an easy one.
Let's take Entry 2. It's from Brad Edwards to
Katherine Ezell. I have no clue who Katherine
Ezell is, but we know Katherine Ezell is
formally listed here.
I can ask Brad Edwards: Who is Katherine
Ezell? He can say this is a secretary in the
law firm. He can say it's an outside

MR. ACKERMAN: Can't we get that information
before you have an in-camera hearing, that's
what we're asking for, so that we can --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: I don't actually
have a particular problem if we look to do an
in-camera hearing to try and trim the in-camera
hearing if we can trim it.
MR. KNIGHT: That certainly would make it
a lot more efficient if we would already --
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Would be to go with
what I had originally suggested. If we get a
master list of who the players are so that when
you're listing people such as Katherine Ezell,
Jackie Johnson is another one who I think is a
paralegal or with the firm from reading before.
MR. EDWARDS: Right.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: But when you're
listing Jackie Johnson --
MR. SCAROLA: We'll give you a score card.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: -- and it's to Adam
Horowitz, as to who Adam Horowitz is. So that
at least we get a score card of who's who. What

position, maybe not, but we may be in a position
with a score card of paring down what we
actually have to do at an in-camera hearing.
MRS. SANCHEZ: The other thing that's
interesting on the privilege log, and I know we
went through this, is that a lot of these
e-mails and/or letters or whatever they are, I
think they're all e-mails, usually have ccs and
bccs which are important to us also. There's
not any of them that have that information. And
a cc or a bcc is very, very important, because
that in and of itself would be the waiver of the
privilege if it went to an outside source or
someone that's not within the privilege and
that's not here either.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: But I am still
saying that to have the privilege log - because
III not sure that we're going to get a privilege
log that is going to satisfy the plaintiff and
I don't mean that disrespectfully at all - but I
think to get a privilege log when you're dealing
with e-mails where there are copies, the blind
copies, where you have e-mail strings, they go
on forever, the privilege log really becomes
relatively unwieldy. And the very unwieldiness

of the privilege log is going to always create
the objection that can be raised.
What I'llconcerned with is we can end up
with privilege log objection, new privilege log
objection, new privilege log objection and go on
for months doing that, which is the way I see
this going.
Or, alternatively, we just take the bull by
the horns and sit down and do it. If we sit
down and do it, what I normally -- what I would
envision is having this and putting an X or an 0
or a check on those things that are privileged,
those things that are not privileged.
At the end of the hearing the Bates Stamp
item, if I'lldetermining that it is privileged,
we have it subject to appellate review, subject
to court review if Judge Rey wants to look over
it, but it's subject to review. We have it set.
Once we determine where there are privileges
then we can cross the bridge if there are other
exceptions to the privilege as it would require
a further evidentiary hearing.
But III saying a lot of this stuff, probably
the majority of it, can be either eliminated as
it's not privileged and it is discoverable or

log, Jack?
MR. EDWARDS: I think there's about 2,000
e-mails.

What IIIlooking at is, basically, a
quick determination, for example: Is a

work-product? And it seems to me IIIII get an
answer to that one. A lot of these, that's
ultimately what III seeing
As I have gone through the privilege log,
that's what most of them are. There are going
to be some that aren't, but most are. And the
ones that we actually get to that aren't, we set
those aside and that can be a separate
evidentiary hearing, but I just think we're
going to spin our wheels for a long, long time
trying to get a perfect TIG log out of this.
When you're dealing with this type of
evidence, when you're dealing with the e-mails,
with copies and blind copies, strings, I mean,
we're just never going to get a perfect
privilege log. And as I say, I think that the
plaintiff in one respect is expecting more than
the plaintiff is likely to get on a privilege
log to begin with.

Well, I think we're just

names of the ccs or bccs and who these players
are and what connection they had.

we have, anyone who's named in here -- Now,

thereabouts, but we're just not going to have
that many names. A lot of them are repetitive.

I don't know who Kathy Ezell is when that is an
attorney that represented 21 underaged girls and
you dealt with on a daily basis for two years is
just not true. I didn't realize that I had to
tell them that this is somebody you dealt with
for two years every single day. You know who
these people are. You may not know and I think

will cover at least all the principal players.

aside stuff that you're putting an X on, then we
want to be able to have the opportunity at that
point in time to tell you the additional
information we're going to need to assert any

what III envisioning. Again, this is in
somewhat of a perfect world assuming that nobody
has a big objection or is filing objections on
this and the initial objections would probably
come out of the defense side. Let's say we have
100 entries and let's assume that I decide that
75 of those entries, there simply is not either
attorney-client or work-product.
Then my view
is, you get the 75.

