Summary

This document is a court transcript from a case filed on February 24, 2022. It captures a conversation between the judge ('THE COURT') and a lawyer ('MR. SHECHTMAN') about the government's failure to disclose information in a timely manner and making misleading statements in a memorandum. Mr. Shechtman concedes the point and states his intention to submit the documents in question for the judge's private 'in camera' review, viewing it as an inevitable step to resolve the issue of privilege.

conversation
THE COURT: I'm really thinking about beyond the plaza
conversation, at the time a month and a half later when they
filed their motion, they failed to disclose to the Court what
they knew and when they knew it. And a series of proceedings
then occur, essentially initiated by both the Court and the
government to find out what they knew and when they knew it.
And their statements in their memorandum to the Court on their
motion that they knew were wrong or misleading at the time that
they made them to me.
MR. SHECHTMAN: You're not going to get much argument
from me on the point. The Court has a sort of lovely phrase in
the opinion about disclosure by iteration or something like
that. There is no doubt when you go from the telephone
conversation to the document itself, and then to and not
wanting further discovery, wanting your Honor to somehow
address a preliminary issue and issues of privilege. Your
Honor knows I act in this case late and the first thing I did
was to say, what are we kidding ourself? We are going to turn
over those documents to the Court because worse come to worst,
the Court is going to look at them in camera. And if it is
going to look at them in camera, it is going to look at them, I
don't know you can say out of camera, but it's going to look at
them. This is not a game.
I think what happened, though, is lawyers said to
