My client has not been subpoenaed by the government as yet nor have they provided the documents that were earlier requested by me. Those documents include evidence of grants of immunity given to the client. Dick McNeil (co-counsel) and I need to review the immunity docs to insure they are current and fully cover the client's 6. Our policy is no interviews until that is done. I intend to beard the government today as to why I don't have the docs. You may hear from the government that there has been an arrangement for the prosecutor to travel to NYC to interview the client. While that was earlier talked about as a possibility, in my view, the time has passed for such to occur. We will resist such a meeting. Our position is that the client has been fully cooperative with the government. He has given repeated interviews and testified multiple times-he has met the mandate of any applicable immunity agreement, that he is not legally required to take time out from an incredibly busy personal and professional life to come to New York for an interview. Frankly, the interruption to his life caused by the need to be on the West Coast for the trial is significant and impactful, to add more of an imposition is not warranted. In my view, enough is enough. He will not meet with the government in NYC. Obviously, he will respond to a properly issued subpoena and testify at the trial. He will of course while in California per the subpoena be available for interview by the government as well as the defense. If we get the immunity documents before my client travels to California from the East Coast and they are in order, he may well make himself available for a telephonic interview. The timing will of course depend on how quickly the government gets the requisite documents to the defense team. I will keep you up to speed as things unfold. VR, David Brahms 800 Grand Ave, Ste.