Now, of course, they can raise an objection
at that point if they decide that it's
wrong,
because I can write out my findings that this is
what

work-product.
But assuming we don't have a
problem with that, then you get the 75.
For the 25 that we find that there is
work-product, we still
then go through the
procedure.
At this point once I make a
determination that there is at least a threshold
showing right now that we have an

privilege or we have a
work-product privilege,
the burden then may
shift to you at that point to come up with, Why
not?
What we still
do according to our original
plan is we make a determination at a subsequent
hearing:
What are the ground rules we're all
following?
What is the procedure now?
What is
the standard as a preponderance of the evidence?
Is it clear and convincing?
What is our
standards and what exactly -- who's got what
burden to establish what?
We lay out the ground rules so that we're
all clear on that and then we have a hearing on

that issue.
MR. ACKERMAN: But you're going to have an
additional step with that. In one sense you
think you may be saving time in one area, but
what's going to happen is, you're going to come
up with a stack of documents for which you think
there is a privilege and then we're going to
need to know which those documents are and we're
going to need to know or at least be able to
express what information we need in order to
proceed with our claim that it's privileged or
not.
So, for example, if there is additional
information -
going to pick the capacity
argument for the sake of it, for the sake of
illustrating my point - if they don't tell us
who the capacity is and you don't tell us, we
can't argue that there is a waiver because we
don't know whether the person that received this
document was, in fact, part of the litigation
team or is protected by some other legal
privilege.
We need to have an understanding,
respectfully, sir, that once the pile of the Xs
is determined we have an opportunity at that

point to say we need this additional information
if we're going to assert an exception or a
waiver.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: I had cited a case,
and I don't recall off the top of my head the
case, but what my recollection of the case is:
The threshold burden in this case is upon the
defendant to establish that there is a
privilege. Whatever the privilege is, it's
their burden to establish that there is a
privilege.
There is a particular standard and the case
dealt with the standard that they had to meet to
be able to establish that, whether it was prima
facie or what their standard is. Once that's
established then we know exactly what the
privilege is and exactly what they're claiming.
If they are claiming that this is team
information, they're going to have to establish
the basis upon which they're claiming a
privilege; and that's their burden. Your
burden doesn't come until after that.
Once they establish that, then you have to
establish why there is an exception to it, that
there has been outside disclosure. Whether we

have, for example, a litigation team privilege,
whether that applies, they have to establish
litigation team. That's the point where you
would argue, no, it's not litigation team.
Either there is no such privilege as litigation
team or these people aren't on the litigation
team. They have to put on sufficient evidence
to establish the litigation team.
Once they establish it, if they can, then
the burden comes on you to come up with some
reason why then; because there's been disclosure
to a third party, because there's been some
other thing that would somehow obviate that
particular privilege. But the threshold
questions that you're talking about they have to
establish first.
MR. ACKERMAN: III not sure I agree with
you. III not sure -- My concern is to
address if they're not established at the time
that you finish your review.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: No. What
MR. ACKERMAN: Because they haven't
established it in terms of this log, in terms
of, for example, whether there's a waiver
because they haven't identified the people.

That's an example of what I'lltalking
about, and
there may be others.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
Well, what III
looking at right now is, in terms of what I see,
the first in-camera inspection is more one of
exclusion than inclusion. What I'llsaying is,
I'lltaking out the stuff that is fairly
obviously not privileged. When we get to things
where there may be an evidentiary hearing,
whether it's privileged or not, what IIIlooking
at are certain things that are not privileged.
Let's say, the deposition. There maybe an
argument the deposition simply is not
privileged. If it's not privileged, it's not
privileged. If there has been disclosure to
third parties and on the face of it I can see we
have disclosure to third parties and they're not
raising litigation team, they're not raising
whatever they're raising, then it's not
privileged.
Now, if they raised litigation team and so
we end up with that Katherine Ezell and they're
raising this is litigation team, what my view is
initially at that point at the first in-camera
inspection, I'll let that go. I'll let them

