the party; (b) instruct the jury that it may or must presume the information was unfavorable to
the party; or (C) dismiss the action or enter a default judgment.”’).
The Court may also wish to consider the possibility of a having a neutral, third-party
expert review Defendant’s production. In her filing with the Court on Monday, August 1, 2016,
Defendant represented that she ran hundreds of search terms - including the names of people
involved in the sex trafficking ring with whom she still associates in the present - and got zero
“hits” for any of them. That is strong indicia that Defendant intentionally deleted documents.
This strongly suggests that relevant documents either lie in the two email accounts that were not
searched or Defendant has deleted these communications. Defendant does not state that the
individual who examined Defendant’s devices attempted to recover Defendant’s deleted email
and other documents, or attempted to identify if and when a hard drive was wiped.
In these circumstances, the Court should allow an independent forensic expert review the
computer and all her email accounts to determine whether responsive materials exists and have
either not been produced or have been deleted. The Court could then use that information in
determining whether an adverse inference is appropriate.
II. CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth above, Ms. Giuffre respectfully request that this Court grant her
motion for an adverse inference jury instruction pursuant to Rule 27(b), (e), and (f), with respect
to the electronic documents and electronic communications that this Court Ordered her to
produce, allow a forensic review of her computer to evaluate whether material was intentionally
deleted; and direct Defendant to recover any remaining mindspring.com data from the applicable
server.
