had in the Chemical Bank case. In no uncertain terms, [REDACTED] explained why she had
haled the prosecutor back into court:
[REDACTED BLOCK]
[REDACTED BLOCK]
[REDACTED BLOCK]
Ex. E, p 2.
In Chemical Bank, a protective order precluded parties to a civil case from disclosing
confidential documents to others. 154 F.R.D. at 92–93. Despite this prohibition, counsel for the
defendant approached the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and suggested that it had
evidence of criminal violations relating to the case. Id. at 93. A grand jury issued a subpoena,
and the defendant produced to the government various confidential documents without
complying with any of the specific procedures or exceptions provided in the protective order. Id.
Once this collusion came to light, the district court reprimanded the defendant for its “disregard
of the [protective] order[]” and admonished its behavior as “contrary to the traditions of the Bar
which dictate that court orders be respected.” Id.
In addressing the government’s application here, [REDACTED] specifically asked
whether [REDACTED] had acted as the defendant did in Chemical Bank. The prosecutor omitted
any mention of his office’s previous meetings with the firm, and falsely led the court to believe
that [REDACTED] had not encouraged its investigation. Reassured by the misrepresentations,
[REDACTED] commented:
[REDACTED BLOCK]
[REDACTED BLOCK]
[REDACTED BLOCK]
[REDACTED BLOCK]
[REDACTED BLOCK]
