EFTA00032753.pdf

This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Scott Srebnick, attorney for Michael Avenatti, dated December 5, 2019. The government responds to a defense request for information regarding Jeffrey Epstein and alleged videos mentioned in a New York Times article, which the defense sought as impeachment material for witnesses associated with Boies Schiller Flexner LLP. The government argues the defendant is not yet entitled to this material, notes the prosecution team is not involved in Epstein investigations, and states they will object to the defense raising these 'inflammatory' allegations before the jury.

EFTA00032751.pdf

This document is a formal legal demand letter dated December 2, 2019, from attorneys Scott A. Srebnick and Jose M. Quinon, representing Michael Avenatti, to the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY). The letter requests Brady/Giglio material regarding David Boies and John Stanley Pottinger, citing a New York Times report that they attempted to purchase secret videos filmed by Jeffrey Epstein to extort wealthy men. The defense argues that since Boies Schiller Flexner (BSF) lawyers are witnesses against Avenatti, evidence of their firm chairman's potential criminal conduct is relevant to their credibility and motive to curry favor with the government.

EFTA00029584.pdf

This document is a letter from attorney Scott A. Srebnick to Judge Paul G. Gardephe regarding the prison conditions of Michael Avenatti at MCC-New York. The letter details Avenatti's placement in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) on the 10-South floor (formerly El Chapo's cell), citing extreme cold, isolation, and lack of resources as impediments to trial preparation. The defense requests Avenatti be moved to the general population and granted standard access to legal materials and communication. The text alludes to 'recent issues at the institution,' likely a reference to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide at the same facility months prior.