raise what they are raising.
At a second hearing once we narrow down,
because at this point now you're going to know
that Katherine Ezell, what they are raising
actually is the litigation team. And so you're
going to know that at the end of the first
hearing at least what they're raising.
When we actually get to a second hearing on
this, the second hearing, the threshold burden
is on them. Evidentiary hearing, they're going
to have to establish litigation team. If they
don't, it gets released. If they do, then the
burden switches over to you and you're going to
have to establish what exception you feel is an
appropriate exception.
But what III saying, by the end of our first
hearing we will have culled out everything
that is obviously not privileged and, ideally,
we would have at least narrowed down what the
privilege is.
If it's an exotic privilege such as
litigation team or this is a right of privacy,
whatever they're ultimately alleging as to why
that shouldn't be turned over, with each of
those documents we're going to go through and

make that determination.
MR. SCAROLA: I have a question.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Yeah.
MR. SCAROLA: Why must that be done in a
two-step process? If we've got the document in
front of us right now and if it identifies
Katherine Ezell, if the basis of our privilege
claim is that Katherine Ezell shared a common
interest with us and the information was being
shared confidentially pursuant to an agreement
to exchange information among persons who were
prosecuting claims against Mr. Epstein on behalf
of child victims of Mr. Epstein, why can't that
determination be made while we have that
document in front of us as opposed to putting it
aside and coming back to it at a later time to
argue that?
We know what the issues are. They've been
briefed by it by opposing counsel extensively in
the memo that's already been submitted. We
argue it. You decide it. That document is out
of the way. We don't have to come back to it.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: My only quarrel with
that is, that suggests an evidentiary hearing.
And as we try to go through 2,000 documents,

that's going to take it a lot longer than a

=more inclined to give them a relatively
clear - by "them," being the plaintiff - a
relatively clear idea of what particular
privilege is being asserted. If they want to
challenge and cross-examine Katherine Ezell,
they can challenge and cross-examine Katherine
Ezell.
But I think we'll need to take a look at
the case that I had cited at one point which
seems to be the relatively pole star case on how
to do these hearings. I can't recall whether
that needed a prima facie showing. Ultimately,
I think we're going to need to sit down and
figure out our ground rules on exactly how we're
doing it. Can you say it? Is that sufficient?
Do we have to bring in Katherine Ezell? Does
she have to testify? We're going to have to
lay out the ground rules, and III not
necessarily sure on the in-camera inspection
that it's going to be economical doing it that
way.
MR. SCAROLA: III not suggesting that the
right to an evidentiary hearing be eliminated,

but taking the specific example that we are
presently discussing, it is unimaginable that
they are going to contest the fact that
Katherine Ezell was representing child victims
of Mr. Epstein at the same time that Brad
Edwards was representing those child victims.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: What I don't have a
problem with that we may be able to resolve at
this point: If we're dealing with only a legal
issue where both sides are in accord that the
facts are not particularly in dispute, and so if
we're dealing with an issue is there such a
thing as a litigation team privilege, either
there is or there isn't --
MR. SCAROLA: That's all III suggesting.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Then III saying if
it's a legal issue only, I can probably resolve
it at the in-camera inspection. If it's not a
legal issue only, if there is a mixed question
of fact and law, it requires an evidentiary
hearing and I wouldn't resolve it.
But what III trying not to do at the initial
in-camera inspection is get into evidentiary
issues, because that will dramatically lengthen
the in-camera inspection.

MR. SCAROLA: I understand and I agree.
MR. ACKERMAN: Your Honor, my concern is
that while there may be some documents, it's
hard for us to commit to what's going on without
knowing who people are. In the case of
Katherine Ezell, she may have sent this
litigation strategy memo to a third party thus
waiving it after you look at it.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: That's fine.
MR. ACKERMAN: We need to have an
intermediate step here that allows us to look at
what you are tentatively upholding a privilege
on so that we can see if we have enough
information to make a challenge to the
privilege, if we feel it's appropriate, or not
and brief you on that before there is a final
ruling, as we had discussed at the last
procedure hearing we had, where we would have a
chance to brief you on the procedure and the
method for determining any claims of privilege
that you've preliminarily determined exists.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Let me see if we can
agree on the following. Today is Tuesday. By
say Tuesday of next week, get a master list,

