Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1328-5 Filed 01/05/24 Page 38 of 45 This document is CONFIDENTIAL under the Court’s Protective Order (DE 62) The request is also vague because it is not clear precisely what "witnesses" Defendant Maxwell is concerned about. There have, for example, between communications between Ms. Giuffre's lawyers and lawyers for Mr. Epstein and Mr. Dershowitz connected with procedural and other aspects of this case. Again, the relevance of such communications seems basically non-existent to the action. But because the case has spanned eight years, collecting such communications would be difficult and overly burdensome. Moreover, Defendant Maxwell has a close working relationship and/or joint defense arrangement with both Mr. Epstein and Mr. Dershowitz. There is no reason to burden Ms. Giuffre's attorneys will collecting such communications when she can collect them in other ways. 10. All Documents concerning any Communications between you or your attorneys and any witness or potential witness in Edwards and Cassell v Dershowitz (“Dershowitz” case). Response to Request For Production No. 10: Ms. Giuffre objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad and unduly burdensome, particularly as it calls for the production of documents that are irrelevant to this action and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and because it would require the review of hundreds of thousands of documents which would take hours upon hours of attorney time. It is not clear what the phrase "concerning" is designed to cover. As a third-party witness in that action, Ms. Giuffre had numerous communications with, for example, her attorneys in relation to that matter, and therefore, these communications are subject to the attorney client privilege and protected by the work product doctrine. It unclear what documents "concerning" communications with “witnesses” refers to, and it could expansively cover a vast number of documents, emails, and other communications that have taken place over the course of this litigation. 37
