Email from a SDNY prosecutor on drafting a letter to defense counsel

Email from an Assistant US Attorney in SDNY about drafting a response letter to defense counsel following a meet-and-confer directed by Judge Nathan, raising concerns over third-party redaction requests.Machine-written summary

In case it’s useful while we’re troubleshooting this issue today, I’m attaching the working draft. We’ll let you know if we find additional authorities on this or obtain different guidance

We’re working on drafting a letter in response to the attached, and wanted to give you a heads up. We hope to have a draft for you this afternoon, in the hopes of sending the draft to defense counsel tonight as part of the meet-and-confer directed by Judge Nathan. I think that leaves sufficient time for filing tomorrow.

Although we’re mindful of third party privacy interests, for non-parties who are neither witnesses nor victims in the case, I do have concerns about entertaining redaction/intervention requests, given the high volume of people who may ask to be heard or assert a right to review and redact documents if this were entertained.

Thanks,

Assistant United States Attorney Southern District of New York One Saint Andrew’s Plaza New York, NY 10007