MRS. SANCHEZ: The 22nd.
MR. KNIGHT: The 22nd.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Have a master list
by the 22nd. I had indicated to everybody, I
think previously, III out of town starting
tomorrow and I will be out of town through the
25th. Beginning on Monday, the 28th, III back
in town.
Depending on your schedules, III
anticipating -- I would like to see with a nice
early start we get it done in a day. I don't
think a day is going to be unreasonable, because
I think a lot of this, it's not going to require
that much argument. It's a question of just
going through 2,000 entries and I think we can
go through 2,000 entries in a day.
MR. SCAROLA: There may be five legal
arguments that's going to be determinative of
every issue that's before the court.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: If we do that, if
you all are available on the week of the 28th;
the sooner we do it, the better we do it.
Because at that point, what III envisioning is
we, hopefully, cull this down significantly.
Once we cull this down significantly we then

know what the issues are, what privileges are
being asserted and on what documents they're
being asserted.
What III like to do, because it will give us
an idea then of the approximate period of time
that we may need for the second hearing, III
actually seeing the second hearing is probably
going to be a lot shorter than the first.
Because what III ultimately saying is, it's
probably going to be the applicability of four
or five theories or the non-applicability as
opposed to going through on a
document-by-document on each one.
MR. KNIGHT: What specifically are you
requiring of a master list, because the TIG
objection in the beginning here is we need more
information to be able to make that hearing
efficient to move along?

alphabetical --
MR. KNIGHT: We need the ccs and the
bccs.

to get a list of anyone that they've named, who
they are. So you'll get anyone that they've

named, you'll get who they are. You'll get

And then at the hearing, because what I will
have is, I will have the log but Illi also going
to have the Bates Stamped documents. And so
I'll sit there with that Bates Stamped document
and we'll go through document by document.
MRS. SANCHEZ: And at that point you'll read
the ccs and bccs to us?
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Yes. Well, whether
I read the ccs and bcs to you, we'll take it
case by case. For example, if we have what
they're claiming is a confidential source, I may
not name the confidential source for you.
Otherwise, I may not have any problem doing it.
MR. KNIGHT: And we still would have our
arguments as to why a confidential source is not
going to be protected and, in fact, it's a
waiver?
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Sure. Absolutely.
What III saying is, purely legal arguments, I
can handle purely legal arguments at the initial
hearing. What III saying is out of this log, at
the end of this hearing on the log, I can put
yes, no, yes, no, yes, no as to privilege,

non-privilege. For the nos, it's not
privileged, you get them.
For the yes that it's privileged, at that
point now you will know what the privilege is
that's being asserted, whether it's
attorney-client, work-product, whatever is
ultimately being asserted here.
I will try at the hearing to ensure that you
have as much information as you need on a
particular document. You can then make a
determination. We should be able to see how
many different issues we've got and be able to
iron out the time for our second hearing, how
long that second hearing is going to take and
how quickly we can do it.
MR. ACKERMAN: Your Honor, I would
respectfully request that as part of the
master list they add the ccs and the bccs,
because if we know who everybody is that's
getting these documents then this review will go
a lot faster. I think if they end up looking at
these given the kind of list they've got on the
log, it's going to end up being the same people.
I don't think it's going to be that onerous.
I would request that they do that, because

then we don't have a dispute at the time as to
whether so-and-so is so-and-so and what their
capacity is.
You'll know and we'll know and
be able to address it at the hearing.
It will
be a lot more efficient.
MR. SCAROLA: There are 2,000 e-mails. That
is an extraordinary burden.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: =inclined to
agree. What I will do is this, and I think we
may not have any problem with this one: For any
particular e-mail where I'll determining that it
looks like, facially, we have a privilege where
we have non-confidential ccs and bcs, I will
tell you who they are.
MR. ACKERMAN: You'll tell us the names,
but we won't know who they are and their
capacity. That's what we're asking them to do
now.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: What they're going
to give at some point, because III assuming that
this master list that they're going to give is
going to pretty much be covering everyone who is
on the cc and bcc list.

Because if you have all of the people on the bcc
list and the cc list, then you're going to be
able to look right then and there and see
whether they're a part of the law firm or not.
Otherwise, you're going to tell us who the
cc is and the bcc. And if they're not on the
list, we're going to need to know who that is
and how it impacts it. If we have those people
in advance, we could move this a lot faster.

or who the blindcopy goes to? I can tell you,
yes, it goes to John Smith and so forth. That's

at a bcc and they see John Smith, they put his
name on the list. They don't have to put his
name next to each document if he's on that
document. You're going to see that.

MR. ACKERMAN: What we want is a list of the
capacities of everybody that is originating
documents, receiving them or getting copied.
Whether they're on there one time or two times,
I don't think we need to know how many documents
they're on or which ones. You're going to see
that. What I do think we need to know by the
time we do this is who is on them and what their
capacity is.

MRS. SANCHEZ: -- any attachments nor did
any of the documents we received, the irrelevant
ones and the ones that were for attorney's eyes
only, I didn't see any attachments. Were you
not printing out attachments?
MR. EDWARDS: Something was printed out for
me. I didn't printout anything. They were
delivered to my office and I used that. So then
I would turn it over. If it was irrelevant, I 1
didn't turn it over. If the attachment was in
there, it was in there. I didn't take out an
attachment that was attached or anything like
that.
MRS. SANCHEZ: Okay. I didn't see an
attachments, that's why --
MR. EDWARDS: Yeah, all that was printed was
the e-mail, all the e-mails. So if there was an
attachment to it, it may or may not have been
printed. Although, I think some attachments
were there because there were deposition
transcripts and things like that, and I think we
turned those over.
MRS. SANCHEZ: Well, like the first one, 76
to 89 does not seem like that would be a full
transcript of a deposition. But I could be, I

mean, maybe III wrong. Maybe it's a mini
version or something and we'll have it.
I mean, you know, if there was -- I would go
back to the disk and check the disk to make sure
that - I can't check it - to make sure that the
printing from the disk with the Bates Stamp
included all the attachments. I just noticed
now on the documents you gave us and in this
that I don't see attachments. I find that
strange.
MR. EDWARDS: Whatever there was was either
turned over or -- I didn't take out attachments.
I don't see how the production of a deposition
is going to prove that somebody was involved in
the ponzi scheme or not. III lost in this
process.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Let's see if we can
come up with a time that everyone is --
MR. KNIGHT: I was just trying to pull up my
calendar.
MRS. SANCHEZ: My only bad day is that
Monday.
MR. ACKERMAN: On the 28th. We have a
number of hearings on that case, too.

in a tobacco trial that is backup on the 28th.
If that does not go forward and then I am going
to have some flexibility the week of April 5 it
looks like.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: That's April 4.
MR. SCAROLA: April 4, yes.
MR. ACKERMAN: I think that would be a
better week for me.
MR. KNIGHT: The week of the 28th, fin
Texas. Towards the end of the week, Min
a
big hearing on the 28th.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: How about April 4th,
we can block off a day on that?
MR. ACKERMAN: I can do the 4th.

MR. ACKERMAN: How about the 6th?
MR. SCAROLA: The 6th is good.
MR. EDWARDS: The 6th is good for me, too.
MR. KNIGHT: I'll work on it. I've got a
couple of things I have to work on.

MR. SCAROLA: This is fine.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: My recommendation -
although III not the one driving in traffic at
this point when it's up here - the earlier we
get started, the more likely we are to finish
it. As early as you all are
You all are
traveling. So, again --
MR. KNIGHT: Some people have kid drop-off
schedules.

as early as we can reasonably get started I
would just as soon
MR. KNIGHT: We'll try to get back to you as
early as we can. I don't know which day.
MRS. SANCHEZ: Barring no traffic, I usually
can get here 9:15, 9:30, the latest.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: You want to
tentatively set 9:15. And if you're not here,
we'll wait until you get here. Tentatively set
it for 9:15 and then plan on a reasonably quick
lunch.
MR. SCAROLA: I'll have lunch brought in.

MR. ACKERMAN: I think you aught to write
something up.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Like an interim --
MR. ACKERMAN: Interim report.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Interim report.
MR. KNIGHT: Good idea.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: What
going to do
is, I'll go ahead and write out an interim
report and I'll e-mail it to you. And if you
can --
MR. ACKERMAN: Put it into a form file.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: Polish it.
MR. ACKERMAN: I'll send it to Jack.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY: And then submit it
to the judge. It's not going to have I guess a
handwritten signature, but it will be -- I'll
put my name.
MR. ACKERMAN: Well, what we can do is, when
we get the form, I can send it to you. You can
sign it. We can do a Notice of Filing of
interim report. And then your signed one will
get filed.

French Quarter Inn in Charleston.
I'll
be
there Friday and Saturday.
MR. ACKERMAN:
This Friday and Saturday.
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
Yeah, this Friday
and Saturday.
And so, if you get it there on
Friday, what I can do is sign it and send it
back to you.
MRS. SANCHEZ:
And you'll e-mail us whatever
it is?
SPECIAL MASTER CARNEY:
I'll
e-mail it
first
so that you have it.
The easiest way
that's
going to be fairly quick, if you can Fed
Ex it up with a return package so I can get it
right back to you.
But it's
the French Quarter
Inn is the name of the place.
That's
Charleston, South Carolina.
And then I'll
skip
it right back to you.
Then what I'll
do is try and get a quick
interim report out this afternoon so that you
actually have one this afternoon so you can work
on it.
Anything else that needs to be addressed?

No, sir.
